The Best Assisted Living Communities in Levy County, FL

"It seemed to have really good care for the residents. They have a good variety of activities. They had some small community places, like in the hallways there were gathering spaces that would be nice to sit with your family and friends and have a visitor. Some of the public spaces were really comfortable. This is my friend's second choice, and she likes it very much. The staff was informative, friendly, and easy to work with. it was very clean. When we were there, they still had lots of their Christmas decorations up, so it was bright and cheerful. It was warm and inviting. The rooms were small but comfortable. It was easy to see how she could arrange her space. The dining area is clean and nice, but nothing especially different there. The courtyard was nice, they had a small garden. My friend has always been a gardener, so there was a place that she might be able to help with some of the gardening."

"My mom is a resident of Charter Senior Living of Gainesville. It is close to my house. The rooms are big, and the people are nice. The services available are cleaning, nursing, activities, and monitoring. They have a hair salon. They have a coffee and fruit area, and they have cookies, too. I think they're doing a great job. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. However, the meals seem cafeteria-style in quality."

"I toured The Windsor of Gainesville. It was very nice and very upscale. The only problem is that the room was very small. I couldn't put anything other than a twin bed in there and I wanted to put a bigger bed. Ruth was wonderful and she was great."

"We visited Trustwell Living at Hunters Crossing Place to take a look at their assisted living. I can say that the staff we met with was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. We toured the building, and it was clean and kept up well. They're in the process of updating, so they're replacing the carpet and painting the walls. The building is like a block so no matter where you walk, as long as you go in one direction, you will come right back to the same place. In the center of all of that is a beautiful garden that they've been working on, and there's a very large screened-in patio area that probably has about 10 or 15 sofas and chairs, and other patio furniture. The room that we picked out has two small rooms. One room will hold a bed and a very small dining room set with a little table and two little chairs. It has a kitchenette, too. That room with her bed will have a TV on the wall. She'll have a nightstand next to the bed and a chair for her to sit on and put her shoes on. It has a huge walk-in shower and a big bathroom. The other room she's going to use as her living room and sitting room. She's going to have two recliners in there, a table and lamp, and she's going to have a dresser in there underneath the TV. There's a large closet that is open, but it's not one that you walk into. It's just like an alcove, and we're going to put a curtain there so that you don't see the contents. It's very nice. I'm not sure what their titles are, but there's one gentleman there who has kept in touch with us and has given us advice to help us find primary care for this relative of mine. It helped us in the process of getting this done. We met with the director, too. She visited with us and was very pleasant and down-to-earth. She also gave us a lot of advice on where to look for things and told us what services are available. We visited during lunchtime, and there were a lot of people in the cafeteria-like area. It has a lot of tables and a very pretty atmosphere. When we got ready to leave, we learned that you have to push a button for somebody to come, so one of the workers in the kitchen was nearby and came by to open the door for us and to let us out. I can go and have lunch with my loved one anytime. I could go and pick her up, take her out to lunch, or come and participate in some of the activities. They have bingo, and they have a movie with popcorn, and a couple more things. I can do any activity with her, it's encouraged for the family to do that."

"The Village at Gainesville is extremely beautiful, but it's also expensive. It's more expensive than any of the other ones that we went to. However, it's worth it to live there. They have everything you could think of. They have all the group clubs that my husband would just die to be a part of. They have plenty of things that I'm very interested in. Life there would have been very nice. It's very close to home, and so we wouldn't have had to move and all of that. They had invited us to some different events that they had there. They had a luau, which was fun. We went one time for a luncheon. It's beautiful. The place is gorgeous. It's huge. It's got everything from apartments to beautiful condos. It's nice. The young lady that gave us the tour calls us personally to invite us to events that they're having. She fell in love with us, and we were with her. I even told her that since she just got married, when she got around to having a baby, since I was a nanny for 22 years, I would look after her baby for her. She is a sweetheart. The food is fabulous. They had three restaurants, a bistro, and a fine dining restaurant that they were getting ready to open. The properties are just beautiful. They had a pizza place where they would fire your pizza in a pizza oven right in front of you. It's really nice."
