Limited, on wheelchair accessibility in kitchen area

The kitchen layout is to small to accommodate handicapped individuals using a wheelchair. Also, the young receptionist at the entrance was not accommodating when I went to visit my friend. I couldn't remember the apt #.

Everything is great just slow service to fix things

Everything is going well - but they really need to improve on the time it takes them to fix things that break. They take a very long time to fix.

Fun at Senior Garfield Ridge Pub

The residents had a great time on Wednesday back in March. The entire office staff gave us St. Patrick's Day necklaces, served us a tasty array of food and beverages and we played some games.

Great for independent living

The people here are amazing. The process took a little longer than we anticipated, but the staff were totally on top of it and made up for it by working harder. They have a lot of great activities provided. This was definitely the best option for independent living in the area. The location also worked out great since it is close to where she does some part time work. The facility is very clean and the staff is friendly and generally always available if she needs anything. It was overall a good experience.

Overall a great experience

Senior Suites community has great staff members, so far I have been very pleased. We used to have activities like bingo and other games but once the pandemic hit everything was shut down. It is expensive but you do get what you pay for. The community and building is nice, and the people are just great. It is a mixed group of people which i can really appreciate. I am so happy they were recommended to me.

A community to call home

This is a nice retirement community for my mom. They do have staff that is available. The grounds are clean and she is happy with the layout in her apartment. They do not have any activities for the residents to participate. This is a nice apartment for someone to call home. We would recommend others who are looking for just a community to live in with out any personal care.

When I was searching for a place, I toured Senior Suites of Garfield Ridge. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. The place was nice, but it was not as appealing as another community that I toured.

I have lived at the Garfield Senior Suites for nine years. Best decision & ever made. The staff is great. We would not get by without them. They are kind, thoughtful and extremely helpful and very hard working people. The best thing about living in a senior community is the friendships you develop. It is the best answer for loneliness.

My Husband And I Are Doing Good

The staff here are so attentive and friendly. I like how clean my community is everywhere I go. I get to take Saturday walks and get access to use the recreation stationary- bicycle. I make our own food in our spacious apartment and I like the way it's set up. I definitely would recommend this place.

Awesome experience

Maggie was my advisor and she was exceptional. She really took time to listen to our dilemma and help us find a place that my mom feels safe and comfortable and is affordable. I would recommend Senior Advisor to anyone who needs help in finding suitable resources for their seniors.

Bed bug heaven

Bed bug heaven. My 90 year old mothers apartment was infested. She lost every thing she owned including all clothing. Other seniors are dealing with this same problem. Management changes hands often and they have no sense of urgency to remedy the problem. My mother loved living there, unfortunate so do the bed bugs.
