Greystar

The Gardens of Annapolis struck me (appearance wise) better than some of the other places did. I have noticed that there are not a lot of men in the facility. The food is in a separate building so if weather is bad, it is hard to get over there. The apartment sizes are on the smaller side, but I am transitioning well. Overall I do not regret my move and would recommend to others looking.

I do really like the apartments, the doors close by themselves and I also have a full sized refrigerator. The view from my balcony is pretty. I have been experiencing a loud noise and they are trying to figure out what that noise is and where it is coming from. The facility is in more of a square so you do not have to walk far to get places. I would recommend to others looking.

The community is a fun place to live. The rooms sizes are small I have a 2 bedroom. The activities are great we have exercise, line dancing, coloring, painting, poker games, bingo, and water aerobics. I would recommend this community.

The meals and dining should be a 0, they stopped with the food. They could improve on the food. Transportation to drs. appointments.

I rate it a 3-4, because the activity director, [name removed], is awesome & tries to make everyone happy. You know that's hard to satisfy a bunch of adults, especially women. They don't serve meals, except for continental breakfast about 4 days a week. Everyone looks forward to these. We have a lot of potlucks & different celebrations every week. Once a month is birthday celebration, holiday party, bingo, card games, crafts, painting etc. They try make sure there something for everyone. The flower beds & lawns are in kept nicely, to enhance curb appeal

Facility is old be sure to get on first floor and everything you need such as walk in shower and high toliet and check electrical outlets and vents for ac and heat flow. The location is good.

This place can barely be called handicapped accessible. There are no automatic doors to any amenities. You cannot access the Great Room or inner courtyard in a wheelchair or motorized cart. There is an automatic door between the GR and the courtyard area. But you can't access either area without a key fob and someone holding the door open for you. People need to know this. This property has been unstable since I got here. Ownership changed, all staff has turned over 2x or more. They're cheap and took months to resolve a noise issue.

My experience at Avidor is quite disappointing. Staff turnover is a notable problem. I can’t even track the number of different resident experience directors we have had or the amount of time the position has been vacant. This is a very female centric community and most activities are planned for and attended almost exclusively by women. The continental breakfast is no better than a 2-star motel and is packed with unhealthy foods. Happy hour snacks are also disappointing and usually consist of nuts or taco chips. Communication from management is infrequent and incomplete. Messages and suggestions are commonly ignored. There is a BIG gap in what is advertised and what is delivered.

The food is great, but the communication to get the food is not ideal. Their system is where they need and help and communication with residents. The dining room has been closed since covid and so they have been having to eat in their rooms. The parking lot situation is horrible to for the residents who still drive, it is very hard to get a parking spot. The key pad in the lobby has not worked since August. The staff are very friendly and helpful, I just think they need some administrative help.

Care services Zero there are none except activities class which is good. Staff and Manager always on phone/in office never talks to anyone. Others are friendly but always so busy. Meals none/or only bits and pieces. No cost to owner. Activities there is live music on Friday night is good. Other is only cards, etc no cost to owner. No value except good apartment and location. Nothing from owner. Outside is looking worse. Dead grass and bushes. Few flowers. Right now everything works however they are going to one maintenance man so who knows. It's best to take care of yourself not depend on them for anything. GOOD LOCATION Can't believe I'm so negative. I like my apartment size and layout. It's quiet and attractive and works. Near elevator and trash room. I've made friends after a year. I'll stay because I don't want to move. Security is almost nil. Gates don't work so stay open.

Happy Here-expensive

This community was louder and busier and very active community. I was not looking for this kind of environment and wanted something quieter. Great tour and helped me find where I really wanted to be at and the things I needed to have in my space.

This community is very pricey and not as big of a living quarters as the community that I was looking for. The other community had a lot more room to move around and worked out better for my loved one.

The improvements this community could start with would be the cleanliness of the hallways, even though its a newer model the carpets are a little stained. Also the elevator has an odor to it sometimes, it doesn't smell fresh. Also they could improve the food, the quality is good but it is the type of food being served. They don't seem to be to cautious regarding the dietary restrictions. For example for breakfast it is a lot of pastries.

When it comes to the activities they are doing their best given the current circumstances. I really like my apartment and the layout is nice. There is also a nice amount of storage space.

I now have been here a month. I am still very pleased with the activity organizer. She is outstanding. what I am very disappointed with is the care of their landscaping and outside potted plants. It is evident they hired some company to plant it all but there is no one assigned to care for it. They simply say call [name removed] who is the handyman and completely over used. He has just lost his third assistant. In the time I have been here we have lost the concierge and now are losing the manager. This turnover concerns me and it indicates instability of management. We’ll see. The honeymoon is over....

The food at this community is mediocre, the rooms are big enough. I would probably not recommend this community to a family or friend.

Overture costs too much money for what you get. It is very poorly managed. The people who manage the community will look for any excuse to not provide the services. Activities are not offered on a regular basis, only once in a while they will offer a presentation or something. They used to offer a continental breakfast Monday through Friday, but since COVID, there hasn't been any breakfast given in the last couple months.

I personally like living here. They have activities that you can be involved in or not. It's generally clean inside and with dogs and cats here once in a while accidents happen but not so much. The people are helpful if you need something fixed. We don't have a main cook, but we have potlucks and soup days. I think it's a good place to be.

Beautiful, but not what I needed. It was not all inclusive. They also deposited my check earlier than requested and agreed to.
