Thank you to all who planned for, cooked for, served for, and cleaned up after the July 4th BBQ yesterday. It seemed to be a huge success. I enjoyed it all immensely. Yum!”– Suzanne W., resident

“Kudos to the chef(s) for a really great buffet. We have a friend who is a former chef and known for his ribs, but we both feel these were the best we’ve ever had. The affair was top-notch. Thanks for inviting us.”– Stan & Diana H., residents

“I want to give a shout-out to Korey, the server and bartender. He is a man who wants to please and has tackled the job with eagerness and fun. Last night, I observed him serving a wide range of individuals and each of our groups received the attention appropriate to our needs. Korey never seemed rattled, kept our table up to date on what was happening with our orders, and brought us hot meals. Savannah did lend him a hand with delivering. At one point there were 17 of us at varying stages of our meals and Korey and the other servers were doing a superb job of keeping all those balls in the air. Thank you!”– Suzanne, resident

“Thank you so much for the wonderful Mother’s Day brunch. The food choices were outstanding and delicious. The pub and entertainment room were festive and inviting. You all keep raising the bar. I can hardly wait to see what you have planned for next time.”– Shannon, resident

“Kudos and thank you to all the Ackerly staff for the fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day celebration! Beautiful decorations all around, and Shaymus was very enjoyable.

Thank you, thank you!”– Eileen and Ray, residents

“Thank you to all who had something to do with the New Year’s Eve Party in the pub this past Friday! Thank you to Freddy for the enjoyable appetizers. Thank you, Derrick, Courtney, and Susan for the fun in the pub – and the drinks! Thank you Aimee and Jessie for the decorations, party favors, and games. We enjoyed it all!

“Our entire family is thankful for your professional and compassionate staff. I would like to thank the dining staff for hunting down food that Mom could eat and sending up food to support the daughter/caregiver. Your staff was always willing to help, encourage, and provide wonderful scenic adventures with commentary that mom really appreciated. Additionally, from start to finish, the staff worked tirelessly with us on every concern and found solutions. They are true “can-do” ladies. My thanks from the heart.” –Suzanne W., family member of a resident

“Thank you for the wonderful dinner in the dining room tonight. There were only 8 of us which is a shame. The food, including the best baked potato I’ve had here, was delicious and hot! The service is lovely, very personalized. I believe you all have done a masterful job getting the restaurant open, the servers are so pleasant and the kitchen staff is doing amazing work, to get dinners delivered as well as served in the restaurant.” –Suzanne W., resident

“Completely happy with the community, the food, and the staff are phenomenal. Outstanding apartment and plant operations supervisor who is there for all our needs whenever.” –Dorothy B., resident

“The Ackerly at Timberland has given my mom the warmth and love that I desired for her. Along with the need to handle the problems of her extreme Celiac Disease. The Ackerly at Timberland took that challenge and has kept her fed with wonderful gluten-free meals. She receives the attention and care that has contributed to her good health and enabled her to reach the age of 97. Our family is extremely grateful for the Ackerly staff for giving her a wonderful quality of life. Thank you to everyone who comes to work each day and keeps my mom cared for, and safe, especially now!” – Bonny F., family member of a resident

“We have been very pleased with the care my father has received at The Ackerly at Timberland. It has just been over 2 years now since he arrived. We really appreciate the caring staff who interact with him. If you were to ask my dad what he likes best, I know he would say that he ‘really enjoys the food’, which is wonderful! Whenever I’ve had to call or email the Ackerly staff with any questions, they still seem really positive and upbeat.” –Carly H., family member of a resident

“Thank you so much for all the margarita fixings. They are already in the fridge, chilled for the celebration on Tuesday. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. ” – Diana,  resident

“My mother-in-law, Joan Pratt, loves her class and in a conversation, I heard in the elevator it sounds like they all adore her and love going to her class. As well, she mentioned how she works with her friend, Ivy, and is helping to get her out of a wheelchair.” – Melissa P., family member of a resident

“The food is always yummy and barista from day to day w specials. It is delivered with such flair. It feels like a restaurant where the waitress knows who you are. ” – Gene, resident

“My aunt is in memory care at The Ackerly and we LOVE how the staff takes care of her and the other residents.” – Julie Y., family member of a resident

“We moved our mom to memory care this past Friday. It was an emotional move, but one that was made exceptionally smooth due to the care that the staff put into the process. They went so far as to relocate the sofa that had been outside her AL room to now sit near her new MC room so that she would feel at home immediately. An incredibly thoughtful gesture.” – Bill M., family member of a resident
