      The Blake at Colonial Club did not provide me with the correct refund when my mom moved out of their facility. Her memory care unit, room 145, was vacated on 6/9. They owe me the daily rate from 6/10, 6/11, 6/12, 6/13 and 6/14. They had her apartment free and clear on 6/14. The daily rate for **** is ******. I received a check for $3,133.33. The check should have been for $4112.50. I paid $5875 for the month. She moved out on **** 9th. Those 9 days costs $1,757,97. $5875-$1757.97 is $4117.04. I was paid $3,133.33. Amount owed is $983.71,

      In November 2020 (before completion) I visited The Blake and was told I could put up a deposit of $1,500 on an apartment. Was told after completion the deposit price would go up. It has been completed but I do not feel I am ready to move in. I was told by Nancy R**** and Lauren W**** that the deposit was "always refundable." I am told both these ladies are no longer employed at The Blake. I have the Pre-Opening Waitlist Agreement with "always refundable" written on it. On 10/5/21 I visited The Blake and gave Rebecca J******* (new Executive Director) written notice that I wanted my $1,500 deposit returned. I have her written acknowledgment of my request. On 11/9/21 I visited The Blake and spoke with Mrs. J******* about my deposit. She said she would look into it and be in touch. I have not heard anything from her. I am very upset about this. This is a lot of money to me. Will furnish copies of documents but I don't know how to download and upload. Can bring photocopies to your office.

      I have spoken with *** ******* on a couple of occasions, as has our Sales Director and Director of Business Operations.  As *** ******* pointed out, we have had a change in personnel since she placed her deposit.  Unfortunately we have been unable to locate a record of her deposit.  My understanding is that in their last conversation, our Director of Business Operations explained that a proof of payment such as a canceled check would be helpful in obtaining a refund for her.  I have not seen, nor had *** ******* mentioned anything from my predecessor with "always refundable" written on it.  I would like very much to resolve this.  Simply need some kind of documentation of payment.

      I have this date received my refund, after requesting it 2 1/2 months ago.
      Isn't it a shame I had to call upon your office to get my money back.

      Thank you for your assistance.
