Has room for improvement.
[name removed] does not participate much in activities. I visited with [name removed] yesterday and she tells me that food is good. She likes using transportation, she does not participate in activities. She wishes she did not have to move but cannot afford the rent and fees at higher rates. I am worried about her and also wish she did not have to move.

Great staff, maintenance is great, food is substandard
Moving in was A breeze maintenance was perfect. Staff was perfect. They have plenty of activities for everyone to join in people who live there are somewhat friendly. They want to engage and have future friends. The only thing is food is a big issue. The food is bland sometimes cold other times chewy, nothing taste the way it’s supposed to .

I am so happy to be living here!
My apartment is wonderful and more spacious than those at other independent living facilities. There are many activitiesI. I can do them or not. There is good entertainment too. The front person is so kind and good at what she does. and the driver will take you places like doctor appts. and is a nice guy. I enjoy meals with people. The meals are not good many days and there needs to be improvement. And they need a variety of veges, not just corn and carrots. I am still so pleased l to be living here!

Overall, it's nice. My mother is very happy, settled in, has met many people. She is happy and that is most important. Having your parent happy is the most important value a retirement community can achieve.

We're no longer in the community. My FIL passed away in February. We liked the piano/library room, spacious rooms, and the flexibility of bus runs to doctor appointments Based on the experience we did have, we would recommend this community to other families.

I would not recommend the facility. The staff and residents were very nice, but that is the only positive thing I have to say. The group that have the monetary decisions are are not forthcoming. Unless they have made huge advancements to invest in Madison Estates, I would not recommend it. They had three different chefs while I was there, but it wasn't the chefs that should have been replaced but better quality of food.

I find the staff attentive to problems and generally very patient and nice As far as activities go, I think they're doing a good job The food is ok, and frankly I wouldn't expect it to be exceptional, but maybe just not overcooking entrées would help a bit. I know it's difficult finding qualified staff in the hospitality industry I really like Madison, great environment, kept very clean, and it's very quiet and peaceful. Close proximity to hospital is great Clean halls, utility rooms and elevators is important to me and very neat grounds, properly groomed--available dog feces bags are really appreciated. The mail service is efficient and the whole facility, as far as I've experienced, is very neatly kept. Very much appreciated

Frequently Asked Questions
about Madison Estates

Madison Estates offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Madison Estates 9.3 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.
