The staff was very friendly and helpful. I live 800 miles away from Sterling Court so once I got home, I could always reach out to someone to find out how my sister was doing. When we came to Sterling Court we had looked at plenty of other places. All of this took place at about 7 o'clock at night [name removed] the nice lady stayed at work to meet with us and she truly was our angel. I have never been more comfortable than I was with [name removed].

The food was bad and the cook was a jerk. They raised the rent just because, not worth it. The rooms re not cleaned per contract once per week, sometimes went 2 to 4 weeks. Yes they raised rent, hired a new chef who is an old one from there not a very good cook either. Roof leaks, maintenance man is way behind. My friends been waiting for a long time to move, apartment still not ready.

They recently underwent ownership change. The new ownership has been better than previous.

I would rate the food at a zero if I could. Mostly carbohydrates and the few vegetables served are overcooked, Soggy and sometimes inedible. Run out of food that should be routinely ordered (coffee etc.) I've looked a few other places and after a year made a few friends here. Some residents seem quite content. Personally I would like to play bridge, mahjong & join a book club. None of which are available here. Staff friendly but need more servers at mealtime. I understand a new executive chef begins next week, new owners (priority) Hope for the future.

Management does not respond to change things when there are problems. Worst food I have ever had and it seems to rotate every two weeks. Only manager that walks the dining room and ask questions can’t do anything about the issues as they are in sales, not the chef. General manager is sweet but her hands are tied by Corporate. Have raised our rent twice since September when they took over. Boring activities only there for the same people. I enjoy the pool and the library. Bus driver is a nice guy.

We moved in during covid so staff shortages were at their highest and is still an issue today but not as bad. Also, after only two years, we are on manager number four and the company just sold. Do not know impacts of sale just yet.

You should ask people what their income is and if they have a Medicaid waiver before you give them places to see.Not worth looking in to. They raised their rates by 14 to 18 %. We picked this community because, at the time I had no choice.

Most of the staff members are great, but every now and then you can see the ugly come out! My only care is the housekeeping and because of staff shortages there have been long outages in service a few times. When it comes to the meals and dining service this one I could write a book on - food usually is not hot - not on an old persons schedule for meal service - feel like being herded to the slaughter at such set times - at times need larger portions to get full! - can order but don't always get - just quit going & ordering food in to fix or already fixed. The activities are picking up since [name removed] started working here - mostly the same boring schedule day after day - glad I get to play poker. I am buying my own food and a single window size A/C unit for the entire apartment which is a 1 bedroom unit

The residents and the staff are friendly and helpful at this facility. The accommodations are adequate. Everything else could use improvement, especially the meals and dining. They seem to VERY short in all staffing areas at this facility. I had planned to stay here 'forever', but have decided to keep looking around at other facilities in this part of the state.

I have cockroaches and I have spoken with many other residents and they have them as well. The community is nice but old - it needs new carpet, roofing, painting, furnishings, etc. The food needs a lot of improvement - the meals are all over the place, most of the time it is served cold. What goes on the menu just does not make sense when you are ready to order. They also could work on the cost of living here.

I moved my mother to Sterling Court. It was so bad. The staff was very rude and unfriendly. It was run down and poorly maintained. Leaks in roof with buckets in hallway and kitchen to catch the rain. Dirty carpet. Apartment cleaned three times in two months and that was after complaining numerous times. Cockroaches. Always promising to spray for bugs but never did. Bad food which you had to sit at a table and wait for an hour to be served. Then run out of food. Unsafe. Emergency doors jammed and blocked. A mess

The staff is friendly, however they raise the cost of rent 10% annually and move every resident to month to month after 1st year. Making it hard for seniors on fixed income to stay. Food is decent, but no snacks or drinks throughout day as advertised. Recently hired an activities director. Takes a long time to have meals sometimes 1.5-2 hours to receive food and eat. Typically clean in common areas. Office staff is hard to get a hold of, but extremely nice when you do get ahold of them

I am only going off of what I hear from her daily. They were just bought out by Atria so I know they are going through a transition period. I am comfortable with her being here and I know that she is safe, fed and well taken care of. She has not been the biggest fan of the food served. If I am going off of what I have seen personally, I would recommend Holiday Sterling Court to other families.

The community is nice as it was set out to be however I feel like the corporate angle of things are not going well. I have only been here for a few month and they have had a few managers a lot of turn over in the dining area and some of the people from the cleaning people have left also. Some of them have been replaced but it seems worse off than before they left. The level of getting things done is not good right now. They have the opportunity to be a great place it is just that the management is not up to par at this time.

Nice but a little far for us. Nice facility, nice people but not quite what we needed.

The sales process was great. The food is horrible, cleaning conditions are horrible. Dietary restrictions are not being followed. Healthy snacks are not being left out anymore. My loved one complains daily about it. I had to call corporate about concerns and awaiting to hear back. At first I thought it was my loved one and now I see pictures of the food from my loved one of what the food looks like. Bread, no butter. Salad, 2 dressings and no other options. The executive chef created a food and meal menu that you cant really pronounce and you don't really know what the food is. They seem to be out of the backup foods when you don't want the main meal. Sometimes my loved one doesn't get food. She had a leak in her bathroom and it took a week to get fixed. Her ac was broken and made tons of noise. It took what felt like awhile to get fixed. There is a lack of communication. Billing is wrong, I have to call them to figure out why their are errors. It seems to be one thing after another with this place. She was told she can't save seats for certain people to sit together. She was told to come early and sit and wait for hours to be able to sit together. Laundry is only allowed during hours after 4 pm. We are having to pay for food for her to cook in her room because the food isn't something she can eat sometimes. We pay for her meals and she cant even eat the food.

The staff is really amazing at Sterling Court. When we have had some concerns (like with housekeeping) and we talked to management and they made improvements but it seems to be going downhill again. There has been quite a bit of turnover so we are still addressing some of these things. They are definitely working on improving these concerns. Dad and [name removed] love the community and the people that are here. They appreciate that they are being listened to and they are happy.

I would recommend it here. I think the staff is very friendly, and the facility is very presentable. My friend tells me he likes the food overall.
