Peoples Retirement Community

My husband moved into Peoples Retirement Community. The food is good and the environment is good. I just like it. The staff has been nice and they're doing their job. They do arts and crafts, bingo, movies and popcorn, and a lot of other activities.

They can’t keep employees, because they don’t pay anything. When my father first got there they were charging $4000 a month. The food was horrible. When questioning about the monthly bill, the only thing we heard was I’ll get back to you and try to fix it. That never happened. This place likes to promise a lot of things to their elderly residents ,but they do nothing that they say they’re going to do. My father died of Covid from that place after nine people had already gotten Covid. Thanks People’s retirement center. Please please research any place you are going to put your love one. Do not put them in this place. Hopefully this place will stay closed! Thanks Sydney, you’re a do nothing Overpaid admin. You should work in Health Care and learn real Compassion. What a sham this place is. Stay closed.

We went to the People's Retirement Community. She showed us the independent and the assisted living areas. It was very nice, it was clean, and they seemed pretty organized. They had activities for the residents while still observing social distancing. It's an older building, but it was clean. I would be happy with it. The staff seemed very knowledgeable. I think she may have been there for a while, she knows what's going on, and she's very pleasant and open to questions. We looked at a one-bedroom, and she explained how the single rooms are set up. It was very nice and very well done. They have a really nice lunchroom, the menus seemed great, they had a movie going in the activity room, and it seemed pretty large and very accessible.

I was shown a 1-bedroom at Peoples Retirement Community, and it was a good size. I was very impressed with it. They showed me all around the place, and I was very impressed with the warmth and the friendliness of the staff. A couple of people walked by (just people that worked there in some capacity), and they're very friendly and stood up and said hello. The lady who showed me around was very, very friendly and warm. She took a lot of time with us and answered all our questions. It just felt very homey there. However, I was a little bit disappointed with the outside because I didn't see a place to walk safely or somewhere to sit and gather. I didn't really think it was that warm and friendly.

Peoples Retirement Community is a terrible place. The rooms are cold and shabby. Everything is old. They have these garish two-tone blue walls, and everything is dirty. The staff ignores the residents. When I went on tour, when I walked in, the one attendant for maybe 12 people that were in there, the one caregiver was on her tablet at the table ignoring everyone. They sit out in a room by themselves with the TV on. There's no interaction and no games. There's nothing. The director who gave me the tour, it was very obvious, she hadn't been there for a while. She doesn't make a daily trip in to see everybody and say hi because one of the residents goes, 'OK, I haven't seen you for a while.' And she'll go, 'Oh, well, I've been busy.' The grounds were terrible.

The Community Relations Director is awesome and it shows that she cares about the residents and their families. The staff have gone beyond to try and make my mom's transition a good experience. Years prior to my mom moving there, my mom didn't drive and was pretty much homebound unless I took her somewhere. My mom has lived in the facility for about a month. During this time she has been attending most activities and interacting with the residents. According to the oncologist, my mom's time on this earth should be over soon so it warms my heart to see her experience a little bit of life outside her home and the hospital before that day comes. So far, I can say that this experience has been a blessing and I have no complaints.
