Ecumen Seasons At Apple Valley Reviews

Anonymous
Verified Former Resident
“It wasn’t very well run. But it had a good, friendly culture.”

Summary of conversation

This former resident lived in independent living and says the community had a good, friendly culture, and they liked the other residents. They found it very expensive to pay for ancillary services they didn’t need, which they were paying for until they needed them. They say it wasn’t very well run: financial cutbacks left the staff barebones, people who left weren’t replaced, and there were absolutely no activities available. They also noticed that the lowest-paid staff spent the most time with residents, while higher-paid staff stayed in their offices. They moved out after six months.

What stood out

  • Friendly culture
  • Unneeded service fees
  • Thin staffing
  • No activities

Verified review: collected by phone by an Assisted Living Magazine Advisor after move-in. Reviewer approved how their name appears.
