True Connection Communities

These are apartments. You have to access them from outside. The ones on the second floor have hallways with rails and you can use the elevator. So in order to go to the common areas or the office you have to walk outside. There nice spacious apartments but a little bit high in price for what they offer.

Many fun activities planned. [The] facility is clean, nicely decorated and well maintained. Maintenance staff is slow to respond to residents requests. Need to get nurse back they fired.

The furnishings in the rooms seemed outdated. The rooms were smaller than at the community we chose. The community did not seem as well cared for as other communities in the area. The grounds were nice and the staff were friendly.

My mother moved here recently and she is becoming acclimated. The staff has done a very good job of welcoming her and are very friendly.They could do a better job at breakfast.Sometimes the food is skimpy and they could offer more variety. Also, the existing residents should be more welcoming and encouraging to the newer residents. Sometimes my mom will go down to eat and can't find a seat because people have "reserved" them.

My husband and I have been at meadowstone less than a year. When we first came here, we really liked it. This is the 8 things that have happened that has changed our minds: 1) first, rates were increased......on rent, food, and housekeeping. ...ok that usually happens. 2) Next we had a very hard-of-hearing neighbor upstairs that put her TV on the loudest setting, and would not use her hesring aids...we reported it several times, and were told by the office that she would be spoken to. When we asked, when it continued, that she was hard of hearing, and that they certainly couldn't make her move....we never said anything about her moving, just that the noise level was extremely loud. She finally moved out. 3) then we were flooded by the neighbor beside us....maintenance told us that the man had admitted to leaving his shower running for about 30 minutes. There was lots of water, and hard on us having to move stuff out of the flooded area, which was an inconvenience. 4) One week later, it happened AGAIN...same neighbor, same story. This caused a lot of frustration, because NO one wanted to assume any responsibility for damage done. Most of the items that we had were in plastic, but an expensive sheepskin rug got wet, and began to mold, the cleaning bill was $101.++. It would be nice to be reimbursed for that. 5) The second time that we called, we left a message that it didn't appear to be as bad as the week beofre and it was a holiday on monday, so we expected to have maintenance on tuesday. Well, I was just getting out of the shower on saturday morning, when I heard someone coming into my apartment. Since I had understood that no one would come in while we were not home, not answering the door, I was very surprised to open my bedroom door a couple of inches, and find a strange man that was NOT one of our regular maintenance guys, right there...on his way into my bedroom/bathroom!. I was frightened and upset. I did not get any communication from the office, until I called to let management know that I was scared and upset several days later. I have not talked with a single person who said that they would not have been frightened! 6)Next, since we have the doctor visit us here at the complex, which is a great convenience, I had been in the room with my doctor for about ten minutes, the door was opened wide and a member of management asked if he was ready for the next one....she had a person who did not live here and her DIL. I was speechless! That is a violation of privacy! I would never, ever walk in on a doctor-patient, and quite frankly, don't know anyone who would! I called main office, twice! And left messages, and never received a phone call back. I had decided to not write a review, 7) but Friday, October 14, we had a flooded bathroom from faulty plumbing upstairs. This caused the linens in the closet to get wet along with bath rugs...pretty agravating when they had to cut a big hole in the bathroom ceiling to get to the faulty part...the ruined sheetrock that came down was black...black as tar...which says that there had been leaking for a long time to be that black. 8) my cabinets in the kitchen also had several places that did not get painted, and the fiberboard under the counter top was flaking off in splinters, and the cabinet doors were not closing properly. ( they still don't). The guys that fixed this problem did a good job. In conversations with friends and neighbors, we are being told that there is a lot of problems here....no hot water, no water pressure, etc. But, we do have really nice landscaping! I hate having to put this, but you said you wanted honesty, and this is all true. I have pictures, and will gladly answer any questions that you might have.

Looks very promising. I am only interested in independent living, if there is a smooth transition to memory care under the same facility. Toward the end of July, I will schedule a day for touring 2-3 facilities.

Pine Ridge is a nice enough place, in terms of the facility itself and the attitudes of the staff. The staff is friendly and they do a good job keeping things looking clean and well kept. One issue families might want to look out for is that this community can be difficult to navigate for anyone who has any mobility issues. Getting to and from your room can be a problem.

We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The Phoenix at Delray seemed like a nice enough place, but I don't think it was the best fit for our loved one. It was a large facility and I think it would have been too much for her to navigate. They were also in the middle of renovations when we toured, so it's hard to say how those will turn out.

I am little disappointed in this community. They are really good at selling the place, but not so good at helping you know if they can handle your needs. We had a big accident first day there and they still haven't followed up on taking care of our needs. I was also told they had a mentor system and this I still haven't seen. We may have to move somewhere else if our needs become more serious. I also listened to my mother's wants more than her needs. This is a very stressful event and everyone needs to be very careful want you are seeing and doing during this time

A Nice place but too expensive.

Not the type of housing we want. Too much of an investment.

OK, apartments were old and not very impressive. I did like the 2 meal plan. Assistance was by a home health care company.

Very nice apratment available. Assistance costs lower than some. Pull cored are usless, they need to upgrade to emergency buttons.

$2800 and we didn't like. It is a former hospital.

One we really liked but the ability to accommodate different levels of care concerns my family.

Apartment style living only - looking to downsize living space. Declined invitation to visit.

Since new ownership, the quality of services and niceities has gone down drastically. -My family member was without transportation for almost a week because the bus was being serviced and no other transportation was provided. Residents were told that transportation is an amenity and Meadowstone doesn’t really HAVE to provide it. The expectation was that residents with cars would drive those who needed transportation. - There is no longer a served lunch on Saturdays (when there is no complimentary breakfasts as on M-F), so people who want lunch have to order takeout (which is sad for those who have very little social time except at meals.) They can choose to eat in the Club House, but have to get their own plastic utensils and drinks. - The snacks provided when activities are happening are now prepackaged Hostess cupcakes, cookies, egg salad sandwiches dripping with mayo, or other unhealthy choices, IF they are supplied at all anymore. Very disappointing indeed.

Moved in [date removed]. Reported problem with my a/c. Still hasn’t been fixed. They use strange light bulbs and are supposed to replace them when they burn out. I reported two of them out. They only replaced one. From the first month and $[removed]water bill, I asked about a possible problem. They sent someone to check was told there was no problem. It was just the average water bill for the area. In Sept. I found a problem with my toilet. I had never heard water running. The a/c is in the bathroom and makes so much noise that you can’t hear anything. They said they fixed it. They didn’t. But I turn it off unless I’m flushing. This month the water bill was $[removed]. That’s about $ [removed]extra a month for nine months. They said they were not responsible. Stay away Far away. And I didn’t even mention the van that takes us around.

The apartment looks nice but there are things that should not exist. 1: When I first moved in if something was wrong maintenance would handle it now it’s an act of Congress to get anything done. 2. There are rats if they are mice they're big, I have reported this and no response. 3. The residents are racist when I attend activities (only attended 2) I was treated like I don't belong. One lady told me with a giggle you see that the pool exercise has stopped ever since you came to the water aerobics, haha as she is touching my arm. I didn't find it funny. 4. It’s been different than what it was when I came to tour. I don't even want to go out at night due to the rat/mice siting. Staff is nice and maintenance is nice.

I was offered and scheduled for a tour, but upon my arrival I was told they didn’t have anything to show me.
