Housekeeping for residents is minimal, and staffing levels are variable. When Dad first moved in they didn't have a functioning bus for six months, and once they finally got it fixed it was three or four more months before they could hire a driver for it.

Response from Sterling Place
July 10, 2024We are sorry you did not have a completely positive experience. Sterling Place is very affordable with (2) meals provided daily, all utilities, all activities, a 14-passenger bus running (3) days per week, gentle housekeeping every (2) weeks and a Life Alert pendant, all part of the rent where other communities are an al la carte system. Since WellQuest took over last October, we have added amenities as well as the services offered. We now offer 75% more activities than in 2023 as well as resident outings. Although we did not have a bus the first couple of months, we did have a (7) passenger vehicle available to all residents 3 days per week as promised with no interruption in service to our residents. As of January 1, 2024, the change to the housekeeping and meals plans resulted in a decrease in the rental amounts paid by every resident. We invite you to come speak to us so we can further assist with your family member or help explain the changes that took place.
Well it's ownership changed hands, so they do things a little different than at first. It's not assisted living for seniors anymore. It's just straight senior citizen living. Now my dad needs to be back at home to have around the clock supervision. So we're in the process of moving him back to his house. My dad finally started being ok with being there but he was mad at first he didn't want to be there! Now we're trying to get him out of there and it's hard.

June 4, 2024Sterling Place has always been an independent senior apartment complex and we're sorry to see anyone leave us. We truly care about our residents and their wellbeing.
I actually was acting telling a good friend about it yesterday, how it's a nice place. It is very clean, very nice, the staff is nice and there is a pleasant atmosphere.They do a lot of activities there. They are doing some remodeling, so it's looking good. Also, they do wellness checks which is really good. I would recommend this place to whoever that's looking for a seniors place to live.

Around this time last year, Sterling place wasn't the best but it had a manager that cared, interacted with residents and song happy birthday to them in the dining room. I no longer see him, I'm assuming they ran him away. This place has really went downhill. Many mornings it has been McDonald's for breakfast and they promised an executive chef. The team is so rude.... The leasing agent and a skinny young man that says he the manager....looks too young tho... They seen my mother in the lobby one day and yelled "Have you gotten your eviction letter yet" my mother was so embarrassed, called me crying. I have now gotten her out of there!

June 5, 2023Michael, we're sorry you experienced this but since WellQuest Living has taken over management as of last October, things have gotten so much better. If we can assist you in any way, please reach out to us.
Based off of what I have heard things are going well. The location of the facility is great. Staff seem to be receptive to conversation as well. I would recommend Sterling Place to others looking for independent living.

Holiday Sterling Place community has worked out good for our loved one. We have found the staff members there to be excellent and based on our experience we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.
This community has been ok so far, we're still trying to give them a chance. The activities were better when my loved one first moved in, but they have decreased. It seems like the Director is there sometimes and then other times not so much. The food has changed. I would have rated it at a 5 before, but it seems to be higher in sodium than it used to be. The kitchen staff is nice and always pleasant. I have recommended this facility to family and friends. There was a flood recently and my loved one is misplaced, but we're hoping things improve soon. I know it takes time!

February 14, 2023Thanks for reaching out and telling us about your loved one’s experience. We appreciate your referrals. I’ve shared your comments with our Assistant General Manager and she would like the opportunity to speak to you directly about your feedback. Can you email the best way to contact you to CustomerService@AtriaSeniorLiving.com? I’ve also forwarded your message to our Regional Culinary Director, so he can make sure the kitchen staff has the support they need to best serve our residents.
They are short-staffed and transitioning in ownership/management. It really requires advocacy and persistence on my part. They do provide structure in terms of meals and weekly cleaning for my loved one. And it's a safe place.

I didn't care for the secure area for the memory care residents.
Response from Sterling Place
October 27, 2022Thank you for reaching out. We take this concern seriously. Is it possible you have us mistaken for a neighboring building with a similar name? We do not offer memory care services. If you'd like to personally speak further, please email resident.relations@holidayseniorliving.com.
I toured Sterling Place and I did not like it. The facility was not nearly as clean as others that we visited. It was also very loud and there was not a lot of privacy for the residents.
Response from Sterling Place
October 24, 2022Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. It's important to us. We set a high standard for delivering the quality service Holiday by Atria is known for.
They are in need of a lot of improvement. There are significant staffing issues causing facility, food, and cleanliness issues. In need of a significant management overhaul. Cooks sometimes do not come to work so tenants do not receive planned meals on schedule. Recently learned of bed bug issues from separately paid care givers, the facility never notified us, despite us being the legal care & estate managers for our mother.

Sterling Place is a great place to go; a very clean and safe community. however, there is some room for improvement in a few areas. when we moved my loved one in, we had to use broken down shopping carts and a homemade dolly cart (made of wood and tape). I almost hurt myself while using the dolly. they could benefit from replacing their equipment, as it would significantly help the moving in process. they also need new carpet inside and new paint on the walls. some of the wall repairs weren't done correctly, so it does look a bit tacky in some areas. it's a clean place, it just hasn't been updated in a long time. my loved one is also suffering from the heat in their apartment. we brought this to the attention of the maintenance man [name removed]; he said the boiler downstairs may be broken. I'm unsure if anything has been done about it yet, as I haven't visited in a little while. aside from those things, it's a great place. I have told other people about the value for cost and that it's a good place to live. [name removed] is outstanding! she is just fantastic and is worth her weight in gold! she knows everyone by name, she should be running the place. she has such an outstanding personality! kudos to her.

Sterling Place is an older facility. There has been some changes in management recently and they have had issues with maintenance and housekeeping and stuff like that. The residents have gotten a group together to bring some of these issues to upper management. She said the food is pretty good. We are hoping to see some improvements soon.

April 1, 2022Troy, We value your feedback at Sterling Place. We have shared your comments with local and regional leadership and are available directly at Feedback@HolidaySeniorLiving.com, if you have future concerns.
We can't seem to get our loved one's rent processed correctly. They're overcharging, and we can't seem to get the money back. They're holding it in some type of escrow account instead o applying it to her rent, which is very frustrating. Other than that, it's a very nice community with a good atmosphere. The building is spacious. They have great activities. And the staff is very nice.

This was a good community it was just too far in location and I wanted my loved one closer to where I live.
Our family had an in person tour and the experience was fine but we ended up choosing another facility because they were able to accommodating all of our loved ones specific medical needs.
They have hired a new chef that was taken over and the meals and dining service and the process of their menu is much more consistent. The people we met with on the tour and the sales people were very helpful and outgoing.
