Senior Apartments
We chose Falcon Heights because of its appearance and friendliness of their staff. The community is really clean and very well maintained it looks as if it was freshly painted. There is no odor in the community. We had an issue with the apartment but called them and they sent someone out to take care of it and it was a Sunday, they have someone on call everyday. The community is really affordable; it is very spacious especially for the price. We are very happy we found Falcon Heights and would recommend them to anyone.
The person that I worked with to help get my uncle settled there (Melissa) was very helpful. There was a lot of communication back and forth and she was excellent. I was a little confused about some of the services they offer. For example, I thought they had the option for the residents to once a month or so take a bus to some local stores and other areas, but they do not. But it was still the best choice and my uncle is very happy there.
I would recommend this community it is a very nice place. I'am pleased with my move to this community. Everything is working out pretty so far. It is a good looking facility, they do a good job with the cleanliness. I happy with my move here, and I would recommend this community.
