Key Review Excerpts
“The 3 years I stayed here I was constantly taking multiple medications I did not need and threatened to get kicked out if I did not take such pills.”
“There was also a moment where staff totally invaded my privacy and barged in when I was getting in the shower. As a previously sexual assault victim it was triggering.”
“I now have to look for a new apartment to live at since management refuses to do anything about the roomate robber that I am currently forced to live with”
