Primrose Gardens – Resident and Family Meeting about the Elevators

/in

Residents of Primrose Gardens and those who love them are invited:

Tuesday, March 10th
6pm – 7pm
Primrose Gardens
No RSVP necessary

Primrose Gardens Apartments has experienced issues with the elevators during heavy use and following scheduled replacement of the ropes (cables). This has caused concern and anxiety for residents who rely on the elevators to transport them to and from their apartment suites. 

Karen L. Baillie, CEO and Kathrin McMath, Director, Finance and Operations invite you to attend a special meeting at Primrose Gardens to discuss what has taken place with the elevators and how these issues are being resolved.

We have spoken with concerned familiy members about the elevator issues and recognize the importance of these conversations to reduce anxiety and assure you of our commitment to the safety of all residents who call Primrose Gardens their home. We hope residents of Primrose Gardens and their loved ones will join us on Tuesday evening.
