Ardent Senior Living

I went on line and saw the ad for Sutton Gardens and liked what I saw. I called Erika [removed] and was quoted $3000 a month for a shared room in addition to other necessities needed. All funds had to be private funds. No insurance accepted. So I asked for a tour appointment. Regina, the head matron, let me in. She was very friendly and personable. She made a good initial impression. I waked inside took 5 or 6 steps and stopped. The residents looked at me and I looked at them. I saw depression in their faces. Nothing like the happy well dressed people as seen in advertisements. They just didn't look good at all. The maids were all yelling commands at each other and they were arguing. Regina had to get in between them to settle them down. It was a very loud, disorganized atmosphere and there was a powerful mixed odor of cleaner and urine. I was told that Erika was doing a tour and she would be with me shortly. I told Regina I left my cellphone in the car. I left and never returned for the tour. Honestly, the place reminded me of a welfare motel. Not worth the asking price. Nothing close. Sorry.
