My dad moved into The Lexington Assisted Living last Monday. They were very on board, very friendly, accommodating, and very caring. If I had any questions they answered. He seems to be enjoying his first week there, and he's making new friends. It's very clean and has good food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can't say enough. So far, it's been very good. I know it's only been a week, but it's a nice place for the money too. He's staying in their independent living right now. They have bingo, a movie theater, a game room, a library, a swimming pool, and a spa.

I had an in-person tour of The Lexington Assisted Living. I liked the accommodations that they made. The initial marketing representative was out due to an unforeseen circumstance, so another staff was able to meet, greet, and give us a tour. I thought that the teamwork and collaboration were good, which was important. The rooms were interesting. It seemed like they were older and not quite up to date. Some rooms had been refurbished with new flooring, and other rooms were scheduled for some updates. It was studios and one-bedroom apartments that we were looking at. There was an interesting room that had a long closet. The facility seemed like it had enough room and amenities as far as the dining hall. They had a salon, physical therapy, pool, and library. The staff was kind, well-spoken, hospitable, and friendly.

The Lexington Assisted Living was not clean. All of the guests were being served all their meals in their rooms. They had not reopened the dining room, and they were capable of opening it up to a limited number of people, but they didn't. They were not engaging with guests at all. They're there to collect money. They couldn't care less about who's there. The rooms were not clean. It's just an older place.

I hated The Lexington. It was just depressing and dark. I didn't see anybody walking around. I saw one person sitting outside and the rest of the people were maybe in their rooms. Some of the rooms were open, and I could see stains on the carpet. I couldn't wait to get out of there. The staff member was very nice, but he took me up to a floor to show me a room and he was confused about which direction the room was in. If you've been working there for a while, you would know the room numbers. It didn't jive with me. He gave me a packet, but I stayed for less than 15 minutes. I saw some people in their rooms because the doors were opened and that's when I noticed the dirty carpet. The dining area was dark. The lights were off because it's not being used right now, but there's no good natural light. They had the pool and the spa, which seemed kind of ridiculous for that age group, and nobody was in them. There was one person sitting in a chair in the sun. Other than that, I didn't see anybody other than the people that were in their rooms. On the second level there was an outdoor patio with some chairs, but there were no plants and no color. They need to revamp, and if there are stains in the carpet, they either need to replace them or deep clean them. It's on a busy street, too.

You have to be very independent to live in The Lexington Assisted Living. They don't even have anyone on-staff that can come in and deliver pills to you or any of that. They have shuttles that bring you to mass, to the grocery store, or to your doctors' appointments. It is very large. I met one of the women who was fully walking around without any type of cane or assistance, and she seemed very happy. However, it is very much for someone who is independent.
