    Review

    In a detailed account of their experiences, the writer paints a stark portrait of Page Manor, describing it as a building run by a manager who shows little respect for the elderly or disabled. The core accusation is that the management operates in a way that feels imprisoning - a prison-like atmosphere that strips residents of dignity and autonomy rather than supporting them. The language used underscores a deep sense of frustration and disappointment: a place that should provide safety and comfort is instead depicted as controlling and inhospitable.

    The writer emphasizes that the attitude and conditions within the building are unacceptable. They explicitly state, "I DID NOT enjoy attitude and conditions," signaling not just a complaint about inconveniences but a broader grievance about how residents are treated on a daily basis. This sentiment is reinforced by a sense that staff behavior reflects a systemic issue rather than isolated incidents. The narrator's disappointment extends beyond a single bad encounter to a broader perception of disrespect and indifference among those who are supposed to manage and serve the residents.

    A particularly troubling incident centers on the office staff, whom the writer describes as shocking. The review implies a breakdown in communication, empathy, and professionalism that would be especially jarring for residents who may already be vulnerable due to age or disability. The tone indicates that concerns are not taken seriously, questions are not answered satisfactorily, and the standard of service falls far short of what one would expect in a living environment that houses elderly and disabled individuals. The complaint about the office staff serves as a microcosm of the larger dissatisfaction with how the building is run.

    At the heart of the narrative is a painful episode involving the writer's husband's grandmother, a 76-year-old woman who reportedly was forced to move all of her belongings to a different location so the building could spray. The description raises urgent questions about consent, safety, and the treatment of a resident who is advanced in age and facing the complexities of aging. The grandmother's age is underscored to highlight her vulnerability, and the phrase "so they can spray" suggests pest control or other maintenance procedures that disrupted her living space. The account conveys the upheaval such an event caused, especially given the winter season and the grandmother's need to care for three pets, which complicates any attempt to relocate temporarily.

    The review emphasizes the practical and emotional burden placed on the elderly resident and her family. It is stated that she was fully financially responsible for moving, storage, and arranging people to help her, including a truck. This detail underscores a perception of unfairness and neglect - residents should not bear the cost of management's operational needs, especially when those needs involve disturbing someone's home and routine. The writer's emphasis on financial responsibility highlights a broader critique: that the burden of such disruptions falls squarely on residents rather than on the management team that initiated or approved them.

    The narrator's sarcasm about the supposed competence of Page Manor's workers intensifies the critique. Phrases that read as a biting acknowledgment of the situation - "What a joke. Page Manor good workers." - signal a deep-seated skepticism about the quality of the staff and their ability to handle routine, everyday concerns with competence and compassion. The tone communicates disappointment not just in isolated mistakes but in a pattern of behavior that the reviewer believes is unworthy of a residential community for elders and disabled individuals.

    Ultimately, the writer urges accountability and reform. "Something has to be done," they insist, and they allude to a broader list of issues that they feel require attention. The closing sentiment conveys a sense of urgency and exasperation, suggesting that the problems at Page Manor are not only ongoing but extensive, affecting multiple facets of life for residents and their families. The message is a plea for recognition, action, and real improvements, grounded in the experience of aging residents and the responsibilities of those who manage an apartment building. The reviewer's concluding stance - clarifying that this is indeed about an apartment building and their reluctance to engage with irrelevant questions - leaves the impression of a call to take these concerns seriously and address the underlying shortcomings.
