I have resided here for past four months and unfortunately I would not recommend it. Facility is more than 20 years old and filthy with all kinds of bugs food is terrible they use the cheapest quality of meats and fish and food loaded with salt, sugar and fried foods. 80 bed facility largely filled only has 1-2 nurses working each 8-12 hour shift and not enough aides the aides often help out in kitchen and with the residents and I don’t think they get paid more than $13-15 an hour. Their sign says #1 they don’t abuse and neglect residents but crappy and unhealthy food and not even proper staff to resident ratio is just that. Most patients in 80s and 90s and I feel from the general lack of care they receive it should be called assisted dying. There are indeed a few high quality nurses and aides but a lot not as good because they don’t speak or understand English well. They seem to be moving in a lot of residents at the very end stages of life when I think the families would be better off with home care if they are that close to end . Ambulances are an almost daily occurrence here back and forth to hospitals . Pretty sad environment overall. Concerns are addressed to the executive staff but no major changes are made. Their hands are tied by budgetary restrictions so I blame the owners of these places who should be fined for providing such low quality care compared to the prices charged . Prices range from 4000 per month and up depending on levels of care needed. The more wealthy families supplement with private aide hires but most cannot afford the extra care.

Thank you to the dedicated team at Sonata Boca Raton for the excellent care for my mom for the last several years. These are difficult diseases and it has been comforting to provide my mom with safety, exceptional care, community, and the ability to enjoy time together with her being so close. The level of engagement and activities at Sonata brought out the best in my mom…whether bingo, dominoes, live music, sing-a-long videos, exercise class, games, arts and crafts, gardening, hair salon, and many more. The team is very involved and in communication with families. They are truly dedicated to the residents and put their hearts into this compassionate work. We appreciate you.

My mother-in-law has been at Sonata Boca Raton for about eight months. Some days she cannot get anyone to get her out of bed. Seems like this happens once or twice a month. At which point, my mother-in-law is in tears of frustration. We also needed to hire a personal aide eight hours a day in order to give her the care she needs because they don't have enough employees to take care of the elderly patients they already have there! This is something you should be aware of before you place a loved one here. Besides that, however, she really enjoys the food and the activities. But the frustration and despair she feels makes me wonder if we chose the wrong place. : (

A rare review from me - I am very proud to know and be a resource for the people at Sonata in Boca Raton. From their Director on down, Sonata's focus has always been about providing the best care for their residents. I appreciate the great people who work hard to provide such a positive experience. Their dedication shows. Thank you!

I wanted to leave a raving review just days after my mom moved in but decided to wait a while to really see how we all still felt. Six months later, we could not be happier with mom's experience at Sonata. My mother is safe, she is eating well, getting her medications on time, and in the right dosage, she is being cared for, and kept busy. The daily activity list rivals some cruise ships. All the things that we just could not sleep well, not knowing while she was living alone. Peace of mind for our family is one of the biggest benefits from this experience so far. So, about Sonata... first of all, this place just feels like home. I tell people it feels like you're walking into a country inn that anyone would want to stay at. Let's face it.... these are elderly residents. The decor, and furnishings in the public areas are appropriate for their lifestyle... warm, homey, comfortable, and accessible. Mom's large studio apartment is the perfect size. We furnished it with a full-sized bed, dresser, nightstand, two easy chairs, ottoman, dinette set, desk, and end tables. The bathroom is large and safe with handrails. The room is bright, and cheery. She has plenty of space. A mini fridge and microwave is supplied. Although the fridge is low to the ground and hard for her to bend down. I think I just need to move it for her. But this review is not about the accommodations. It is about the staff, and other residents. Mom made friends immediately. She loves going out onto the patio and sitting with the ladies after meals, k'bitzing, commiserating, talking on the phone, and sometimes even dozing off. Every day there is something going on. Games, movies, exercise programs, arts & crafts, live entertainment, and religious services. It would be difficult to participate in everything that is available. Toya and her team are awesome. They keep everyone moving. I have even seen them go from room to room encouraging residents to get out and participate in the activities. Nobody is left to just sit and rot in their room. The nursing staff and care team lead by Jennifer are incredible. These are not just a bunch of unskilled "orderlies". They are amazing professionals... every one of them. Lets face it... this is why mom is here... to be CARED for. This is not a nursing home. It is "Assisted" living, but they do more than just assist... believe me. They actually care for the residents. They check in on the residents often, they're patient, they talk with them, they understand each resident's individual situation, and care for them appropriately. When a change order or prescription is sent from her doctor, the nursing staff handles it. When a medical issue arises, this team snaps into action. We already had one experience and could not be more pleased with the communication and how it was handled. I can call or text Jennifer and she will either respond, or have someone contact me right away. Bottom line.... the care team is spectacular, and we have peace of mind every day. I don't have any knowledge of how this Sonata facility was run in the past, I only can speak to the last 6 months. Just about the time that Reggie took over as the Executive Director. When I met Reggie, I immediately felt his sincerity, and professionalism. Reggie is a talented leader that is striving (and succeeding) to make the experience for Sonata residents and families one of the best in our area. We did our research before moving mom in, and compared to other Boca assisted living facilities, the level of care, quality of food, cleanliness, comfort, social programs, and activities scheduled, is far and away the best value out there. I thank this team and am grateful for finding Sonata for my mother to enjoy her life with safety, health, and comfort as the priority. I promise to update my review as time goes on so that other families considering Sonata can make well informed, and appropriate decisions for their loved ones too.

