Room for Improvement

They are short staffed, it took 2 weeks for the cleaning staff to come in and clean my mom's apartment. They seem to have a lot of activities. The food.......hmmm how do I say this nicely. The menu states one thing and they may or may not have that. Breakfast is most of the time cold, I mean cold eggs, protein so it's very rarely hot. Lunch seems to be OK and dinner seems the best meal. My mom's room size is great, just perfect for her.

The staff were very nice and quite knowledgeable in the community. The apartments we were shown were nice and had been updated. The overall cost seems to match with the other places we toured. The outside has a terrible goose problem with goose poop everywhere, I don't know that anything can be done about that but its there. They seem to provide everything my mom could want or need.

Would recommend. Value for the money.

The company that provides in home services on site is a third party separate from the building management company and is paid separately.

This place sucks. They do not deliver what they promise you. Look on their website it is nothing like they project

This place is gone downhill since January. Why do I need to have more than 200 characters? All I am saying the top management the general manager is not worth anything. Everybody else is good just the general manager is the one that causes all the problems.

Unexpected issues

My parents just moved in and we quickly found out that another company had took over the property. They have moved in a week and a half ago and don’t have the cable hooked up or a mail box key yet. There is also an emergency life alert button that we have not seen yet. The cafeteria staff are very short staffed and it is an hour wait for meals to be served. Some items on the menu are not available . We are hoping things improve with the new change?? They are happy with the apartment. No one has brought towels or sh
