Andrew Residence Review

My Aunt Louella lived there from what i saw it's a great place the only thing needs improvement is bedroom privacy but overall a great place to live.

I worked at Andrew House in 2002. It was a model as a mental health residence. I felt the residents and staff had a mutual bond in mental health support, and benefited the community.
Thank you Karen for your sustained commitment.

This place is in need of real public service. The people who work here care for the most part. I have been here for two years. They have taken half of every paycheck I have earned. The place is 2 and 3 bed room. Separated by hanging sheets. It is as clean as you make it. Room's are jail cell size. If you care about me and whoever you send here. Send them money letters and give them you're time. The mail is not personal... They open mail with your permission. You are allowed 97$ a month after any SSI... Rsdi. Exc. I rate this place one Star if that. The owner of the company is the only admin. I have asked for a itemized bill. I'm on the council for resident s. It is almost embarrassing the way we go through motion to do anything. The building is in need of new carpet. The art work on the walls are nice. They are owned by the owner. I feel I could be more negative.... I'm 34 and live with mentally disabled people whom are being used in my humble opinion. Good luck

I can review Andrew Residence as a resident and a former employee. While for some it is a wonderful experience; they plan to live their till they die. It all depends on your treatment by staff. As an employee, I was falsely accused by them and went 8 years without a regular paycheck after due to this until someone said I could sue. Some Do No Right residents are casually slandered to all new employees--and there is huge turnover--so they are in a constant state of abuse. You wouldn't believe me if I listed it so I won't. And it's not my mental illness. The inequity "class" system where some are driven to restaurants/stores needlessly because they come from wealthy families, and others are made to ride bus after bus with heavy loads and bruised ribs. My resume was vandalized for the final time--I give up after they made it so staff have to open flash drives and the worker messed up my resume. I have not eaten in the diningroom there for 4 years due to abuse/complaint/retaliation repeated over and over culminating in a horrific event. I wrote everyone including the White House for help and haven't received any. Champion hope? Life is hopeless. Guided by ethics? The libel in the official records they write which look so professional is laughable fiction. They've sabotaged my efforts. I worked there 2 years; lived there 13 1/2 years and seen so much injustice in my "world." Live here till I die? I have no where to go, so yes. They'll get their Do No Wrong content residents to tell you about the prime rib/shrimp/steak 7 course meals in the diningroom I can only dream of. Life is unlivable; Christ is returning soon. Hope this is the End Time.

Great health and mental health housing. Wide array of programs and amenities. Fitness room and personal trainer. Some AA and chemical dependency / substance abuse programming. Music rooms and personal lessons. Bus passes. Personal scheduling. Tobacco cessation. Social and mental health programming. IRTS licensed. Dieticians and cafeteria line style dining all three meals.

Pro: provides living quarters for adults with limitations due to their disabilities; large facility. Con: lacks professionalism from staff. They make it too much about them than providing the best care to residents.
