    My dad made the leap into assisted living after a few years of touring many places with bleak…read moreconditions. Moving into Arbor Village has been the best decision for him! His quality of life has completely changed now that he's making new friends, staying busy with activities, and our family has peace of mind knowing he has care available.

    My mother-in-law has the beginnings of alcohol dementia. My wife and I were looking for an assisted…read moreliving facility and talked with Shauna at Arbor Village about her. We gave Shauna every detail possible about my mother-in-law's condition and after checking a few other places, decided to take her for an evaluation to determine the care needed. We all agreed on level 3 care with Jennifer the head nurse. We moved her in after a week or so and my wife stayed for a couple of days to help her get used to her new environment. My mother-in-law is prone to falling and did so on her second night in the place. My wife pushed her emergency button on her arm. After about 20 mins my wife went to go see if someone could help. There was no one around to be found and it took over an hour and a half for someone to come check on her. By then my wife was already able to help her back to bed. It seems like the nurses did the bare minimum for my mother-in-law the whole time she was there. At Thanksgiving we decided to see if wanted to come stay the night with us and have dinner. We brought her home and realized during that entire two weeks there that they had not bathed her at all because, she smelled really bad and when asked why, we were given the excuse that there was a bandage on her arm. We decided to bring my mother-in-law home for good and put in notice to quit. when I went to get some of her things to bring home the nurses told me they were concerned about her wine drinking. I let them know that Shauna and Jennifer were made fully aware of my mother-in-law's condition, but I have the feeling they were just working on damage control. We are currently looking for legal advice on this situation. Please DO NOT bring your loved one to this place!! The sales pitch is amazing but, they absolutely do not do the things they say they do. The monthly cost for this care that we paid 2 months' worth on was $7,800.00 They need to get the people better help in this place for sure.

In the past, it faced…read morechallenges in recruiting and retaining quality staff, as well as maintaining strong tenant engagement. However, it now benefits from a dedicated and compassionate team that genuinely supports residents. Notably, the property has introduced complimentary meals--an important improvement from the previous requirement for tenants to pay. Additionally, management has taken a proactive approach in addressing residents' needs by connecting them with food resources and even preparing hot meals on-site. Im Thankful I stuck it out its such an awesome place to live.

The staff of the facility treated her wonderfully and she absolutely loved living there. She enjoyed the amazing meals the chef provided and he would even fix something she requested! The management always provided incredible service, above and beyond what was expected. She enjoyed getting to know the other guests and delighted both staff and residents when she would sing as she strolled through the facility. If she needed anything, all she had to do was ask and the caring staff would help her. I recommend Radcliffe Place as a perfect place for a Independent senior to live. Great company, great perks, wonderful meals, and nice outings.

I was impressed by the staff's quick responses to emails and their patience with us as we floundered around not knowing what was going to be best for dad. Shout out to Jodi and Ollie, who took us on many re-tours and answered all of our questions. I especially wanted dad in the memory care at Chateau. It seemed like the right place for him. We were ready to move him in and our lives took a shart turn and he did not move in. But, our experience with the staff and their concern for what was best for dad needed to be acknowledged. Thank you!

The staff immediately provided the help I needed to get settled into my life in my new studio. The assistance in my activities of daily living has been of great importance to me in regaining my independence from the need for around-the-clock nursing support in the skilled nursing home where I had been living. I enjoy the available activities for me to get involved in and the delicious meals. My new independence is precious to my family and me.

    At 3.5 years or residence, I am still satisfied with my apartment, the maintenance support, the…read morefacilities and the activities. My wife and I live in the largest independent living apartment (3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1810 sq ft) and we require very little support so I can't comment on negative comments made about catered living, memory care or health care. We have not used any of these facilities. We continue to be critical of the food and service in the dining room during our one meal a day. While the food has improved somewhat since we moved in, many of the dishes are bland and boring and the dining room is perpetually short staffed. The young (teens and early 20s) servers work hard but there are not enough of them and they are by no measure professionals. The pay is not good enough for that. There is a curious difference in the food service options between different accommodations. Independent living arrangements not attached to the Gardens building are not required to have a food plan but they can pay by the meal if they choose. Gardens Building residents cannot drop the plan. At one time I explored trying to get out of the 1 meal a day plan but that option was not available. In reality, I don't want to cook 7 days a week even though I have a lovely kitchen. Everything I have said in prior reviews still applies. The dining room service still earns a C and the health inspection grade is just "Good" a value that has not changed since we got here.

Complaints among many employees flow like water from a dam that's burst, however, positive feedback is enforced with penalties if an employee doesn't post at least 3 a month. Residents and their families have voiced concerns over rising costs contrasted by less staff and longer wait times for assistance. The food served to the residents is dismal. At breakfast, the food is either burnt or gelatinous from sitting in a pan too long. Bistro food is good, aside from the stale desserts. The food served to the memory care residents is low quality and and difficult for them to eat it. For being a Christian based company, why does it feel like it's ... not..

Must be fired immediately. I applied on June 25th 2026 and spoke directly to Tonya the manager. I followed up with Tonya on Monday June 29th 2026 and Tonya told me that I was approved. She wrote the mailing address on a sticky note in order to change my mailing address which I did effective July 20th. She said the apartment is not ready as it needs paint and a few fixes. On June 30th 2026 I met Bingrong on Facebook dating app and met in person on July 2nd. On July 29th I took my fiancé Bingrong to see if she likes the apartment. Upon touring the apartment it was still under construction because their maintenance guy quit. Tonya suggested to see a different apartment that was ready and it didn't have steps to accommodate my disability. We took a look at it and we liked it. I was concerned about potential problems with my mail but Tonya said she will talk to the mailman and he will switch the apartment numbers. Tonya provided Bingrong with my application in order to add a second household member and send the application to see if she qualifies. The manager said Bingrong must submit the application by 7:00am on July 30th which is the day to move in. We submitted the application around 11:00pm on July 29th. I called on Thursday July 30th to find out if she reviewed Bingrong application. Tonya said she has more important stuff to do and added that as far as she is concerned I don't have an apartment anymore because I didn't disclose my wife name on the application. I told her that I never met Bingrong until July 2nd. I said I never new Bingrong at the time of application. Also, I said that Bingrong is not my wife yet and we are planning to merry on August 4th. She said I lied therefore, no apartment for me. I told her that I already gave my 20 days notice and July 31 is my last day at Meridian Court. I told her that I will be homeless because of her illegal and unethical action. She said it's not her problem and I said see you in court. I also told her that I was already approved and she could just refuse to add Bingrong.
