I chose Riddle Village LifeCare Retirement Community because they were more active there. They were very pleasant, there were lots of staff, and they seemed to be outgoing. I tried the food, and it was very good. They had a pool, gym, lounge, arts and crafts, and library. Excellent upkeep and cleanliness. It's all been refurbished, and it looked like it's pretty new.

My father was at Riddle Village for rehab after being in the hospital. The staff did not have a good attitude, probably as a result of being stretched too thin. Food was terrible, ice-cold, very small portions. My father could hardly eat it. I had to bring food all the time. I heard this roommate saying that he ate army food and that was bad, but this was inedible. He was in the nursing home part. They have assisted living there, too, and the food in the dining room and stuff were better there. It was more like a hospital setup. He had one nurse, in particular, that was very good, but the rest were awful. Overall, it was not a good experience going in there. They need to improve on their food and staffing. I think part of the problem with their staffing is they're just spread too thin. There were not enough people to attend to the needs of the patients. It was pretty clean.

I went to Riddle Village LifeCare Retirement Community. They have several units with different-sized living rooms. They have a larger living room, which is what I was looking at. It's a 22-foot living room. They have one and two-bedroom apartments, and both of those rooms were good sized. The kitchen was like a galley kitchen, but it's adequate and they have a counter where you could put your plates on. The kitchen is part of the room and then you have the living room. The staff was very nice, from the receptionist down. I even met the cook there. I looked at both independent living and the assisted living, and both of them will meet my needs. They have plenty of amenities. I like their library. They have a theater, a beauty shop where you can get your hair done, a gym, and a swimming pool. If you get one of the deluxe apartments, you can get indoor parking. They have a storage area where you can store things. They have a place for the doctors and nurses to come in to see you. They have several dining areas where you're seated as if you're going to a restaurant. You have someone that will sit you at the table. I didn't see that because of the pandemic and everybody was eating in their room. They had several dining options. They had a roofed outdoor place where you can have friends or you can go with other guests and sit on the deck. They had nice wood floors. The building was well kept. They have been there for a while.

My mother is in Riddle Village. They said that the apartment will be ready in 60 days and when she moved in, a number of things were not completed. They put the wrong carpet in and it's going to have to be redone. They finally got the knobs put on the bathroom and the kitchen. There were a number of things that were done incorrectly that she had requested and they are taking care of it slowly one thing at a time. They gave her a monetary compensation for having to live in a wrongly completed facility. The facility seems to be nice and the food seems good. The people there have been very nice. She had a meeting with some of the newer residents last night and she said that one of them mentioned that there's always something going on needing repair. They locked down the garage for the next three days because they were working on the garage doors, so she can't get her car in and out for three days. One of the nice things is there is parking inside that's underground, so she doesn't have to go outdoors to get to her car in bad weather. They have a lot of nice activities planned that you can join in on and several venues for eating arrangements. They have arts and crafts and musical venues at least weekly. They have things advertised in the elevator and they also have activities like going shopping, going to outside venues for lunch, and they go interesting places.

Things seem great on the surface, but look beyond the nice furnishings, fire pit, food or bar. Things seem OK while independent. Major trouble is when the full care services are needed. If you are moving there for the peace of mind that you or your loved ones will be taken care of the way you expect, please spend a day or two in Monticello House prior to your commitment. Check out where your money is going or being spent. Check the statistics on fee increases over the years . The fees go up with fewer services over the years. Check out 501c3's & executive salary trend over the years for management. See how many residents are paying extra money for outside services because the quality of care there is not what they expected. As a resident gets older the upkeep for the apartment that is supposed to exist becomes less & less. Housekeeping does not show up & apartment maintenance becomes a real struggle to get. The more family members complain the more unpleasant things become for the loved ones and family members. Please do your research before you commit to this "Life Care Community." Before you sign the Life Care Agreement, read it well or take it to a lawyer because they will always refer to this to a tee.

This facility is great if you are independent. NOT if you need any care at all. They will tell you they are over the states recommended requirement for staff. It is not enough, they are short handed. It use to be safe for your parent to have personal belongings, but now things get stolen. The administration say they will handle stuff but they don't. Many things get pushed aside and when you want them to replace anything that may be costly you better have receipts and they better have it on their inventory list or they will fight you to replace it. Don't want to give too much personal information due to the fear that they will kick my father out. DO NOT get a tour just go in and sign the register and make a name up then walk around the 4th and 5th floor to see what it really is like.
