Glendale at the Mansion Senior Apartments

Mae

Glendale at the Mansion Apartments is a good place. I've been a little disappointed, but they had a change of hands as far as management goes so they're trying to clear up any problems that we had in the past. But as far as the apartments are, they're fine. We do all of our own in the apartments and they do the maintenance. Now that they've changed management, the staff is getting better. It was a little slow but I know they're working out and it's just getting better. The activities are organized usually by residents who have committees and they do have good things like Friday morning coffee, you know, things like that. They have different things and activities that have been helpful to get to know each other, and it's a very close community. They also have a pool, a library, and a community room where they have potlucks and other functions. They're even equipped with vending machines if somebody wants to get a snack or something. The activity is more motivated by the residents that helped do a lot of the things, everything from a movie night to whatever it may be. We have a potluck once a month, they usually furnish the meat and the residents bring the other dishes. So they usually have their hands on everything and coordinating things, but the residents do a lot of volunteer work to make things work. They're now renovating a lot. This place has been around for about 30 years now. When someone moves out, they redo the apartment as far as carpeting and paint. We have good parking, but we don't have garages. They have an exercise room where they can go or they have chair exercises for the seniors.

Glendale at the Mansion Apartments is a nice place, and they have nice people living there, but it needs some restoration. They don’t provide the food here. We buy and cook our own food. There is one lady staff member that’s very nice and very helpful, and there's one that not quite as helpful. If you want something done, you have to call three or four times before it gets done. The place is clean. For something as old as this community, it's pretty OK. They have a lot of activities here, such as different card games, Bingo, potluck once a month, and crafts.
