  • Bed bugs, Roaches, Cold Food, Crappy Management

    First floor rooms flood and nothing has been done to stop it. There are roaches in the hallways and dining room. At least three rooms have bed bugs.

  • My Review of University Pines

    My mother-in-law moved to University Pines when my father-in-law died. It is the perfect place for someone who doesn't need round the clock help. They are kind and so helpful for anything she needed. We moved her to a nursing home after 4 years, but I would recommend University Pines to anyone.

  • Good experience

    I chose University Pines because of the apartment that I was able to obtain, there is a lot of natural light and that was important to me. They do have a variety of different apartment sizes to choose from. I also chose it because I felt it was a better value for the money. The facility is in a very good location, close to the hospital, a very nice super market, and close to shopping. They have transportation available as well. I would recommend to others who are looking.
