Review for Emerson South Collins
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.

Easy to get things started with all questions answered we had. Staff was so helpful and Kind!
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

Nice place, food needs improvement
The staff is mostly friendly and helpful. I have been here I full year today. There have been a lot of people left and replaced. The food quality has been decreasing very bad lately. If they get the food fixed it would be a nice place.

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!

Great so far…
Terri with a Place for Mom, [name removed] the Leasing Agent, and surely [name removed] the GM have all been exceptional. Facilities, services, and cost factors have all been great. Somehow everything even on par with locations that my Dad had previously. Reminded of Avalon, versus places like Arlington Autumn Leaves and Fox Run. Several visits over the past few months have led me to believe that we got it right from the start this time.

My experience
I've lived here for eight months. When I first moved here the dining experience was good. But now I'm spending one hundred fifty dollars a month on groceries. Transportation is ok but in my opinion limited. Housekeeping is performed every two weeks instead of weekly as stated on Emerson's website. Maintenance is ok but there are washing machines in the laundry room that have been out of order for two months and dryers for six months. If I'm around in this coming February I'll be moving.
