Our family's experience

[name removed] was amazing! He showed us around and was very thorough. They had so many amenities. A pool, game room, theater room, a little salon, live music on Fridays, and so much more! There 1 bedroom room size was much bigger than other places we visited. It felt like home, and my Father in law loves it! They do church on Sunday's and my Father in law loves being able to go to church again.

Very informative

[name removed] was very kind and provided a detailed explanation of the facility, daily events, and costs involved. He also showed us around, offering more insight as to the day to day operations and condition of the rooms and facilities.

Madison Estates experience

Madison is probably a 6 out of 10 Pricing went up 5% and food is not that good. They are doing a lot of repairs and maintenance, Repainting and fixing the outer walls and roof. Over all good but if other facilities were at the same cost I would be searching to move her.

A Ripoff

I left because a house keeper took my wife's Rolex watch. I could not get any cooperation from the director. I left very unhappy and I will not recommend Madison's to anyone.

Mom's first time on her own

There was a change in management within a month of my mother moving in which has affected the cost of a few services but overall it's still affordable and she likes it. The updates being made to the complex are looking good. The food menu offers a wide variety during the week and even if that day's meal isn't to one's liking, there is an alternate "always available" menu of foods. There are also plenty of activities to keep busy if one wants and the staff has been very friendly and helpful.

A Friendly Place to Live

They are very available, helpful and friendly. My family member enjoyed visiting with everyone. They all knew her by name and made her smile. A family feel is what you get without the crazy.

Very friendly and personable. Although if you ask for something like a fan in the laundry facility it probably won't get done. A new management co is taking over and remodeling so emphasis is on that right now. There are some apartments available

For the area price is reasonable. Recommend to those who are looking for best accommodations for the price oriented.

Genuinely Hospitable and Caring to Seniors

New management is problematic. Great location, especially close to several hospitals, ER's, all types of medical providers, eateries and shopping. Also not in a flood zone, offers covered parking at very reasonable price, allows pets, and is relatively close to the airport. It is a community for seniors that can live independently as well with assistance somewhat. Many residents use assistive devices such as canes, walkers, rollators, wheelchairs and even scooters. Residents requiring assistance with adls are allowed to hire external caregivers. It's a great community to age in because all the employees, no matter their pecking order, genuinely care about the residents and our individual asks.

beautiful community

It is a beautiful property. The other residents are very kind and welcoming. My grandma loves the faith community there, they have weekly Bible study and church service. For what she is paying, Madison Estates has far exceeded all expectations!

Nice independent living close to Medical Center

Under new ownership, they are increasing the menu items, sprucing up the place. I would recommend to others.

Not as great as promised, watch the billing!

The staff other than 1 admin, are all wonderful and kind. But the lady in admin never gets back to you in a timely manner. The food here is also very bad, especially for the cost of this place. While maintenance is kind, they still have not resolved a few issues I brought up over two weeks ago.

My parents were able to get the apartment they wanted and are thoroughly happy. Great place with people who care. I was impressed from the very beginning when we walked in and saw the Director on her knees scrubbing the lobby floor.

Keeps Mom Busy

All I know is My mom hates the food there. We are not sure if we would recommend the community to others. Some days she seems to love it. Some days all she does is complain.

Has room for improvement.

[name removed] does not participate much in activities. I visited with [name removed] yesterday and she tells me that food is good. She likes using transportation, she does not participate in activities. She wishes she did not have to move but cannot afford the rent and fees at higher rates. I am worried about her and also wish she did not have to move.
