Glad we be found Steeplechase! Was what our friends needed.

The staff was very friendly. They have "ambassadors " who are residents that sit with you and share their experiences . That was nice. The room that Sdam and Shirley got was a one bedroom handicapped accessible which was important as Adam needs to sit in the shower. Having no bathtub to step into was important. The rooms are small and compact. Everything is very clean. My only observation that was less than desirable was the food quality. But I'm an old restaurant owner and I simply expect better food.

Perfect fit

I brought my cousin for a visit and she loved it. We had a nice lunch and met the staff. She decided that day Steeplechase was the place for her. She has a first floor apartment with a living and dining area. It also has a large bedroom and bath. Just the amount of space she needs. Her apartment also has a direct door to outside which is perfect for her because she enjoys early morning walks. She also appreciate the access to the van transportation to the neighborhood shopping and bank. All in all she is very satisfied with her decision to move there.

Stopped in unannounced and was given the royal treatment. It is obvious the residents love the facility. It was a toss up between Steeplechase and it's sister facility, Carriage House, next door. The pricing being basically the same we went with the newer property for my Mom. I would highly recommend both facilities. Many thanks

Steeplechase Gracious Retirement

I was looking for a place for my cousin who was in assisted living but really didn't need all the restrictions they provided. Steeplechase was a perfect fit for her. The atmosphere was so homey and the food was delicious. We were immediately welcomed by the friendly, helpful staff. She got a place on the first floor with access to a small patio outside. She is involved in several activities and appreciates having the salon on site for haircuts. The freedom provided by the van transportation services is great. They are very accommodating when she has appointments or wants to shop. I just spoke with her the other day and she expressed how grateful she is to have found this place to live.

My new home

One of the first things I love is I don't have to cook. The food is good however I don't like everything they cook but nobody likes everything we all have different opinions about food so therefore some like it and others don't but that's the way it is anywhere. Second I don't have to clean house. I don't have to wash my towels and my sheets since it's done for me. Third there are activities going on constantly so you can always have something to do. Right now there is music going on down in the lobby. you can go down and sit and listen or you can dance to it. One of the important things to me is I am right next door to my church and I can walk over for Live Oaks Church services and activities. I crochet items for the Samaritan's purse Christmas shoe boxes and I take it to the church. Several people here also crochet and when they found out what I was doing they started giving me things to put in the shoe boxes for the kids.

Meals

Attention. My father has been living at steeplechase for quite awhile. He has been enjoying most that you offer. However, he hasn't been happy for a few months about the meals you provide. He has complained to me that when he is given a hot meal, it comes out cold. Also when served meat most of the time it is tough. Approximately 1 1/2 months ago he had a meal that caused him to become ill. A few of his friends there became ill with stomach issues as well. Please look into what is being served and the quality of meal. Meals need to be satisfying to Steeplechase community. Thank you for addressing this.

Most important decision for the rest of Moms life

It is a wonderful place. My mom loves it. It is very clean. The staff is friendly and there is always someone to help if needed. There are many activities and they have fun theme parties. They have bus trips and it's easy for my mom to schedule a ride to her doctor. Food is abundant. It's in a beautiful section of Florida. The atmosphere is friendly and homey and the residents are happy to be there. They are very accommodating to family providing a room for me to stay when I visit. They also allow u to stay in the residents room if u prefer and will provide a roll away bed. It is by far the nicest place we looked at. We visited five. We feel blessed to have found Steeplechase.

Best Kept Secret in Independent Living!

My Aunt and Uncle are doing well at Steeplechase. They love the atmosphere, their apartment is cute, and the people seem very friendly. They're learning the ropes as far as getting around and using the bus. They have even joined in on some of the activities, which I think is awesome.

A family's peace of mind.

I would recommend them to others and simply add, they have a very helpful and ready-to-assist staff. . I would rate Steeplechase as an overall 5 on a scale of 1-5. In relation to the overall process from Touring the facility to move-in to my mom's present experience.

Needs safety issues addressed

The roof leaks and is overdue for replacement. The one elevator frequently breaks so 2nd and 3rd floor residents are stuck in apartments or risk falling trying to navigate stairs. Elevator broke today with a hurricane coming tomorrow. Not good! My mother has lived there 3 Years and it seems the elevator is broken at least once a month. Food has gone dowhill and now my mother buys and cooks her own meals. Trannsportation is sporadic due to vehicle breakdown or lack of drivers. Rent increased higher than expected w lack of return on investment. Hawthorne needs to invest in this building! Residents are moving out by the dozen. Mom is currently looking for a better place.

Steeplechase

Great and welcoming staff. They went above and beyond for my mother when EMTs had to respond to her need for ambulance service to the hospital, twice. They followed up with her upon her return to Steeplechase providing support where needed and requested. Mom has been there 4 months. No issues to date.

Overall Great Community

The only things that were ever an issue were mainly the quality of the food and lack of taste according to my mom. Another issue was just with the cleaning. We basically had to the floors and bathroom ourselves they were not getting them clean. My mom didn't use their towels (too heavy) and she slept in a recliner so there were no sheets for them to have to do also

Steeplechase is everything we needed for Mom

The community itself is nice and clean, although more thorough room cleaning would be nice. hear some complaints from Mom about quality of meals and chef but overall I believe the dining options are acceptable. Mom has her own card games with friends she has made at Steeplechase to keep her busy

Happy with Steeplechase

My former mother-in-law, she was very happy with Steeplechase. Meals were good and plentiful. I think there was a slight rate adjustment after one year, but nothing drastic. There has been management and personnel turnover over the past year, but I do not think it has caused much impact.
