They are very knowledgeable very friendly and always ready to help. Amenities are great and many to choose from. Apartment sizes are small so you don't need much. Everything is free like laundry everything is free. Movie night, exercise classes, trivia game nights, so much more.

Emerson South Collins
The breakdown towards my mom and them at the end I'm not sure who's fault it was everybody's or nobody's or what. But I would not recommend it, the food, the service. She was left two or three times waiting for appointments and the driver either left her or didn't show up. She was not happy there but she's not very happy. She was just so angry and unhappy and I wasn't around at that time so I don't know. But all the things I did do, you know finding her the place, moving her in there, the amount of times I had to go speak to them, I'd say a three. And the only reason I give him a three is because of the manager they had working there before, and this is between you and me. She quit and called me we had our personal cell phones had become kind of friends and she said boy the things they're changing. I'm going somewhere else. The meals changed and became worse, they had sandwiches in the afternoon or hot dogs it was just bad. Just time to go. I'd make the score lower if it hadn't been for the manager that was there and was so kind. But who has a driver that drives off and leaves people with appointments. It took me going up there and talking to the manager about it after it happened a couple times before anything happened. It was like nobody cared you were there sorry. But you know a lot of old people don't follow through on that kind of stuff and that's what they hope you know but when you got family you better watch those. The third floor was nauseating. You go up there and it's like where they have the people that need help and it smelled like bleach and death and stink I don't know how to explain it but it was just awful. We went up there once looking for coffee cuz of course it was out on her floor and definitely never went back.

Ate in the dining room. Food was cold, bland and skimpy. Dog urine on the hall carpets. Drab colors. Reminded me of a nursing home. I'm not going to go with this place. Not all that impressive to me.

Not what it used to be
I used to love this place. But most all the key people have left for other jobs. The new ones are not like they were. They used to make us residents feel important and needed. Now we're just treated like a number of bucks we pay for the crappy food and occasionally cleaning lady, that thinks she's in charge in my apartment.

I was very impressed with this property. There were a lot on activities and amenities for the residents. [name removed] was extremely helpful the entire time. We ultimately did not move to the property because of my mother's need for assisted living vs independent. But I would certainly recommend.

It's a very nice independent community
It's a great community, have made many friends here... the food is good, with large portions, the only problem I have is zero visibility on my money. The thing that I can't handle is I told mgt to hold out my rent on [date removed] it sat in my account for 10 days. This is unacceptable.

This was an easy process and fairly quick and easy to get mom moved in. She seems comfortable and happy which was our goal. The staff was very helpful in seeing to some adjustments to the floor that we had concerns with. They are very accommodating and understand we want the best for mom considering she is use to being very comfortable

Not what was promised
Overall experience I'm going to give a three, because they went off and left her twice for doctor's appointments downstairs. One day the guy didn't even show up. My mom didn't say anything when I called, management knew nothing about it. How can you have a driver no show for scheduled runs in the morning and nobody knows about it. Anyway, they double deducted her money once and I had to get on them about that. So I'm not real sure if someone living there her age has issues if anyone would catch them. The cleanliness is okay, I don't really see any issues. But the third floor smells awful. We went up there for coffee one day because her area was out and it's like a nasty hospital or something I don't know it was bad. She says the food is no good, I went there one day for lunch with her and we had hot dogs on bread with homemade chili and tater tots. The day we were there for our preview I asked her why in the world they were serving 70 80 and 90 year old people corn on the cob? I mean that's what we were served for lunch was Shepherd's pie, a roll, corn on the cob and a cookie. Seems like an awful waste to me. The staff member I originally dealt with has left, and only had poor things to say, but of course that would probably be expected. But she said none of the things that they had promised the residents or had been promised had happened with the new ownership so she moved on. Value for the money I'd have to say is probably pretty good cuz you get what you pay for right. Anyway, do what this is you like, she wants out of there, but I don't think she'd be happy anywhere. Oh one more thing I forgot, her smoke alarm didn't work for the longest time. The one in her kitchen I think I'm not sure. She called him and call them and finally the lady said you only need one smoke alarm in your apartment you'll be fine. Well she's 89 years old, and that is not the case. My husband is a firefighter, I called them and said you get in there and you fix that smoke alarm because of my mom has a fire in the kitchen and she's in the bedroom asleep number one she won't wake up and number two there's no way out. They fix the smoke alarm but again why have somebody else have to call when she's telling you my smoke alarms not working, over and over again. She knows now, just to tell me when something is wrong or needs to be handled and we'll get it done.

Wonderful new home
Emerson has been a wonderful place for my mom. The staff are beyond amazing and the other residents are warm and all care for one another. Could not have chosen a better place for her to be! I am sure there are fancier and more luxurious places but sometimes it is about the people and at Emerson the people really make the difference!
