Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community

There are a few things that I like about Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community. I like the layout and I like that it's an apartment style. I like the community closeness of the residents and I thought the services they offer were very generous for the price. The whole building is like an H shape and it's a line of apartments. You step out of the apartment and it's all screened-in, like a lanai, so they can sit outside their apartment and enjoy the wildlife. It's all grass and mature trees. I think it's very, very homey for that reason. It's not like a hotel, which a lot of them are these days. I met a number of the residents as well as the staff. The residents were all very, very pleased and the staff was very, very welcoming. I loved the activities director. She was fantastic. I thought she was wonderful.

Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community was a nice facility. At the time, we were looking for a two-bedroom, two-bath, and it was a nice setup, and the pricing was better than any place else that we had looked. The staff was very nice and helpful. We did not try any of the food. They had a library. They did have a gym set up and they did things for the older people to do in the gym. They would get help with different things if they needed it. It looked very, very well and very well kept from what we could see. We liked Hidden Lakes better than the others, and the others were out of our price range.

Hidden Lakes Senior Living Community was an older place, and it had a very small assisted living area. We didn't do too much of a tour. We sat in the conference room with a very well-educated person who had dementia experience. She was very informative and spent over an hour of her time with us. She was extremely patient. She thinks that my friend would need something more with a memory care. She was very nice about everything, even though she didn't think that their place would be a good fit for him. It's only three blocks from our hospital, so that makes it very nice. All the medical buildings and doctor visits are like three blocks away as well. It's not even two miles from Miracle Mile, which has got restaurants and two grocery stores, everything you would need.

I liked the fact that Florida Baptist Retirement Center was single level and the one unit I looked at was a one-bedroom, one bath on the end which included everything, like three meals a day, cleaning, lectures, and all those things. It also had a kitchenette and a small refrigerator. The person who showed me around was very knowledgeable. It's a place I wanted.

the cost for living there keeps raising every year dramatically, the resident is the one paying for there own food and yet they get low grade poor food and cooking. manager is only out for the money and cuts corner's on everything and has separate rules for each section of facility depending how much money you spend there. Maintenance is shabby and i am surprised that there are not a bunch of law suites on the place. the office don't know if they are coming or going

We've made reservations at Florida Baptist Retirement Center, and my mom will move in October. It has independent living, a nursing home, and assisted living on the facility. She could progressively move if she needed to. She'll be in a villa. She can still have her car, her golf cart, and a bike. There's hot water in the back. To me, it's just like where she is, a little bit smaller, but on flat, so she doesn't have to do stairs. The staff is fabulous. It's more money, but it is exactly what she wants, and my mom's Baptist. I wouldn't put my mother there if it wasn't great. Everybody was accommodating. The people who live in their assisted living go into the dining room. They've all been Covid tested, so we couldn't actually go into the dining room to see it. My mom can't walk upstairs, and there's a small ramp that she would have to go up. They opened the door, so she could look in to the dining room, and they sent a guy out. They have church online. If my mom wants to have the main meal of the day, I know they'll bring it to her villa. It's almost like a duplex, and it's not connected to the main building. Their main building has the assisted living, and there's a convalescent center there too. They go for all different levels. It's a Godsend. It's exactly what I wanted.
