ERC Senior Apartments, also called Erc Senior Apartments, sits in a quiet, peaceful area on 15 acres of rustic landscape in Elyria, Ohio, and has served the community for over 20 years, offering senior apartments mainly for people aged 62 and above, and has options for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with the memory care section designed to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia avoid confusion and wandering, while the assisted living section offers support with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily needs, and the independent living side gives active seniors a chance for hassle-free living and plenty of social interaction since the community hosts fitness programs, recreation, religious services in its on-site chapel, and activities to keep both mind and body moving with a recreational calendar and newsletter to keep everyone informed. The apartments have full kitchens, large closets, and look out onto a sunlit indoor courtyard or the grounds, which have gardens, maintenance, and even a library, and you'll find meals planned and cooked by chefs, with one or two meals a day available, as well as housekeeper and laundry services at a small extra cost for those who want them, plus garages, safe parking, and scheduled rides for errands or social events. Safety isn't ignored either, since there's a 24-hour desk attendant, emergency maintenance, and rent that covers most utilities-gas, electric, water, basic cable-except telephone. ERC lets residents bring small dogs and cats, and offers on-site beauty salon services for a nominal fee, as well as programs meant to keep people social, mentally sharp, and active. The apartments have floor plans with roomy closets and plenty of natural light, and ERC's prices are often much less expensive than many other places in the area, and the facility gives everyone a tranquil living space with support for those who need it and privacy for those who want to do things on their own, and ERC has also earned honors like the Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star, pointing to good care and community support. There are services for user accounts, privacy controls, and even health privacy options along with features common to bigger organizations, and with social spaces, transportation, affordable rates, pet-friendly spots, chef-prepared meals, and a history of dependable care, ERC stands as a straightforward and quiet community option for seniors who want a mix of privacy, help, and activities in one place.
Leaks, mold, disinterested staff, overpriced
I moved in expecting care but found stained carpets, buckled floors/walls, water leaks and possible mold - real safety and maintenance issues. Staff were mostly disinterested or curt, manager unresponsive, requests treated like inconveniences and follow-up was poor, though a few employees were helpful and residents friendly. Meals are pricey with tiny portions (meal plan optional and you can cook in your apartment); weekly laundry and in-apt cleaning are offered. The location is pretty and affordable, but because of the upkeep and management problems I'm looking elsewhere.
