My sister in law is a senior and unable to live on her own. She has been a resident at Promenade at UP for over 2 years and is thriving there. She has a new sense of independence and has made many friends. It has been a life changer for her. All the staff we have dealt with are helpful and supportive. She is very happy there

I visited this facility
Promenade at University Place used to be the old Best Western Hotel that was converted into a senior living place, and that's exactly what it is. It looks fine to me, but where my mom is right now is much nicer. It was an institutional kind of place, but it was well-maintained and it was nice for what it was. The two ladies I met were very nice as well. They did everything they could to answer my questions. The dining area was also nice and clean. They filled in the pools and made an outdoor setting for them, then they also play bingo, watch movies, and play all kinds of games.

I visited this facility
I toured the Promenade at University Place and this building was repurposed. It used to be the Best Western Hotel. It's five stories and the layout hasn't changed so it's got long, long hallways and there's no community area. What they've done was, they've taken a function room to try and use it for other things like for activities, but you feel very isolated there. There is no sense of community and out of the capacity of 200 residents, I think they said they have 50 right now.
Another thing is the pricing, you have to pay an entrance fee upfront, but the rooms were good and nice. It's furnished and wheelchair accessible. The lady who showed us around was the marketing director and she was very nice, very polite, and very informative. The overall tour was good. The dining room is down on the first floor too. So, if you're on the upper floors and want to come down, they have a limitation on how many people you can get into the dining room due to COVID, maybe two people, so you'd have to wait and wait to get downstairs.

My in-laws moved into Promenade at University Place and the community is awesome. The staff is good so far, and the food is excellent. The dining area is really very cozy. They have enjoyable and numerous activities, they play bingo, watch movies, and so on. I would rate the food a five because everybody raves about it, including my husband.
