Homestead Village

I would tell others looking into Homestead Village Beavercreek that the water is very hard - make sure that you bring a Brita filter. It is in a very nice location though and my apartment is nice, but some others say the other normal ones are on the smaller side. They are all the same layout and pretty cookie cutter. I would recommend as long as it fits what you want.

It's convenient and adequate for my purposes, which is basically a place to cook and sleep. There is no food or housekeeping included. They staff have been quite responsive to concerns. I've had two maintenance issues, and both were taken care of immediately. I've had no issues with administration or billing. They're at least trying with the activities, but the current residents aren't participating much. It's a relatively new facility and not fully populated yet.

They have walk in showers available. All utilities except for water and eclectic are paid. There are somethings that could be improved on; however, their hands are tied locally due to corporate. The automatic door opener is too far from the door. The residents are great to converse with. They allow pets. They have a game room, beauty shop, health and wellness center, post office, tv room, doggie spa, small party rental room, coffee bar, and more for the residents to take advantage of.

Love my apartment. However, a few different floor plans are available but was not explained. Also additional charges for view 1st. 2nd or third floor charges and apt on corner of building not fully explained until you picked apt. Only utility you pay is electric, everything else is in rent. Building is not very secure. No mgr on site and sometimes door are not secure. Fire alarms go off in the middle of night for no reason and last a few minutes to a few hours. Not what I would consider active 55 and over. Aides, therapists and caregivers in out out all day. Very few residents participate in any activities.

Lots of drama between residents, services promised were not offered, residents ran the activities so cliques were formed.

Homestead Village of Blacklick is a very nice community but a lot of hyped notifications that is not there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we are not sure if we would recommend them. Everyone is different and it depends on what you are looking for

We thought it might be better than an apartment complex. It reminds me of a college dorm for 55+...cliques, gossip etc.

To Whom it may Concern, we really enjoyed out stay at Homestead Villiage, but getting our X,XXX [amount removed] security deposit back, has been a real challenge. It is now over 30 days and we have not received a status on our deposit. We are senior citizens and live on a fixed income, this is ridiculous.

There's no dining, and no formal activities. It's newer, clean and safe.

I moved into this place on [date removed] and it has been a nightmare ever since. DO NOT MOVE YOUR LOVED ONES IN HERE!!! Let's start with an uncaring manager and regional manager who thinks that people with health problems, in wheelchairs, walkers in their 70's, 80's, and 90's should take their boxes from move-in all the way out to a dumpster instead of putting them in the garbage rooms in the building. Would you want your loved one to be made to do that? She doesn't care, doesn't answer phone calls, and when you speak up about it she will cry and say she can't take it and hang up the phone on you. It's all about your money and getting you in here and then you are treated like crap. Actually, show your loved ones you care by not putting them in this awful place. The new manager is rude, and tries to bully tenants but when she gets called out for her BS then she cries and says she can't take it anymore. It may have been great when [name removed] was here I wasn't here then, but with [name removed] its awful
