    Comfortable, clean, family-owned senior community

    I moved my mom in and overall I'm pleased: spacious, nicely decorated apartments that feel clean and homey with a pleasant polish/candle smell. The family-owned staff have been mostly friendly and helpful (the manager even cleared snow from my mom's car), the property is well-maintained with lots of weekly activities, common areas, and useful amenities. Downsides are outdated, noisy window AC units and a strict no-pets policy; I did notice a couple of unfriendly staff moments. In short, a secure, comfortable place that worked out well for my mom.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed-to-positive, with the strongest and most consistent praise focused on cleanliness, upkeep, and the atmosphere of the facility. Multiple reviewers emphasize that the property is secure, very clean, well maintained, and decorated in a homey, pleasant manner (including comments about furniture polish and candles). Apartments are described as spacious and common areas are noted as comfortable and usable. The facility appears to have a number of conveniences on-site — mailboxes at the front entry, a nearby restroom by the office, common areas downstairs, and garages offered for rent — which contribute to a practical, community-oriented environment.

    The staffing and management impressions show a notable pattern of variability. Several reviews highlight positive, personal touches: the community is described as family-owned, staff are characterized as friendly and accommodating, and at least one reviewer praised a helpful manager who arranged snow removal from a resident's car and even shoveled between cars. Those accounts suggest responsive, engaged management and frontline staff who will go beyond basic expectations. However, other reviewers reported unfriendly staff and limited activities/entertainment; this conflict indicates inconsistent resident experiences and suggests that staff interactions and responsiveness may vary by shift, individual, or situation.

    Facilities and infrastructure receive a mixed assessment. While the property is well maintained cosmetically and described as nicely decorated and secure, reviewers point to aging physical systems: reports of outdated equipment and "ancient" AC units — including noisy window air conditioners — are a recurring concern. These infrastructure issues could affect resident comfort, particularly in warm weather, and are an area for potential improvement. The presence of garages for rent is a pro, but several reviewers noted availability was unclear, so parking/garage logistics may require clarification from the provider.

    Activities and amenities also show mixed signals. Multiple reviewers praise a lot of activities, weekly programming, gardening, and general amenities — indicating an active social environment for many residents. Yet some reviews contrast that by describing limited activities or entertainment, which suggests variability in programming quality, frequency, or appeal. Prospective residents should confirm the current activity calendar and how it fits their interests before committing.

    Dining and kitchen-related details are limited in the reviews provided; the only specific note is that there is a kitchen in one area, which may imply a centralized meal or food-preparation space, but there is no explicit information about meal quality, dining services, menus, or schedules. If dining services are important, this should be confirmed directly with the facility.

    Location and policies are additional considerations. A few reviewers labeled the location unfavorable, though specifics are not provided; this is worth investigating depending on a prospective resident's priorities (proximity to family, medical services, shopping, or public transit). The facility maintains a no-pets policy, which could be a deal-breaker for pet owners. Another minor but practical note: one reviewer indicated there were no pictures available, which may make it harder for prospective residents to assess the space remotely.

    In summary, Wedgewood Manor Active Senior Living receives consistent praise for cleanliness, a homelike décor, spacious apartments, and a generally well-maintained property with useful common areas. The community appears to be family-owned with examples of attentive, helpful staff and management, though reports of unfriendly staff exist and indicate variability. Key areas to verify in person or with management are the condition and performance of HVAC systems, the current activity schedule and variety, garage availability, the facility's exact location advantages or drawbacks, and the absence of a pet policy. These checks will help determine whether the facility's strong points (cleanliness, atmosphere, and community feel) align with an individual resident's practical needs and preferences.
