Assisted Living Communities in Orlando, FL

"The Grove at Trelago was nice and the food was good, but the apartments were too small. It's terrific, the ambience, the amenities, the swimming pool, the gardens, and the food. The only thing was that the apartments were too small for us. For other people, they may be OK. They have card rooms and a movie theater. The library was very small and inadequate."

"We chose Brookdale Dr. Phillips for my mother-in-law because it's closest to the house. They offered what we needed, and they were very professional when they gave us a tour. The staff is very good, but now that we've moved her, I question the security because the doors remain unlocked late at night. When we visited, the doors were not locked yet, so anybody could come in and out, and there's hardly anyone at the front desk. Every single time we came to visit, nobody was there. The activities, like Wii, are good. The food is pretty bland and not very good. I saw a beauty salon and an exercise room."

"My sister is in Ambiance of Maitland. The facility itself is beautiful. It's brand new. It only has about three or four residents now. They are still working the kinks out. You can only have hot water when taking a shower or doing laundry on Mondays or Thursdays. The staff is very nice. They do not provide transportation to doctor's appointments, though on their website they said they provided transportation, but they said that was just meant for activities. I did have lunch with her a couple of weeks ago when I was there. It was a little bland for my liking, but I guess they have to please a lot of people, so that's understandable. Everything was fine."

Lotus Home of Winter Park is a small-scale assisted living residence situated at 2030 Hidden Cove in Winter Park, Florida, offering seniors a homelike setting with personal attention and supportive care. According to Florida's health-facility database, the community is licensed with just six private beds, which allows for a highly individualized and intimate living experience.

The community provides essential assisted-living services including assistance with daily living tasks, medication management, housekeeping and laundry, and three home-style meals daily. While specific amenities such as fitness centers or large communal dining halls were not documented, the boutique size suggests a focus on personal comfort, close caregiver-resident relationships, and a family-like atmosphere. As an assisted-living residence within a residential neighborhood, nearby attractions include the charming downtown Winter Park area, scenic parks, lakeside walking trails, boutique shopping, and easy access to Central Florida medical facilities—offering residents both tranquility and convenience.

"The staff are friendly and helpful. Entering you can see they follow CDC guidelines. The property feels remote, but it is so close to everything. There is a calander for daily activities, that include a variety of things to do. "

"We toured HarborChase of Dr. Phillips. It was a small complex, not as large as I would like it to be. There was a very limited amount of activities, but the pricing was good. We didn't eat there, but the food looked good, and people were eating at the time. The staff was good and friendly and to the point of feeling like we were at home. It's only a five-year-old facility, and the layout wasn't bad, but we didn't like Orlando. It's just far too crowded, but there were medical facilities nearby, and it was excellent."

"We like Bridgeport Senior Living-Port Cardiff Llc because it's an actual home environment and they've got a couple of caregivers for every three people. They're making sure mom gets up and gets out into the living room with everybody else or out of the kitchen when they're eating and stuff. They keep it very spotless there and it's just a pretty home. The outdoors is very beautiful. It's very pretty going there, on the front side and the back side. It's been too hot to sit out on the porch right now, but they've got pretty birds back there. The landscape is very pretty. The staff is very nice and very accommodating. Amanda oversees the home and recently we had to have a mobile dental service come in and she tries to make sure she's there or is aware of what's going on. When I can't be there, I know that she tries to be there for those extra services. She had to have an in-house X-ray done and I happened to be there when they were doing that. They're very nice and very sweet people. We just moved mom from one side of the room to the other side and they went ahead and did that for us. They made sure that her bed was moved over and everything was moved over for her. They have bathrooms where they give them showers, a nice living room, and several reclining chairs so that the residents can sit in a nice chair while they're in the living room. It's like your normal house so it doesn't feel like you're in a hospital or something. I know they have a menu that they try to go by, but if they don't like the food, they try to accommodate what they like. I know they have served her oatmeal for breakfast, for instance, because they know she likes oatmeal. They have activities for them to get involved with, which is nice. They bring in people and Amanda has sent me pictures of my mom doing some of the activities. The price we pay is up there with the other bigger facilities, probably about the same, but she's getting more attention and they get to know each other in the home because it's on a smaller scale."

"I went to Florida Golden Adult Care. I didn't talk to the staff that much. They are not really welcoming. They have a gym. They have a place outside where the residents can sit down. It's like a little park area. The upkeep is good."

"We chose Emeritus for my mother because her general doctor is associated with it. The neighborhood is close to our house. I go there every day, it's really nice and she's very happy there. The price is way too much. It is $4,200 a month. I checked with four or five different ones around and they're all the same price. It's a very nice place with good food. They have different activities going on. "

"Grand Villa was awesome, the people were really nice, and if they had openings, I would choose that. The staff was down to earth. They took the seniors out on a schedule, and it looks like they schedule activities for the whole month."

"Horizon Bay Lake Orienta is a very clean facility, and even if it was located in a busier street, it was still relatively quiet. The place is beautiful, and the people are nice. The inside of the facility is very nice too. It’s a wonderful facility. "

"Brookdale Altamonte Springs was very nice, clean, and well taken care of. They had different exercises and structured memory activities. The cafeteria was very nice. It looked like a small restaurant. It was very nice and clean. We were able to have free lunch with them, and the food was very flavorful. The cafeteria was on the main floor, so you just have to take the elevator down to get there. The apartments were very nice, very comfortable, and clean. There were some occupancies available so we were able to see the empty ones, e.g., a studio and a one-bedroom. They were roomy and very comfortable. The gentleman who met with us provided us with a lot of information."

"My 90 year old grandfather had resided in the Tuskawilla Emeritus since August 21, 2010 until he passed away, and I cannot say strong enough praise regarding the facility. My grandfather was treated with respect and patience. His residence is kept very clean and tidy, the trash can's seem to be always empty.His restroom was always well-kept and sanitary. Emeritus really felt like home for him and made his last days special. It receives constant professional attention from the maintenance manager. Also contributing to the feel at home feeling is Deborah, who is the "Cruise" Director. She always has many activities planned for each day .The kitchen staff provides great tasting and healthy meals.They would have family brunches about once a month.This is where the whole family could come for brunch.It was a great feature as it was a good setting to bring the younger members of the family to see grandpa.All in all Emeritus is a great facility and I would recommend to anyone who has an elderly relative who needs a new residence.
