Would not recommend

My mother has had money taken from her apartment. Security is poor, they've cut the nursing staff to bare bones. The food quality is poor and they frequently run out of choices and the portions are small. My mother frequently leaves the dining table still hungry. Activities are virtually non-existent. Is it very depressing place to visit and a very depressing and unsafe place to live.

Not our 1st choice

The Fort Armstrong was not our 1st choice for our mother. We had other options for her, but the timing didn't work out. It's not the kind of the facility that I would have wished for her to be. It's in desperate need of renovation. It's dark and dreary.

Great

[name removed] the social director has helped me out a lot. [name removed] also is doing a great job running the building and helping all of us with what we need. The fort is a very nice place and the staff is really good to us.

I have lived at The Fort Armstrong for almost 5 years and do not regret my choice in moving here. I enjoy the live music and outings we go on.

If I have to be in assisted living the Fort Armstrong is a good place to be. While The Fort has flaws the entire staff work hard to keep things running smooth. The administrative staff have been committed to the residents. The nursing staff deserve a commendation. It is a great comfort to me; now more then ever.

All lies

My mom has been there for 3 years and the rent goes up and they don’t get what is promised to her and her friends,the food is no good and the cleaning staff don’t do their job.now they r taking away internet and the price is still the same. She exsprest her words and the owner says if you don’t like it move. The nurses are wonderful but there is no nurse for 3rd shift. I can keep going on about bad things there but hopefully this is enough.
