Assisted Living Communities in Lake Wales, FL

"My father has moved into Spring Haven Senior Living. He chose it. We had him in an assisted living before, and he wanted to try independent living, so he is in an independent living apartment at Spring Haven. There is supervision in the building, but he is becoming more involved with the community there. First time in a year and a half he has gone down to play cards, and he has gone to play dominoes. He prefers their food. He seems to be very, very happy, and that makes us all happy. I don't have any problem with the facility itself. Activities are much better than where he was, and he is paying $1,000 a month less."

"We toured The Club at Haines City. They were very friendly and welcoming, and they came in and saw what we were like. It just happened to be that day they were doing Christmas in July, and my wife participated in a couple of things they were doing. What's nice about it is that it's small. My wife does everything with her wheelchair. She can transfer and use her walker, but for long distances, she uses her wheelchair. There are about 50 residents there, so it's a small place. It's one floor, and it was very homey. Also, what was interesting was that a couple of the residents, when they said, "Are you gonna go here?" We said we're thinking about it, and they said, "You won't regret it.""

"My father is in Hawthorne Inn Lakeland. It is a wonderful place. He's on the locked-down unit. We have a party tonight to go to there. The rooms are very nice. Cleanliness is perfection. The staff is wonderful and they take very good care of him. They call me for anything and everything, and I can call them for anything and everything. The food was delicious. They have things going on all the time. It's kind of expensive, but we're hoping that he can get on Medicaid as a secondary, and it would cut it in half because it's $4550 a month, so that's pretty costly."

"I toured Brookdale Highlands. They were great. I would say that they were open and friendly. They were accommodating to what we were looking for. We got to interact with some of the residents, and it was great too. The residents seemed happy. The facility was very clean and organized. The activities looked very interactive, and the facility was in great shape."

"Foxtail Lodge is very nice. It seemed very well maintained, and they're adding two more rooms that are very well done. They aren't furnished yet but they have them completed as far as the floors and walls. There was a huge living room, and they had two dining areas. They have non-ambulatory people eating in the kitchen area and ambulatory people in the dining rooms. They had a menu and activities on the refrigerator for the month."

"Aum Haven Assisted Living Facility was very, very nice. It was a house made into a facility. It had all of the ADA accommodations and it was well-kept. I had a lot of good feedback from the residents when I asked about how they were being taken care of. The staff was nice and very helpful. They would provide meals 3 times a day and they had 24/7 staffing."

"We toured Lake Morton Senior Living, which was very clean. We ate lunch there, and the food was delicious. I viewed some of the apartments, which were very nice and reasonably priced. They have activities there, and the apartments are very roomy."

"The Courtyard At Granada is almost like a house that somebody converted. It looked very nice. It was a little bit cheaper than the other place, but with the drive, I'm thinking that the other place is going to be more suited to us. They don't have a memory care area. That's one of the other things I was a little concerned about. They don't have a locked-down situation except at night; they just close the main doors of the facility and lock them, whereas the other place has an actual place that's locked down inside the building. It seemed like a fairly decent place, but as far as staff and food, I don't know anything about it. I don't know about their accreditation. The food looks fine, but I don't know about taste or anything like that. The woman who took me around on the tour was the owner of the place, and she was very knowledgeable. I didn't meet many of the staff. I did see a copy of the menu, and it looked fine. A lot of the rooms are private, but they share a bathroom. That wouldn't work out for a lot of people, including my wife. She's a very private person, and she would not like that at all. Their dining area is very nice."

"Windsor at Celebration is very expensive, and the staff told me that it's going to raise the cost every year. But the appearance is very good. It's very nice, it's beautiful, and it's clean. They're friendly. We had lunch, and it was nice. The meal experience was very good. I'm pleased with everything, but it's too much money. If it was much cheaper, I would have taken it. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. With all the workers there, you wouldn't imagine that you're in a senior living, and you would feel like you're in a plush hotel. I really like it. The rooms were sparkling clean. It smelled nice and it looked nice. The workers were very nice, and they had a lot of workers there. There's a long table in the dining room. You can take whatever you want. They give you ice cream, and they give you coffee. They give you what you like. The staff said it is left up to me to clean my room or do anything for myself, but every Friday, she told me that the worker would come and clean the apartment, which is very good. If they don't see you at breakfast time or hear anything, they come to look for you and see if you are all right. They bring the meals if you want. They check on you every minute. There's a big swimming pool, hot and cold. It's nice."

"I toured The Palms of Sebring. I was impressed with the facility and how neat it was. It would be like moving into a fancy hotel. I was also impressed with the management of the facility. I met with the marketing liaison, Mary, and she was very good. Looking at their program, I would go with the option there as an independent, and they have four different scales. So, if something happened to me medically, they have the expertise and the staff there to go up to the highest level. They had everybody there, depending on my medical situation, to take care of me. They have a meal program, which is only $225 a month."

"Very good care and attentive service at this facility for my dad who has dementia. Always willing to go to the extra mile. My dad has been a resident for over two years and we have not had any issues relating to the level of care. "

"My cousin has been at The Meadows at Cypress Gardens for a couple of months now. I am happy. The people and the manager are very nice. They clean and wash his clothes. They have Bingo, they play cards, listen to music, and drive to outside entertainment. They have a garden where they can feed the birds and give food to the cats. They play checkers there."

"I did go to Bellatage Assisted Living. I didn’t pursue it. My friend was there, and she was bored out of her mind that she wanted to go home. They didn’t have enough activities. I know they have a movie theater, but she was still determined to go home. The room was very nice. It was very nice and meticulously clean, but she wouldn’t stay there. They have a group lunchroom and a movie theater, but she was bored out of her mind. My friend did not like that place at all, even though it was meticulously clean, and they have updated appliances, which was very nice. "
