Despicable treatment of seniors
The manager and assistant manager do not help either the staff or the residents. For example, we wait over an hour to be served meals. While they are under staffed, the manager and assistant manager are supposed to lend a hand, but they don’t. The food is sub par. I ordered the scrambled eggs and they’re runny and raw. I ordered the banana muffins and they’re served yellow and under cooked. I ordered the burger and it is like a hokey puck. The chicken is rubbery and the fish is under cooked. The cleaning staff is very good. The maintenance staff are quite good and fast. They activities offered her a good, so is the library. But, in my opinion, the food is an edible and manager staff is [name removed] in route to the residence.

A Great Choice
My loved one is really enjoying it - it has been a big help for her. She was feeling stuck where she was at prior to Steeplechase, and the social aspect has really helped her. She has made friends and is doing really well there. The apartment is a studio, but its very nice and suits her needs.

A good experience
It is an older building so you cannot except it to be pristine, but they do a really good job keeping the community clean and our loved ones apartment was cleaned to our satisfaction before our loved one moved in. The management during our loved ones stay were very gracious and helpful. Every time we needed something they were always willing to listen to us and fix the problem. Their meals program was fantastic, they would always encourage families to come, visit and have a meal and it was $5 for them to do so. Our loved one was not always able to participate in the activities but they did have a number of things going on and she really loved listening to the entertainment that would come and perform music.

Nice Place to Live
The staff have been very pleasant, friendly, courteous, accommodating, and helpful. The apartments are very nice. My loved one has a very nice view, a little balcony, and a small kitchen. It accommodates all her needs. One area for improvement is the food. In the beginning the food was good. But they changed companies, and now she and quite a few of the other residents are not as happy with it.

Cannot Compliment This Place Enough
The food is wonderful, they do a great place with my Mom. It makes me happy that my Mom is happy. The meals are clean, balanced, no dietary issues. We really like the staff. There is a variety of activities are provided. One time a K9 unit came and the police department showed the residents how they train their dogs and the skills the dogs have. The residents loved it. People come in and sing and play instruments. It's a great place to be. They go on field trips and provide transportation as well.

I would recommend you pay attention to the business office, as I've not had the best experience..
The food is good for the residents. They have tours, movies, card games, and more are available for the residents to choose from for activities.
This community does have a car available for transportation to appointments.

I like it here!
I really like it here, the residents are great and the staff members are very friendly. When I first came here I had some physical problems and they have just been wonderful. We have a master chef here so the food is absolutely delicious and superb. The activities rooms and library are very nice, but the community has some part being remodeled so some things are a little messy.

When we first went here they were changing management and it was a little chaotic, however that has since been reminded. The new management people are great and they have done a nice job with the changeover. My mother seems pretty happy with the activities. The food quality is great and the way they structure the meals is very well done as well. We feel that Steeplechase Gracious Retirement is a good value for the money especially considering other communities we have had contact with in the past.

Happy with friends, but service good be greatly improved.
Loved the atmosphere and overall friendliness of staff and residents. Management was superb, however, left shortly after we arrived and replaced. There appears to be quite a turnover in management and servers. Meal time seems to take too long as there seems to be a shortage of kitchen/serving personnel. Having a meal in the dining room takes 1 1/2-2 hrs and since residents have appointments/activities besides eating all day, residents forfeit meals. The quality of meals varies; outstanding meals are served on some days; bland to tasteless meals served on others. Cleaning of apartments is sub-standard: floors are vacuumed weekly, but bathrooms are hit and miss (toilet bowl cleaned, but not rim or base, no mirror, floor or shower cleaned). Must request bathroom floor to be done, every time. Furniture, window seals are not dusted, but top of paintings and door frames will be dusted. Repairs are done instantly. One elevator for the entire building is insufficient. Am supplying my own linens, towels, trash bags because quality poor.
