“It's the only place I've had my mother where I feel comfortable leaving town for weeks, knowing her care is in good shape. The office staff and the girls at the reception desk are great, and everybody knows me by name. The activities director is friendly and energetic and loves his job, and she enjoys the movie days with popcorn. The drivers keep an eye on residents, and maintenance takes good care of her. She's thriving. I tell everyone I wouldn't take my mother anywhere else.”

“I was very pleased with the service, the activities, and everyone I dealt with. Staff know your name and address you by it, so you're not a number; you're a person. There are a lot of activities, from bingo to the swimming pool to outings. Dining means no shopping, cooking, or cleaning up, with two entrees and a list of alternatives. Maintenance comes right up, and staff help newcomers learn their way around. The drivers are friendly, and the vans are clean. When you put everything together, it works out. I would recommend it.”

“I've got nothing but praise for this place. Everybody I encountered, from the director to the bookkeeping folks and the front desk, was awesome. It's a beautiful, very clean facility, and at the end of any hallway there's a bench to sit and enjoy the view. I see lots of activities going on, with people engaged and happy. Maintenance is up there quickly, the bus driver is awesome, and the caregivers are very nice. Everybody on staff couldn't be more friendly. I'm thinking about moving in myself, and I would certainly recommend it.”

“It's a great place. Management is very helpful, they do everything we expect them to, and they're there when you need to talk to them. The dining service is great, and housekeeping and laundry do a great job. They keep the place up, and the buildings and grounds are all well done. The nursing staff are exceptional and call me every time something comes up. Everyone is excellent, and I recommend this community all the time.”

“I've settled in, and I think I made a good choice. What impressed me from the start was the cleanliness; the halls are clean and well kept. Management is very caring, follows up, and is prompt. The dining staff is very polite and friendly, and they offer really good alternatives. The activities staff is open to suggestions and leaves a schedule at my door each week. Staff even help move my laundry to the dryer. Maintenance was very prompt with a leak. I love my apartment, with the trees and the screened porch. I would definitely recommend it.”

“My mother-in-law is loving it, so much that she's selling her house and staying. You walk in and it's spotless, with shiny floors and clean carpets. The management has been absolutely great. My husband and I have joined her for lunch, and the food has been phenomenal. She's a picky eater, and she loves it. She loves the music, she adores the staff, and maintenance always comes to help her. Now she meets her friends for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We would recommend it. Keep up the good work.”

“I looked at seven places for my mom and was very impressed with this one. The staff treat the residents like family, and the food is amazing. I've eaten there myself, and if you don't like something, you can get something else. There's always something to do, from exercise and meditation to cards, puzzles, birthday parties, and happy hour. Her housekeeper treats my mom as her own, maintenance carefully hung her family pictures, and the aides are very professional and personable. The staff work well together, and everyone is so friendly.”

Bobby Deems (female)Family member · Mar 2026
★★★★★

“I am absolutely loving it, so much that my husband is jealous and wants to move in sooner. It felt cozier, the people all looked so happy and friendly, and I really felt at home. Management makes a point to know everybody and they are all so friendly and helpful. Everything I've eaten has been delicious, with so many options. The activities are very inclusive, and they make an obvious effort to get people involved. I feel safe and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it.”

“The management team was incredibly responsive and caring, which made the transition so much easier. The food looked delicious and nutritious, and the activities were always engaging. The housekeeping staff kept everything tidy, and maintenance was prompt with any repairs. Overall, I felt my brother in law was safe and comfortable.

“The management team was always accessible and genuinely caring, making it feel like family. The food was excellent, with visitors preferring to dine in rather than go out. There were plenty of activities to choose from, catering to all levels of ability. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and the maintenance team was prompt with repairs. Overall, it was a wonderful place that offered great value for the price!”

“My wife and I recently moved into this community, and we couldn't be happier. They have great management staff there. I love the place! I think the food is really good. It is prepared well and delicious and presented very well. I haven't had a bad meal there yet. Even if I don't like something, I taste it and it is pretty good. I haven't been able to do any activities yet, but I was flabbergasted at all the things they do have going on. The housekeepers work hard to make sure you are happy. They help me with laundry, and they come right away. I am living on a vacation. The care staff are great, and are always checking in on you!”

“I recently moved into this place and I am wild about it. I am very satisfied with what I get for service and the people here go out of their way to help you. The food is excellent, we get three great meals every day and the first day, I had a cup of the best potato soup I've ever had in my life anywhere. The management staff is respectful and knowledgeable. We have games and do all kinds of activities. Once a week, staff change my sheets, they clean the place, and they knock before walking in. It's a dang good deal, I'm as happy as I can be, and I'd be overjoyed to recommend it to people.”

“My mom has no problems with the facility. She loves it there. Everything she's asked for they've done their best to comply with it. She's never had any issues and she's very happy and very content.”

“Everyone is just lovely and delightful and very helpful. Almost every staff member that I have met has been incredibly helpful. In regards to the dining, I have to say that the staff and the service staff are incredibly rewarding and they go out of their way for you and there is quite a variety on the menu. Housekeeping is amazing too. They are just incredible. They do a great job and I couldn't ask for better. Overall, the community is extremely clean and I would recommend this community without a doubt.”

“We chose this community because of the facilities that were available for my mother. The library was a huge deal for my mother because she is a very avid reader and the size of the apartment for the rent that it was was another big part and the location. I like that they are so close to the hospital. The physican and the LPN have been fantastic and I do appreciate that they have someone that comes there from Bluestone. She has only been there a short period of time but we have been very happy with everything. The management staff has been great and they seem to be very good at following through and the healthcare staff have been very nice. My mom says that the food is great and there is a good variety of activities offered to the residents. My mom has also been very happy with the housekeeping and laundry and the maintenance services. I would definitely recommend this community to others.”

Carole CuneoFamily member · Nov 2023

“We chose this community because of how noticeably nice the staff was to the residents. Dad's apartment is perfect for him and everything was seemless moving in and done quickly. He likes the food very well and has enjoyed the activities to my surprise. They keep his room and laundry done up and the building is maintained very well. I am glad to know that the med techs will make sure that he gets his medications. I would recommend this community to others.”

“My father lived at the community, and I'm telling you, from the very beginning in June of 2020, it was a welcoming place. The management is totally professional and efficient, yet they've got a warm side to them. They know everybody's name, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. The food and dining was just like a restaurant, and I'd say the activities were wonderful, but my father didn't participate in any. They also cleaned that room weekly and my father is not the easiest person to live with, so I don't have any complaints there. They've taken good care of him. For a while he did his own laundry and then he had to have help. But it was always in a laundry basket in a plastic bag with his room number on it, folded beautifully. It was very nice and neat! He also used the transportation just a couple of times and he really enjoyed it. They were really good to him. Finally, as far as the care, towards the end, before I moved him, he had to have assistance. And they were managing his medicine and checking on him in the dining room, because his diet had changed. They acclimated to all that without any problems whatsoever. Like I say, the place is wonderful. Not that I need assistance, but I could live there! It's top notch. That's all I could say. From the finance people to the directors to everybody and those receptionists at the desk, you can't find better people.”

How Medicaid pays for care in Florida
