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!... Read more

The Madison Estates was a very nice place. Everyone was very friendly to us. What we didn't like was the fact that we had to pay for 3 meals a day. My mother doesn't eat that much and we wanted a place with the option to opt out of it. Other than that, we really liked the place.

It's a mixed bag, but over all we are very happy with it. I absolutely love the staff! They are wonderful, they will absolutely do anything you ask. The building is old and don't have a lot of amenities that we are used to. It is also pretty small. The food is good, and all inclusive, and the grounds are beautiful, the look is very Mediterranean, with rolling hills and lots of levels. They have an on premise laundry so you don't have to go to a laundromat, and they are free to use. The atmosphere is very laid back, so it does take a bit for things to get done. It's less expensive than our old place, and they have a rate-lock available. The staff and management are wonderful, we absolutely love them, but they do have a bit an absentee corporate office, they declined some donations, which was odd to us. Everything is included, even transportation, which is really nice.

This community did not have a positive atmosphere. The dining room had set hours as well as assigned seats which my mother did not like at all. In her opinion, it did not feel like a comfortable retirement community. Her main complaint was also the taste of the food, it could use quite a bit of improvement. The staff was friendly and the overall maintenance did a good job.

November 30, 2016Hello there, we sincerely appreciate you reaching out and taking the time to review and tell us about your experience.

We also appreciate your kind words around our friendly staff and the good job by maintenance. Thank you very much for reaching out!
When i took a tour of the Madison Estates i noticed that there was a strong odor in the community. I felt that i received a fantastic tour. The person that assisted me with being able to see the whole place was attentive and knowledgeable. The communities prices were very affordable and overall it was a clean place with wonderful staff.

Everything is working out pretty good at the Madison Estates. They have been very accommodating to ensure I am comfortable in my new home. The meals served are very good. I'm enjoying all of the activities available. The community was more affordable for assisted living compared to others I visited in the area. A dishwasher in my unit would be very helpful to help keep the kitchen clean. There is a need for some redecorating in some areas where the walls look a little tattered.

The residents have all been so friendly that you'd think they owned stock in the place! So far I love it here. There are lots of activities, something for everyone. Music from the time when music was really music. We show great respect for our residents who are veterans to show our appreciation for their sacrifice. What's not to love?

My father has been here five years, and says that ever since Holiday Retirement got bought out, the food and service have become terrible. His biggest complaint is the food - dry, tasteless chicken most of the time. The menu choices sound great, but they are anything but. There is not much variety and the portions are small. He has lost significant weight over the last 6 months because he doesn't want to eat the food. He has even resorted to cooking for himself so he won't have to eat it. We've also had extreme difficulty getting the corporate office to sign the papers he needs to get his VA benefits so he can afford care for his increasing needs. Though the local management has been friendly and accommodating, everything has to go through the corporate office. We are very disappointed in this place, and are looking to move elsewhere.

January 14, 2016Hi, my name is Katie, I work at Holiday Retirement Home Office. First, I'm so very sorry to hear that your father is having a negative experience at the Marquette. These most certainly the sort of perception we want seniors and their families to have of our communities and we take concerns like these very seriously. I've escalated your concerns to our Resident Relations department for their review. I've asked that a member of their team call you personally, should you already have an open file. If you haven't called Resident Relations regarding these concerns, I strongly suggest you do so they can investigate further. Their number is [removed]. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention, Katie
There could definitely be some improvement with the dining hall and their services. There is just no variation with the food and my mother has complained about it just being the same thing over and over again.

It's very clean. The staff is very, very receptive and very helpful. Overall I enjoy it here. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because of the food. They are improving on the food though. I could see myself living here for a long time. Considering what's included the value is pretty good. Management is really good. They are wonderful. It has been a very good experience.
