"Sterling House seems very nice. It's about an hour from where I live. The people were nice. and there's a lot of activities there. The staff was very helpful to me. "

"I recently visited this community for a Health/Educational seminar and was greatly impressed. The residents seem to be very happy and enjoy it. I did not realize we had anything like this in our area. They offer completely separate Independent villas as well as Assisted Living and Memory Care. I would live there myself and would love it if my own parents lived near and could have this as an option. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for themselves, family members or friends.

"Superior Residences of Panama City Beach looks very nice to me. It seems to be one of the newer places. The staff was very friendly, very helpful, and very kind. I liked the way it was laid out there. The apartments seem to be much larger than the usual rooms and little bit more room than you’d expect. It had a nice kitchen, a nice living room, and bathroom area. I believe there were 3 floors. They had activity rooms and various other things there. I spoke with the residents there, and they seemed to be really happy with the food. They should definitely check out Superior Residences of Panama City Beach first because it seems to be one of the top of the line places in that area that I visited. "

"I was already familiar with Mathison Retirement Community because my mother-in-law lived there. We were very impressed with the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, the room arrangements, and everything about it. We were very pleased. During the tour, the staff was outstanding and very professional."

"The staff at Summer’s Landing has been very nice. They’ve been more than adequate for my mother-in-law’s needs. They take care of her really well. They’re very friendly. They check on her a lot. They take care of her medications for her. She has her own private room, and it seems to be clean. They have staff that comes in and straightens up and cleans in the room. They have a nice dining room area and activity area. They have activities and programs for the people that are living there. If they want to be in the room and have their own TV, they can, or they can join the activities. They have a lady who comes in one or two days a week and does her hair. I do know that therapists do come there and work with some of the people that need it. Overall, it seems to be a positive place. The people seem to get along. "
