Finding Sommerset was all due to Place for mom

About Sommerset ..... we moved in in [time frame removed] later property was sold, food, maid service, bus service were all no longer provided! We had been very happy there....residents were happy. I have friends who stayed and aside from construction noise, seem happy. The price didn't go down...we paid the same price for half of the services.

Bad outcome

I moved in in November and it was sold to Kings Reserve in early January to be used as apartment rentals only. Up to that time it was great I feel I was deceived because they must have known this was going to happen and they continued to move people in weeks before reporting the sale and stopping of all services. A real hardship for manny physically and mentally challenged. Legal but a total disgrace and lack of concern for the elderly. I moved out on [date removed] to a regular Apt complex. We had moved to Sommerset for the services that with the sale they stopped providing and were willing to stay in their colder and smaller Apt in order to have those services.

Keep looking

Tell them not to move here. Terrible new ownership and management. When I moved here there was a 6 dinner and 6 breakfast meal plan and a Sunday brunch. There was weekly housekeeping and 2 emergency cords in each apartment, someone at the office all night in case of a medical emergency, a bus to take people to doctors and shopping. They've taken all that away. Those were the reasons I moved her. Now they have a $[fee removed] non refundable pet deposit , $[fee removed] a month pet fee, $[fee removed] trash pickup and $[fee removed]for a very small storage unit. There was a very nice community spirit. Here but they destroyed that and many people have already moved out. If anyone asked me if they should move here, I would say absolutely not.

Review for Sommerset Retirement Community

They cut food and activities. The staff was excellent, but most were laid off with the change. Haven't really had a chance to meet new staff yet. Sommerset just changed ownership and removed a lot of accommodations. It is now called [community removed].

Place has bee sold

My mom and I lived here and Sommerset has been sold and is now called [facility removed]. They are now an active 55 and older complex with no services such as meals and transportation. Many of the residents had to move out. Very sad that this happened and with little notice.

Sommerset is the best

I find Sommerset to be a very nice place to live. The apartment I live in is very comfortable. It is cleaned weekly and the bed linens are washed and returned. The food is quite good for a facility like Sommerset. There are numerous activities, trips and weekly entertainment.

Sommerset was chosen by a relative for me and after hearing stories of other retirement communities that were terrible and didn't offer half the activities Sommerset offers, this was the right choice. I am really pleased with the staff, the activities, and the effort that is made to make my permanent home as pleasant as possible. The food is plentiful and good.

I've lived here 6 years and have ben welcomed daily by name by the staff. It is a comfortable home with great menu/dining, activities of bingo/poker and many weekly music programs. The building is clean, well-kept, and feels like home. It's accommodating to disabled also.
