The Best Assisted Living Communities in Clay County, FL

"I toured The Addison of Oakleaf. Carly was the person I worked with. She was very knowledgeable about the area and very easy to work with. The size of the rooms was nice, with more than enough room for somebody who was single and staying there by themselves. It's really nice. It was all clean, and there was no bad smell or anything like going to a nursing home or places like that. There was no smell at all. There was a smell, but it smelled good, like it was fresh. The dining area was nice. It was clean, and everything was good. The people there seemed like they enjoyed it. The parking has plenty of space."

"I will move into HarborChase of Mandarin. The main reason I chose it was that it's close to home. Everybody was professional and answered all my questions. It was all very good. The food was very nourishing. It wasn't the same food everybody gets out of things. I had lobster, my brother-in-law had filet mignon, so I don't think it's probably something they give to everybody."

"I went to The Windsor at Ortega. They gave us samples of different food items, and they were good. The building was super clean, up-to-date, and very inviting. The rooms were great. They were like little apartments with a bedroom, living room, and bathroom. They were very nice. The staff who assisted me was super helpful, very knowledgeable, and very kind to the residents."

"My father moved to Wyndham Lakes in Jacksonville. He is there for independent living, and we like that he has his own room. The cleanliness is pretty good, and the staff has great communication. I haven't eaten there, but he said the food is okay. They have a gathering room, a little store, a piano room, and a game room. It also has a covered walking area. There are a lot of things my dad could do to get out."

"We went to Brookdale Mandarin for an event, and the visit was very eye-opening. They have a wonderful place. The manager gave us a tour of the facility, and some of the independent living apartments that people are living in. The place was well-run and well-managed. The event we went to didn't have the Beatles or a named rock group, but they had a nice group of people there for dinner and an easy, relaxed event. I'd say I was very impressed with it. It's not our cup of tea, but it really opened my eyes as I'm sitting here in the house I have right now. I have an acre of land that has to be mowed every week. I have trees that need trimming. I have things that need some attention on the house and all that stuff. If I were in Brookdale, I wouldn't have that problem. It would just be taken care of, and I'll be in a lovely building with a nice view here and there. It had a swimming pool outside and a lot of that stuff. It's pretty nice. We just kind of wanted to look at what options there are. Obviously, home ownership is one thing, but it's a whole other job or two. My wife is kind of infirm too, so I've got a job with her, a job with the house, paying bills, and walking the dog. It's plenty, and this place would be a nice option. I wish we had known about it earlier. The person who helped us gave us a tour and took us around a little bit. She knows what she's doing."

"Brookdale Avondale was very, very clean. When I walked in, I didn't smell anything. The staff showed us the entire place, and it was very nice. I love the way it was set up because it felt like an apartment setting as opposed to a nursing home. All the doors were closed. They had addresses or names or some type of identity on every door. And I was just impressed. It was sparkling. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. She was so patient and so caring. She was great. The dining room was clean. They had a library. Everything was clean, nice, and comfortable looking."

"Sodalis Jacksonville is very nice and clean. The people there are amazing. My friend seems to like it well. He's happy there. As long as he's happy there, I'm happy. They treat him well. The staff is very good. He has just a one-room apartment, and it has a bathroom on the side. It has a mini kitchen with a little refrigerator and a microwave, and then I bought him a coffee pot and a toaster. It's like a little studio, but it doesn't have a stove or anything; it's just a microwave. They seem to have quite a few activities. They take them to appointments a couple of days a week. They have a movie theater, you can go sit and watch a movie, and they have a place where you can work out. They play bingo and stuff like that. He said the food is pretty good. I think he's getting a good deal for his money for what he's getting."

"It was lovely. I think the people that work there were very kind, very caring, and very hospitable. It was a very nice place, but my father is not ready. I just have all positive things to say about them. They're very kind and caring. Even the people that I met on the weekend went out of their way to help me. They spent a lot of time explaining things to me and showing me things, and I really appreciated it. I have no complaints at all. My father had trouble walking and they even were going to be able to make accommodations for him to be close to where the dining room is, so I really appreciated that. They had a calendar with things every day. I was worried if he was there, he might just stay in his room, and the staff said they always go and check on their residents and try to get them involved in things, so they don't just leave them there. This would have been the one that I would've chosen because it was so close to my home and because I really just like it."

"Brookdale Southpoint was a one floor facility, which was something that I was interested in. There was not a huge number of total beds. Their memory care unit was secure. They have a shared living suite or a room for two, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted more of a companion suite where the rooms are separated. The tour was still fine. People were very nice and I liked the place. They had an activity room, a library, and LifeStations. I met one of the women that worked in the memory care unit and I really liked her approach on how she communicates and deals with the residents."

"I toured Brookdale Southside. It's a resort. If I were being retired and looking for that, I would put that at the top of the list. It has a pool. It has everything. The staff who gave the tour was very professional and detailed, and focused on what your needs are and what you're looking for. They're very compassionate. I've seen a couple of the residents' rooms and the model. It's very detailed, very clean, and perfect for what you need."

"I toured Better Days Senior Living. The outside was very inviting, and things were very clean and neat. It looked like someone's home when I walked there. The air was refreshing, and the residents talked to us as they came out. They were talking and very inviting. The staff came out, as they were going about their business. They introduced themselves and they welcomed us, and so everything was very nice. The staff was friendly."

"I loved Starling at Nocatee Assisted Living and Memory Care. It was very clean, very well laid out, and there were lots of activities for the residents. The apartments were nice. It had walk-in showers and were very well thought out. It was relatively new and I just really enjoyed it. I liked their medication management capabilities and that they were willing to go above and beyond what was needed. I was very, very impressed. They were all extremely friendly. Everybody was smiling. They have an exercise room and a nail/beauty salon. Everything was in excellent condition, very aesthetic, and very well-maintained."

"My mom will move into Grand Living at Tamaya. It's warm. It's beautiful. They have every amenity. We knew it would be a place where my mom, at her age, would be able to feel comfortable and explore all kinds of social activities. They were fantastic. It was Tyler and Ashton. Both of them were nice, helped us out, and spent lots of time with us. My sister brought my mother back there yesterday. They were very kind to her. They were great. The facility was extraordinary, very open, and light. It's a place I would want to go to."
