Review

Rodney Court, a building that serves as both an apartment complex and a senior living facility, has garnered mixed reviews from its residents. One individual recounts their negative experience, stating that they eagerly moved out of the building as soon as possible due to several issues. Firstly, despite being informed that dogs were not allowed in the apartments, a large dog was subsequently welcomed into a neighboring unit. The constant barking and the owner's failure to leash their pet caused fear and unease among this resident. Additionally, the electric bill during summer months soared to an exorbitant $200 per month, leaving them dissatisfied with the cost-efficiency of their living situation.

Furthermore, the cleanliness of Rodney Court left much to be desired according to this particular occupant. Not only was the place filthy overall, but even communal areas like the day room were often locked, depriving tenants of access. Another concern raised by this reviewer was the lack of security measures such as window screens, which resulted in birds and bats finding their way into the hallways through open windows. The maintenance team seemed ill-equipped as well; when a shade fell off a ceiling fixture, they did not possess a tall enough ladder to rectify the situation promptly.

These negative aspects eventually led this resident to decide it was time to move on. Witnessing an elderly tenant carelessly discard used tissues in common areas made them question the cleanliness standards even further. It became clear that Rodney Court harbored various problems not readily apparent to those considering placing their elderly loved ones there.

Contrasting this account is another review from an individual who found Rodney Court exceptional and worthy of praise. They acknowledge that while it may not be entirely free to reside there, compared to where their parents came from initially, this place feels like a palace. They highlight how activities are advertised through elevator notices but attending such events is ultimately at each person's discretion.

Despite referring to themselves as private individuals who do not often partake in the activities, this reviewer notes that their parents thoroughly enjoy living at Rodney Court. Additionally, they emphasize that the facility lacks on-site doctors and residents generally manage their medical needs independently.

Shifting focus to the physical structure of Rodney Court, one occupant describes it as more reminiscent of a home than a typical senior living facility. However, they do mention some shortcomings such as small rooms and confined bathrooms. Nevertheless, the staff at Rodney Court are recognized for their kindness, providing an overall positive experience for this particular individual.

In conclusion, Rodney Court appears to elicit mixed reactions from its residents. Some express dissatisfaction with issues ranging from false information about pet policies to high electric bills and cleanliness problems. However, others appreciate the provided amenities and consider the facility a step up from previous living arrangements. While there are areas that can be improved upon, such as room size and bathroom space, positive interactions with the staff contribute to a more favorable experience for some residents.
