About Monarch Estates

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Monarch Estates is an Independent Living community in Auburn, Alabama, that places medical capability at the forefront of its service model. Residents have routine access to licensed speech therapists, and the property maintains relationships with hospice care teams, occupational therapists, and physical therapists who provide on-site interventions as needed. These clinical services are designed to help residents manage chronic conditions, recover from illness or surgery, and maintain functional independence without moving to another level of care.

Beyond the clinical offerings, the community staffs an awake night-shift team to address needs at any hour. When requested, personnel can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help is available for those who use walkers or wheelchairs, and staff can also provide standby or supervisory support for residents who are mostly independent but want added safety.

Apartments at Monarch Estates are offered in several layouts, and select units are pre-furnished, include cable service, or receive regular housekeeping. Because features vary by floor plan, prospective residents should confirm which amenities are included in the specific apartment they choose.

Meals are served on a set menu schedule in the community dining room. The culinary team prepares three meals a day and accommodates basic dietary preferences when possible, ensuring residents receive balanced nutrition without the need for personal meal planning.

Residents have access to on-site parking, barrier-free common areas, a wellness center, community-wide internet access, and scheduled transportation for local errands or medical appointments.

#1 in Auburn, AL

Residents and their families say:

This community generally offers a pleasant and supportive environment for independent seniors, highlighted by friendly staff and various amenities. The facility is noted for its cleanliness and a range of activities, such as recreational rooms, a gym, and occasional events like ice cream sundae days and bingo. The staff, while mostly attentive and respectful, seem to face challenges with understaffing, impacting service delivery at times. The facility itself is undergoing renovation, which may enhance the living experience once completed. Many residents appreciate their accommodations, although some expressed concerns about room pricing being higher than initially advertised.

A significant number of reviewers mention that the dining experience could be improved, with some describing meals as inconsistent and lacking variety. There is also feedback about some logistical issues, like the absence of monthly invoices leading to unexpected charges, and other services where additional fees are incurred, such as medication assistance. Despite these challenges, some residents and their families still recommend the community for those capable of independent living, noting its potential for fostering social interaction and maintaining an active lifestyle. The recent changes in management and the existing COVID-19 precautions might be contributing to both improvements and some ongoing issues. Overall, while this community shows potential, several areas for improvement have been highlighted, particularly in food services and organizational aspects.
