Review for Madison Estates
A thousand dollar a month better than anything I saw on Toledo. I'm on a month to month contract Food OK, but dining experience needs work. I would recommend this community to others where cost is critical.

Overall a nice community
Overall I think it's fair. My mom won't go to the dining room because she doesn't like the service. They make it somewhat difficult to get your food to go. In addition they have different times that you can go and if you miss that 60 minute window then you don't eat. I believe there is a better approach for the food system. My mom's apartment is nice and plenty of room for her. Cleaning staff is good and nice. Other tenants are nice.

Our family's experience
[name removed] was amazing! He showed us around and was very thorough. They had so many amenities. A pool, game room, theater room, a little salon, live music on Fridays, and so much more! There 1 bedroom room size was much bigger than other places we visited. It felt like home, and my Father in law loves it! They do church on Sunday's and my Father in law loves being able to go to church again.

Madison Estates experience
Madison is probably a 6 out of 10 Pricing went up 5% and food is not that good. They are doing a lot of repairs and maintenance, Repainting and fixing the outer walls and roof. Over all good but if other facilities were at the same cost I would be searching to move her.

I left because a house keeper took my wife's Rolex watch. I could not get any cooperation from the director. I left very unhappy and I will not recommend Madison's to anyone.

Mom's first time on her own
There was a change in management within a month of my mother moving in which has affected the cost of a few services but overall it's still affordable and she likes it. The updates being made to the complex are looking good. The food menu offers a wide variety during the week and even if that day's meal isn't to one's liking, there is an alternate "always available" menu of foods. There are also plenty of activities to keep busy if one wants and the staff has been very friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and personable. Although if you ask for something like a fan in the laundry facility it probably won't get done. A new management co is taking over and remodeling so emphasis is on that right now. There are some apartments available

Genuinely Hospitable and Caring to Seniors
New management is problematic. Great location, especially close to several hospitals, ER's, all types of medical providers, eateries and shopping. Also not in a flood zone, offers covered parking at very reasonable price, allows pets, and is relatively close to the airport. It is a community for seniors that can live independently as well with assistance somewhat. Many residents use assistive devices such as canes, walkers, rollators, wheelchairs and even scooters. Residents requiring assistance with adls are allowed to hire external caregivers. It's a great community to age in because all the employees, no matter their pecking order, genuinely care about the residents and our individual asks.

Not as great as promised, watch the billing!
The staff other than 1 admin, are all wonderful and kind. But the lady in admin never gets back to you in a timely manner. The food here is also very bad, especially for the cost of this place. While maintenance is kind, they still have not resolved a few issues I brought up over two weeks ago.

She likes using transportation, she does not participate in activities. She wishes she did not have to move but cannot afford the rent and fees at higher rates.

A Place for Mom has scored Madison Estates 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
