Who is the maintenance person? Who is the activity director? You may want to look at your manager of the building to see why you can't keep good help!

Sue, I enjoyed my visit recently at Auburn Grove. When I first walked in I was pleased when you greeted me with a smile and a hello.<br>The cleanliness was extremely pleasing.<br>I have to admit, I wasn’t looking forward to visiting. The last time I visited my grandparents at a similar development was shocking and a disappointing!<br><br>I now understand when my aunt says “ Everyone is so nice”.<br>You made me feel so welcome. Keep up the great work. Your kindness will not be forgotten.<br>Five starts for you and your staff.<br>Sincerely, PJ Childs

Facility provides lots of activities for residents to participate in including fitness room. Internal trash and mail which means no need to go outside. Rent is a little expensive but with all the amenities well worth the price.

My experience here has been great. I have not had a great love for apartments, being a country boy at heart so, adjusting was a little difficult for me. But the folks here are great and feeling my situation, had gotten me involved in a few of their numerous activities and I soon had come out of my shell. I also like the idea of us being located near shopping but, somewhat secluded. Also great for walking around the area. Great staff. Very helpful.
