Assisted Living Communities in Palatka, FL

"My mom moved into Sancerre at Palm Coast. They've got some newer staff, and there are a lot of them. They're super helpful. It was a bit goofy when they were doing paperwork, which kind of put me at ease, because I thought I would look like I didn't know what I was doing, but we all kind of had that going on. We got it, it was just a lot of people involved, so fun chaos. We were all learning together, but everybody was very helpful and polite. They all seemed to know each other. They certainly seemed to know all the residents there, so it was nice, because I saw separation in other places. Her apartment is nice. They installed the TV for her. There was a mount there, so they got that set up for her, so that was sweet. Everything was freshly painted. I think they do that each time, which is part of the fee you give when you move in to just redo the whole thing. We ate there twice yesterday for lunch before we left her there. It's tasty, they portioned it out right, and they had lots of choices. The list of activities is available on the counter, so I took one several weeks back. Also, they put them up in the elevator daily, so when you ride down to the elevator to go for a meal, you can look at it."

"We visited Kiva of Palatka for my mother-in-law. We liked it. Everybody there was nice and friendly. It was a clean spot. You could tell that it was a really good place, and people were like, "Could we help you with anything? Do you need assistance?" They were polite people. You could tell it was a place where someone would be safe there. It was a medium-sized place, and there were flowers all over and bright green grass. It was pretty, and they have an exercise type of room place. The staff seemed like a legit staff, e.g., they were serving the food like they were supposed to be, they were doing the clean-ups like they were supposed to be when we were there, and everyone seemed to get along there. I would recommend it to anybody. "

"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."

"Wonderful place. Clean. Friendly staff."

"My father, Dalton, was a resident here and they went above and beyond to fill his wishes! They give the utmost care and concern for their clients and unlike most places are more geared at filling their day to day wishes and likes! I was an in-home healthcare provider for 30 years and if I could pick a place for my final residency...It would be here, surrounded by LOVE and Caring and where the wildlife roam! "

"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. "

"My husband stayed at Penney Retirement Community and it was excellent. I would highly recommend it. He went in there at night from the hospital because he was discharged late. I got there the next morning and the staff came into the room to personally meet me. They were just kind and considerate as could be and granted our every wish. He got three good meals a day that he really enjoyed, and he got bathed as scheduled. It was really a good place. Plus, they had a good physical therapy department. The pavilion is the building that he was in. There's nursing home, assisted living, care center, memory care, and physical therapy there. He was in physical therapy. It was very good care. There was a lady in his room cleaning every day. He had a big bathroom. It was really, really nice. The staff were popping in quite frequently to see how he was and giving him his medicine or helping him to the bathroom. At that point, he wasn't able to walk because he couldn't even stand. They really helped him in every way he needed. I wasn't there every day, but the food I saw was very good looking. If it wasn't good my husband would say so, but he enjoyed every meal. Medicare and TRICARE took care of it. If you had to pay for it on your own, it's $400 a day. They had transportation for him. The staff listens to you. The place is very clean, and the pavilion is relatively new and very modern. It's a community all by itself. They even have their own post office there."

"The facility is very cozy, the staff was very friendly, The head nurse Dawn was very friendly, and very informative about what Coral Landing had to offer for residents. "

"My friends will be moving into Riverside Cottages at the Shores. We chose them because they'll never have to find another home to go to. They're leaving the facility they are in because there's no medical care, and old people have medical needs. This place, it's no matter what you go in as. They've got memory care if you need memory care. They will provide because it's not a corporation. They built this out in a neighborhood, and they just offer so much more than anybody else. The laundry gets done at night, and it's returned and hung up in their closets the next morning. Everything's covered, they won't have to have toilet paper, toiletries, sheets, blankets, or towels. They provide everything, even incontinent products, and that's all included in the price. There's breakfast when they wake up in the morning, you don't have to be there between eight and nine or whatever time. When you get up, you go and they'll make breakfast for you, whatever you want. They're just so unbelievable. They've got three different size units, and everything's self-contained. They try to encourage you not to stay in your room, but to come out. My friends are a husband and a wife, and they're going to be in two separate rooms. They encourage you to come out and have community with other people, and they make it very convenient to do that, that'll give them some more interaction with people. The rooms are decent-sized, and they can stay in their room. They've got two beautiful porches and a little reading room. It's more like a home, with no big fluorescent lights in the ceiling, nothing that looks commercial."

"I found Westminster and want to move there next year. It’s close to my daughter, and they have financial clout to do what I want to do. I want a two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen. They have access to a gun club, and the dining area is fine. You get credits that you can use for either breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The dining facility was good, and had a bar, so they had everything I want. I’m going there next week for a barbeque, and to get a better feel of the people there. They have a full nursing staff, a doctor onsite, access to a golf course, a workout facility, and access to another facility three blocks away which has a full complement of workout equipment I need."

"My grandmother was in this facility, and I have to say that everything was consistent. I came at different times of day, and nothing was out of ordinary, even when new staff was hired, they all were on the Same page. I felt true peace when I would leave from visiting my grandmother every time. Ms. Barbara is very personable, and I would use this facility again and recommend it hands down. "