UPDATE March 14, 2023 FROM MY REVIEW 1 YEAR AGO BELOW! My father has been moved to a nursing home due to ill health. The Sonata Boca Raton team expedited everything that was necessary in order to have my father transferred, without delay. EVERYTHING from Sonata Boca Raton was done right, THE 1st TIME!!I want to take this opportunity to thank once again the staff and leadership of Sonata Boca Raton.Regional Director Bryce, has continued to be ALWAYS available to speak with. Meeting Bryce personally over the last year, I can say that Sonata is lucky to have him. Reggie, the present Executive Director in Boca Raton, has always returned my phone calls whenever I wanted to speak with him and has been motivated to make Sonata Boca Raton an even better residence than I already think it is.Nursing Administration, now lead by Jennifer is always ready willing and able to discuss any issue or question that I might have had.ShellyAnn and the Memory Care Staff are amazing. I am so happy that my father was able to reside at Sonata Boca Raton over the last 1 1/2 years and I thank G-D that ALL the staff cared for him. DO NOT HESITATE PLACE YOUR LOVED ONE IN SONATA! END OF UPDATE Let me start this review off by first saying, "Thank God for Sonata Boca Raton!" I can't say enough of the management team and aides, but I will. When all seemed lost last year on caring for my 102 year old Dad, I knew my Dad needed professional care at a Assisted Living/Memory Care location. After touring Sonata Boca Raton, I looked no further for my dad's needs. Management has been incredible in helping to meet my needs.The care shown to me and Dad by Stefanie the Executive Director and Janet the Community Director gave me confidence that Sonata was the facility to relocate my Dad. They are always available to speak with you about any issues, prior to Dad moving in and continuing through his care for the last 8 months.The Wellness Directors, Cora and Jennifer, along with the Nursing Staff, are the most trustworthy people to manage your loved ones. Their recommendations for present are future care have saved me countless nights of not sleeping.The memory Care Director, Shelly Ann cared so much for me and my Dad when I had to move him into the Memory Care Unit that I trust her with my Dad's life. These 5 really professional ladies made my Dad's move into memory care as seamless as possible. I love them all.Finally, when it came to the financial aspects of my Dad's care, Cony Gonzales, the Business Director, was there for me. Cony gave me whatever time was needed to help set up the payment plan including all necessary instructions for automatic debit payments from a checking account. Cony is very punctual in mailing out statements and invoices and has help me tremendously with ANY documentation I need for tax and financial purposes.I also want to include the Dining Room Director, Sharon. There is not a time that I ask for certain foods to be provided to my Dad that she has not accommodated. My Dad gets 3 good meals a day. As an individual who has worked in the medical field for 20 years, I can assure you that THIS management team in Boca Raton is very cohesive in having established themselves as a caring team who takes responsibility regardless of who I speak with. If you love your loved one, look no further.

My sister and I toured other facilities before coming to Sonata... From the moment we walked into your facility, we knew it was the place for Mom. She has been there a year now. Each and everyday we praise Sonata! Nurses and staff are devoted and dedicated... Jennifer Freund has been amazing. Her warmth and caring for our mom and our family has been gratifying. Damaris has gone above and beyond to assist us in the right direction all the time, even during her lunch breaks! Latoya has helped to make us feel comfortable when she is needed to transport mom...Judith has taken time to explain to us the progression of which Mom's disease is taking her.... We are so thankful for having found Sonata and the wonderful staff who take care of her....Thank you all❤️

There's always mixed emotions when placing a family member in Long Term Care. But I couldn't care for my Dad alone anymore. It was too much. Sonata has been a huge relief for me. The care has been excellent. My Dad is very cranky but has nothing but praise for the staff. I can rest easy knowing he's safe. And communication has been excellent. Highly recommend.

