The quality of food needs improvement, the portion size is very small if my mother requests the meal delivered to her apartment. I highly recommend Melody living and have shared the information with others.

Avoid at all costs

I do not recommend this senior living community due to ongoing and serious safety failures. For over a year, exterior doors did not lock properly, including overnight, despite repeated concerns. This occurred during a period of car break-ins and thefts in the parking lot, putting residents at clear risk. A particularly alarming incident involved a resident who went missing. Nursing staff failed to notify the family and did not initiate proper elopement procedures for over 12 hours. The care staff was told the resident was with family, which was untrue—the resident was later found inside the facility. This represents a critical breakdown in communication, monitoring, and protocol. There have also been excessive resident falls, raising concerns about supervision and care planning. Additionally, residents with memory-care needs were housed in assisted living rather than an appropriate secured memory-care setting, which is unsafe and unacceptable. Rather than addressing these systemic i

Improve communication otherwise great place

Not happy at all. Said they could take her and handle her and then kicked her out. Beautiful clean places and great people. The meals seemed real nice but it was way to expensive. We gave the overall experience a 1 for what happened.

Promises promises promises…..excuses excuses excuses

My loved one has been a resident for two plus years. We have finally had enough and have freed them. 5 directors, 3 wellness directors 1 1/2 activities directors…..primarily abandoned position. … if your loved one likes videos this is your home!!! Always PROMISED it will get better all we got was rate increase. New director on the job since April 22. She has overseen 2 “restrictions periods “. Where residents are required to eat in their rooms and activities cancelled. Don’t miss that lockdown twice since April 22!!!! Meals were up to two hours late.. on a happy note they were given a coloring book….REALLY? Confined to your room for 5 days and you get a coloring book? Check the citations for this place. Please do your homework. Not enough space for the failed promises. But director will be happy to provide a multitude of excuses!! The food was pretty good.

I visited this location this past friday. I had a tour schedule and I waited 20 mins for the girl to give me a tour. She didn’t apologize or nothing. She was very pushy and not knowledgeable. The facility was dirty crumbles on the carpet and dust everywhere. My experience overall was disappointing. For the amount of money they charge I expect cleanliness and good customer service.
