4.0 out of 5 stars

Mostly satisfied

Overall, I’ve had a positive experience. The staff are very pleasant, helpful, and caring, and the food has been mostly good. The facilities are clean and generally well maintained. One area that could be improved is the air conditioning. Central air would be much more comfortable, as the wall unit in the living area and the small fan between the living area and bedroom are not quite sufficient. The kitchen sink and countertop are also fairly small and could benefit from more space.

[name removed], the agent who interviewed us and took us on the tour, was very helpful and gave us a lot information. The apartments had modern appliances and were very pleasant. The only downside I saw was there was no stove in the kitchen. Of course all your meals are in the cafeteria and there is no need of a stove. We ate lunch in the cafeteria and the food was ok but not great. That, of course, probably varies from day to day. It's location is close to many shops. There is small bus that a resident can take to do their shopping. There are planned activities for residents and comfortable sitting rooms for personal visits or games. My friend that I took there likes it and is planning on moving in soon.

There is a feeling of community. The grounds are well kept. The apartments appear good size and having a patio/ balcony of your own is very nice.

Our experience

The staff are great, activities good, food is good and adequate. The facilities are clean. The only things I have noticed is 1. When we were moving her in I noticed that the Inspection certificate for the elevator was expired. And the last time I went to her apartment which was a couple weeks ago it was still expired. Also it's hard to understand why the 1st floor and 2nd floor get access to wi-Fi/internet, but on the 3rd floor there isn't any and residents have to purchase their own. I don't think that is fair for the facility to do that. Prices are high as it is. Talking with my mom she has heard other residents are upset about it also.

Monarch is my home and the residents and staff are my family.

I will have lived here almost 6 years. I wouldn't move to another retirement community because of my friends and family here. I'm happy. [name removed], our manager, is always willing to help and listen when I need her. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed]. There are more great staff members that I don't know well but I do know that they do a good job. I would encourage anyone to come to live with us here. You will find a family and a home. Just call [name removed]or [name removed]. You'll love them and see why I'm so happy here.

Quality living

They have made my brothers (The [name removed] Brothers) a home where they have a life and are happy. That gives me peace of mind. I know they are protected, fed, encouraged, entertained, and loved, all things that I wanted for them.

All I hoped for

My initial encounter with the staff at Monarch Estates was positive. They were prepared for my visit and gave us an unhurried tour. I was pleased to find the size apartment we wanted on the first floor near the dining room that had a back door that opened to the spacious lawn and walking trail. I can't comment on the food or activities because I do not live in the area, but my brother tells me he is quite content there. I have no complaints.

Would recommend

My mom likes the landscaping the most. I like the friendly residents. Possible improvements- my mom said she doesn't like to criticize... I'll say the meals could be a bit more healthy and tasty.

Recommended

I would and have recommended the facility to others and they have concurrently moved in. It took my Mom about 9 months to adjust to this lifestyle arrangement, and now she absolutely loves being at the facility. It has improved her mentality, her socialization and her physically. The housekeeping is lacking. The quality of the food is terrible! They have a lot of diabetic residents living at the facility, but yet do not offer any type of options for them. The move in was extremely easy.

a nice community

This community is definitely for independent living, there are no nursing services at all unless you pay extra. This community is definitely for those who want to stay active and can get up and do fun things. It is a really nice community its been wonderful and we would recommend to others.

Excellent Experience with Holiday Monarch

My loved one is having a wonderful experience. They serve a lot of sandwiches and he has a hard time eating them. Also, on the weekends they serve a lot of boxed lunches. Very welcoming, caring and understanding. Medication personnel is very communicative. Excellent job of locating him to take his medication. My loved one even moved apartments ( moved to larger apartment) and they were so very helpful. Only improvement could be w the food, but honestly, they are doing the best they can due to short staffing situation

nice community but needs improvement

The place has been bought out a few times and right now just like everyone else they are understaffed so a lot of what we are paying for is not happening. They are supposed to have a meal menu but it seems like the chef is just throwing some things together and the kitchen staff is always out. The do have a few activities but it could be better. We do really like the community there just needs to be improvement
