    This doesn't sound like the greatest idea considering the recent norovirus outbreak on a cruise shiP!

    My mother has recently moved into the assisted living community called Veranda at Preston Hollow due to the fact that she has suffered multiple strokes and is bipolar. She has lived there for just over a month. The community has recently been bought by a Jewish company called The Legacy Senior Communities, Inc. After one month, I received a letter from Veranda regarding an increase in rent of $300 when the industry average is 3-4%. Given what we had agreed to monthly, this $300 increase amounts to a 7.5% increase. This notice came less than one month after my mother's lease began with Veranda. I believe management is trying to force non-Jewish residents from the community so that Jewish residents can move in. Please see the article called "Seniors weigh new care choices" on the Texas Jewish Post website. It states that Michael Ellentuck has been approached by Jewish community members who would like to bring move their parests here to Veranda as space becomes available. The article references some sort of financial benefit being given by the a (Jewish) Federation. By-the-way, you will notice in this article, Veranda's name is being changed to The Legacy at Preston Hollow. It is really sad that religious discrimination is forcing elderly people from their homes in the year 2007. Last month, my family moved my disabled mother from out-of-state believing that Veranda would be a long-term solution for her care. We have paid numerous deposits etc, and it appears we are being forced out by exorbitant rent so Jewish residents can move in. I used the Gilbert Guide in my search. However, since the Guide was published, Veranda has come under new management. Please be advised of the change in management and the distaste for non-Jewish residents.
