Friendly and Inclusive Community
Opal by Element is a very friendly and inclusive community. Within a month, everybody in the building knew my loved one's name as far as staff goes. They make an effort to engage. The apartment is beautiful. and well appointed for intendent living. It has the full amenities that you would expect in a stand alone apartment. Overall it has been a positive experience.

Opal really is the best.
You certainly get what you pay for and with Opal, they seem to have all the bases covered. We were one of the first families to move into Opal when they opened. The facility is bright, spacious, and impeccably clean. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and fast to respond in an emergency. My father-in-law transitioned with ease and Opal was right there coaching and supporting us while we worked to convince him it was time. - - - My Father-in-law is in the Licensed Care facility of Opal and it is secure, safe, and only visitors who have been approved may take him from the facility.

Excellent presentation and friendly reception, but can't feel the atmosphere of actual physical building and surrounding because the construction is in progress.

I had a tour at the display center. I was greeted promptly and was shown in detail the blueprint of the buildings. There was a show unit. The design is for seniors, wide doors for wheel chair access - so is the bathroom, the shower stall entrance is flushed - wheelchair accessible to the shower. Their concept is good, with rental,self own and long term care units. The concept & design are on the high end side, you get what you paid for.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Opal by Element

Opal by Element offers Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Opal by Element 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
