Assisted Living Communities in Oxford, FL

"The Harrison of Wildwood was excellent. It was very neat. They were friendly. They showed us the rooms and the facilities. They answered all my questions about extracurricular activities and stuff like that. The rooms were very adequate for one person. The place was clean, and it smelled good. The dining area was very nice and spacious. The tables weren't crammed together, and that kind of stuff. That would be a place I would seriously consider for my mother. I thought the staff was very good and very thorough. We visited the exercise room. I was just very impressed with the place. It was very nice, spacious, and clean. I went into the restroom while I was there, and it was very clean. The residents smelled clean, and so did the rooms."

"I thought Sumter Senior Living was very nice. The only thing I can say is that I thought the food was not great. They kept their residents entertained, and they had a lot for them to do. The layout was good. There was not an outdoor smoking area, but they did allow pets, which was very nice. The staff was very, very nice, too. However, I felt like the dining situation was a little confusing. It was kind of disorganized."

"I visited the Village Veranda at Lady Lake's assisted living, and it was very nice. The building is fairly new, and the whole area is beautiful. The person who gave the tour was very nice and gracious. She explained everything nicely. There's nothing I can complain about the place. It looked very nice. I looked at the one-bedroom unit, which is what I was interested in, and it's very nice. A little bit smaller than what I've seen in one or two other people's bedrooms who are in assisted living, but there's nothing wrong with the room."

"I will move into Lake Port Square. I like that all the units have a little patio that's glassed in and are like separate rooms. This unit is gorgeous. It has a quartz countertop, lots of cabinet space, and a lot of storage space in all its units. I ate lunch there, and the food was very good. I like Cindy, the salesperson. She's a very nice person and accommodating, and the fact that they send a person out here with the floor plan of your unit to decide what to take will help tremendously in the move. You can bring two pets under 20 pounds. The full-time nurse is there Monday through Friday from eight to four. I met some of the staff, and everybody seemed friendly. The rooms are very large, and that is what I like most about them."

"Brookdale Chambrel Pinecastle's independent living is outstanding. It's the one that both my niece and I like. It's just a warm and friendly place. Everything was great, and the size of the room and the layout were perfect. It was just the best place we looked at. We looked at the 1-bedroom apartment. The best part about it was the kitchen. At another place we saw, there wasn't much of a kitchen, and I like to bake, so that'll be a problem. This one even had a dishwasher. I grew up washing dishes, so that would not even be a big deal, but they have it. It was also just laid out nicely, with lots of closet space, and it just looked like the perfect place. We were there for almost 2 hours, and the people we met and the places we saw were great. The person who gave the tour showed us everywhere and everything. She also said they have a few bakers there, so once in a while she'll find a treat inside her office door. She turned us around everywhere and talked about lots of group things. There are some groups with different activities. There's one little group that goes out to eat once in a while, and they pick different restaurants. There's another group that will go to a theater, or they'll go shopping and stuff like that. It's an active place. They even have a swimming pool there. We met a couple of the residents, and they were all very friendly. They said they hoped I would come and live there, and they don't even know who I am, so it was just really nice. Everybody was nice, warm, and friendly when we walked in the door. They welcomed us when we came in. The person who gave the tour flew down the hall, and then we went by the room where the nurses are, and we saw the beauty shop and barber shop. We saw all the activities for physical therapy, or if there is some special exercise that you want to do. They also have yoga classes. She showed me the calendar for the month, and it was just huge, so they do keep you busy. The place was clean, neat, and orderly, and there was plenty of parking. There's one gentleman there who has some type of a little wheelie thing that he gets around with, so they made sure that he got an apartment at the end of the hall. There's a stairwell there where he could park instead of inside his apartment, so they're very accommodating. It's just a place that you feel comfortable in, and a place to go home to."

"We visited Brookdale Paddock Hills and it was very nice. The facility was very comfortable, spacious, and clean and that's one thing we are looking for. The cost was a little higher. The staff was very good, clean, and polite. They were good people. The meal was excellent."

