My mom lives here and was so happy to be approved However, they need security ASAP! It's across the street from a public park and they have no security to keep the homeless people from accessing the building and knocking on the residence doors. I'm scared to death of her living over there but I'm working on it as we speak. Praying for all the residence safety. Otherwise the units are nice but she wishes she had her own patio to enjoy outside without being in fear.
