The Madison is a very nice place. I was impressed with all facets of the organization. People are very friendly and very professional at the same time. I am still looking at other facility's, but the Madison is certainly on my short list.

I had a very enjoyable tour with [name removed] and his Director. The facility is clean. The one bedroom apartment was more spacious than I expected. Definitely liked the kitchen area. I would recommend this facility to anyone asking for recommendations.

This is the best place I have seen in my search for a memory care situation for my loved one. [name removed]is total knowledge and energy. Up front information about charges, extras, all costs, no hidden fees, very straight forward. Very up to date security and safety devices and policy. Very impressive!! And the food was good as well.

Review for The Madison Senior Living

The initial tour was good, and they painted a pretty picture. Then we moved my sister in and reality set in. Madison made too many promises they couldn't keep. I'm not saying anything is bad, but should do a better job of not promising the moon when they should know better.

Response from the community

We never want families to feel that promises were made that could not be fulfilled, and your comments help us improve how we communicate and support residents and their loved ones. If you’re willing, we encourage you to contact the Executive Assistant to the CEO at 1-800-983-8876 ext. 8960 to share additional details so we can better understand your experience. This helps ensure concerns are reviewed thoroughly and addressed appropriately. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.

Our experience

I would give them 5's for everything for their memory care facility. They have been great. What we like the most about the community is that they've been very patient with my mom as she settles into this new place, and they've also been very responsive in terms of sharing information with us about how she's doing.