"My husband moved into The Windsor of Ocala. They've got so much going on every day. Different things, like they were playing upbeat music. And then they move their hands and their feet keeping time with the music, and they have different memory games. Like, they'll go through the alphabet with A and everybody thinks of every word they can think of that starts with the letter A, just different memory games. Also, ball games involving the muscles. The facility is very clean and they keep things up. You don't have to wait for things to be fixed or anything if something happens. They come in and clean all the rooms and everything in the common room every day. The food is very good and very nourishing. They get their range of vegetables, fruit, and everything. They get to snack in between breakfast and lunch. They have what's called snack and hydration. So they also give them a drink, a glass of water, a snack, and then again in the afternoon. In memory care, a lot of those people don't think to say, I need something to drink or water."

"Ocala Senior Living is the one I was impressed by in Ocala. What I like the least is that it is too far from my home in Summerfield and much farther than Bellevue. That was the most negative thing that I could say about that place. It is very nice, though. It was furnished beautifully. It had beautiful artwork. The staff seemed very nice. It is a larger place than the one in Bellevue, but they had an administrator who was one of the most knowledgeable people that I've spoken with regarding my husband's disease. He was wonderful. He was an excellent representative of Ocala Senior Living."

"Hampton Manor at Deerwood is a very nice home. I like it here. I moved here because my wife is deceased, so I couldn't take care of the house and myself, but I have been here for 18 months now. The food is incredible. They have meal after meal after meal, and they're good. It's like you have a catered meal, and it's so good. The staff is great, especially the medical staff. They are very, very good. I don't take part in activities because I'm still fairly active. I create my own activities, but listening to people who do them here, I think they're very good. There's bingo for the bingo fans. There are activities for people who want to be active. It is a very clean and very friendly community. It's the feeling you get when you come in here. I'm pretty much a private person, so people generally leave me alone, so that's very nice."

"Hawthorne Inn of Ocala was an average facility, but the interaction I saw between the residents was excellent. They were interactive. It's good. We were in the dining area because it was around lunchtime, and Dad got to see the interaction of people there and was concerned about the language barrier. Most of them were only English speaking, and he's a Spanish-speaking 99%, He wanted to make sure that the location had some bilingual people or people who spoke his language so he could interact with them properly. We visited the three types of room sizes. They were adequate. The room size, for our standards for one person, was kind of in the middle range. It wasn't that big. The hallways were clean. Everything's OK. We went through a library area where the residents got to pick books and read. They had somewhat of a selection. It wasn't a huge selection. Then we stepped outside. In our opinion, the outside was not an appropriate interaction for outdoor activities because there was none, other than a small porch with a couple of seatings. You just kind of sit there and maybe bask in the sun, and that's about it. My dad is more of the outdoorsy type that he would like interactions with a garden or growing tomatoes, or there are animals in the facilities, or just basically gazing and seeing what's going on in there to kind of keep his mind occupied. I personally liked the wood floors. That made it a nice, very homey, and warm feeling. The staff was friendly. All the spaces that I visited were clean. I got a peek at their activity room or craft room where they were doing some painting or something like that, and it was small because this looks like a smaller facility than the other one we visited. I saw their menu and they had a variation of items."

"I toured Camelot Chateau Assisted Living. It's very nice. They're very nice people and very courteous. My husband's grandmother was there before she passed. I toured a little apartment. It looked clean. It looks like it has all the necessities for a person that wants to live there. It's very nice. It had a bathroom, but it didn't have a kitchen. I think they have a salon. The dining room was large and very nice. They had someone there from Oak-Griner Church that were singing in the dining room, which was wonderful. It's very neat. It looks like a little park. It's great. My husband's grandmother was there. I would recommend it."

"I like Brookdale Canopy Oaks. The location is awesome because I could walk there if I needed to. It's a small facility, and I like that. It had a good atmosphere when I walked in the door. It was very friendly. They gave me a good tour. The staff seemed genuinely interested in the residents there. The place appeared to be very clean. They have this little spot where residents can garden and stuff like that. They seemed to have zeroed in on individual needs, which is good. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The receptionist was very welcoming, too. However, I didn't care for the layout of the bathroom. And the room seemed small, too."

"I toured Canterfield of Ocala. I wanted my mom to go there because it was beautiful. It's very nice and half the price. I liked the rooms and how they were designed. I liked the services that they provided. The assistant manager was so helpful. It was an open room waiting to be filled with furniture, but it was perfect the way it was designed. I would recommend it as one of the top choices."
