The Estates at Carpenters is a 55-plus and older community. I liked the fact that everyone was close to my age and they offered a lot of amenities, like a swimming pool. They offered nightly activities to do. The price range is just a little high for me because I'm disabled. I'm living off a Disability, so it's kind of hard for me to get someplace right this minute. The staff was very professional and very nice. The facility was very nice. They were very compassionate and they're willing to work with you with your finances and things such as that.

We live at The Estates at Carpenters. It's a continuing care community and it's excellent. The staff is wonderful. The food is fine. The facility is fine. It has any activity that you want. We have a nurse on duty Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and if we need help otherwise, they bring them from either the assisted living or the nursing home. We have transportation to doctors' appointments. They take us to the grocery store and take us to the bank. They do anything and everything for us. They bring in entertainment. They have all kinds of games, lectures, and groups. I have health issues though and they're not always able to help me with that.

My mom was at The Estates at Carpenters, and they were very good to her. The nurses were great. They were very attentive. The food was always warm and good. It was just a very homey feeling there. On Fridays, they'd have a movie day and ice cream day. The building itself could use a little upgrade. It's not that it's dirty, it's just old.

We visited the Estates at Carpenters in Lakeland, and it wasn't very cheerful. We toured the independent living, and it's terrible. The facility was old and needed updating. The staff was fine, but the rooms were small and dingy. The staff who did the tour was courteous. She knew what she was talking about, but what she said and what we saw were two different things. She was nice, but she bragged it up too much more than what they had. The facility had narrow hallways too.

My mom is a resident of The Estates at Carpenters. They have a lot of activities, so you can stay as busy as you'd like to be. She is a big card player. They have Wii bowling, a pool, aerobics in the pool, and they have aerobics in the morning for those that want to participate. The staff is excellent. They keep the place up well. It's North Lakeland and it is off of 98, so there's a lot of traffic up there. She has two bedrooms, 2 baths, and a small kitchen. It's nice, and it meets her needs. You can choose whether you get one meal a day or two meals a day. So many a month, they have different programs. I have a problem with the food. Once in a while, they'll throw in something different. I think they've changed cooks a lot. I'm usually not happy with the food, but lately, things have been improving a little bit. At least if you cook it yourself, you can change the taste or change what you do with the stuff. I don't feel that their food is up to par. I think they give them pretty good opportunities for activities. They have bingo and probably all the other stuff that people have at retirement homes. When she went in twenty years ago, well even now, you have to buy your apartment. And when you leave, it doesn't transfer over to your family or anything, you're just done with it. If she's in independent living and she goes to the nursing home part, she doesn't have to pay anymore. Of course, she's paid for as she went along. She would just go over there and if she got better from over there, then she would just go back to her apartment. They don't kick you out of your apartment fast. I think they're expensive, but I think it's worth it. With Covid, they did an excellent job keeping it at bay. I have friends down there with mother, and it wasn't until Covid had settled down that you could visit with the others.

I live in The Estates at Carpenters, it's in Lakeland. I've been here a while now and it's been good. Unfortunately, this COVID-19 happened, and they didn't want you to go outside because they have a nursing home here. It's what they call a continuing care facility. It's got independent living, which is what I'm living in, it's also got assisted living, and then it's got a nursing home. The continuing care program is good for people. It's kind of like a built-in long-term care insurance in it. If you're an independent living, something happens, and you can't totally take care of yourself, then you can go into assisted living. If you have a spouse, the spouse can stay independent. So you go in different areas of care, but it's all in the same community. We have a pool, and a couple of ponds you can fish in. There's a lot of room to walk too. They have a nice library, and they have weight and exercise rooms. They have an exercise staff. The food is probably above average, but not great. They give pretty good transportation services.
