  I will not recommend this location. The website indicates supportive environment, but what I witnessed, raised serious concerns. An elderly resident with an obvious physical impairment was denied permission for a non-resident to help carry his belongings upstairs, even after it was explained that he has cancer. Denying basic assistance in a situation like this shows a troubling lack of compassion and regard for safety, especially for vulnerable people. If residents with serious health conditions are not supported in such basic needs, it calls into question the standards of care and judgment of staff, management, concerns if others require assistance will they be unassited. I hope this doesn't happen again.

  I cannot recommend bringing children here. The website presents this as a safe, family-friendly environment, but that was not our experience. My children and I were appalled by how staff treated an elderly resident with an obvious physical disability affecting his arm and mobility. He was denied permission for a non-resident to help carry his belongings upstairs, which raised serious concerns about both safety and basic compassion. The non resident man informed the ill mannered woman that the man he was assisting had cancer. Who denies a cancer patient assistance ? It was upsetting for my children to witness this lack of empathy, and they immediately asked not to be left there. Situations like this are not only unsafe for vulnerable residents but also send the wrong message to families. The YMCA should take responsibility and ensure its housing management demonstrates greater care and respect for individuals with severe disabilities—denying reasonable assistance could lead to preventable harm. If elderly disabled residents are not safe who is? Not our impressionable young children, and we certainly do not wish to leave our children in places to learn such behaviors.
