Resident & family reviews
I have lived here for 2 years. I have had trouble with unreasonable
roommates who wish to play the TV all night long, while they are asleep
and while I can't sleep. Sometimes they want to leave the lights on,
again while they sleep and I try to. One roommate left cigarette butts
around the room. There is a covered smoking area and it alarmed me that
she MIGHT have smoked in our room. Synthetic fibers are found
everywhere, which means even one spark could start a flash fire. When I
went to management they asked me if I had actually seen my RM smoking
and I said no. However, after that question they were dismissive of my
report and did absolutely NOTHING about the smoking question. I was
only concerned with the sick and immobile residents here.
This very same RM was violent and had punched her last RM in the eye
and down the check with a very, very nasty black eye. She had a deep
purple bruise from her brow to edge of her mouth. No punishment for
that. Don't these people have any common sense, let alone degrees and
certificates?? This RM had also been kicked out once even before the
black eye incident. Why did they let her back in and why was I left
with 2 different violent RM in a row?
On the good side, they have a homey feeling and reasonable rates. They
have a great location just behind a strip mall with Publix, Radio
Shack, a Hallmark store, a nail salon and other nice stores like The
Dollar Store and Big Lots. So, do yourself a favor and fork over the
extra money for a private room. Well worth it
They have a van but they broke their word that they would be able to
transport both regular wheelchairs and power chairs. As I can't push
myself thru some stores I am limited to Walmart since they do have
power carts of their own. What a pain! Promises, Promises...
