As a 24-hour community dedicated to supporting our seniors, I understand that certain departments such as the Business Office and Concierge have designated operating hours. However, resident care and communication needs do not stop after those hours, and neither should our responsiveness.<br><br>Recently, I called the community and allowed the phone to ring for approximately two minutes without an answer. When I called back, the phone rang for nearly four minutes before I was able to get someone’s attention by seeing a team member pass by the entrance.<br><br>This level of response is concerning and does not align with the service standards our residents, families, and visitors deserve. When the concierge is unavailable, there should be a clear chain of command in place to ensure calls are answered promptly, whether by nursing staff or another designated team member.<br><br>I respectfully ask that leadership review the current process and implement a solution to ensure incoming calls and visitors receive timely assistance. Providing exceptional service is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of department or shift.

I am a current resident of Sellecks Woods.<br><br>I really loved Alex’s music choice and exercise class. She is always high energy and a lot of fun. She is an asset to Sellecks woods!<br><br>Mavel our engagement director creates very interesting classes and exercise programs for us.<br><br>Anthony one of our chefs/servers always knows my allergies and restrictions and they know exactly what to do when I order something. This is one of my favorite parts of living here.

Anthony Davis just cooked the best swordfish lunch at the Bistro today, and I’m a fussy off the boat and just grill with a touch of butter girl - so he scored big Tim !!!!
