Updated: Oct. 04, 2023, 4:19 p.m.Dozens of senior citizens in Tarrant said their home has transformed into a den for drugs, prostitution and longstanding neglect.Residents who raised complaints about crime and neglect at a senior living complex in Tarrant received some relief Wednesday when managers announced that a planned rate hike is on hold.
At a follow-up meeting today, Barron announced that the company hired a new cleaning company, added a hotline for residents to report concerns to senior management and increased security. The outer doors are now locked, requiring visitors to be buzzed in. The company received tax credits through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and low-interest financing through the federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The Jefferson County Department of Community Services oversees the HOME program locally.
Both tenants and Vantage must continue action to improve safety, security, and quality of life at the complex, said longtime resident Novillee Williams. For example, she said residents should control access to the building by denying stranger’s access. She also complained that some neighbors refuse to comply with community standards of courtesy, safety, and cleanliness.
Regarding increased security, Zac Plumstead, a vice president for Vantage Management Group, said other measures are on the table, but not likely on-site patrol.
