Connect55 Plus

I am currently a resident at Connect55 Plus Shawnee and things have been very good for me here so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are good. The staff, activities and value for cost are also good. The other residents and staff are friendly and the new manager is very good. I would recommend Connect55 Plus Shawnee to family and friends.

The residents here are very nice and friendly, also the apartments are really nice. I do think the value for cost is excellent, we have great amenities and a really nice fitness room.

I chose The Springs at Independence because of the security, to me it seems to be a very secure facility. Also the staff members are very friendly, especially the manager, she knows everybody name. I am very happy with my apartment size, they are very spacious.They also provide a washer and dryer in the units which has been very convenient. I would recommend, I am very happy here.

Eagle Crest and my mom has been a good match. She has been there almost a year now, and has settled in nicely. My siblings and I are pleased with the cleanliness, security and quality of employee's and residents. Mom had been living alone out of state and is glad to be here. She likes the no pressure to participate as much or as little she is comfortable with. Thank you to A Place for Mom for being available and so helpful with such an important part of life.

Steve Rothenberg was GREAT. He made us feel very comfortable. Very clean and tidy common areas. They offered us about 1 1/2 months free rent and free washer/dryer stack. 3rd floor apartment elevation eliminates traffic noise while using deck. Very small floor plan, 890 sq ft. We would have to give up wife's family heirloom furniture to fit in this apartment. Will need to see other places, as moving J in wheelchair was very tight.

Michael was extremely helpful and patient. The facility looks practically brand new! Dad seemed to really like the apts. after touring. The location is also very convenient.

We found Fairway Pointe to be very much every thing that we were looking for in an apartment for our senior years. It is a very clean, friendly and pet friendly complex. The outside is very nicely landscaped.

We have been without any general management off and on for a couple of months. The residents are wonderful. Activities are varied and enjoyable. We don't have food service but we do have a lot of pot luck dinners. At present we don't have any staff at this location. We have new staff starting [date removed]. Cleanliness is average and some residents have maintenance problems. The cost to live here is very affordable compared to other independent facilities . I would suggest that one would see if the management of the facility or any facility be checked before making a decision.

We have a staff turnover every month or two. They could improve by fixing the repairs needed such as the roof leaks.

I like the location. [name removed] and [name removed] are very nice. The apt is ok except for the refrigerator. It's way too small. What I don't like : There is no energy. I'm an active person. This place is bringing me down.

It's apartment living and I had noisy neighbors. they no longer had a cleaning service maintenance man had to clean and fix everything. everyone was nice and looked out for one another. it's not an assisted living so there wasn't really care provided I don't think I was 60 so didn't require any but I guess some people had care givers come in. Administrative staff - I was told she doesn't like to deal with issues when I was having issues with my noisy neighbors it wasn't really addressed. meals were not provided we had potlucks and pizza parties. there were quite a few activities provided not very well attended unless food was provided!! Fitness center on sight was adequate. most people think it's pricey I thought it wasn't too bad considering everything was included. Hope this helps. In theory I would definitely recommend it in reality it didn't work out for me because of the apartment living and noise issues. If someone is older over 70 and looking for a place I would recommend it's s safe place and people look out for one another

A very nice place , lots of activities for residents , safe walking areas. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

There is only one ramp and that's at the front door so it's challenging to people with walkers or wheelchairs because if they live elsewhere in the building, they have to figure out how to get there equipment over the curb everywhere else. They are slow repairing things sometimes. They only have elevators at each end of the buildings so anyone living somewhere in the middle has to walk a long way to the elevator unless they can take the stairs down or up. There is a. 30 pound limit on dogs. I will say that the apartments are pretty decent not a luxury hotel but they're decent.

I would probably not recommend. No maintenance person no bug service and the activities are not welcoming to new residents. However we love that everything is included in rent except electricity. The new manager is nice just has her hands tied with management. I picked them because they had a on site activity director, and a friendly manager.

Facility is cheaper than living in a facility that also has assisted living and serves meals. Some of us are not at that point yet. There was a push to fill the facility and a lot of incentives were offered. Now that we are almost full we don't know what changes ownership plans to make. The immediate staff of 3 are wonderful. Residents enjoy the activities and friendships made. However ownership is making changes regarding activities, and residents have little information. We anticipate more changes. I guess if I'd been wiser, I'd looked into who owned the facility, how they treated staff and residents and if the owners paid the expenses on time . A few are looking to move when their lease is up. There just aren't that many places where it is just independent living like we have.

The facility is not very clean. The common areas are not cleaned often or well. There are several items that have been broken since I moved in and are safety and health hazards. There are not handicap parking places by all exits nor are the curbs ramped for easy access except at front door. They seem to have trouble keeping a maintenance man. It is a nice facility and there are a good variety of activities.

The staff that they currently have are friendly and personable. There is no housekeeping for residents, we take care of our own living space. There are also no meals, they do have donuts in the morning every other Friday. These are apartments, not Assisted Living, so residents usually take care of their own needs. The residents are wonderful and supportive of each other's needs. I would recommend this facility based on that.

This place was nice but to expensive. They do not accept section 8.

I left before my contract was up, but I paid my contract out. It's a horrible place. I left back in July because of wise deception in the way they treat people I was told my apartment was rented because they wanted me to move to a bigger apartment that cost more money, but they thought they had me to make me to move, but I was already mad. I didn't have a contract nor had I signed a paper that said I was leaving my apartment so when she said she already rented my apartment that I was currently renting from underneath me I said that's fine. I'm not mad, but I'm not still not taking the other apartment because she would never give me a contract to the new apartment I was about to move into. I said you can keep both apartments I'm done. She didn't know quite what to do. I left then come to find out she has lied. She'd never rented out at my apartment And where I had messed up. I didn't get anything in writing so therefore I was stuck paying the rent I ended up getting her fired, but I'm the one that ultimately paid the price now in regards to other items of business anything that needed to be fixed like the roof or the drive way never fixed items falling off the wall and I'm speaking about the outside. I got hit in the back by one of the bricks so I never sit outside on my porch again again it's just a horrible place to live. Do you need anything else? I wanna know anything else about the place I wouldn't recommend it to anyone not anyone what I recommend to live there we have went through four or five managers in less than a year that should tell you something.

If we could give the care services, the staff and the value for cost a-1 we would. I absolutely would NOT recommend Connect 55 in Elkhorn. Not a pleasant place to live. I am moving out and so are about 10-12 other folks leaving. I have lived here 1 year and we have our 4th property manager and no activity director even though we are charged a percentage for activities. This is just a very very small portion of all our complaints. The only thing god about this place are several of the residents but they are also moving when their lease ends
