Assisted Living Communities in Lakeland, FL

"Caring, compassionate, and efficient staff. Great place to call home."

"Brookdale Winter Haven looked very nice and the rooms were clean. Everything was clean. The personnel were very informative and answered all my questions. I checked the dining area and the common rooms. The salon was closed, and someone comes every week, not just once a month, which is a plus. The dining area looked fine. They say that they have nice meals, but my parents are very basic. I was more interested in whether they serve the basics instead of just what fancy food they have, but they have both. I met with the director, and then someone who showed me around. Both of them know what they can offer and how they handle things. They answered all my questions."

"My grandmother moved to Hawthorne Inn. I like that it's a small facility. It's very home-like, and it seemed to be a perfect fit for my grandma. They have scheduled activities. Every time I've gone in there, it's been very clean. Her room is big. It's not hospital-like, it's more of a home-like. The staff has been great. All of them are expensive, so it's the hard part."

"I have been here for about 5 years. I love what I see. I just love the people who care for me. I love the amenities. I love how clean and smooth things are ran. They do a super job of caring for me. The food is great wonder & Phillip are amazing. The whole staff are wonderful. I have my POA distribute cards all over about the community. Everyone is just super even the higher up. Daisy is doing a wonderful job with activities. I respect everyone here. The Club at Haines City is a great place to live. I love Vicki. If you are thinking of sending your loved one here you will not be disappointed. It is wonderful and great here. It is clean."

"I like the cleanliness of American House Zephyrhills. I like the friendliness of the people. I like the room. I like everything about it. They have a studio and a one-bedroom, and I like the one-bedroom with a balcony. The person who gave the tour was nice. I haven't tried the food, but I know they supply three meals a day."

"We toured Savannah Court of Brandon. Everything was nice. It's a little bit older but it was in very good condition. The rooms were nice. They had a hair salon for women. They had physical therapists that came in there too. We didn't eat there. It's a nice facility, and the people were very nice."

"My mom has been placed at Aldea Green. It's very nice. They do a good job keeping the grounds nice. When you first walk in, there's an area where residents can gather to talk or read the paper or whatever they want to do, and there's always people there. In other places I've gone into you don't see residents around as much, but you always see residents when you go to Aldea Green, and they all seem to be very happy. The staff is great. They take very good care of my mom. They're very attentive. They're always very pleasant. They go in and check on her very frequently. If she is not out doing one of the activities, they'll go in and check on her to see if she's okay. And if she doesn't show up for a meal, they go in to find out why she's not there and if she wants to go down. They're very attentive. My mom goes to bingo, they do crafts, and they have entertainment come in twice a week. They'll take them to stores. The dining room is very nice. It's like walking into a restaurant. My mom seems to like the food. I've only had one meal there and it was good. And they make it part of their job to know every single resident by name. Every one of the staff knows my mom by name. "

"Hawthorne Inn of Brandon was very nice. It was easily accessible. They offer transportation, and they bring the provider to the residents. You don't have to worry about picking up your loved one. The doctor comes there. They've got programs, activities, and field trips. The two staff members I met were fine, but I didn't meet a lot of staff as I did at the other place."

"My brother-in-law was at Twin Creeks for respite. They just really took good care of him and let us know everything that was going on, if there's a problem they call. The room was very clean, very nice, and had a good layout. The food smells good but we never tried it. There were activities, but he didn't participate. They're a little higher than a couple of places, but there are not too many places to take him."

"Promise Pointe Senior Living was a good place. They had the dining, the housekeeping, and everything, but they were a little expensive. I liked the apartment they showed me. They had good activities. It was really nice."

"Our tour experience with Water Edge of Lake Wales was very good. They explained the place to me very well. I saw a studio apartment with a kitchenette that was unfurnished. So, you have to furnish it. The amenities were great. They had a library, a hobby shop, and the place was very clean. It was like a luxury hotel."

"I was very impressed with The Meridian at Brandon. I thought that the place was great. I had a nice tour. I was very impressed with the facility, and I was very impressed with the way that facility was kept, and with the people who gave me the tour and told me all about it. It's bright, airy, and clean. They take good care of the building. I like the design of it, too. There are a lot of very big open, airy spaces. There's a lot of little nooks and crannies where people can sit. They have cool things like fireplaces and a place where you can walk your dog. They have good security, too. It's independent living, assisted living, and then they have a memory care unit. And I was very impressed with the way that they did that, because a lot of people go in knowing they're going to graduate from independent living to assisted living, and then actually wind up needing full 24-hour supervision. I only met three staff, and they were all delightful. The food looked fresh and well prepared. Their menu has a lot of variety and the people who live there have choices. If they don't want the main thing on the menu, they can get choices. They can also get service if they miss a meal like they come down and it's too late for breakfast like they overslept or whatever, or if they want a late lunch. The dining room accommodates people, which I thought was good."

"I toured The Crossings at Riverview. We spent more time in their assisted living. What stood out was the brightness of the place. It's a very bright home. And the staff was friendly. It looked clean and very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and homey. They were very friendly and welcoming. The staff who gave the tour was professional and friendly, too. We played bingo with the residents, and they seemed fine and happy. We like it. And it's close to our house, so we like that, too."

"From our first interaction to our last this has been an eye opener to the needs and minds of seniors . Mom was diagnosed with early stage dementia and the care staff and nurse re assured us always that this process of losing their independence takes time and patience and that’s what the staff have patience. I watch them get beat down but if it was easy most families would keep their loved ones home but it’s not. They have updated rooms and it doesn’t feel like a nursing home."
