Not worthy of even 1 star. I'm not sure I can list all the issues I have with this location and their independent living. Start with them taking several weeks to get the apartment ready for move in and accomplish all the things we were promised that would be completed in the apartment when initial paperwork was signed. Started moving my mom's belongings into the apartment before they had completed work and 1 week later, several of the items were missing. It took 3 weeks to get carpet replaced on the patio. Several weeks to install the washer/dryer that were supposed to be included. My mom lived there for 3 days before she got her emergency necklace, not to mention she requested a wristband. None were available. She was promised a free salon visit based on a giveaway they were having, never received the coupon. Cleaning is supposed to be done every other week. Even though they claimed it was done, I could see there was no trash emptied, no vacuuming done and sheets were not laundered as they promised.
MOST ATROCIOUS incident was when their staff did painting on two lower walls in one of the hallways that is at a slight incline. In their infinite wisdom, in a facility with older people walking slowly, using walkers, using canes and other assistance, they decided to put plastic on the floor on both sides of the hallway leaving a narrow path between the 2 pieces of plastic no more than 2 feet wide. 5 days into living at the facility, my mom fell trying to avoid the plastic and broke her pelvis in 2 places. Needless to say, this event caused by their complete failure to provide a safe place for residents, has changed her life and her family's life forever. Because of this, she can no longer live independently. The manager of the facility, Robin, trying to be considerate, said she would not hold us to the 30 day notice required in the contract. WOW However, told me I only had until the end of the month to remove all of my mom's belongings. That meant 15 days to move everything from a one bedroom apartment back to her house in the midst of mom being in the hospital and rehab.
I would never recommend this facility.
