I moved here looking for a new place to live. I found a really great 1 bedroom place with so much room and even my own private screen porch. I truly love it and the people are so very welcoming. I am now the Friday night BINGO caller.

This place is awful. Rooms are small and dirty. The ac has MOLD and so does the showers. The food is horrible. Elevators barely work. Deb Mathewson the executive director is VERY rude to her staff and residents. She never takes care of any problems that are brought to her attention. She hides a lot of stuff and she’s a liar. She makes promises that are not kept! I would never ever move in this facility.

I'm loving it here and sorry I didn't move here sooner. The staff are wonderful and helpful Residence are friendly and helpful..the apartments are roomy and clean.the views of the lake are beautiful.

Very happy with my Mom being there. Apartments are big and very nice. Staff is very friendly and always greets me when I come to visit. They are always having fun activities for the residents. Food is good. Price for what you get is excellent compared to other facilities.

My mom was reluctant to come to an independent living facility, but now absolutely loving her time here. She has made friends, playing games and has actually put on some weight from eating good well balanced fed meals. She has had zero complaints. Thank you Morton Plaza and staff.
