I toured The Lexington Assisted Living. The person I talked to, a guy named Patrick, was very helpful. He answered a lot of questions, and he was very helpful. The least thing I liked about it was that it felt clean, but it was just older. It's older things when you walk through, otherwise, it would have been nice. The room that the staff showed us was a studio, the cheapest one. It was very nice. It had a nice shower and everything. It hadn't been cleaned because somebody had just left, but the staff wanted to show us what room it would be if we decided we wanted to do that. The common areas were nice, but they didn't have too many common areas. They have one area outside that is by a pool and a Jacuzzi, which probably wouldn't be used by a lot of the residents. They have a few places where you could sit, and then they have a nice area where they get together for a meal. It was a nice area. We met the cook, and that was nice. The dining area was a big common area. It had a lot of different tables for people to talk and have their meals and stuff. It was nice but it was just old. It wasn't new or fresh. The stairs and everything were scruffy, and the carpet wasn't the greatest. It was just old.

I toured The Lexington Assisted Living. When you walk in, it feels like a hotel. You see seniors of all different levels of mobility and cognitive health. They are sitting in the waiting room and walking around. I saw a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom. They both were unfurnished. I was a little surprised with the outdated sinks and bathtubs. I was also surprised at the condition of them. Otherwise, everything else was in nice condition in the shared areas and common areas. They had a really nice dining room. They had a really fun ice cream parlor with a jukebox. They had insignias on the wall for Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. I know that would be very relevant for my dad, who was in the Army. It would be a positive thing for him. They also have a really big recreation room, where they do bingo and things like that. It was pretty fun. There was not really a kitchen or anything. There was a sink and a counter in the room, and there may have been a microwave oven or something like that. They eat all their meals in the dining hall. The 2-bedroom was just really two rooms. There was not a separate living room, kitchen, or anything like that. Ashley was very professional and efficient. She knew everything really well. She called and followed up later.

I toured The Lexington Assisted Living. The staff was professional and friendly. The facility was clean. The space in the apartment was nice. But I did not like the fact that it only had a small fridge. The place felt more closed in. It had a swimming pool, which was nice. It had laundry rooms, but it did not have a desirable outdoor space. The only place to walk was on the very busy street. They had similar types of menu offerings. It was okay, but compared to the other place, there's quite a difference. It was in the lower end of the price range also. It was nice, but it wasn't great. It didn't feel homey. It didn't have the spacious feeling that the other place had. For example, they have a gathering area where the fireplace was, but it was directly across from the entrance and the counter where people went up and asked questions, so it was busy there. It would be hard to relax in an area that had so much traffic. The staff was good though.

This facility is extremely expensive and I would have thought the care would reflect the cost. It has not. I moved a family member there a week ago and have already arranged to move her. My family member went without medication for over 24 hours, was not bathed and was manhandled by a staff member that did not speak English and therefore couldn’t understand she was twisting my family member’s arm. When these issues were brought to the attention of management, they were rude and dismissive.

I toured all the levels of care offered by The Lexington Assisted Living. I was introduced to several people along the way through the tour and I found them very personable and outgoing. The person giving the tour interacted with the residents by first name as well as with other employees. As we were walking along, she would introduce me to them. So, I found it to be a lively, friendly facility. The facility was great. They had a full range of activities. There's a monthly schedule posted all over the place of what's going on and where it would take place. They have a theater, a game room, a library, a gym, and all kinds of activity areas set up and ready to cater to one's needs.

I did a tour of The Lexington Assisted Living. They were willing to work with me to try to help get my mom to a place. I thought it was OK. The rooms were small. They had a place for people to get their hair done, just minimal stuff. It looked pretty clean. The people didn't really seem that happy there. I said hi to several residents multiple times, and nobody responded back. When I went to view another facility, the residents there were extremely happy. I think that says a lot. I'm still considering placing my mom there because financially, they're willing to work with me. I'm not finding that very much in other places.
