PositiveI was invited by my client (a resident) who said it was going to be a talent show. I attended on Friday with no expectations. I was really surprised. The performance was lovely.

The servicers handling the refreshments were wonderful also. I thanked my client for inviting me.

PositiveThe staff is excellent. When I first came [Name Removed] greeted me with the biggest smile. She took me on a tour the resident greeted me which I was so surprised how friendly everyone is. I was also greeted by the property manager [Name Remvoed], who was very nice who also greeted me with a big smile.

PositiveThe office staff was very helpful and friendly from the beginning. They have made my mom feel very comfortable there and they help with getting her involved in the activities. The activities director keeps me updated of the activities and when my mom participates and she encourages her to be involved. They have been a great help since the move in. The other residents have been friendly as well.

The fence that surrounds the complex has 5ft panels north and south of the (unguarded entry) at least 6 or missing, people walking down Franklin rd just walk right in through open gaps, where they goes, who knows. I come home after and am not comfortable. Some tenants have no pride in where we liv…