My husband lived at Sonata for approximately 10 months. He was first in assisted living area and later had to be transferred to memory care. The care he was given was adequate for the most part. There were a few times when I visited and it was obvious his diaper had not been changed for quite awhile. My biggest disappointment was what happened after he had to be transported to the ER after an apparent stroke. He was in the ER for seven hours, then moved to Trustbridge hospice where he passed away four days later. I had one text during that time from Jennifer saying that she and another staff member would come to see him. They never came nor did I hear another word from anyone at Sonata. When I went to clear out his room a few days after his death not one staff member asked about him or how I was doing. It was apparent that once the money stopped coming in no one at Sonata had any interest in me or my family. So much for empathy or compassion. It's business only, don't expect anything else after your loved one dies.

My mom has lived at Sonata Boca Raton since June of 2022. She refers to it as HOME on a daily basis. From the moment my sisters and I took the tour we knew this was the perfect place for our mom.I see that we made the right choice. Our mom is happy, very well cared for and fed delicious food that is clearly prepared with LOVE.Sonata Boca Raton is spotless clean and beautifully decorated. It just makes you feel instantly HAPPY as you walk through the door. Our mom's room is beautiful and sunny. Our family always receives a huge welcome when we are arrive...it makes us feel like we are part of a BIG, HAPPY family. It is important to mention that Sonata Boca Raton is also a lot of FUN.There is always a party, a lobby activity or live entertainment. We are so happy that our mom has found her perfect home at Sonata Boca Raton. Thank you to everyone who is taking such good care of her!

My mom has been at Sonata for several years and she had actually improved her social skills! I expected her to decline but she is talking more and interacting more than I expected. The staff takes excellent care of her and treats her with respect and dignity. Thank you Sonata for making what could be a traumatic experience for our family a very pleasant and comforting time for all of us.

Five Stars may not be enough for Sonata Boca Raton. Aside from the facility, food and amenities, the staff across the board was a welcome joy. I was visiting over a year ago and came in late missing the dinner hour. No worries, it wasnt that late and a plate was set out, yum! Now Mom is moving in. Shari, director of admissions and Michael, director have answered every question. Management at Sonata is doing something right. In this climate, I have confidence in the professional manner in which Sonata is is prepared for its residents.

My Mother-in-law Roz entered sonata Boca Raton one year ago. She has an advanced case of dementia and was put into the memory care unit. My mother-in-law has improved since arriving at the memory care unit in Sonata. I believe it is because of the wonderful care she is receiving there. David, one of her caretakers treats her like it was it his own mother. David has encouraged my mothers joy and talent for singing playing the piano, & daily exercise. Sonata has brought out the best in my mom. She appears very happy every time I see or speak to her. Theyve gone over and above during this pandemic to make sure that I stay connected to her with weekly weekly Skype calls. And I am able to reach them at any time I need to with any concerns I have and called back in a timely manner.Sonata has exceeded my expectations and I recommend them highly.

My mom needed memory care at 90 years old. I visited several assisted living, memory care facilities in the area and found that the sonata of boca raton is hands down the best run facility with the most experienced and genuinely CARING professional and ancillary staff! Residents and their family members are treated like family and the atmosphere is positive and loving. My mom is extremely well adjusted, cared for, stimulated with age appropriate and fun activities and most importantly treated with kindness, love and respect from every staff member I have ever met there in the 6 months she has been here!

I cannot say enough fabulous things about the care of my mom is receiving at Sonata Boca Raton. She began in the assisted-living side, but has now moved to memory care. And, I feel that she is in fabulous hands and that they are taking unbelievable care of her. Especially at this time of COVID-19, I am completely confident in the care at Sonata. I really think shes in the best shape out of all of us: she has three meals a day, they take care of her daily needs, she has entertainment and activities, doctors and nurses who check on her constantly, and shes been proactively tested for Covid twice (negative). Sonata sends periodic updates on the actions that facility is taking against the virus. They even set up video call visits and window visits for us to see her. I really feel blessed that we found Sonata and chose this place for our mom.

Dad was only there for 5 months, but in that time, I found not only the staff caring and concerned, but the administration attentive and willing to help us when situations arose. For instance, Dad requested to sit and have meals with more men, so they moved him to a different table immediately. I found administration to be fair and honest. The facility was clean and newly renovated, and the inside temperature as well as the atmosphere there pleasant. Sonata of BR is on the smaller side, so it was a great fit for Dad as he got to know many of the other residents. And there were PLENTY of activities and entertainment, including visits from local childrens groups. Dad loved those! For me, I really appreciated being able to bring our dog to visit Dad as well. Last thing, the nurses there (esp Debbie) were great with patients like Dad who needed more care, ensuring his blood sugar was monitored and insulin injections given. That was a big relief and brought peace of mind for Mom.
