Yes, the services, facilities, and food are all very good; but Id like to focus on the people first. Embark has a team of caring, compassionate and competent staff members. My Mother is a resident and she does need some extra care - so we have used their Here For You service. We know that this time period is very challenging and since the staff members represent the majority of the residents personal interactions, knowing they are being cared for by people with friendly attitudes and caring dispositions is so important to family members. The facility is always clean when we visit - and the team does a great job of communication. They are very responsive when we reach out to ask questions and that is very important to us. My mother also comments about how the food is always good. She is able to choose her menu and they have done a great job of providing meal services while also keeping the safety of the residents a top priority. I would highly recommend Embark at Niles.

This review is being written for a friend who is not as computer savvy as she wanted to be to review Embark. My father has enjoyed his life at Embark at Niles for four years now. The staff is friendly, caring and professional. They are attentive to his needs and always make sure his is comfortable. He considers the staff an extension of his family and we feel the same.

The Embark service and taking care of all the residence is outstanding. It is such a relief to know that our Mother is in such great care and watching over her. Thank you so much for what the Embark team does everyday. Thank you.

Embark at Niles is an excellent senior living community. The entire staff including the dining room, front reception, housekeeping, and office staff all do a great job, They are friendly and do whatever they can to help the residents. Also, the food is good, the apartments are nice, the facilities are well maintained and the entertainment and activities (prior to Covid) are excellent. My dad has lived at Embark for 3 years and we are all happy with our decision.

In August of 2016 my 99 year old Mother was forced to move out of her beloved condo. Medicare allowed me 24 hours to permanently move her to a new facility. Embark is the best decision Ive ever made for my Mother. Throughout those years what stated out as independent living for Mom rapidly changed. Her mobility and memory declined and her needs vastly increased to todays state of total dependence. Along the way Marie Gurnik, Embarks Executive Director, and her staff has been second to none. Deirdre Alcantara, Embarks Administrator & Resident Services Director, has personally watched over and provided such a heartfelt support that I would have been totally lost without her guidance and all supports she has provided for Mom throughout these years. She personally insured that my Mothers care needs were met on a continual basis as her independence and health declined. I also would be very remiss if I did not single out the steadfast support of Mary Cole, RN Embarks Health & Wellness Coordinator. She has continually insured that my Mother receive the best medical services, totally coordinated with Moms doctor and been a guardian angel continually watching over her. There is no other place my Mothers life would have flourished over these last 4½ roller-coaster years. My whole family is so grateful to the entire Embark staff.

I have been part of the Embark at Niles community for a few years now and I am very pleased with my experience here. The staff is extremely friendly and they always answer our questions. I love the events, programs, and outings that are planned for us by the Healthy Lifestyle Department. The dining manager makes me feel special, the other day he made a special banana foster dessert, which was delicious.

My mom has been a resident at Embark for 1 1, 2 years. It has been the best decision for her to move there, and she is very happy there. She has a great apartment which include meals. The al carte service such as Here For You is great. The on site therapy does a great job. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Embark at Niles has been a great community for me to live in. The staff here is amazing, they go out of their way to make my life as comfortable and easy. I feel welcomed every day, the staff at the reception desk always greet me with a smile and they know my name. The featured Here For You team is an asset to the community...if we need a little help with our daily activities the Here For You team is available for me to use. Food is great, especially the Sunday Brunch! The programs accommodate many interests with cultural presentations, music and dance performances, on weekends the community usually has live entertainment. We learn something new everyday and I feel like I am part of a lively community.

