Corinthian Village

I'm in the independent living community of Corinthian Village in Houston, and the people here are very nice. They don't treat you like you're old, and they're very respectful, so I can give them that much credit. They listen to different ideas we may have about things that we would like to do, and they pretty much support us in anything we ask. I'm in a 2-bedroom with one bathroom and a nice kitchen. I just need a lot more space when moving in from a house with a lot of bedrooms, so half of my things ended up back in storage. I'm using one bedroom as a kind of makeshift office, study room, and things like that. For the most part, I'd say it's spacious, although I have to get rid of some things. They have what they call an activity room. When we have any type of event, it holds everybody who's interested in coming, so we haven't had any problems since I've been here. We did a daytime pajama party, which was really exciting, and it was so much fun. They had games for us to play, and I'm not talking about just bingo. We have managers who made up games that we could play. The games were really interactive, and we had so much fun. We even had a karaoke one day. They keep us in activities that they think we may like and listen to what we would like to do. They have spiritual guidance, too, where people come for Bible study, so they try to open up to everything that everybody is interested in. To me, it would be an upgrade if they had somebody come in to just cut hair like a barber or a beautician. I think they're also working on opening a place for people who need a quick assessment when their blood pressure goes up or something like that. That would be an ideal thing to have. I stay all the way in the back of the place, and you're supposed to have a parking sticker if you're a resident here, but sometimes I have to park all the way in front and walk all the way to the back just to get to my apartment, because there are people parked all in the parking spaces. I think they need to go ahead and put a note that it's resident-only parking because I see a truck in there every now and then. Other than that, for the value of what I'm paying, I'm satisfied with it. I think the price is good for what they do for us.

I have only been living at the facility for three months and I am very pleased. The staff is very nice. The new manager has been very helpful and all the things that I’ve needed. I do see that there are activities being created. Very nice activities. I’m very comfortable in my space. The unit that I live in is very clean. The people around me are very pleasant, and it’s a very nice comfortable warm place to stay

Corinthian Village was very nice, quiet, and inviting for seniors. They do senior activities together. Their accommodations appeared to be nice. Due to COVID, the activities had been on pause, but they have a nice hall where they can come together, sit, and chat, and have dinner there if they want to on their own. The staff was very professional. I have no issues at all.

Elderly are wise

The managers of this property are rude. They are inflexible about everything. I visit my relatives here and always have an issue. Right now the gate is broken. I live in Pearland and a 1 bedroom near the Pearland Town Center is cheaper than Corinthian Village that has nothing nearby. My apartment has valet trash, a pool, a gym, a party room with free coffee/tea and tons of nearby restaurants and shops. Why in the world should Corinthian Village get away with charging seniors so much and giving them so little?

When the place was built I tried to move here and at was always at full occupancy. The management seemed nice and efficient. According to some of my friends who lived here the rules were actually followed and they felt safe. However, now that I am living here 10 years later, this place is horrible. The walls are paper thin. You can hear everything (walking across the floor, flushing the toilet, closing the microwave door) everything. It is not safe. The supposedly security brings their unsavory friends here all the time. They spend their time smoking in the parking lot with their visiting friends and talking on their phones. The hall ways are very dangerous because they are made of concrete and collects water from dew, rain, and sweat, whatever. I am always afraid I'm going to slip and break my neck. The place is very dark and dim. There are no activities. You are not allowed to use the community rooms for outside events. The assistant manager is very nice. However, the manager is very rude and disrespectful. She talks to the tenants as if they have tails and she always has the meanest look on her face. I have lived here two years and I have never seen her smile. This is supposed to be a place for 55 and older. However, you see teenagers, young adults, all kinds of people here on a regular basis. They actually use their key to get into the apartments. So what happened to the 55 and older? Management always has an excuse for why they are here. But if you ask too many questions, which happens to be one or two questions only. Then the manager avoids you are she is always too busy to talk. The computer room is nice and comfortable. The community rooms are just empty space. You can never use them. I wish we had activities, workshops, gatherings, something. I plan to get a part time job so that I can afford to move.

This is a very depressing place to live. I've been here 4 years and I can tell you it stinks. The hall ways are dark and look Ike crap. Nasty looking halls and there are absolutely no activities. No where to go, no bus service no anything. Like being stuck out in a field. Outlying section eight people and if you pay out of pocket it's way too expensive. The exercise room if you can call it that are empty.. even the snack machine stays broken and it's two bucks for a soda if there are any. Remember there's absolutely nothing here to do. You can't even BBQ . Think twice and also if your on the bottom floor it floods all the time. I would move but can't afford to move. Don't live in this dump!
