Madison House

Madison Avenue House was a very nice facility and a convenient location for getting to everything. The apartments were too small for me, though, and not updated enough. The staff were lovely people and the community itself seemed very vibrant with people coming and going. The woman who took me on the tour was a very sweet gal, and I really enjoyed the tour. They seemed charming and very engaged.

My wife's sister has a place at Madison House. We haven't visited it inside, but we visited her outside. It's a good location. She likes it. It looks very nice outside. It's very clean. The location is very good. They have meals and I heard that they're very good. I haven't seen a room, but my sister-in-law seems very satisfied with her room. The residents seem to have the opportunity to get out and walk around a bit. The building looks in good shape. It is very convenient to some of the highways in that area. The place is also fairly new.

My mother is doing well in Madison House. The overall facility is beautiful, and they offer quite a few services, but things are a little expensive. They are given three meals a day, they're nice meals, and good meals, but sometimes my mom doesn't need all that food, so she saves it and eats only two meals a day. A meal option would be nice, but other than that I feel like it's a very nice place. She likes it there, but it's a little big for her, so she gets a little lost. People direct her where she needs to go, and people come in and help when she needs help, but it's not as prompt as we would like.

Madison House had formality to it, which might be appealing to some folks who like a country club feeling, but for me, it was very stuffy and out of sync with the generation that they would need to be serving soon. It was more elderly in feeling and clientele than the other two places that I saw. The environment looked like it was a used up nursing home as opposed to independent living condominiums that happened to be for older couples or older individuals. I tasted the food, and it was awesome. Their dining room was very nice.

Madison House is a wonderful place. They have a little pool and hot tub, lovely gardens, and nice, clean apartments. We had a meal there, and it was very well served. It's a great place in a perfect location right across the street from Evergreen Hospital. They have a van that takes them around to doctor's appointments and that sort of thing. They have a little theater, lots of rooms for cards, pool table, and a library. All the facilities are really good. It's too expensive, but it's lovely.

I’ve been to Madison House a lot because many of my friends have moved in there as they aged. I wouldn’t mind moving in there myself, but it’s the most expensive, and I would feel that I was living above my means if I lived there. I have eaten with them often through the years and even without my friends. They’re just a congenial bunch of people. The food is excellent, although they serve a certain entree at every meal, so you don’t have a lot of choices. The food is good but prepared for generic tastes. The rooms are clean and well-maintained. The staff is great, very friendly, and wants to do what you need done. It helps that they have a real swimming pool in the basement and a hot tub as well, and a family atmosphere.

We’re going to use Madison House because it’s very good and has a very well-equipped gym. I think everything’s going to be very good.

I visited Madison House. The appearance was good, but I did not care for the room because it was too small. The staff was wonderful. I liked that they had a swimming pool and a hot tub. I liked the dining room because it was new, and it was very modern. However, the building was very old, and it was being updated. I had eaten there, and the food was good. The activities that I saw were very good. It was just in the wrong location for me.

Madison House was a little too fancy, and my grandma was more of a homey old style kind of girl. It was beautiful, but it was not what we were looking for. Everything was really nice. There was no smell or anything. The only thing was that we had an appointment with them, but when we got there, there wasn't anyone prepared. We ended up waiting for 15 minutes, and we had to make it quick. Then we went back with my mom and grandma; that's when we realized that they were too fancy, and it didn't made her feel like home. However, it was nice, and the people there seemed nice too. It was a very elegant place and good place to visit. I guessed it was very TLC. All the rooms were very perfectly put together, and they were very beautiful. I liked the rooms, but it was just too much for my grandmother.

Dirty, smelly and depressing. I understand that they are in the middle of construction, but at the price they are asking, this update should have been done 20 years ago. Very sad place. Not once, did the man giving the tour say hello to a single resident. Shame on him. We will be going elsewhere.

Madison House was a nice facility. The people that gave us the tour were wonderful and did a good job. The woman in the restaurant was wonderful too. It seemed very nice and doesn’t smell like old people. People decorated their doors individually. The food was good. This was quite large and quite established, and they were ready to undergo some renovations.

It's a very lovely place with nice views, & convenient to get to. It features a very nice Arts & Entertainment program, with musicians and entertainers of all kinds.
