I have watched this retirement village rip off hundreds of people in short few years it has been fully open. They promise the elderly folks (victims) care for life but give them very little more than some freshly wallpapered/painted walls to look at. Heres HOW THE SCAM WORKS...
1st you move in as independant couple pay a 200,000 $$up to $379,000 dollar entrance fee. Then you live there and learn too late what it is really. You get an apartment/cottage there you pay fee after fee to keep up the place. They never have enough maintence staff to help you so you wait and wait.THe food in the cafe is over priced etc(even for the staff) and there is no golf as they lead you to believe only a sad 9 hole par 3 up the street in a public park.But thats not even close to the worst part.
If you become ill and / or your spouse you move to assisted living (SMALL CLOSET TYPE ROOM) and THEY clean out your apartment and lease it to some else very very quickly. Often they separate husbands and wives because of issues with available space in the assisted living. The staffing in the assisted living is so HORRIBLE people quit every week and so are the people that run it-very cold uncaring people mainly the ADMINISTRATOR and her assistant. I would like to use just first 3 letters to describe her but I am too kind.
DONT LET YOUR LOVED ONES FALL IN THIS TERRIBLE PLACE IN NEW HOLLAND PENNSYLVANIA CALLED GARDEN SPOT VILLAGE. Also the staff they hire that came from working at a grocery store/gas station- do NOT know how to give medications if you need to have them give you any make sure you know what your pills look like and do side effects etc.Best to avoid this place altogether find a place that has a long term good reputation like Willow Valley or Menonite Home

I think in Pennsylvania they are overwhelmed by the amount of old people going into assisted livings that right now have much less regulation than skilled nursing homes. There probably will be many DEATHS before they realize they need to properly train people and that many of assisted livings are now taking people who used to go to a more traditional nursing home and have many complex needs that unskilled labor will not be able to recognize.
