The Renaissance of Florence

Larry

My mother is at The Renaissance of Florence for assisted living. They have excellent caregivers but poor management. I think the people that take care of my mother are pretty good, but they have a high turnover of employees. And their management doesn't communicate well with the families of the clients. Money has been stolen from my mother at that facility. The management there is awful. I'm dissatisfied with their whole management operation, and I'm glad to be moving my mother out of there. My mother doesn't participate in all of their activities, but their programs are certainly satisfactory to above average. My mother complains about the food because she says they get the same food served repeatedly, but it's good quality. Overall, their facilities are excellent. It's a beautiful building, it's very modern, and it's very nice, but they don't provide good care. They're also overpriced.

My dad has moved into The Renaissance of Florence. It's a very nice facility. They're very sweet there, and it's close to me. The rooms are spacious. It's a nice place. They have activities and they give them a calendar. If they don't show up, they come and get them and ask them if they would like to come. They have different Bible studies, and they take them out to lunch occasionally. They have physical activities like kickball, but they're sitting down. They have bingo, and they had a therapy dog come in the other day. From everybody I've met, they're just over the top. They're amazing, very sweet, and very attentive. They care about the residents. I did try the food one day and it was excellent. My dad said it's really good. That was one of the things that the lady that signed us up for. She said she's worked at three or four different places, and the food here is the best she's ever had. The value for money is good, the rooms were bigger than in another facility, and they were cheaper.

I looked at some communities and liked Brookdale Florence the best. Here, I have a bedroom and a living room. My room has two rooms but most of the others only have one room. They also clean the rooms every day. Everything, so far, has been fine. The food has been good, too. They have an exercise program and a bunch of activities that I haven't participated in yet. They have had some food repeat, but what they serve is good. The activities are good, too.

I am in assisted living at Brookdale Florence right now. I have a good impression because it had a good reputation and is really beautiful. The staff is very friendly. I live alone in my room, and I love it. We have a few activities. The food is good. It costs me a little less than where I used to live in Florida.

Brookdale Florence was really nice and had a courtyard. They showed three sizes of room that were adequately sized and set up like an apartment. There were several different hallways and a nice eating area and kitchenette that all the residents can use. You can go and eat at any time. I liked that the rooms had a microwave and a small refrigerator. They went on trips to Walmart, the grocery store, and doctors' appointments. I was really impressed with it. The staff was very accommodating and helpful.

My parents are moving into Merrill Gardens soon. The rooms are nice and spacious. I think they're more than adequate. They do a little remodeling after a resident leave or when they get a new one coming in. They make it all nice. They also have a lot of activities. They have regular church services, exercises for elderly, all kinds of board games, and group discussing history. They have planned activities basically every day.
