The perfect place for mom

My mom really loves the apartment! She doesn't even miss her previous home. All of her neighbors are extremely friendly. The manager is a terrific lady who treats every resident like one of her own parents. Belcaro is close to shopping, restaurants and CVS pharmacy, so Mom doesn't have to do a lot of traveling to get what she needs.

Beware of Skin Deep Appeal

Belcaro is on its way to becoming the nicest-looking geezer ghetto in a rapidly deteriorating neighborhood. The current mgr excels at renting rooms and throwing parties, but lacks essential skills for leading people (5 housekeepers hired/fired in 10 months), plans and paperwork. What is immediately convenient for her personally is what's always best for Belcaro. Mgr's whim outranks all medical privacy laws and disability rights. She has lost residents' support for the way she treats people who disagree with her publicly, ignores rules she enforces, and plays favorites when deciding disputes. Her "I'll tell you what you need to know to make my job easier" policy seems to apply to her bosses as well as the residents: After being tossed, she insisted I give her my credit card info to pay my final bill. I called her HQ to pay directly. They never heard of me. Residents are billed for the utilities the building wastes (easier than fixing the problem). Own a dog? Please live somewhere else.

Just Right, Not too much, Not too little

Overall experience is very good and it is always clean, even holiday decorations are taken down promptly after each holiday and common areas nicely decorated and clean. Everyone knows the staff. They are a great friendly team that are part of the community. They have activities on the resident monthly calendars received each month. Everyone seems to love weekly Bingo, and any gatherings in the community room that has food. They do have a community breakfast and dinner on the calendar each month at a low cost. The residents enjoy these events. Great value for cost for independent living here in the Springs. Pricing seems to go very high when a dining hall and on site care are bundled. We plan on having care/therapists, meals delivered etc. come to the home as needed in the future. Very happy here!

A friendly community.

It is like a big family. Management is on the ball. A very nice place to live and based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend The Belcaro to others.

A nice place to live

I have a corner apartment on the 3rd floor and it is 953 square feet. I have a one bedroom, but they also have 2 bedroom and studios not sure of the sizes on those. it is independent living with a lot of activities most are resident driven. It is in a great location.

Our Experience

This community is a gold nugget. If the family member is able to live in an "independent living" facility, this is a hidden treasure for sure. I met a new resident who told me that his kids found this place for him and he was nervous about it and thought it was a little pricy but said he was so glad he was there and he didn't mind the price. I told him that I felt the same way for my mother! I searched so many places and it by far has the largest living room! Very clean and everyone I have met are happy and involved there with the community events and each other. They invite my mother all the time. Staff is caring and great!

[names removed]" MANAGER & MAITENANCE EXTRAORDINAIRE!!"

Dear Belcaro: We had not yet had the chance to meet [name removed] until recently. We had spoken with him via phone (what a witty, caring, kindhearted person) and this was only over the phone. [name removed] is patient, understanding and has an incredible sense of humor along with his caring Heart-of-Gold is by far (THE BEST MANAGER EVER!!). [name removed] has truly made living at Belcaro a little bit of Heaven right here on earth. [name removed] advised us that he hired a new maintenance ([name removed]) person and will begin on a Monday. We could not believe that on [name removed] first day he shows up introduces himself and took care of all the things that needed to be fixed. WOW!! what a wonderful person ?? [name removed] is. My Mother, as well as myself adore both of them. They work hand-in-hand in making sure ALL tenants are taken care of. WHAT A BLESSING [names removed] are. "THANK YOU [names removed] (Manager and Maitenance Extrodinair's) We are truly their biggest fans!!! & "THANK YOU BELCARO !!!

The Belcaro review

What I like the most about The Belcaro community is the other residents living there they are very friendly. The community is in a nice location and the rent is reasonable (for today's market).

Happy living at The Belcaro

My apartment was very clean, and all of the staff and residents are friendly - very good vibes. When it comes to the care services I have no complaints. With it being independent living there are no meals provided. There are however, a lot of different activities going on. The value for cost is average, about normal for today. A Place for Mom was really helpful finding a place for us to live. [name removed] was especially helpful.

New Management is LAZY

My mother has been living here for several years. it used to be nice and a great place for her. Unfortunately there has been new management in for the last year or so and they are lazy and absolutely unhelpful. they hid in the office with doors closed, they have cancelled all community events (originally due to COVID but have made it clear they will not be bringing them back). No bus to the store, no field trips, no monthly dinner (unless the residents provide it themselves, not bingo or game nights!!!!) THEY DID NOTHING to help the residents during lock down due to COVID. Notices are sent to residents that if they say ANYTHING negative to the management or about them the resident will be evicted and this includes asking why they are not bring stuff back or why management is not doing their job. it has become such a sad place for her to live.

Very Pleased

The past few weeks have been a little hectic trying to settle in and get adjusted to our new way of life but so far we love it. We have a nice apartment and we are able to cook on our own. They offer quite a bit to do and once we feel that we are finally settled we will start pursuing those type of things. The staff and residents have been extremely friendly and nice. The community is well cared for. I believe my wife and I will be quite happy here.

A lot of help when I need it!

I really like this community. The reason why I picked here was because they provide transportation to and from the grocery store. Also that there apartments had there own washer and dryer. I am just now getting used to all the activities that they have to offer. It is enough to keep anyone busy for the whole day. I enjoy the meals and I'm looking forward to there Thanksgiving dinner.

I would rate them a 10 if I could

Mom is on a whole new level of happiness. I would rate this facility a 10 if I could. This has made my life so much easier. The staff is great, the meals are great, and the most important part is my Mom is so happy. This was the third place we tried and we love it.
