Assisted Living Communities in Hollywood, FL

"We toured Oakmonte Village of Davie. It was very new, like less than five years old. It was very much like a five-star hotel. It was beautiful. In all the different buildings, they had a piano with a bar area, and they had 4:00 pm happy hours. As we were leaving, we saw the shuttle come and people getting on the shuttle. We walked by a class that they were doing, sort of a chair yoga class. We loved everything about it except that it's a little far from my house and my mom's worried about that. The sales staff that took us around knew all the financials and these kinds of things, but he didn't necessarily represent a tour."

"My father-in-law is now a resident of Sterling Aventura. We chose this place for him because the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we just had a good feeling as soon as we walked in. It seems like everybody's been working there for a long time. They have activities for the people there all day long, but they don't have very many amenities, though they have a hairdressing salon, an outdoor space seating area, a TV room, and a dining room. The food has been good so far. "

"Miami Gardens Manor, Inc. was a nice facility. The people were nice and accommodating, but the quarters were pretty small. The residents there seemed to be doing fine and everything, but it wasn't a good fit for my brother. They serve meals, and everyone gets the same thing. So, on any particular day, the menu is the menu. It's not one with choices. For the tour experience, they showed us the whole facility. We even had an opportunity to talk to a couple of the residents. It was very well done. There was nothing negative about the visit; it just wasn't something that felt like the right fit. The person who toured us did everything possible to make sure that we understood where things were, how they worked, what the facility was, and how it looked. One thing I like is that my brother likes to go for walks, and the area that Miami Gardens was in would have provided a nice area for him to walk. There were nice walkways and everything. It was pretty nice. There's not a lot of commercial activity right near it. It was very clean."

"I toured Providence Living at Pembroke Pines. It was very welcoming. The grass is well maintained. It's a homey-type layout. You feel like you're coming home. The staff was very, very helpful. She put you at ease and answered all the questions. They're trying to finish doing whatever to make it more homey. The dining area was set up like a family setting, and they had provisions for people in wheelchairs."

"We have chosen The Palms at Plantation for my parents because it's close to our house. We can just go over there more times a day. The staff members were very knowledgeable about the subject and had a lot of experience. Each person there was pulled from another facility, so they all had long-term experience. They have all kinds of activities. They have nursing staff like RNs besides LPNs. They have an activity director, too. The director has been very knowledgeable and helpful."

"I live in Villa Rio Vista. It's a very nice place. They let me handle my medications a little bit more freely than most places because I work a job, and I have to take them with me. They don't require me to be here when they give them to me. They leave them in a package, and then I take them when I come home from work a little bit later at night. We're free to come and go as we please. I like that we're located near stores, Jimmy John's, Burger King, and Dunkin' Donuts. We also live near a Walgreens. It is centrally located. We have an extra TV room. I don't take part in much of the activities, but we have that. We have upstairs and downstairs. It's not quite like a house. It was converted from an apartment building to assisted living. It's probably the nicest one in this town. The staff is excellent. They always take care of us and always ask if we need help. If someone has a little trouble going out and getting sodas or something, the staff will buy the sodas. He'll go out of his way to make sure we're happy. The facility is excellent, and it's landscaped nicely. It's lovely. I think it's worth the money because utilities are included, and we have a refrigerator in our room, TVs, and an extra activities room. I just think this place is top-notch. They treat me well."

"My mother has moved into Jacob's Tender Loving Care Assisted Living Facility. I liked the vibe they gave me. It's more of a home environment. I was there when they were preparing meals, and they looked appetizing, and my mom said the food was good. It is family-owned and I met the mother, daughter, and son. They're very nice. I met a couple of the employees there. My mother likes them, and they seem nice to her. It's in a nice community. It's a clean and nice place. Value for money is great."

"We chose it because of the convenience to the facilities that we are familiar with. They have programs to keep us busy. We're happy with our choice and the facilities there. My wife and I will be having a two-bedroom and two baths. It's a great place. "

"We met a lot of staff at Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. It was a beautiful facility. It might have been tough for me to be there even if we could have afforded it, because they have a lot of glass windows on their top floor, and a lot of that creates problems for me with the glare. We still liked them a lot, and we were impressed with them, but the cost was not doable, so it's not for me. The people were very nice and very helpful. We met the chef and somebody else. When we went in there, we were aware of the security quite early, because they gave us name tags and they wanted to see our ID, that kind of stuff. They were very impressive. The other thing we were interested in was their food provider."

"I toured Williamsburg Landing. The experience was great. The community seemed to be very caring. Every staff member I encountered was very nice and smiled when I approached. The dining room area was nice and clean, and right across from it was the community center where they did the activities, which looked very nice. I saw a studio apartment and a one-bedroom. They were spacious and good for one person. The staff was fantastic."

"We visited the independent living community of Independence Hall. It's an older building, but it's very nice and they have renovated the entire place. The staff was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. We had lunch there, too, and the food was excellent. The rooms themselves were very nice. We looked at a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom apartment. You bring your own furniture in."

"The Meridian at Waterways is where I would want to go if I needed to go somewhere. I was extremely happy with it. They are a rather new development. It's right on a major waterway. The views are fantastic. The dining is on the seventh floor, and you have views of the ocean and the waterway. It just appealed to me immensely. There's beautiful artwork in the common areas and the hallways. It was nice. The staff was fantastic. I met with the chef and he explained the meals that they prepare and the fact that if you have a favorite recipe from your family, you bring it in and he will prepare it. If you have a favorite cookie recipe, he will make cookies for you. It was just a good feeling. It was beautiful. The rooms are reasonably sized. The only comment I would have is the windows in the various rooms seem to be small, but then when you're in your room, I don't think you stand around looking out the window. I would like larger windows, but they are what they are. There's the ease of parking. The entryway has a beautiful sculpture as you enter the lobby. They have a nice receptionist and receiving area. The hallways are not long and hotel-like. They seem to be very short. All in all, I was very very impressed with it."
