Westminster Gardens

I saw some of the other reviews and had to say something. I spent half my life managing lower income housing. This is nothing at all like those. It is clean, we have a really great management team ( I think that's got to be part luck and part Tracy's hidden superpower). It can occasionally be noisy but not ridiculously so and not for a very long time. We can see part on the Monroe Street parades two or three times a year and we are across from a lovely garden club where they have a few weddings a year. That's pretty much it. We are also being improved on in a big way. Thanks to a grant we are getting new elevators, fire alarms, CO2 detectors,new water pipes, new H/vac. Plus the cosmetics, hall paint and doors, new carpet etc. This is one of the nicest places I have ever lived and I thank God for it every day. I don't know who said the bad things but I will say that they have rules here about things like drinking and smoking. If you break the rules you will be invited to move on. Some people get angry about that and might say bad things, just saying. Anyway don't believe anything you read about it online, not the bad or the good. Come see it yourself

I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude to all the staff here at the gardens. I am a resident and enjoy the ability to enjoy safety and community. Thank you Tracey for everything you do for us . Cindy Rasmussen

I've lived at Westminster Gardens for the last three years. It is all that I thought it would be, a 1970s building with a sense of the past but a look to the future. In any of its studio or one bedroom apartments, there is no bad view of the Gardens or the City. Last February, 2023, "Georgia Belle" as this lovely old building was once known, began getting an internal facelift with help from HUD funding. She's been rewired; elevators, fire alarm systems, and even the boiler are getting replaced/updated. To me, the administrator has done a masterful job of coordinating this massive construction plan. If you've ever been involved renovating an old house or updating a new house (while you live in it), you know plans change. In 2022, we were lucky to get an insightful, diligent administrator who hired like-minded new staff to take us from the 1970s into the 2020s. Reading some past reviews, I noticed references to staff members who left at least two years ago, one of them before I came to live here in July of 2021. I don't know what it was like before that but I know what it is like now, and I'm not an easy one to please. If you are over 62 and value your independence—this is not assisted-living—Westminster Gardens might be for you, especially if you enjoy being part of a community.

Terrible place!! No Wi-Fi unless you sit in the lobby and can pick up on the business line. The staff is very nice and accommodating until you move in! Then it becomes very obvious they don’t give a hoot about you! They do the bare minimum to get by with lots of excuses to cover themselves! Forget having anything repaired! Donna & April are 2 peas in a pod! Just basically sit around and gossip all day! Administrator is lazy, and totally clueless as to the needs of the renter! The EMT’s are there multiple times a week to pick up someone who needs medical attention. It’s located in a very loud part of town. So noisy at night. Must have a car if you live here. Not only to be able to escape but there’s nothing to do within walking distance of the place. Beware!

I have lived here at Westminster Gardens for over two years now and I have to say, DON"T EVER move yourself, or God forbid, a Family member to this place! They just don't CARE about you after you move in!. I have had a Leak in my bathroom ceiling for OVER three months now and all they tell me is "We're working on it" or "It's Condensation" meantime The leak is still there.
