Emerald Oaks Retirement Resort

The community is a good place. Communication is good between the staff and myself. They return calls in a timely manner. The food could be better, it lacks seasoning, variety, and the portions are small. I would recommend this community to others.

The food is great and the staff could not be friendlier and more helpful if they tried. We only moved here because our family insisted and now we are very glad we did. They have done an outstanding job of protecting all of us from the corona virus. Now that things are opening up somewhat, we are finding out about all of the activities and entertainment that they normally have, Our apartment is very comfortable and nicely laid out. We have also found all of the residents to be very friendly. There is a very happy group of people here, probably because they are treated well. They are very responsive to our needs. They are very pet friendly and because of that there are a lot of pets here. If our little dog could talk, I am sure he would give a 5 star rating. Their name is very appropriate, Resort Style Communities. It is not cheap but a great value for what you get living here. I would give it an unconditional recommendation to anyone.

In the midst of a global pandemic, the facility will not have residents wear a mask when in common spaces, despite advice from the CDC and direction from the Governor. The straw man argument that the "entire facility" is their home is jeopardizing the lives of hundreds of people in a high-risk population. Humanity aside, it endangers the profits and reputation of the facility and the company that owns it. They don't seem to care about either. Requiring masks when in the public spaces is the most caring, compassionate, and sensible thing a place could do. They are neglecting to do the bare minimum and it's shameful.
