Horrible maintenance! About had it when the door keypad was broken and I COULDNT ENTER THE BUILDING! Imagine if first responders needed to get in! Those seconds matter! Also, NOTHING BETTER THAN A LITTLE HEAT STROKE FOR THE ELDERLY AM I RIGHT??? The AC has been broken for WEEKS and still hasn't been fixed. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE HELL HOLE!

This community is located in a good area, convenient to stores and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can see it in how they treat residents. It is a nice place to retire. The new chef has improved the food and services. Definitely gets a thumbs up from me! 👍

The staff at this place allowed someone to accost my mom and she had to go to the hospital. I was not able to do anything about this because I live in California and am studying to be a software engineer.

How our free service works

Texas asks us to share this in writing.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

By submitting, you're okay with us and Madison Estates - Sky Active Living reaching out by phone, email or text. Always free for families; if you move in, the community may pay us a referral fee, never you.
