The Gables at East Mountain

After my mother moved out of her apartment in The Gables and into assisted living, my family spent more than $[removed] paying for a vacant apartment until it was resold. The contract says that you must pay the full monthly service fee for a vacant apartment, just as if there is someone living there, eating three meals a day and using all the services. My mother moved out before [date removed] and the apartment wasn’t sold until the following September. We paid almost $[removed] a month for the vacant space. Of course, we think some sort of minimum maintenance fee to keep the lawn mowed/roads plowed, heat on, would be fair. We think having to pay the full monthly service fee is unfair and greedy. Overall the staff giving direct service to my mother were great. The administration was difficult to deal with.

This is probably the nicest place in Rutland. It has a good combination of good staff and food, activities, and friendly people who live and work here. The staff are helpful and available for the family's questions or concerns. Housekeeping once a week, changing of linens, the apartment, utilities, delivery of meals due to the pandemic, transportation, and activities are included in the monthly fee. Some of the activities available include bridge, book club, exercises classes, and more are available for the residents to choose from. They have holiday celebrations as well. My loved one thinks the food is very good. They have menus for the residents to choose from a few nights before the actual meals.
