Donna Zinty
Although there is vast improvement in Security, Housekeeping, and Billing, there is a pervasive attitude discriminating against tenants disabled with mental illness. Illegal to discriminate in housing based on disability, and I have a Civil Rights case pending. Aside from this, I love my apartment, the convenient location to Downtown and the entire bus/train system, and the nice neighbors I have contact with. I hope to be happy and healthy, and live out my life here.

My dad lived here for 5 years, ending 3 years ago, when it was owned by Cassia/Augustana. The aides were great...caring and kind. The director of housing was super helpful when he moved in and out. The social worker, Carol, was there for me with solid advice when dad would be having difficulties. As others have said, the facility may not be in tip top shape but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I returned recently and found many of the same people working there. Dad's apartment was full of light with a bay window and very roomy. He was very happy there.

Just to many issues with this place since I moved in and after reading some of the other reviews and talking to people who already live there it's really not the place for me but it's way better then being homeless and in the streets or living in a shelter. Since, living here the 1509 building has become a major problem. Security is constantly being called for one thing or another. People are scared with unwanted people who are guests of other people seem to roam the hallways and common areas. I only know I pray that things get better. One thing I can say, if I don't try helping other residents here, my mother and father would turn in there graves. I was always told to respect and help my elders whenever possible.
