Resort Lifestyle Communities

They keep the community spaces and dinning room clean, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The dinning room staff are outstanding. The management seems like they might have some trouble being completely transparent at time. Just because of the Covd-19 pandemic and community lock down, there haven't been many actives. With that said, the activities they do offer seem like they would be a better fit for those who are less active or mobile.

The food is not good. We have a new chef, things started off good but not really that good now. It has really changed in the last few years. They are taking folks with higher care needs. This is an Independent community and it feels more like Assisted Living. I like the staff. I like the layout.I have a deck on my unit. The location is wonderful, close to everything.

This is a newer facility and very nice on the in side. Outside offers nothing, no swim pool, poor landscaping, loud traffic, and no place for residents to enjoy the outdoors. Our host was new and could not or would not answer some questions. Lunch was excellent and had many choices. The activities calendar did offer as much as other communities we visited. They do not offer assisted living, or memory care, which we would like to have available.

The rooms were nice but the cafeteria eating was a dealbreaker. We did not enjoy the food. [Name removed] didn't take the time to tell us about the food options if you don't want what is being served. In fact, [name removed] acted like she didn't know that we had an appt. for a tour. We had told [name removed] that we were interested in a 2 bd/2bath apartment but were told that they need 24 hours notice to make those arrangements. I made the appointment for the tour on Tuesday for a Friday tour. The whole experience was poor. We won't be moving to Coronado Villa.

We toured here, and to be honest, we didn't get a good feeling just driving through the parking lot. They had more amenities than some other places we visited, but it did not have the homey, comfortable quality we were looking for. They had a lot of activities, two dining rooms, and washers and dryers in the apartments, but the community seemed darker and the people weren't near as friendly as what we were hoping for.

I've been in touch with [Removed], and he has been incredibly responsive--that is why I gave a high score to a place that isn't even open yet. Deerfield Springs sounds like it would be ideal. I am hoping to get Mom here in October for a visit, and [Removed] is planning to offer presentations at a site TBD on the 26th and 27th since they aren't opening until late 2018. That may be too long of a time frame for us to wait. Mom will be 87 next month, and a lot can happen in a year. But I would like to hear the presentation regardless.

The facility is new so very clean. Not much green space. Very hotel like.

This is a very nice community, but unfortunately they were not fully open yet. It is a very nice community, but their prices were too expensive for my budget overall.

Very nice facilities BUT average food. They advertise that this place is deluxe but the food is basically cafeteria quality described with fancy names. The food needs to be improved to justify the very expensive cost of this place that does not even include assisted living services. It is a very expensive retirement apartment complex with mediocre food quality and extra services you have to order separately.

$3330/mo to $4300/mo

The apartment I saw was really chopped up. Maple Ridge is the same company and I'd prefer it, I think.

Lovely apartments with large closets. Firm on prices and no negotiation. Nice facility with good exercise room and spa. Slightly high in cost versus ammenities.

Quickie tour after meeting. Brand new facility with only 16% occupancy. Nice assortment fo room options. Middle price range of $4500/mo with a $550 extra person charge. Did not sample any food other than before meeting cookies and coffee. Dining facilties looked good with 24 hour food service available. Built to to dup;icate a criuse ship. No medical care or facilities.

I will take Mom here.

The community is beautiful, The director is reall great, but the population is down right now. I would recommend this community to others.

I just wanted to warn people about the Emerald Oaks Retirement Resort Community. If you want looks, with no soul this is your place. My Mother was a founding member when they first opened. New and modern was important to her. As time rolled on, she found out this organization rotates managers in and out all the time. The facility had 6 -8 different sets of managers during her 2.5 years living there. Some really good and some very poor. She was also starting to complain about the food service. The quality was poor and food was cold. She was talking about moving to the Franklin, where a lot of members, and friends had already relocated to. She had a fall in her Apt. and that was that. So I am warning all! This is a business, they want your money and that is it. No Heart, No Soul. No Caring!!

property is lovely. The food needs to improve. Most days not even fresh fruit. Church service was promised and is not happening. Was scheduled at first but attendance was low. Most people had not even moved in yet. They need to give it a chance. Staff is very friendly except one grump which everyone knows who that is. Hopefully food will improve and more activities scheduled and not cancellation.

My love one has lived a private crossing for over two years. Although the building is lovely and well appointed as are the apartments the facility is billed as a non-smoking property which in fact it is not. Also the food is less then palatable and in my opinion lacking in overall quality. Meals are served buffet style not served to your table. This property has a history of management turnover which I think is lacking for the continuity of the overall quality of this facility. New managers are on board and promising to make the food better etc. this is a very pricey community I would love to see my loved one move to a better price facility with better food and no smoking

Poor experience overall.....food a huge problem......can't keep managers.....poor quality for the cost. Moved out of there last year when they raised the cost and we weren't getting what we were paying for anyway. I do not recommend this place.

I have been at the Square for less than a year. It is a beautiful place with a fitness center, beauty shop, lounge, and bank on site. However, looks can be deceiving. Initially it was a great place. Since then, I have experienced 3 different sets of managers, numerous support staff turnovers in housekeeping, dining services and maintenance. I love some of the staff here but managers leave a lot to be desired. I went from feeling at home to feeling like I was living in a dictatorship. There are limitations placed on residents which quite frankly have made my life uncomfortable here. It is VERY expensive to live here and I no longer feel I am getting the value or quality of life for the money I pay. I would caution anyone considering the Square to really think about it before signing on the dotted line. It truly isn’t worth it. Several residents feel the same way and have given notice of leaving the Square.
