Greystar

The staff and other residents are friendly and sponsor events and activities a few times a month. They even try to make it convenient for the tenants. However, this is a place for elderly folks that can still manage themselves. The cost and location were the things that had us choose The Pointe at Siena Ridge, but there are a few fees that will raise the cost by about $60 to $120 a month. Nevertheless, the cost (reasonable to quite good) and the location (situated in a convenient spot for shopping, entertainment, eateries, and more) are reasons to consider the site. I'm not aware of any health care being administered on the premises. This is a 55+ community for those who still can take care of themselves.

FYI: Overture is a 55+ community - not assisted living. The manager and activities director have been recently replaced. We're waiting to see how the replacements work out. There are numerous activities offered; mostly resident lead. Essentially a person can be as busy as as they'd like. However there are few activities organized by management.

The community is fine and the people are great. There are no meals but the activities are planned by the residents. There is limited care as it is a 55 plus, no care facilities. There are multiple items needing repair. Other than the companionship of the tenants, I would not rent again. The pricing keeps going up on the tenants and many are leaving. There are quite a few tenants needing additional medical care which is not provided. Only about half of the tenants are active. The pest control is lacking, there are lots of crickets and small insects in hallways. There apartments are nice though, good size.

It's been fine so far. Would like transportation provided but that's about it. People and staff are friendly. Activities are all nice- rooms are comfortable and really like all the kitchen cupboards. Safety features are adequate. All in all Album Quail Springs is a nice place to live.

The main reason I chose The Orchard at Arlington Highlands was because the facility is closer to my family. The apartment sizes and the amenities that are offered are nice! This has been an amazing experience for me. I hate to leave but I am looking for something better.

I love it here we do a lot of stuff together. But I do want to we do not have meals prepared for us we have a lot of pot luck meals and we all share that. We get together once a month and go out to eat at any place that offers senior discount or we let us have the lunch menu at 5:00 when we get there. That is fun and helps us all out with the price.

Overall quality seems to have gone down since new management company took over The concierge is excellent. They are trying to improve on communication with the residents. Maintenance is behind on their work.

This is a good facility but it is strictly independent living. There are activities such as games and outings if you are able to move freely. It depends on what you need. The Overture is nice but there are times when I would like to have a prepared meal once a day. Also it would be nice to have someone on call at night. Since my husband died a year ago, I find myself needing someone to call on. Other places I have looked at are higher in cost.

We had water damage during the freeze and they are working on the road going into the complex which has been challenging. I know these are not necessarily the community's fault, but does impact us. We also had a management change around December and sadly our new manager isn't as personable as the previous one. Having said all that, I am still so glad I am here! I love my apartment and I have made so many good friends! I would still highly recommend NorthStar because the positives still way outshine the negatives!

Accessibility is an issue. Those with walkers and scooters cannot easily access The Great Room due to a lack of automatic doors. When you actually encounter one they're very nice. Just not terribly accessible. There's no "care" provided here. It's independent living. Meals - none provided. The community has undergone management change. All activities and building services are inconsistent at the moment. Newly hired people may improve this score. Three point eight. The "Value" would be higher if new staff and management can get their footing and address issues. I would absolutely recommend this property. Pet friendly! Ridiculously great location for food, medical, shopping.

This is a 55 + building, everything was super when we lived here! Other than having to break down cardboard boxes and carry them to the dumpsters (we were 2 handicapped people in electric wheelchairs). I would most definitely recommend this facility to others. It's a quiet, dog friendly place. We were very self sufficient. We loved our 2 bedroom apartment. It's close to everything you need: grocery, drug store, fast food, and the interstate.

New People are not easily accepted into the groups already established. Apartments are good. Maintenance is good. They are very prompt and efficient. The carpet is worn but that's to be expected. Not too bad!

The new management team (2023) is awesome. In the short time they have been here many things that have needed doing have been done. The team is knowledgeable, efficient, and fun to have here. Overture 55 is a caring, friendly community.

So far so good, no complaints! Noteworthy: they have washers/dryers in the individual apartments! I would recommend them to family and friends.

We are just moving in so we haven't really experienced much, however we can definitely speak to the patience of a great staff during the process because they definitely were patient! We visited the property and various apartments probably no less than 6-8 times in a 45-day span. We just couldn't make a decision about moving in. We were invited to attend several events while we were considering this location and they were quick to treat us like residents even before signing the lease! We have been moving in for the past week and several other tenants have stopped by to chat & welcome us to the property. This seems like a great start! Can't wait to see what the next 15-months present!

We love living at Arietta. The staff is kind and helpful. The residents are fun, young at heart, inspiring. There are so many activities that are beneficial to us physically, socially, and mentally. A real find.

Overture Cary has excellent proximity to grocery shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities. You can be as involved as you want to be, and there are a lot of resident-led activities. The worry of taking care of our own place is gone. You don't have to take care of a roof or an air conditioner like you do with home ownership. The hallways are always clean, and we clean our apartment ourselves. They offer different sizes of apartments, priced according to size, so you get what you pay for. When you move into a place like this, keep in mind you really have to downsize. But overall it has been great, and we wish we would have done it sooner!

Since I moved in 2 1/2 years ago I've been made to feel at home. The people living here mostly are friendly and the staff has always been helpful. I've made a lot of friends!

I chose The Orchard because they were running a special at the time of 2 months rent free and since I was moving out of state that helped my move. The apartment sizes are good and they have very nice amenities. There is a full size washer and dryer in the units and all of the appliances are virtually brand new. The ceilings are about 10 feet tall which makes it feel large. The only complaint I have is there are no full sized bathtubs but I understand why. They have colored parking and also have attached and detached garages that you can purchase. There is a dog park with turf in the back. They also have valet garbage pickup. They have continental breakfast 2/3 times a week and snack at social events, it is high calorie and carb foods so they could incorporate more healthy foods. If you are in 70s and 80s, I would definitely recommend the facility.

I would advise others to definitely look at other options, because in terms of price compared to others, The Gardens of Annapolis is on the higher end in terms of rent. if you are on a fixed income, that would b something you'd need to take into consideration. in terms of convenience location, it is extremely convenient because its located directly across the street from a shopping center. I would also tell others to check the demographics of this community. I didn't realize how important that was before moving my loved one in. meeting friends and making connections can be difficult if there aren't many people who look like your loved one. making a true connection has been a challenge, and its not the communities fault - it's just difficult to form a true connection with someone that you cant relate to. I know because of HIPPA laws they cant disclose certain information and I and respect that, but I would advise others to spend time there and get a feel for what its like before moving in. we are trying to recreate a comfortable life for someone who has left a spot that they've lived at for 60+ years; that can be proven tough when its hard to make significant relationships in your new home. overall I would recommend them to others. it's a nice community with fantastic staff. the apartment unit is great for my loved one and was something they were able to adjust into. the cleanliness of the community can't be beat. there are pockets of time during the day where it is very quiet and the residents are tucked away in their rooms or elsewhere. my loved one likes to talk and mingle with people, so that has been a challenge as well. I know that my loved one likes the place, they seem to be adjusting and doing fine. I just know that one of their challenges has been the lack of true friendship and meaningful connection. The Gardens is a great place, there are just things that you should pay attention to and invest your focus into during your discovery process. I didn't notice the particular demographic or lack of diversity until after we moved my loved one in.
