When I moved in the managers were here 24/7. That has changed for the worst! That was why i moved in. My apartment was cleaned every Thursday morning. I'm lucky if its cleaned at all! To much rice and pasta! Meals are slow, the problem is in the kitchen doesn't have enough help. When I moved in I felt it was like a cruise ship without the water. Boy, as it gone downhill fast!

Response from Holiday Stratford
October 19, 2021Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your comments. We are sorry to hear this was your experience at the Stratford senior living community. As our community is an independent living community, there is no requirement to have someone on premises 24 hours a day. Many of our residents have rated our meals as 5 stars and we do change the meal options daily. Please feel free to reach out to our management team at the Stratford senior living community to discuss your concerns further. Thank you
I have lived here for 9 months. It is perfect for me for this time of my life. The atmosphere is good. The staff is perfect, everyone that works here seems willing to go an extra mile to please.

The staff is friendly and very helpful. My problem is the food. Salt, salt, salt! We are all older and don't need that much salt. Some people have stopped coming to the dining room. They order food from outside. Residents who have been here several years have noticed a steady decline in the food quality.
I thought I was moving into a retirement home, but int he past 2 years it has turned into a nursing home with new residents they are bringing in.

I have lived here a long time. I like the people here. However we need food cooked better. Also we need house keepers. Recently, there has not been house cleaning in some rooms.

Friendly but insufficient staff. Front desk needs more coverage. The salads are good, especially on [date removed]. Colorful - plenty of chicken. Needs to be more nutritional - vegetables not overcooked. I question a meal of fried shrimp, fish, and hush puppies plus pit for desert. I would not give this info to my doctor. We are seniors - many in wheelchairs. Concentrate more on independent, healthy seniors.
I have always felt safe, wonderful, and happy at the Stratford. This past year has been a little different because of the pandemic but they have done all they could.
A good community before and after the pandemic.
Nice place but need some changes like country store started back up.

Is there anything specific that you can share that you think we could improve on? Please feel free to reach out to feedback@holidayseniorliving.com with any comments or concerns. Thank you again.
Nice place to live, but really needs a 'live in' manager or some kind of security. For People who have no means of having an income rent is way to high
Toured on 7/30/21 with [name removed]. She was very helpful and answered all my questions. The facility is very nice and the residents all seemed happy.

During the short time my parents were in here they enjoyed their time. We chose this facility at the time because of the value for the money and the needs that we had at the moment. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The residents were very friendly and my mom really appreciated that. It is a nice place I would recommend to others looking.

I would recommend you check it out. The value for the money, friendly staff is good. The rooms are nice with porches or decks and some have views of the woods. This is a huge plus for us.

The Stratford is a HORRIBLE place to leave anyone you care about. They talk a good story because they want your business. I went to check on my mom her first day there. They had told us someone would be assigned to help her get familiar with the place and activities. When I stop for dinner she I asked her how her day was and did she meet anyone to eat with at lunch. She said she had sat at a table with some people. I asked her didn't they assign you someone to help you get familiar with the place and she said no. I told her to get a table while I went to look for the manager. While I went to talk to someone my mom attempted to get a seat at a table but was promptly told to leave. Finally the manager showed up and said he would find the person who was supposed to help her and it turned out to be the table and people who booted her off the table minutes earlier. From there on out it was down hill. My mom told me of fights at the elevator because they have ONLY one for the entire place. And the person doing the fighting had already been kicked out once before. I was told of sitting for an hour waiting for someone just to take your order for breakfast, lunch, and dinner let alone the time it then took for them to deliver it. I heard of shouting matches in the dining area and no one doing anything about it. My mom had people pulling on her door trying to break into her place while she was there. We were told there was free wifi but not in the area my mom was so we had to order and pay for it. Unfortunately for most of the people there they should NOT be in an independent living facility. We moved my mom out right after the 3 months we were required to be there and the $3,300 we had to pay on top of rent to get into the place which they refused to refund. Run don't walk on by this place, again it is NOT some place you want to put someone you care or love.
