Benedictine Madonna Towers is not up to what our standard would be. The paint was peeling off on the ceiling. It isn't very comforting. It seems very sporadic and disconnected. My mother-in-law says the food is average. She said sometimes the food is cold. There is the option to just order off the menu, so even though they have a daily meal for dinners, she said that if you don't like what they're serving, you can just ask for a hamburger. So that was good for her.
My mother-in-law is a resident of Benedictine Madonna Towers. Her room is good for her. Unfortunately, it's very warm, and even the lady across the hallway also says that they can't control the heat. My mother-in-law gets the evening sun, so it is very difficult to visit her actually because I have migraines and the heat does not do me any good. There's no heat control. I turned it down to 65 when I visited and then I've come back, and it hasn't changed. It's too warm.
My mother-in-law enjoys the library and the exercise classes. I have never seen outdoor spaces as far as a place where you can just sit and visit. We've walked around the facility and there's no place to sit outside. The outdoors is in a bad neighborhood, which is probably why they don't want people staying outside. It's right across from some apartments that have been known to have lots of shootings.
The staff makes you wear a mask, but they don't wear masks. The front desk honestly is so messy. It just causes me anxiety. My mother-in-law enjoys what she's doing. The only bad part is that sometimes scheduled activities are canceled and nobody knows about it. I think it's because it's short staffing that they can't keep everything on schedule. The pricing seems pretty standard across the board for what she's saying.
