What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Friedman Place receives mixed reviews from residents and visitors. On the positive side, many appreciate the supportive environment for individuals with significant vision loss. The facility is designed to promote independence, featuring color contrasts around doors, talking elevators, and available assistive technology with training. The staff, from cleaning personnel to the Executive Director, are often described as helpful, kind, and incredible. The place is noted for being clean, with a variety of activities for residents, and the tours are well-presented, indicating a well-maintained site where residents generally cohabit peacefully. However, there are significant criticisms, particularly regarding upper management. Some reviews highlight a culture of neglect and abuse, alleging that management, specifically Alexander Brown and Rita Scaletta, allow bullying and harassment among residents and staff. Complaints about harassment are reportedly dismissed or attributed to "mental illness," and even state involvement is said to be ineffective due to management's ability to cover up issues. New staff reportedly face poor treatment, including harassment and assault, which are allegedly ignored by management. This negative environment is attributed to management's greed and neglect, overshadowing the facility's potential to be a thriving place for the visually impaired. Despite the positive aspects, these serious allegations suggest that prospective residents and employees should consider other options.
