I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My friend is a resident of Birchwood at Rodney Court. It's a great place. They have a nice apartment that is very secure. It's a nice area next to a park, and they have stores around it. It's very clean. It's like marble floors. They do have a family room for people to go to, and they have an area for activities and programs.

RODNEY COURT - A DISGRACEFUL BUILDING

I moved out of this building as soon as it was possible for me to do so. [removed] I was told no dogs were allowed in the apartments then after I moved a large dog moved into an apt next to mine. Evertime the owner went the dog barked. I was afraid to the dog would bite me, the owner never put the lesh on the dog. The a/c electric bill was $200 dollars a month during the summer months.

This place is a 5! Its wonderful! My parents love it, I mean, you cant live no where for free but considering where they came from this place is like a palace. They do have activities they advertise on the elevators, letting you know whats going on and stuff but it's up to you to go out and join. My mother and father dont go out and really do they activities but my mother is a private person and they just dont go out and join in.

I visited this facility

Rodney Court looked more like a home than a facility. The rooms were chopped up and the bathroom was small. There was no radiator in the rooms. The staff though were very nice.
