Tarantino Properties, Inc

It was never great, but it was adequate. Now that they have changed ownership, it has gone downhill. There is never hot water. 9 months and they still haven't fixed the cable in the master bedroom. All the amenities are gone. Elevator is constantly broken...at a retirement community?? They did lower the price, but that's the only positive. And some of the staff is very rude of the have to actually move to do anything. Most of them are very nice, but there are always a few.

A friend of my mother lives in this place. He has severe dementia and we trying to get him out. HORRIBLE NURSING staff in the home he lives in!! The nurse who is always there in the mornings is USELESS AND RUDE. They are NEVER around ans we always have to LOOK for them EVERYONE IS ALWAYS ON THEIR PHONES.

I had to ask multiple times to have my dads room cleaned, sheets put on the bed, etc. There were many occasions that the kitchen staff just did not show up. Not good. And even worse when it changed to The Legacy under new ownership. I would not recommend Legacy at Oak Hill.

Elison Park is now named Kings Reserve Willowbrook. It is under new ownership and property management. The new owners did away with all of the amenities that my mom required (dining, transportation, housekeeping, 24/7 front desk...etc., so she ended up moving to Windermere Estates. Kings Reserve Willowbrook is now advertised as an "active seniors" facility and no longer caters to those with major disabilities.

There is high turnover in management. The dining experience left something to be desired. Changing in chefs left the food to be undesirable. Maintenance is nonexistent housekeeping is nonexistent, laundry service is terrible. The only activity that people participate in is bingo. It’s a new building, but only half of it is full of residence. Basically it’s half empty.

We went and viewed this property for my 85 year old father. Everything looked wonderful. Apartment was nice size and decent price. Meals, housecleaning and transportation to doctors/groceries, etc were included. Less then 2 months after he moved in, we got a notice that they were changing management, and all of the services were going to be taken away. They also are trying to charge my dad the same amount for for rent, even though it no longer includes meals, housekeeping, etc. I am very disappointed as there should have been transparency in what was going on. My Dad needs these services and now we have the cost of moving him again after just 2 months. I should only give 1 star, but I gave 2 because up until now the people that worked there have been wonderful in helping my dad. Now, they don't do that anymore.

Local Staff tries, but management, especially corporate representatives don't care and are responsible for most issues by lack of involvement and supervision.

There is not enough staff, even for half full. On a good day, there might be three aides and a med tech at night. Recently, they had to call in two people who were scheduled to be off because all five of the people scheduled to work called in sick. Just to have staff there over night. The door greeters are friendly and the three kitchen staff also asks how you're doing. The 2nd Director is trying, but overwhelmed. The chef makes tasty meals. My mom doesn't eat them, but I sampled a few and they were very good. The Activities Director is the best. She tries hard to get clients to participate in activities. She does a lot of things. At a cost of several thousand dollars a month, I am getting robbed because of lack of people to care for my mom. There is not enough staff to run this facility.

Bridgewater has several buildings on the one campus, I got to see a little beyond the entrance of two of them. They were gorgeous, and I saw an activity, and entertainer had come in. It was nice and included food! Then I toured the memory care unit, a separate building on the campus. I was told it had been remodeled a few years ago. It had none of the charm or attention to any interior design attractiveness. I was shocked. I felt sad and depressed in that building. I watched one activity, a man brought several sweet dogs for the residence to enjoy, which was nice.

The Preserve gives a good first impression. Unfortunately, this is all a façade. It is really a Hell hole wrapped up in a pretty little package. The "friendliness of the staff is all fake. All in all, they ruined my husband's life (and mine too).

My loved one's were residents at this facility. Contract staff, no name tags, no clue who was coming or going. Separate building so office staff is not engaged. A piece of my loved one's jewelry was lost/stolen.

My Mother lived there for 4 years+ with 3 different owners. Sagora being the last one. When it was necessary for my Mother to receive more care than Independent living Sagora was very difficult to work with. The inspection of the apartment was so specific that they charged us for a paint job for small nail holes from hanging pictures. Though I returned the gate key fobs that we had (3) which we paid [fee removed] deposits on we were never refunded the money nor would they respond to repeated attempts to contact them.

This community can work to improve on their maintenance and overall cleanliness and house keeping. Also we have brought issues to their attention that is not being taken care of or followed through, also they have made changes to meals that we don't approve of.

Run. It's hard to get anything done here. The staff were very unconcerned about a theft in my room. They didn't even write it down or make a note of it or anything. Their attitude was like "So what?" To me, that's not a so what. That takes away my feeling of safety. They've changed ownership since I moved in, and things are really going downhill fast. This is an old complex, and it could be wonderful under the right management. It's laid out beautifully. You can go anywhere and not be out in the rain on the rainiest day. They have a pool, although it could be made easier for us to get in and out of it. But I don't feel like they know what they're doing. There are some very nice people who live here, but I've learned to keep to myself pretty much.

I would want others to know if you are looking into Colonial Oaks at Vista that they have a serious issue with communication with family members. Also, due to COVID they locked the facility down and no one is able to come in or out to protect residents, which we understood. 4 months into COVID, my mother in law got COVID and she had never left, so they have no idea how she got it. When we tried to visit on her birthday, they were very rude about it even though we were sitting outside the window and they tried to give us a time frame. Overall, we are not having a good experience here.

What is going on with the food?My friend lives there and recently has serious complaints about the decline in the food quality. The menu is usually not consistent with what is being served and the increase in canned vegetables versus fresh has increased. She has a very strict diet being diabetic and watches her sodium intake. I would think that an increase in canned vegetables is not a good thing for people watching sodium intake. Are there any plans to improve the quality of food that is being served?

We are very disappointed in the apartment and office services. The apartment was not clean when we moved in and there was a faucet that was leaking all over the bathroom. There is no stopper in the disposal drain and there was a moldy refrigerator in the living room when we picked up the keys. I have been trying for 3 weeks to hear back from the accounting office to no avail.

My father was very unhappy there . They have continued to do nothing for him since he has resided there and he is very miserable.

There was a director change right at the time that my mom moved in. Although the staff was very friendly, my mom did not get the care that she needed. I feel that The Reserve "over promised" during the sales pitch and "under delivered" after we moved in.
