Assisted Living Communities in Ruskin, FL

"My father moved into Azalea Manor. We chose it because they had a private room with a shared common area. It's very clean. The staff ratio is very good. Everybody was very nice. My father says the food is good. He is pretty much to his own, but he does go to whatever food activities or outings they have. He's happy with it. The value for the money is good. He's on Medicaid."

"Having been through this process with other relatives, I was not looking forward to it again. However, Angels did an incredible job helping me. Dayna from the beginning and Angela throughout. They were amazing. There are clearly no words to describe how amazing Jennifer. She listened to me on my bad days after my father took his life, she laughed with me on my good days, and the main think was that she took care of the "little things" that my mother needed when others were too busy. She is truly an angel and I will NEVER forget her. "

"I was very impressed with The Meridian at Brandon. I thought that the place was great. I had a nice tour. I was very impressed with the facility, and I was very impressed with the way that facility was kept, and with the people who gave me the tour and told me all about it. It's bright, airy, and clean. They take good care of the building. I like the design of it, too. There are a lot of very big open, airy spaces. There's a lot of little nooks and crannies where people can sit. They have cool things like fireplaces and a place where you can walk your dog. They have good security, too. It's independent living, assisted living, and then they have a memory care unit. And I was very impressed with the way that they did that, because a lot of people go in knowing they're going to graduate from independent living to assisted living, and then actually wind up needing full 24-hour supervision. I only met three staff, and they were all delightful. The food looked fresh and well prepared. Their menu has a lot of variety and the people who live there have choices. If they don't want the main thing on the menu, they can get choices. They can also get service if they miss a meal like they come down and it's too late for breakfast like they overslept or whatever, or if they want a late lunch. The dining room accommodates people, which I thought was good."

"Hawthorne Inn of Brandon was very nice. It was easily accessible. They offer transportation, and they bring the provider to the residents. You don't have to worry about picking up your loved one. The doctor comes there. They've got programs, activities, and field trips. The two staff members I met were fine, but I didn't meet a lot of staff as I did at the other place."

"My mom has been placed at Aldea Green. It's very nice. They do a good job keeping the grounds nice. When you first walk in, there's an area where residents can gather to talk or read the paper or whatever they want to do, and there's always people there. In other places I've gone into you don't see residents around as much, but you always see residents when you go to Aldea Green, and they all seem to be very happy. The staff is great. They take very good care of my mom. They're very attentive. They're always very pleasant. They go in and check on her very frequently. If she is not out doing one of the activities, they'll go in and check on her to see if she's okay. And if she doesn't show up for a meal, they go in to find out why she's not there and if she wants to go down. They're very attentive. My mom goes to bingo, they do crafts, and they have entertainment come in twice a week. They'll take them to stores. The dining room is very nice. It's like walking into a restaurant. My mom seems to like the food. I've only had one meal there and it was good. And they make it part of their job to know every single resident by name. Every one of the staff knows my mom by name. "

"I moved here. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The people that I've met have been very helpful and very welcoming. I have a 1-room to myself and I share a bathroom and a kitchen with someone else, but right now that person has moved out, so I'm here by myself. I have a larger room, which makes me able to bring the few pieces of furniture that I have, and it's very comfortable. They provide all of our meals. I was just at a community meeting and the people that have been here for several years were talking about needing better food, but I said that it's so much better food than where I came from. I really enjoy the meals. If we don't want to cook, we have our own kitchen, so we can prepare our own meals. The dining room staff were the ones that I've interacted with mostly, and they've always been very helpful. Once a week, they come in and clean our rooms. It's been kinda crazy with the holidays, but they've done a good job. I have met the woman that sets us up with the activities and she said that we'll be doing more because the last few months, they haven't done too many. I knew they had a Christmas party and a New Year's party."

"We like the grounds, the size, and the layout of the condos at Addington Place at College Harbor. The thing we liked least was the long waiting list. Other than that, the staff was very nice, very pleasant, and very informative. They have a good activities list. We also liked its location and cost. There was a good, varied menu, and you had good choices. It wasn't just one or two things. There were a number of items available."

"I went to tour here. It was nice, but not someplace that we would put my mom because it was sort of dingy. It wasn't dirty, it's just not bright and cheery, and the residents that were there were not people that she would connect with. It felt like there were a lot of men, and I just didn't get a good feeling of the place. But it wasn't that it wasn't clean or that they weren't pleasant, because they were. They just got bought out and they just put a new roof in and they're doing some painting and they're going to remodel the rooms and they're putting new flooring in. So they're going in the right direction. It just wasn't a big enough community. The person who gave the tour was very informative, she was very pleasant, she was just good and I liked her. They don't have enough activities from what I gathered from the staff. It sounded like they do a lot of things, but not really anything my mom would be interested in, so it wouldn't work for her. They just bring entertainment in and they do activities with them."

"I was very impressed with Magnolia Gardens Assisted Living. It really kind of checked off all the boxes that we were looking for. I really don't have anything negative to say about it. What I really liked was their apartments were more spacious than some of the others that I had visited. Also, it was within my mom's price range. Their dining area was lovely. The apartments were lovely. The facility looked very clean and very well run. I just got a really good vibe when I walked in. I really liked it there."

"We toured Savannah Court of Brandon. Everything was nice. It's a little bit older but it was in very good condition. The rooms were nice. They had a hair salon for women. They had physical therapists that came in there too. We didn't eat there. It's a nice facility, and the people were very nice."

"Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch is a beautiful place, and I would love to live there, but I cannot afford that rate. I looked at their assisted living, but they have everything. It seems spacious to me, and there's so much to do. They have a beautiful swimming pool, which I would like to use. They have walking paths, and they have bridges that go across their waterways and come back around to the complex. If you want to take a nice stroll, you can go through the woods. It's gorgeous. The people there are fantastic. They're very friendly. The people who are living there now are very friendly, too. I got to talk to a few of them. The staff members were wonderful. The building was excellent. I met one of the maintenance men, who was cleaning while we were there, and he was very thorough. I was impressed with him. The rooms were amazing. I was impressed with them. I looked at a two-bedroom and a one-bedroom. For myself, I would want a one-bedroom. They're spacious and very nice. There's a refrigerator and a little kitchenette in there. The bathroom is very accommodating. It has a nice big walk-in shower."

"A beautiful, well-cared for building that feels like home. The staff are friendly, responsive, and compassionate. Chef June serves the most delicious meals. I highly recommend Toby Weinman Residence!"

"We looked at other places and Elan Manatee Assisted Living & Memory Care was the nicest. It has the highest Google ratings. It was the cleanest. Walking through, the staff seemed to be attentive to the residents. We had a good feeling about it. The only downside is it doesn't accept Medicaid, so it's the most expensive. We looked at both assisted living and memory care. It was the best we've seen. The rooms were bigger square foot wise than many of the other places we've seen, like 340 square feet compared to 220 or 250 in the other facilities we visited for a studio. The dining area looked appealing. We didn't try the food."
