Emeritus at Boynton Beach

The facilities and the neighborhood are nice, because it's close to my house. I talked to some of the parents and loved ones with residents living in Emeritus and have received good feedback from them. But my mom didn't push through with assisted living yet because she can still manage living on her own.

Emeritus at Boynton Beach gets my vote for being a wonderful senior community. I have an aunt and uncle who live at this assisted living facility and they have never been happier. They are continuing to lead busy lives, but the difference is that now they know that help is available when they need it. Both of these people are in their mid-80s and they do have some issues as far as mobility is concerned. My aunt needs to use a walker and my uncle has had two strokes. They primarily require assistance with dressing and bathing, and occasionally my aunt needs help with her ambulation. Escorts can be provided for walking and the amount of personal assistance is adjusted according to the needs of each senior resident. This helps promote the maximum level of independence.

At one time they were hiring nurses and caregivers to come to their home, but they are much more content with the present arrangement because they feel less restricted since they can call for assistance when, and if they need it. There is an on-site beauty salon, a large, heated swimming pool, a communal dining area and a gorgeous courtyard. All residents are encouraged to participate in the activities sponsored by the fitness and wellness centers. Exercise is a daily event and it is easy to see how much fun everyone is having during these classes. There are even many exercise classes in which my aunt and uncle happily participate.

The staff was friendly and really seemed to care for the folks living there. Very clean and everything seemed calm and organized.
