She went to the hospital about one week ago due to heart issues... Never got the visit that was promised many days in a row from Jennifer. Because we did not get a visit in a conversation with the doctors... Even after repeated reach out from family members and five different staff at the hospital... We had to make the decision to take her to hospice. Very disappointed in this level of care for someone in their final days. Infuriating. But also just deeply sad.

My rent is still below the market rate. Arlene forgot to tell you in her review of South Bay that when she had damage to her apartment, South Bay put her up in a nearby hotel until the damage was repaired and she could move back into her apartment. Retirement living is at it's best in South Bay. So many activities, good dining, and interesting programs to stimulate the mind. Of all the moves during my 80+ years, moving to South Bay is the best!

Last year, we were assessed a 10% rent increase, and they are doing that again this year, ostensibly to "bring everyone up to market prices". In the meantime, this has caused long-time residents to move out, rather than face an additional $2,000 a month rent. The property can do this, because it has a long waiting list of potential renters, to whom they could charge a higher rent. This policy has caused a great disruption in the resident community, as long time residents move out. The building and grounds, which are lovely, are not being maintained. The common areas are getting shabby, and the lawns are rutted with bare patches. Hallway carpets, except for the first floor, are soiled and need replacing. Residents have leaks and other problems to the original sub+par construction. Showers don't drain and holes develop. There is a humidity problem throughout the buildings. There are very few accessible options, such as self opening doors, even though there are many residents who use mobile accessories. In 2025, when Mount Pleasants's moratorium on apartments expires, SouthBay will begin construction on more units, , subjecting the current residents to great noise for the next few tears.
