St. John Towers

I did go down to St. John's Towers, and that's the only place I've actually been. I went there many times when my mother lived there. I liked visiting there, and the people who lived there were very, very nice. On my tour, the staff was very, very nice and took me up to the 13th floor and let me look at an apartment. Their demo apartment was very nice, and the people down there were very nice, even when my mother lived there. The drawback was that the elevators are so small. They have two of them, but they are really small. The first floor has the dining room, the exercise room, and places you can sit and talk, and everything to visit downstairs. They do six meals a week. Every day, they do a lunch meal except Saturday, you're on your own, but it's really crowded to try to get all those people downstairs. My mother lived on the 13th floor, and I know it took a while for the elevator to come up there. They have to close one off when people move in or move out. They have a beauty parlor. It has a place where you can buy food. They have trips on the bus. They had a bus that took the residents to different places if they didn't have a car. I have a car, so they were going to give me a parking pass to park down there in the facility. There are no hookups for a washer and dryer in your apartment, but there is a washer and dryer, like a little laundromat, downstairs. They have a little library, a game room, and they have lots of seating where you can just sit around and visit. They had dances and things like that. They had a church service down there on Sunday. It was basically the same as when my mother lived there, but it looked like it had been enlarged. They had an outside place that was screened-in, and it was really big. It's very clean and very nice.

I went to visit St. John Towers about 2 years ago to look at their independent living for myself. I enjoyed the walk-through, and I liked the small apartments. The kitchenette was also nice and I was pleased with it. They served one meal a day and I think it was breakfast that they served early in the morning. The staff who showed me around was very kind. The apartments they had were 1-bedroom ones, that had one bath, a kitchenette, a living room, and a dining room area. I was pleased with them. However, it was the price that I was not happy with.

I love living here. The residents and staff are caring and friendly. There are alot of activiies from line dancing to bingo, excercise classes to wellness classes. It is a diversed community. My dog with me and my car is in a well lit parking lot, with security, cameras. The St. JOHN tower community can fill your spiritual, social and mental health exceptations. And because the walls are ciderblock, fire is not a predominant worry. I feel very safe here and II really do not think I can find a better value anywhere else.

I checked into St John Towers. It was in my price range, but it was too far from my house. I didn't like it. It seemed like an apartment building with cement walls. They only had one laundry room and it was not a good laundry room at all. They definitely need to update the building and the grounds. The staff was really good, they answered all my questions, they were accommodating, and friendly. They only offer their residents one meal a day. The parking was ample, but it was confusing at first.

St. John Towers is in a very questionable part of town concerning safety there have mutable assaults and shooting just blocks away, parking is inadequate. Security is average. People approach you for money in the parking lot. Workers need more supervision issues are not addressed such as the cleaning in general. Also supposed to be a senior apartment not a nursing home. People in wheel chairs hit the walls that are not repaired promptly. There are only 2 elevators for that large place long wait especially if someone is moving in or out or a special event. I will not live there.

I would be moving to St. John Towers on Tuesday. The staff was very good. The apartments had a living room, a separate bedroom, a nice size bathroom, and a little area for a kitchenette with a little area where you could put your table and chairs. They had a stove and a refrigerator. They served meals 6 days a week. They had so many activities every day. They would take you on shopping trips and to your doctors. It was really great, and the people were so friendly. I was not able to eat there, but they gave me a sample menu, and it looked really great. They had a security guard there 24 hours a day. They also had a system for you to use, they would put it on your neck, and they a thing on the wall that you could pull when you had a problem. They also had a button that they would push so they would know that you were there. I was impressed by the residents there who were so outgoing and kind. They said I would like it there. It was fantastic and I was so blessed. They even had an aviary where they had different birds. It was just super and more affordable than the other places that I looked at.
