If you are looking for a senior community, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. My mother has lived here since 1986 when it first opened. During that time she was very active in the community including a term as President of the Homeowners Association. Her one wish was to be able to stay in her home until the end and for the past two years, I have been helping her do just that. She is 92yrs old and in reasonably good health but she may outlive her savings so I have been looking into FHA backed Reverse Mortgages. This complex had FHA approval from 1988-2011 but the current board let it lapse. I have offered to pay for a group that will get the FHA approval reinstated and only need the board to provide the paperwork conveniently listed in a prepared checklist. I have been told that the board will not allow FHA certification because as the outgoing president stated to me, "We don't want those kinds of people living here". Discriminatory to say the least and not at all responsive to the needs of the elderly residents, like my mother, who would benefit from FHA approval. Furthermore, they do not seem to be meeting their Fiduciary responsibilities by refusing FHA approval as at least 25 units remain open and could no doubt be filled with the ability to put 5% down on an FHA mortgage as opposed to 20% for conventional. Those 25 units represent about $60,000.00 in lost income to the community which means increased fees for everyone else. In just the two years that I have been here the monthly homeowners fee was raised from $180.00 to $200.00 and that same year a $240.00 surcharge was tacked on to cover snow removal. There is also a good deal of money from unpaid fees outstanding due to their lack of effort to collect what is owed. All and all my experience here has been eye opening and one I would not choose if I had the choice to make. Think carefully if you're thinking about coming here; no one will be looking out for your best interest. read more
