Residents describe an on-site medical care facility and regular nursing involvement.
Some residents mention that the community has a medical care facility on site. Others talk about nursing staff and describe communication challenges, which affects how well care feels in practice.
Residents value living among a large Deaf community.
Several residents describe the community as made up mostly of Deaf or hard-of-hearing older adults. A few specifically point to the Deaf community as the best part of the place, including social fit. At the same time, at least one reviewer connects the community setting to care concerns, saying it is not meeting expectations for Deaf residents.
Reviews raise concerns about sign-language support and staff communication.
One reviewer says staff were not trained to use sign language and that communication was difficult for a Deaf parent. Another reviewer describes a more practical accommodation, noting that a phone was installed for a hearing-impaired person.
Some residents report serious cleanliness and pest problems.
Multiple reviews mention bed bugs, and one reviewer also cites roaches and break-ins. One resident counters with a different experience, saying issues like bed bugs were handled once they were reported, but other accounts describe ongoing or severe impact. This contrast shows that cleanliness outcomes are not consistent across reviews.
At least two reviews say they struggled to reach the office.
Some reviewers report that calls would not get through and that voicemail or answering systems were not working properly. Another review specifically asks administrators to clean up answering machines so businesses can leave messages, suggesting responsiveness is a recurring problem for some families.
Several reviews highlight affordable, subsidized rent options.
One reviewer says they chose the community for low-income budgeting. Another notes that apartments are listed as government subsidized, including HUD Section 8, and explains that there are different options across the two sides of the property. A separate review mentions paying a percentage of rent if you are on the program, reinforcing that affordability is a frequent point in reviews.