It was time and we wanted my aunt to be nearby so we could care for her, but she was in Louisiana and did not want to move. We finally convinced her to just visit before making her final decision and we had been so impressed (unbeknownst to her) with Embark at Niles that we had already left a deposit. She came to visit, we showed her a few places and the best was yet to come! Not only did she overwhelmingly choose Embark at Niles from her first impression (just like we did), but she moved in almost immediately. She loves it and has made so many friends....everyone was very friendly and they really embrace new residents. In fact, they assign a welcoming guide current resident to each new resident to ensure a welcoming experience. My aunt made new friends quickly and is very happy! The facilities are outstanding, especially for the current times and the winter months in our climate.....the individual apartments are all adjacent to the large atrium that provides an outdoor feeling because of the openness and spacious atmosphere. This atrium allows a view of the lobby and dining room from every floor and the frequent music events, performances, activities are still possible with social distancing because the residents can enjoy from all their balconies surrounding the atrium. This atrium not only provides a welcoming openness that is needed during these times, but it serves as a huge plus during winter months as residents can still walk (as if they were exercising outdoors) around while enjoying the view and activities below......a very unique benefit not available in most senior living environments. The dining room is very high quality and another social opportunity that helps residents stay engaged. One of my aunts biggest concerns was her strict diet and they were able to accommodate her needs with the variety and choices available. And now, during this social distancing period, they are even delivering meals to each apartment! One of the most difficult obstacles in this stage of life is avoiding the transition issues and isolation that can result from a move like this. Embark at Niles is uniquely qualified to keep our loved ones engaged, avoid feeling claustrophobic and providing additional years of engaging fulfillment in their lives! The management team and their staff exemplify all of the above as they are the ones providing these ongoing benefits.....not to mention, they have a remarkable track record of keeping everyone healthy during this crazy virus experience. This is an independent living facility, but you will always get support. Embark at Niles is a beautiful place for our loved ones......highly recommended as an independent living community!

I am very happy to be here at Embark at Niles. I have been here for over three and a half years. My favorite every day event is the exercise classes and improvisation. I feel I am very much part of the community. Ive learned a lot and having my friend Richard move in is a real joy. The community has been welcoming and people are friendly. Overall it has been a very positive experience.

I cannot say enough great things about how the management and employees have handled the COVID-19 crisis in a senior building. Every decision made was in the best interest and for the well being of their residents. I am the daughter of a resident that will be 100 years old and living independently at Embark. I was totally frightened about my Mom being there alone. But my fears were quickly mitigated with the correspondence and extra precautions quickly from Marie Gurnik-Executive Director, put into place to protect their fragile residents. IT ALL WORKED, as the building is safe and COVID free. The entire staff has been superb. I highly recommend Embark for your senior loved one. My Mom and the whole family are so grateful for them!!!!

My aunt has lived in the bldg for the last 4 years. Its been a VERY positive experience throughout the years. This even includes thru the transition from Brookdale. The new ownership was smart to retain key personnel. I have had the food there several times and have actually been VERY PLEASANTLY surprised and Im picky when it comes to my food! The recreation staff are always genuinely courteous and caring. During this Covid crisis, they have been STRICT and wisely so. New residents are being carefully quarantined. Prices are reasonable and no buy-ins. Theres nice views in virtually every direction and apartments are ample in size. Its a deal-come check it out!

Most of us came here from homes or condos. It is a new way of living and difficult at first to get used to, but if you join in the activities you will make new friends and learn to enjoy your new home. Dont be hesitant to try new things and have fun in a new way. Your life here is what you make it and you can have a good rewarding life and not be isolated. Embark has many good people in the community and the staff is outstanding. Living in this community allows you to be the best you can be! I am glad I am part of this community. Cindy Florsheim.

My Father in law has been living there for the last year and half. Honestly, its the best. He absolutely loves the community and the staff. The meals are great and the amenities are perfect for his needs. Hes still independent but we have the peace of mind, knowing that if an issue should ever arise hell be tended to immediately and with care. He is especially grateful for the staffs honesty. On two separate occasions he left money in his pants, after having them sent for laundry service. Both times, they delivered the clothing back as well as the money. That is seldom seen nowadays and its comforting to know that he wont be taken advantage of even if the opportunity presents itself. Thank you Embark.

I have lived in this building, Embark at Niles for more than 15 years. I am happy with all that the community offers. They have excellent activities with varied programs such as discussion groups, movies, monthly birthday celebrations, unique and interesting outings, great religious services above and beyond services for residents. We have the best visiting library and a convenient beauty salon on premises. The staff is excellent, always helpful with immediate answers and information. The community has good transportation and a wonderful driver who is accommodative and attentive. I am happy living here! Ann
