Greystar

AVOID!! After touring the Overture, stressing the desire to have a place for my parents following their simultaneous health emergencies, my husband and I submitted my parents' application. The staff, including the GM, "LF," understood that occupancy was urgently needed. LF said they would have the unit ready for move-in by the end of the week. We left a $[fee removed]community fee with LF & awaited her promised call, which never came. She failed to respond to multiple emails despite HER request that we email her. She never produced a lease or attempted to deliver the unit on time. She strung us along & denied any responsibility for her lack of communication & inaction & refused to refund my parents' money despite never producing a signed lease or keys. She cost us precious time and money and caused an inordinate amount of stress. This place may look good on the outside, but it's rotting from within.

Old, dirty, expensive and nasty staff! Maintenance does not like to maintenance and they charge for inside and outside lights and gas. Full of bugs and spiders. Parking is expensive. Smells of crap in the halls. My cable box caught on fire shortly after I moved in and my electric stove plates get too hot!

This is not an assisted living facility. There are no restaurant facilities. Folks ordered food and it was delivered by a staff member. There are minimal activities provided. The apartments are old. Some units have been renovated. Parking is a problem for visitors as there are reserved spots for residents for a fee per month. There is no nursing or medical staff at this facility. This is strictly a independent living. I would not recommend anyone over 65 with health issues to live here.

I live here and for the past 8 plus months I live on a floor, the 4th floor of the south tower with a resident who is allowed to smoke here while we all signed a non smoking addendum stating no smoking in or on the premises! I have reported to local, medium and higher up management and NOTHING is done. He is allowed to live here and the doors to all apartments are not completely with all being weatherstripping approved all the smoke defers into the apartments. Tonight about 8:15 I went out to put trash in the shoot and the smoke being this time marajuana overtook the entire floor now entering my apt! No one does a single thing. I am a cancer survivor with a low immune and I have had it!!! I would send texts every time it occurred and no one did anything! I stopped as I could not handle the stress and tonight I’m done! I placed an internet review and writing this which I’m sure you will take done! This is horrible!!

A management team shrouded in secrecy and dishonesty, residents tip toe around when things go wrong or don't work. A big letdown. Some residents have experienced flooding and some have complained about mold.

Overall we have had some good experiences at Everleigh. The facility is beautiful & well-kept & the changing evolving staff is doing their best within the Greystar constraints. However since moving in we have been subjected to some intolerant judgmental entitled RACIST tenants’ attitudes & rudeness. We have complained several times to the management office. These tenants do NOT honor nor respect other tenants’ boundaries & have made offensive insensitive comments to us! They need to mind their own business! At the same time, we have come across a few tenants who possess & display more appropriate behaviors.

Staff is useless! Very disappointed in this place! Pool heater has not worked for months. Very few activities. When they have events or meals, they run out of food. Fix pool, get some real activities besides bingo and bad bagels get togethers. Need an activity manager to follow through with ACTIVITIES. Manager does not want any problems, so sits in office with door closed.

We had a horrible experience, I have evidence that we would be refunded after removing my client out in less than 24 hours. They left our loved one unattended so much more. Now they are withholding our deposit so we will leave a review on every forum we can. We are now contacting the BBB and a few other avenues because [name removed] blocked our email

This place is simply awful. These people don’t care about their patients or the individual needs of a patient. Patients are not getting the proper care that the need. The med techs are not competent and the staff is not empathetic or compassionate. If you care about your loved don’t send them here.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.. Renters beware . Tons of people moving out every week. Office staff keeps changing . Bad and mainance and they don't get along with office over task. Vary unorganized.. Gates always broke. They try to get you to refer people cause price are so high. Walls are papper thin. CAN HERE YOUR NABOR .NABORS SMOAK POT IN THERE APARTMENT, NOT a GOOD place . apartment are really small. Garages always on waiting list.. all tenants that have been here a long time said it's bad management and high turn over so some politics in office and maintenance..dogs crap every where and owners won't pick it up .dog pee all over. Really gross.. ATINKS, most people move out right away. Not friendly to seniors at all. And if your disabled they talk about you and make fun of you . maintenance says every one is a weirdo right when we moved in.. they took our deposit and gave the apartment to some one else. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, BBQ ON PORCH. A FIRE VIALATION.. BAD. DONT bother

poor maintenance. Refrigerator doesn't work. I have been throwing. food every week. They have not been able to fix in two month. Every time they come I have to empty refrigerator. We are retired don't have energy to clean refrigerator. every week.

