Verena at Leander

Overall good - a couple of issues after the move in. Food service ends at 5 pm and early on the weekends. They have been short staffed in restaurant. The housekeeping is supposed to come every 2 weeks and they have only come to MILs one time since she moved in at the end of May.

Smells terrible

I was having lunch with a family member, if you could call it that, and had one of the worst experiences. First, the food tasted like it was all processed, and fried in dirty oil. While our waiter([name removed]) was amazing, a waitress for a neighboring table was beyond disrespectful. I was so shocked listening to [name removed] welcome the table with “what do you want”, “you can read the menu can’t you”(when asked for the special), just no tact. And the kicker was when I went to use the restroom next to the dining room, I was assaulted with the putrid stench of shit. I’m assuming it came from the locked stall, with no one in it, something is not right. I have been in porta potties cleaner that smelled better than there. I’m only giving 5 stars for activities, cause I know my grandma loves [name removed] and [name removed] , and says [name removed] is the best thing ever.

Amazing activities

Residents and the activities are fantastic! I just loved how welcome they made me feel. Only downside was the food didn’t feel super fresh. Made me wish it was more home made tasting. Other than that and hearing that the maintenance is less to be desired.

Wonderful place to live!

The people who live and work at Verena are what make it special for me. Having been recently widowed, I was worried about fitting in prior to moving here. But everyone is very friendly and inclusive. There are a variety of activities to accommodate people and you can be as busy as you choose. They have various apartment sizes to choose from, I have a one bedroom and it is perfect for my needs. I'm very happy I chose Verena at Leander for this stage of my life.

Wonderful transition from house to apartment living

When looking for a place for mom or dad, give us a look. Leaving a house is a difficult choice. I have personally lived in 4 different properties over the last 8 years and Verena at Leander is by far the best. I feel safe, well fed and have transportation to where I need to go (within a certain distance). Grocery store (HEB) and Wal Mart runs are made about once a week. Everyone is friendly and accepting. We have outings (either eating out or visiting an interesting place). We have games to play (just about any that you would want) and if we don't have it, you can start it. A couple of tips when visiting, be sure to include your mom or dad in your visits. After all they are ones who will be living with us. Keep in mind that we are Independent Living and not Assisted Living. Your mom or dad will need to be able to look after themselves (medications and dressing, etc). I would love to meet your mom or dad. Please keep Verena at Leander at the top of your list. We are all family.

Overall care and facility

The current Verena team is amazing. The office team, especially [name removed] are wonderful! Their prompt response, kindness, understanding and care is beyond words. Their chef and dinning team are exceptional! There were some bumps in the road in the past. The entire team is just that; a team. I would even say more like a family. I am so impressed with all the positive changes and care that exudes from everyone. I hope this continues and I look forward to the continued collaboration from all. My Mom & I are so grateful for everyone.

Best of the best

This is a home. The people that work here are top line. Management is the greatest. Have a problem or you just need to talk she will always make time for no matter how busy she is. I had a problem here recently and before I could turn around twice it was no longer a problem and I’m as happy as a cranberry merchant. She let me know in no uncertain terms that I mattered. God bless her. The girls in activities are the greatest people. They keep us well occupied with activities and if you need special help they are Johnny on the spot to help. Housekeeping is great and so kind to us. [name removed] is mine and she takes wonderful care of me. she is a real sweetheart. The restaurant staff are wonderful. They have a way of making you special and I mean every meal. I haven’t met anyone that works here that I dont absolutely love. They are all special to us and I think they feel the same about us

Great place to live

Been here going on 3 years and have been very pleased. [name removed] the manager listens to any concerns you have and immediately takes care of it. The activity directors are the best. They keeps us well supplied with wonderful things to do and places to go. We have a great transportation driver that gets us where we need to be in a timely manner and he is so sweet to all of us. All these people make this an awesome place to live. I’m so glad I found it.

I am torn at rating overall.

My apartment, I like. I get good service with housekeeping and maintenance which is excellent and it is everything I want it to be. But the common areas are dreadful because of the acoustics. It makes socializing more difficult and almost impossible especially if you have a hearing problem both in the restaurant and upstairs.

Room for improvement

I’d like to say that our new director is great. I’m not happy that we can’t choose what we want on our salad. We need more activities, especially for people who don’t get out much. I wish they had the fall monitoring available again.

Misrepresented

Verena at Leander misrepresents the facility and is marketed in an untrue fashion. The Verena I signed a contract with a year ago is far from the Verena of today. Amenities that they freely market may or may not happen, communication from Corporate to Staff to Residents is lacking in many areas, the building has been neglected and there is constant issues with water, and now mold. For those who need transportation to/from appointments have to use Uber or a family member due to poor management of scheduling. Verena advertises as an Independent Senior Living facility, yet more and more dependent/memory care residents are being brought in. Beware, it’s not what is being presented!

Lots of possibilities

Verena is on the verge of excellence. It has the facilities it needs to be excellent. The staff members are hard-working and caring. However, management fails to provide the communication that would pull everything together. Transportation is unpredictable. This pulls other staff members from their jobs to correct this. So their jobs are not done as correctly or timely as it should be. Rules are not enforced consistently. Why have a rule that you can only have 2 pets if you’re going to allow 4? The food is not gourmet, but it’s perfectly adequate. You aren’t confined to eating at one sitting only. There is transportation—most of the time. An argument could be made that marketing has a fluid idea of what “Independent” entails. The main drawback is communication.
