reviewed on: 06/09/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerNot really all that close to the mall off 15th. Like the 'income qualified' apts - maybe discount? Anytime dining great too. Facilities nice. Same color scene every location. All utilities but phone included in rent. Other locations may be a better fit.
The Atmosphere
reviewed on: 07/21/2017 by AnonymousThe person who showed us around, she was fantastic and a wonderful representative. However the community had had an old person smell and a depressing feeling. It was more like an institutional environment.
My husbands need
reviewed on: 09/13/2017 by AnonymousI liked this tour of the community for the needs of my husbands care. The staff were friendly and answered the questions that we had. The community environment was nice and positive. We liked the menu and the list of activities that are offered. We would have liked this community for care if they were able to meet our needs.
November '16 review
reviewed on: 11/28/2016 by letarosetreeI'm 77; when I moved here, I didn't expect much different from two other retirement/assisted places. Here it's an old, very clean building, one elevator for four floors. Many people seem to have physical or mental disabilities. Though cultural and food/health allergies to pork are common, I was told it's not the kitchen that puts pork in soups and foods, it's the distributors used by this facility... pork is not always noted when present, in the menu; it definitely needs to be for health/religious reasons. The dining area is very clean, though noisy: carpet has been replaced with hard, attractive flooring. The living room TV is often on so loud some residents won't go there , would like more quiet space and activities; they seem to sign up for these as soon as available and posted. This is changing and we are hoping for more.

reviewed on: 10/02/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerRooms are large. Building is older and has been converted from an existing apartment building, therefore, the rooms are larger than the rooms at Spring Estates but amenities are also dated compared to SE. Price takes that into consideration as it is more affordable. May be right if her finances do not allow any place else just based on size of rooms to allow for her bed.
