Perspective of a resident's daughter
The apartment is good size with good layout for single occupant and good kitchen appointments. The food leaves a lot to be desired and they have had a couple health department troubles in the last 4 months, cleaning is supposed to happen every two weeks - this has been unreliable. There have been several days with no hot water. Rear facility doors are dilapidated and not ideal for individuals with mobility limitations

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 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

A Place for Mom has scored Emerson South Collins 9 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.
