Assisted Living Communities in Palatka, FL

"My mother-in-law is going to this community. We like that the facility itself is very clean and very new. The employees were very concerned, very knowledgeable, and very helpful with any questions we had. Everything is right there. They had the gym, the beauty salon, the doctors, and the nurses. The place itself is brand new. It's only like six to eight months old, so everything is in pristine condition and the bedroom size is roomy."

"My experience with Kiva was a good experience as the staff were all very nice and thoughtful in this time. My family and I really appreciated the time and effort that the staff put in to caring for our family member while they stayed at Kiva. We feel they went above what was expected of them and their duties. I would recommend them to people who needed assisted living. We tour others and made our decision on Kiva and are so glad we picked them. It had a very clean and nice atmosphere to it. It was always clean and did not have a odor as others we toured had bad odors and was unclean in places. Kiva was clean and that is why we decided to pick Kiva and put our family member in their hands which turned out to be a good decision. We all agreed we would pick Kiva again if needed. "

"My experience with Putnam Caregivers has been great. It's a very relaxed atmosphere. My brother felt very secure and very comfortable there. The rooms are very clean. He has his own room. The dining area is very nice and clean. They have a patio, but they don't have a library or a beauty salon. It's a home."

"I moved my mother in 2 months ago. It’s assisted living facility. First thing, my mother wanted to go back close to where she previously lived so she could continue seeing her doctor ‘cause her doctor could come out there. The price is extremely affordable with what she gets for her social security. They would also work with us to get direct from Medicaid. We really liked the fact that the place was very clean. It’s very bright and airy too. It wasn’t cluttered. My mom got there very late in the evening, and the staff was extremely friendly. They offered to make my mom a snack because it was way after dinner and they’re not sure when she had eaten. They helped my sister get her room set up because my sister had to put her names on all of her clothes because they do the laundry. So while they were helping her with the setup phase, they helped my mom sit up in her bed so she could have breathing treatment. My mom loves the fact that they have hospital beds in there so she can raise and lower it as she needs. That way she can sit more comfortably. Even though they don’t allow wheelchairs unless it’s necessary, they’re allowing my mom to use the wheelchair because she has corns on the sides of her feet that are extremely painful. They have meals posted on a bulletin board when you first come in, what they’re gonna be serving for the month, and that was a big thing. The meals are amazing. My mom has said that they’ve got really good cooks that work there. She really likes that. It’s a very small facility, not a lot of people there. They have arts and crafts, and they sometimes play games. They also give them board games if they want to play with that. My mom likes to sit on the back porch. They have a screened back porch people can sit on. In the back half of the property there are some goats and chickens, and she likes to sit out there and watch the animals. They’ve been really great to work with. Everybody is very happy where Mom is -- Mom is happy. "

"I was impressed by the cleanliness and the openness of Five Oaks Rest Home. My room is adequate, and the food is wonderful. We have bingo once a month, and group singers that come in and dance. The staff members are wonderful. I also have my little dog with me here. "

"The tour with Crescent Lake House went very well. I can't remember everybody's name, but I met the doctor's brother and probably the director, but they were wonderful and showed me around and explained the different rooms. It was nice and clean and the rooms were nice. The private room they showed me was a fairly good-sized room. They said I could bring some of my father's furniture if I wanted to, and the grounds were pretty. You could sit outside and it was pretty nice. They had a nice game room and some of them were sitting down to play bingo, I think. It's an older place, but it's clean and well kept. Some of the rooms had their own restrooms, some had shared restrooms."

"My mother was in this home for two years. It was the absolutely like her being at home... Brenda and the staff are the best thing on this earth.. She absolutely has 24-7 care and I was always kept up to date on anything and everything that has gone on in her day. I owe this facility the biggest hugs in the world for the most heartfelt pleasure that my mother could have felt for their respectful and loving care that she received... thank you all for moms beautiful life..... "

"I've chosen Park of the Palms. There is warmth about the entire place. It does not look like a retirement place, and it does not look like an assisted living. In fact, I stayed three nights. They paid for one, and the other two I paid for. The residents made me feel welcome. I went into dinner, and I was a bit late on Saturday night. When I got there, all the tables were taken, so I sat by myself at the table, which was fine. Across from me, there were four ladies sitting on one table and one looked at me and smiled, and that was nice. She smiled at me; she wanted me to feel welcome, and it was great. Also, they have all the amenities, plus it goes from assisted living all the way to hospice care. Then there is a church there, and they have services on Sunday. I attended the Sunday church service, and even then, I felt welcomed. The room I stayed in was like a huge luxury hotel room. The unit that I toured was a two-bedroom-two-bath -- it was a duplex -- but it shared laundry with one other unit. Then, I saw a two-bedroom-two-bath with a washer and dryer in the unit, and that was the one in the quadruplexes. The place was immaculate, and I was very impressed. The dining room overlooked Brooklyn Lake. It was just beautiful. There were lots of trees. The whole place is beautiful. There was a library and a swimming pool. You can go on tours wherever you want to go. Plus medical, there are doctors and nearby hospitals. They can come in, or you can call if there is an emergency. "

"Penney Retirement Community was excellent. The staff took me on a tour of the whole place. They have different kinds of one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, three-bedrooms, and four-bedrooms. They have little cottages, they have a hospital environment, and they have 24-hour nurses. It's a wonderful place, and they were just finishing up the last building that they were building. The only thing they had available was a one-bedroom with a living room and a kitchen, and I just need more space than that. They have woodworking shops, they have glass-making, like the glass you can see in churches, and they have a flower shop. They have their own post office and their own grocery store. They have just pretty much anything anybody would want, and it's in a neighborhood-oriented program. Now they have two different places that are kind of like hotels. They serve meals in the dining room and everything. People can go down and go have their meal in the dining room if they don't want to eat in the room. It's very nice. They have exercise and all different kinds of things that they offer. The staff members were really nice, but I only saw two women in the office."

"My mom is at Coral Landing. The place feels very homey. The staff is very positive and friendly and even tempered. They really care about their clientele. They have town meetings where everyone gets to voice their opinions. I haven’t eaten there, but my mother appreciates the food. It’s a very economical place to live. "

"We love the Riverside Cottages. We feel like it's very homey, and they have lots of staff. Mom was not finding anything she liked, so they drove to Chick-Fil-A and brought her Chick-Fil-A to see if she would eat it. So, they're trying very hard to make her comfortable. She, on the other hand, is not comfortable, but we like it a lot."

"Glenmoor has independent living and assisted living. We visited this community because of its location and its beauty. It was the most beautiful one of all the other places. However, it was way too hard to qualify to get in there financially. You have to have a huge assets and you have to put down a gigantic amount of money. It's like a lifecare type of facility. The staff was wonderful. They showed us their cottages, houses and apartments. The houses and cottages were really nice. I only saw one apartment but it was just okay. They have a beautiful dining room. Their activities were wonderful. That stood out too for me! Their social activities seem like something that would be really great for someone looking to live at one of these places. I also like that this community was kind of an upper class place. That was the most appealing for me! It was the nicest of all the places. If they could lower their qualification requirements, that would be better. "

" This facility has to be one of the most well-rounded facility I have been to. My mother and I went here before choosing a home for my grandmother. The thing we really liked was the individuality the facility brings to each resident. Whether it be an apartment or small home to fit your style or niche, your needs will be met. The staff was very upbeat and even consisted of professional chefs. You can do plenty here as it isn't too far away from Downtown St. Augustine and the beach. This place has it all , not to mention the affordability. Everything from when my mother and I visited was well kept , up to date and very friendly. "
