My husband and I moved to the Fitzgerald almost a year ago, and we couldn't be happier with our new home. We had been looking for two years before deciding to live here. There are so many activities, including several exercise classes every day, at all levels. We have music every Friday and movies every day. The staff and members are all extraordinarily friendly and supportive. I couldn't recommend this place more highly.Posted on Google

Our mother recently moved to the Fitzgerald. I have never met finer staff anywhere, and I have been to no less than 30 buildings looking for the perfect place for our mom. We have dined in the restaurant numerous times and enjoyed all of our meals, the building is impeccably clean and the valet goes above and beyond to make sure our mother is safely in her vehicle before we leave. Every person greets my mom with respect and a nice smile and the staff is so friendly. I would like to live here myself.Posted on Google
