Overall experience Billing practices Poor communication to resolve problems Promised features not available Limited transportation The facility is lovely and the staff is friendly. However, ongoing staffing issues mean that service is compromised. No one other than the executive director has any information or ability to resolve issues. The executive director is not easily contacted. I have emailed and left written requests for a phone call to discuss ongoing issues. The billing system is haphazard and erroneous charges have been added each month. The only resolution is a "credit". This is not acceptable for persons living on a budget. We were told there were concierge services we could purchase a la carte but they are so understaffed that they cannot provide them. The menu rarely matches the printed menu provided each month and service is very slow. Transportation has been cut to one per week between a small window of time. Again, I suspect this is a staffing issue. We are supposed to have free cable but it does not work and has not since day 1 with repeated requests for repair. We were told there was a pendant system for fall alerts. Again, no pendant despite repeated requests. The result of their disorganization and staffing has meant that we have had to hire outside services for solutions that were supposed to be included as part of their amenities package. The residents and staff are friendly and the building is quite nice but it is clearly being mismanaged.

Friendly and Warm Senior Living in Martin City

I’m a friend and caregiver for a resident at The Madison, and we’ve been very pleased overall with the experience. The community is clean, welcoming, and well-located, with great amenities. We especially appreciate that all meals and weekly transportation to medical appointments are included. There are also a variety of wonderful on-site activities like Happy Hour, classes, games, and holiday celebrations. The entire staff has been professional and friendly. We love the sunny and bright atmosphere. Our only concern is that the dining room and maintenance areas seem a bit understaffed. This sometimes results in longer wait times for meals and slower response times for maintenance requests.

A place for Mom was incredibly helpful and compassionate. I appreciate all I learned throughout the process and it took a lot of stress off my shoulders. I would recommend using A Place For Mom to everyone.

Top notch

The meals are restaurant style which means it comes hot, made to order, to your table. The staff are genuinely concerned about you as a person and do their best to be accommodative to all of your needs and wants. The residents are friendly and enjoyable to be around.

Stay involved and ask questions

Staffing issues keep the rating from being a 5. Consistency and temperature and lack of healthy snacks keep this from being a5. Activities - inconsistency due to staffing. The best experience and care come with the family being involved and coming by frequently. There is moderate movement in staff and long delays in filling.

Feels like home

Before moving to The Madison Senior Living, my Mom had visited friends there. When we started looking for an apartment for her, she told us that it was high on her list. So our family toured The Madison, and we all liked it a lot. Staff is friendly and helpful. From what I've seen, everyone is made to feel at home.

Disappointing

Most of the workers were excellent. A few weren't; i was told repeatedly by one that I needed to hurry because she couldn't take time, she had other people to take care of. I've been diagnosed with parkinson's and hurry isn't an option many times, they were aware of my condition when they allowed me to move into their assisted living: unit: another threw my shoes down and told me if I was waiting on her to put them on i would wait all night. The food is sometimes great sometimes below what I thought was their standard. Tonight's Salisbury steak had to be cut with a knife.. the taste ws fine, texture wrong.. they do have many congenial, compassionate workers who are caring and hard working. I hate to leave because of them. They short staffed.

I am very happy with the facility and friendliness of staff. Unfortunately, the response time on requests are slow. The rental payment app is not working correctly, but we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

up scale classy independent living IN MY EYES

Well, as I driving down 150 highway every day to go home it brings me so much joy to look over and see a beautiful senior living facility in my area . I was really inquisitive on how the inside look. The outside was Luchious, so the inside was also simply gorgeous. Also, when i saw the name of the dining hall. 18th and vine I chucked that was such a special touch. If my parents were alive I would recommend them to live there at the Madsion Senior Living .

It takes 30 days for everyone to adjust

Our move in experience was less than stellar. We came on a day that the Wellness Director was out and the communication from the sales team about what was missing for admission lead to things being rushed leading up to mom’s arrival day. Because we were already tired from a multi state move and nervous about the change it made the first day very stressful. NOW, what I do not want to leave out was that EVERYONE was so nice and tried to make this very stressed daughter feel at ease. The first few weeks were rougher than I expected but we kept communicating and now 30 days in things are starting to smooth out. It takes that long for the residents and staff to learn each other. I continue to reach out to the administration to work on an improved first day experience for other families. And, like many facilities in the area they are under staffed. There is always room for improvement but I do believe the staff at the Madison care about the residents.

Review for The Madison Senior Living

We picked based on cost and having all levels of care available. Right now my dad is in independent living, but if he needs more care we can keep him at the Madison. I would recommend to others.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Madison Senior Living and things have been mostly great for him at this facility so far. The move in process was simple. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff is also great. The value for cost is good. However, when a maintenance ticket is opened, it takes days before they come and address the issue. The 24 hour snack cooler is great and is free for the residents. I would recommend The Madison Senior Living Independent Living to others. I have no exposure to Assisted Living or Memory Care.

We chose The Madison Senior Living mostly because of the location and it just felt right after a visit with them. What has stuck out most about this facility is the friendliness of all the staff members.

Great Community

I would 100% recommend not only using "A Place for Mom" to help the family find the right placement but I also cannot even provide enough positive things about The Madison. All of the personnel are so nice and helpful to mom. They go out of their way to keep her engaged in the community and to listen to any issues she has. Mom was set that she was going to not enjoy the move but her quality of health and her mental health has improved so much.

My review of the Madison Senior Living

Overall this is a good community but there is a staffing problem. The dining and food services do not have enough staff either and this is my only big complaint about this community. They have activities like bingo, and they really don't have to many other things or activities for the residents to do. The staff that they do have are excellent they just do not have enough staff.

A Community With The Potential of Good Things

The staff are very friendly. The community is new and clean. They need more staff to be able to provide a higher level of consistent care. There is no main chef and the food is served cold. The main chef left because he was having to serve the food as well. My loved one is having to wait a long time for medications and bathing assistance. There are a lot of agency staff coming in as the community is unable to maintain regular staff.
