Destinations At Oakey

I too live at Destinations at Oakey. Talk about horrible management! They refuse to clean our apartment because they say the sell is terrible and people are complaining. If that’s true, why does the man who lives across the hall leave his door open all day? He likes the aroma? We have asked people we know, social workers, people with nothing to gain about our apartment and they think the management is crazy for saying our place smells. I have even had the manager of the complex tell me that my husband and I both smell from time to time also! Wonderful management! There is something wrong with the air quality in this building as well. Most of us here have coughs or constantly dripping noses that disappear when we leave the building. In fact, several people have ad pneumonia here at the same time, one of them was my husband! Whatever you do, stay away from this graveyard waiting to happen!

This review may be repetitive of my first review, but I think it provides better information.
NEGATIVE REVIEW ABOUT Destinations at Oakey, Las Vegas, Nevada
* 12/​08/​2014: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME! I have lived at Destinations at Oakey for 9 months and it WAS a very nice place to live. However, starting December 1, 2014 a new management company, Ridgeline Management Company, took over with the intent of turning the property into an Assisted Living Facility in about a year. In the past eight days they have demolished almost all resident’s lifestyle. Here are a few examples of what they advertise and promise you and with the truth really is:
* There is only bus transportation on Tuesday and Thursday. And, that is mainly for doctor appointments and pharmacy. They have cancelled bus transportation on Monday, Wednesday and Friday… so there are no trips to the bank, post office, grocery store, casinos or any activities like concerts and First Friday Downtown.
* If you require transportation on any day other than Tuesday or Thursday. You will need to pay for a taxi, take the bus or make arrangements with a friend. All in All… it is just more expenses for the residents.
* There is no access to a pool, spa, or exercise room even though they continue to advertise these amenities. I have a bad back and could really use a hot tub on cold nights.
* There are very few social activities, so we sit in our rooms, board for most of the day and usually only come out of our rooms for meals and to get the daily mail.
* We use to have a Bingo game twice a week that about 15 people really looked forward to playing. The buy-​in for the session was a $ 1 and if you won you would win about $ 1.25. The new management cancelled the games because they said it may be against Nevada Gaming Laws. (Really…I think the Gaming Control Board has a lot more important things to do that arrest 15 Senior Citizens for playing $ 1 Bingo twice a week). However, Ridgeline Management Company still writes it on the daily activity board, so to new comers it looks like we have activities; however, Ridgeline Management Company always cancels the game.
* Pretty much the only thing to do is to shoot pool, watch a movie once a week, listen to volunteer Fred play the piano from 4pm to 5pm, play bridge, or exercise on Tuesday mornings with Zumba.
* They continue to cut the budgets for dining (the dining budget per person/​per day is less than $ 6). Housekeeping and maintenance are asked to do more with less.
* The facilities are starting to look shabby. The carpets in the general hallways are dirty and are starting to get worn and have bubbles (trip and fall accident).
* This new management company is so insecure and insensitive that they took down one of the former resident’s picture and threw it in the garbage. The resident had passed about 3 months ago and was a friend to all and beloved by many, including myself.
* REMEMBER: I know that they are telling prospective residents that there are going to be a lot of improvements and the Assisted Living will be great, but let me ask you this question? If after only 8 days of managing the property, they are treating the long-​time, independent residents in this horrible manner, what kind of poor Management will they provide when they become Assisted Living to many disabled resident, a majority of whom will not have a voice in the matter.
STAFF: To the day-​to-​day staff’s credit… they have always been wonderful and treat the resident’s with care, respect and dignity. They are just caught in the middle of trying to provide services to the residents while dealing with budget cuts and stupid rules set up by the new management company, Ridgeline Management Company, that is only interested in pinching pennies to get their annual bonus.
