Misrepresented
Verena at Leander misrepresents the facility and is marketed in an untrue fashion. The Verena I signed a contract with a year ago is far from the Verena of today. Amenities that they freely market may or may not happen, communication from Corporate to Staff to Residents is lacking in many areas, the building has been neglected and there is constant issues with water, and now mold. For those who need transportation to/from appointments have to use Uber or a family member due to poor management of scheduling. Verena advertises as an Independent Senior Living facility, yet more and more dependent/memory care residents are being brought in. Beware, it’s not what is being presented!

Verena is on the verge of excellence. It has the facilities it needs to be excellent. The staff members are hard-working and caring. However, management fails to provide the communication that would pull everything together. Transportation is unpredictable. This pulls other staff members from their jobs to correct this. So their jobs are not done as correctly or timely as it should be. Rules are not enforced consistently. Why have a rule that you can only have 2 pets if you’re going to allow 4? The food is not gourmet, but it’s perfectly adequate. You aren’t confined to eating at one sitting only. There is transportation—most of the time. An argument could be made that marketing has a fluid idea of what “Independent” entails. The main drawback is communication.

Great living, Great Food, Great Activities!
From the minute you walk into this facility, you feel right at home. I know that when my mom moved there she fell in love immediately with the caring staff, the amazing food and the wonderful living conditions. The activities at Verena are the best in the industry. They have consistently planned things to do throughout the day and even at night sometimes. Overall, I would give this place 10 out of 10.

Living in Verena
Staff here is excellent. They care and go out of there way to make sure we are comfortable and well taken care of. Corporate is another story. There are so many people who live here on a fixed income that can’t afford the Exorbitant rental increases that are being expected. There are so many people that are looking for other places to live and that’s a shame because lots of these people have lived here for years. We have a family and it’s a shame to see your family broken up over money when you can go up on the people that are coming in the new people you can charge anything you want. They don’t know anything different.

Amazing helpful and family environment
My mil was in a bad place and Verena was the perfect place to get her into. She loves the activities and the people it’s like the family away from family. The staff is so kind and welcoming. The food she looked forward to seeing what the chef made everyday and absolutely says it is always fantastic!

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re delighted that Verena at Leander has been the perfect place for your mother-in-law. It’s heartwarming to know that she feels like she has found a "family away from family" and enjoys the activities and company of other residents. We’re also thrilled that the kindness of our staff has made a positive impact and that she looks forward to the chef’s delicious meals each day. Knowing that she’s enjoying her time with us brings us great joy. If there’s anything more we can do to enhance her experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your kind words!

Great value for the area
The food has gone down in quality and they have some struggles with getting the transportation arranged for medical appointments. But overall they feel safe and it is a very clean environment! I think it's a good facility and the value for the area is great.

Best of the Best
Every community has its quirks and Verna is no different. However, the staff from management down to housekeepers are incredibly kind and consistently goes above and beyond. New Chef. His menu changed and took some getting used to but overall is very good. On Christmas, I had the lamb with delicious ruby quince bordelaise that was outstanding. You also had a choice of prime rib or turkey breast. Godly woman driver with kind touch. I am looking forward to new car since Tesla was in a fire. Great place to call home. I feel at home and would highly recommend.

A feeling of happiness and security
I’ve lived here since the fall of 2018 and have been content all those days. It isn’t a perfect place, but it is a safe place. Perhaps the friendliness of the staff is the most important factor to me; I know each one cares about me. The various services could be better. The maintenance could be completed faster. The transportation could be more prompt. The food service could be more palatable. The housekeeping could be a bit more thorough. Each service has room for improvement. Yet, this is my home and I plan to stay as long as I’m able to take care of myself. I would recommend Verena without hesitation.

Overall good experience so far with the Verena at Leander community. Staff turnover results in staff who want to help but don't know how. Food is very good but current chef is leaving soon. Can be slow to resolve issues.

Terrific staff and clean facilities.
While there are always a few glitches that come with apartment living, Verena has been very good to work with on resolving issues. Staff is super friendly and it's kept very clean. The restaurant could use a bit more variety and they do run out of the daily offering sometimes but there is always something to choose from that's tasty and certainly sufficient food is provided!

Buyer Beware
This place held great promise for my family upon visiting for the first time. We were wined and dined and told about all the good things. What we weren't informed of was the major construction project that would span for much of my family's lease term. The only thing luxury about this place is the price as the services are inconsistent, particularly the food service. Take a look at the menu and you will see items such as Asian Salmon and Pork Stew. Some mornings they don't even have fruit for the residents and they will say they didn't order any. The unit is decent but the construction is poor and walls thin. The place is filthy including the common areas and the kitchen. Employees constantly complain about their boss to the residents.

Response from Verena at Leander
January 27, 2023
Dear John, Thank you for leaving feedback with respect to your mother-in-law and father-in-law. We work incredibly hard here to make every resident's experience enjoyable and we're sorry we've not been able to meet your or your in-laws' expectations. I do understand your frustration with respect to renovations. This I thought was resolved in September of 2022 in conversations with our company. The renovations were necessary to refresh and expand the resident amenity space. I would love to send you photos of the completed amenity spaces thus far. During the Holidays, there were no renovations underway; however, Phase II will begin next week and include a kitchen expansion, adding additional seating, a fire pit, and outdoor kitchen to the pool deck, and the entry sign to reflect our new community's name following purchase in 2021. Written correspondence outlining every step of the renovations has been shared with residents and will continue throughout the renovation process. We anticipate a completion date of mid-March. A heavy continental breakfast is served each morning and includes fresh oatmeal with assorted toppings, freshly baked Danishes, hard boiled eggs, fresh seasonal fruit cup, hand-held fruit such as apples, oranges, & bananas (your father-in-law's favorite-strawberries are not in season currently but return in April), yogurt, assorted cereals and milk, toast, assorted juices, and coffee with flavored creamers. There is also a hot breakfast item each morning that changes daily and includes fresh baked quiche, a breakfast sandwich, biscuits & gravy, frittatas, et al hot breakfast items. Because everything we do is resident centric, we cater to our residents. Your father-in-law, for example, loves avocados and blue cheese crumbles on his daily salad so we keep those items in stock just for him. All common areas and amenities, including the kitchen, are thoroughly cleaned daily. Additionally, maintenance is onsite 7 days a week. Please reach out to me to resolve this as quickly as possible and find a solution that works for you. I would love to talk more! Lynn Frazier

Welcome home
I visited Verena at Leander with my mom. I was surprised that people living there would stop what they were doing to meet me and mom. We both liked knowing how personable and friendly everyone was. We had lunch as part of the tour. Mom loved the fresh salmon and mushroom risotto while I had a BLT sandwich (it was even better than I could prepare). Chef [name removed] popped out during the visit to make sure we were enjoying the meal. So glad mom isn't lonely anymore. She has friends to enjoy each day with.

A Place for Mom has scored Verena at Leander 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
