"I would highly recommend this community to anyone, they provided excellent care for my mother. The staff is caring and very capable. They provided my mother with the highest level of care. Even when issues arose due to a poor discharge process from a rehab facility, they quickly jumped in to solve the issues. Amber Lights was also able to seamlessly transition her into end of life care with hospice services when necessary. I had great communication with the sales director on our initial contact and continued throughout her stay. I am thankful for all the staff at Amber Lights who cared for my mother during this difficult time." - Sofia… Read more

"I have lived here since Nov of 2024; Thanksgiving time. The FOOD is the worst I ahve ever been served. The chicken is always DRY, TOUGH, and Tasteless. The sauces, especially an Alfredo sauce is ghastly; noodles and sauce are all stuck together and the sauce is way too thick. Not light and fluffy noodles. Rice Pilaf: Always cold and sticky; not fluffy and light. Most meats are way overcooked and dry before they put any sauce on them. I am in the process of finding another place to live, ONLY because of the FOOD. I cannot tolerate it any more. I have complained, talked to the chef, written comments on specific foods and nothing is ever done to make any changes, Apartments are very nice; dog park is excellent but for the COST the food absolutely SUCKS. I would NEVER recommend this facility to anyone who has a taste bud." - Willie… Read more

"La Siena has been amazing for my mom. She moved here from another facility that was just awful. La Siena has been amazing since day 1. She has been there close to a year now and loves every part of it. People are active (even though when you tour you see a lot of people in walkers - which was my mom's concern), happy and love attending the events. There is a good mix of ages and abilities and the staff and events cater to everyone. My mom walks her dogs around the property and by the canal with several other residents and attends daily events with others who come to her room to make sure she is aware of the event. The food is good, the staff is wonderful and the building and grounds are beautiful." - Karla… Read more
