Minnisink Village Senior Housing

Debra Balinski-Long

An elderly friend of mine has been a resident at Minnisink for several years. Though her studio apartment is a bit small/tight, she seems comfortable. As her adult children don't appear to be a part of her life, I stay in touch with her regularly. I, also have had an altercation with the Manager, Kimberly. While entering the apartment complex, my foot wasn't even on the gas peddle, yet she began lecturing me about the speed limit. I tried twice to tell her that my foot wasn't on the peddle, and that the car was slowing down from 20mph to 18mph. My answer apparently was unacceptable, as she continued to tell me that the (senior) person that I was visiting would be held accountable for my speeding. I then just said, "Have a nice day". My senior friend has had several altercations with her. She talks down to them as if they - the residents - are jail inmates. About 2 1/2 years ago, I was trying to get in touch with my senior friend, where I thought the worst had happened to her, that she was either unconscious or even dead in her apartment. I left a phone message with the office, explaining my concern, giving my name, tel#, etc. I never received a reply, nor did my elderly friend ever receive a phone call from the office. And yes, this manager has a Florida license plate. Law requires for anyone with an out of state plate, must reside in that state for X-amount of days per year for it to be a primary residence. OK, I've said enough here.

I have heard so much good about these apts. I just hope there is not a long waiting list. I just read that the wait list is now close until December 1922 so I am a little disappointed. I had read last that it was going to open as of June 1 2022. I was hoping to be in by Christmas.

My parents have lived there for a year now. The apartments are nice and pretty well maintained. At the beginning, it was helpful knowing there was a caring and understanding manager, Tina, who really addressed any issue in a timely, efficient, and kind manner. The new manager, Kimberly Clarke, is rude, unprofessional, and disrespectful to tenants and families of tenants advocating on their behalf. My brothers and I have been spoken to unprofessionally on numerous occasions and have even been hung up on from her when asking her to lower her voice and change her tone. This should not happen especially when speaking on behalf of disabled, limited English speaking elderly people need answers or needs to be addressed. We’ve also been told - ‘nobody tells her how to do her job.’ I would love to speak to the owner more in dethroned but everywhere I look points me back to Kimberly as the contact.

Very small apartment and the person who's in charge of qualifying doesn't know how to do math
