Assisted Living Communities in Saint Augustine, FL

"I visited Diamond Assisted Living. The rooms were very large, the ambience was very nice, clean, and didn't smell. I liked it. The lady residents were clean, well-dressed, and their hair was combed. Care was given to them as should be. The dining area was very nice. They had a recreation room, a piano, and a church that came once a week. I didn't have complaints. I was impressed and would consider placing my husband there."

"It is very beautiful, brand new, and pretty well designed. My mom and dad live there. The staff is very professional with many years of experience in assisted living and senior care. The supervisor is wonderful and has been in the business for many years. The rooms are beautiful. The dining area and the food are top notch. They have lots of activities like Wii bowling, bingo, watching the morning news, poker, and different things like that."

"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."

"My father moved in and it's close to me. The rooms are good, it's large, they do his housekeeping, and his laundry, but that's all. The food is delivered to the room because of the virus. He goes to exercise one hour a day every day, he goes to do the social hour, and he goes to the happy hour. They have a person who cuts their hair, so he had a haircut, and they also have a person that comes and cuts their toenails and fingernails; they did his."

"My mother was very well loved and very well taken care of in Brookdale Mandarin. The food was better; the facility was clean. She had her own little apartment. The only downside with that facility is that they had two scheduled times for their dinner and lunch. There were two elevators there and three floors with different wings. One elevator was the service elevator and the other elevator was for people to come and go. My mom was on the second dinner hour, and sometimes, you had to wait two or three times before you finally got down or up the crowded elevator.. "

"I moved to Wyndham Lakes several months ago. What I like the most about the place are the residents. I know 3 of them and we all play cards every afternoon. There are things like bingo, they've got a beauty parlor or salon. The dining room is large. The place is large with a lot of buildings, and most of the rooms have patios. They keep it pretty well clean and the staff is friendly. They serve us a lot of chicken but they hardly serve any legs."

"Seagrass Village of Fleming Island was beautiful. The people were very friendly. It was everything I wanted. It was just a little further out from where I live. Other than that, it was great. The rooms were nice, spacious, and very clean. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and knowledgeable. Anything I needed to know and anything that she could do to make the transition easy for my parents, she was willing to help. Some people were playing cards, some people were sitting out reading, and I saw some people in the dining room. The dining area was very nice. I didn't get a chance to taste or sample the food, but it looked very nice."

"My grandfather is in Brookdale Southside. It's spacious and they have a lot of activities for the seniors. I like the layout and the good room size. They have exercises, games, trivia, and bingo. They offer two meals a day with his program and he has to either pay for the third meal or just make it in his room. They have a swimming pool, a gym, a library, a computer room, there's paths outside to walk around, and little outdoor activities around the lake. The staff is very nice and helpful. They just have issues with their cellphone connections, which is my biggest deal with them. It's a clean facility."

"It has a wonderful atmosphere, a lot of activities, very caring staff, and my mom got excellent care there. She was there on respite care in their assisted living for about 45 days. The facility is beautiful and in a convenient location. The staff was excellent, everybody's very helpful, and we had no problems with them. The food was also good. They had music every week and they had a lot of games that they played. My mom didn't participate, but they had them available."

"Grand Living At Tamaya was extremely nice. The only thing I didn't like about it is that prices were beyond my range. The room has a full kitchen with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, the whole nine yards, plus the washer and dryer. I did a house tour of the place. Everything was fine. It's a good-looking facility. It's relatively new. The people that I met and contacted are all very nice. They are a little bit pricier than the other places I looked at, but they offered a lot more. The person who toured me was excellent. They have several restaurants there."

"I went to Brookdale Southpoint. It's a little bit better than the other place I visited. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. They showed me around and answered all my questions. I explained to the manager that the range of the prices they provided for us is out of my limitation, and she gave me a list of other facilities to look at. It was well cared for. The room was clean. I liked it better than the other place, but I cannot afford it. It was bigger, and the shower and the closets were better."

"I toured Brookdale Orange Park. From the care perspective, everything is good. From a facilities perspective, I feel like it could use some updating. Everyone was pleasant. Nobody seemed like they were miserable, which is always a good thing. They were also helpful."

"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. "

" Upon entering I was immediately given a tour through the home. While this facility may be smaller, it provides a more one on one feel with the caregivers and residence. I was able to eat steak and mashed potatoes, which is one of the many home cooked meals they provide. Fully serviced like other facilities, however they include internet, private or double rooms, television, laundry and much more. The Grafton house is literally your own home within a home. One thing that really stuck out was how close it is to downtown St. Augustine. Being that it is so close you can enjoy transportation services to downtown, the bay and even the beach. If you are more of the independent person, I would strongly recommend The Grafton House. Not only can you keep your independence, you won't feel rushed, and will have the ability to make everlasting friendships with the friendly staff and residence; The Grafton House is family operated as well.