The social director, NOT A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.(she took a photo of me that they used in an ad), takes hundreds of photos of us and uses them in commercial ads without asking, informing or compensating us. Lease says they can use them however they choose. Sell them? Political ads? no limit. We pay for many amenities we don’t use: aerobics, water aerobics (8 participants), yoga, booze for happy hour, the pool. Most food for events is paid for and prepared by residents. The main floor garage gate has been open/ broken for nearly 2 months. The 1st floor one was broken for a month before that. There’s security at night, but, during the day, anyone can walk in and break into cars or apartments. My apartment kitchen has very few cupboards and hardly any counter space. Downsizing? I had to get rid of many valuable items to move into this tiny apartment. These past 9 months, they’ve crammed folks into rooms maskless for activities, only suspending when COVID ravaged their staff.

Avoid yourself and don't be fooled by false offers. I know I live here. check everything yourself often and document it all. You would be wise to take photos as well. What meals?

I did not have a good experience at Destinations Spring Valley. It was very dirty when I moved in. I had to buy brushes to clean the bathroom because it smelled so bad. The stove did not work correctly. The carpets were dirty and did not reach the end of the room. I would definitely not recommend to others looking.

Staff lacks follow through and follow up. Maintenance issues tend to require multiple requests. It took two years to have one issue (involving water leak) to be fixed. Waiting 3 months now for a new fridge filter, A/C filter and two light bulbs to be replaced. People under 55 have been allowed to move in. Wish I had never moved in. Not many stay for long.

I toured Somerset; [name remofved] was great but the building was too dark/gloomy for me. Not my choice!

I called the phone number listed on web site. Women who answered was rude and wanted to delve into personal aspect rather than answer basic questions about community. It left me with a not favorable impression of this community.

If you plan on living here just realize when the weather changes they will not be able to turn the heat or AC on until they feel like it. If it is spring and the weather is 90 degrees outside you have to deal with it, with absolutely NO AC. If it is fall and it is cold outside, like 30 degrees you HAVE to deal with it. NO HEAT whatsoever. In fact they don't mind the elderly suffering, not being able to use their stove during the day, not being able to sleep at night, and even sweating just sitting there so you have to change your clothes twice a day because it is too hot. Their reasoning, "It's only a few days" of torture. The elderly have lived so long that they can deal with torture for a few days I guess. The liability of this is not enough to worry them, in fact, they think it is perfectly normal, even during a PANDEMIC, when you can barely leave your apartment, to keep your room at 90 degrees since it is "too much work" to switch it from AC to HEAT or vice versa.... YIKES!

If I could provide a NEGATIVE star rating, I would. This place is HORRIBLE. Do NOT place your loved ones here!!!! I researched 10 different facilities in the Gwinnett County area and choose this one because of the activities and the "fake" comfort that was sold to us when visiting by [name removed]. The director, [name removed], is awful at returning emails and voicemails. My father died there back in [date removed], that basically stemmed from 2 broken hips that occurred in the memory unit in the matter of 5 months. He was 81 when he passed and had NEVER broken a bone before in his life. The neglect there is like a slap in my face and to my parents also. All the center wants is the MONEY, which certainly isn't used to pay the care staff a decent wage, so you get what you get there in staffing - some good, most awful. When I went to collect my deceased father's items and my living mother's items from the Memory Unit, we noticed that several expensive things were "missing"....really stolen. Like my mother's diamond earrings or her gold necklace or my father's Alexa or his wheelchair, a whole freaking single bed was thrown away. There are so many others things missing, but you get the point. Again, do yourself a favor and your loved ones, go somewhere else.

Overpriced for the quality of apt. space and finishes. This company has a "F" rating with BBB for a reason. Monthly statements are padding with extra charges even though the rental rates are calculated - reference the "Seven Dimensions of Wellness" included in the monthly rate. NO reasonable concessions for reduction in rent even though Greystar has not delivered on the "Seven Dimensions of Wellness" for the past 5 months and is pocketing the profits! Staff does not maintain preventive maintenance or cleanliness expected for "resort style living". Activities pre-Covid-19 shut down hosted by Greystar site staff were not well hosted and offered meager offerings of cheap food and beverages. Leasing staff sit around but don't do much cleaning. Chaise lounges and surfaces are always filthy, palm trees and plantings barely alive. Leasing staff are not to be trusted - if you want to renew your lease you have to hound the staff for renewal details and they offer incentives (awful and NOT competitive for the market and building that is barely 60% full)) and apt. transfer deals then rescind the offer and you are stuck because it's too late to give 60 day notice to move elsewhere. Median age of residents is 85 and many with psychotic, frail health or wandering about lost and cannot find their apts. Emergency after hours service line is often not answered. Not a Secure or Safe place for you or your loved one. Greystar promised activities and outdoor games (land and water) but fail to follow through. Most active 55+ are so unhappy and planning to move out unless Greystar leadership corrects the issues. Leasing staff will tell you what you want to hear but be VERY wary as they omit the truth and embellish on what little they deliver.
