Thank you for choosing Suites at Rouse! We are delighted that you have decided to become a part of our unique assisted living community and we are hopeful that you will soon realize the many benefits that Suites at Rouse provides to its residents.
Here is some information that will be helpful to you before you move in.
To initiate telephone service, contact Verizon. You can call at any time and they will schedule a date for hook-up sometime before you move in. Verizon will bill you directly for their services. Each apartment is equipped with one modular telephone jack. The Suites is responsible for wiring to the phone jacks. If a resident wishes to move the phone jack to another location within their apartment, this can be done with the understanding that the resident is responsible for the costs.
When phone service is to be disconnected, the resident/family member must call Verizon to disconnect.
To initiate cable service, contact Youngsvill Television Corporation. There are two membership options available.
The first membership option requires you to pay a lifetime membership of $150.00 up front with an additional monthly fee for basic cable service of approximately 60 channels.
The second membership option requires you to pay a fee of $50.00 up front and $10.00 per month for 10 months for your membership and you would also be responsible for a monthly fee for basic cable service.
Cable payments are due by the 1st of the the month witha $5.00 late fee after the 10th.
Additional services to basic cable are available at your request for an additional fee. For your convenience, you are welcome to leave a check at the reception desk made payable to Youngsville Television Corporation in the amount arranged between you and the cable company.
