Assisted Living Communities in Lake Placid, FL

"I went to Lakeshore Manor at Lake Jackson. It was beautiful but they were very, very expensive. I like it because it has a lot of choices in floor plans. The building seemed to be in really good condition. They were working on some issues that they had on the structure, but nothing major that I could see. There's a lot of floor plans there, which is good. They have about the same number of amenities. It's a newer building than the rest of them. I saw one of the one-bedroom units that was in there. The dining room was nice. They have a library and craft rooms, and stuff like that, but it was out of our price range. The staff wasn't as nice there, too."

"The Manor at Lake Jackson was a very beautiful place but was totally locked down. It's for people who are really mentally incapacitated. They had activities for the residents and were doing bingo in one room. They also had gardening and all sorts of group activities. They're inappropriate for my situation, but it's a wonderful place. They had nice rooms, and it was well designed, clean, and had everything you need. It's terrific."

"Our visit was very good; we were very impressed. The accommodations were nice.They had apartments, and also just rooms. The staff members that we met were all friendly, and the residents were up and about and busy all over. We had a meal there and the food was very good. Another thing I liked about this community is that they have four dining rooms; three of them serves three meals a day and the fourth one is open from 7:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. Some of the amenities include a library, exercise machines, and table hockey. They also have a table set up for games and puzzles, a little convenience store, and a therapy room with therapists. It was a very attractive place and has a good skilled nursing area."

"I visited this facility with my great grandmother (aging, but still beautiful heiress to a dental floss fortune) and she absolutely loved it! She has lived in a beautiful ocean side estate for most of her life, but now in her later years she needs attentive care close to her family. The staff was so kind and cheerful. She can’t wait to move in! "

"Balmoral Assisted Living took my mom, even though mom was not acceptable to them. But they went to visit her a few times in the nursing home that she was in and they couldn't leave her there. So, they did take her. For the last week of her life, they were awesome. They had her room fixed up like home. We felt she was much calmer, more comfortable, and more relaxed. It has a very homey atmosphere. We were able to spend time with her, and lay in bed with her. They were awesome. I would recommend this facility to anybody. The staff was very caring. Mom could not eat at that point, but they tried to cater to her, bringing her whatever they thought she might eat. I was very, very pleased with this facility."

"We chose Sunny Hills for my mother-in-law because it's close to where I live. It's not bad. They're in the process of doing some renovations. They're going to redo the lobby area. The rooms are very adequate and the staff is overall good. She says the food is usually pretty good. They have activities and she participates in some of them."
