Assisted Living Communities in Thonotosassa, FL

"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."

"I am pleased that my mil is no longer there. However, it is to the credit of the staff there that her meds,were regulated and,she improved so much, she was able to go to a more independent facility. Thats,a good thing. The staff is very busy there, the,needs of the patients there are incredible. All the staff was kind and caring. The director, Sangeeta went above and beyond when my mil did not want to eat. She was,willing to go get her fast food if she wanted! It's not in the best locale but they were all very sweet people, as far as staff. "

"I moved into SeaCoast at Uptown Oaks. It's like an apartment. I have my own bathroom, that when I need to go, I don't have to wait in line. I have my own little kitchenette, that if I want to make coffee at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning, I can do it. If in the middle of night I'm hungry, I can open up a can of soup, a can of spaghetti, warm it up in a microwave. The room is very large. It's like a studio apartment. They said they have three meals a day. The staff is really nice, hospitable, and helpful. Every time they see you it's always a good morning. They're very cheery. They don't have an attitude. The place is immaculate, and if you need something fixed, you have housekeeping, you have the maintenance man. You just go downstairs to the receptionist, you put in a work order, and they come and fix whatever problems you've got."

"I love The Canopy at Walden Woods. It was beautiful, bigger, and brighter. You are welcomed when you get there. The staff was excellent. They were very informative, and they showed me several different rooms. They have different dining aspects. They have transportation services to different places. They seem to have more amenities. They play cards. They introduced me to a couple of people who do cards. The residents seemed to really like the place. The place was clean. They have a beauty and barber shop, an enclosed lanai, and a garden. Everything seemed in order."

"We toured Colonial Assisted Living at Tampa. It was very clean and pretty, but the rooms were a little bit small for two people. I have a sewing machine that I want to use, so I need a bigger room, and I have a double bed that I want to take. I like that they had a piano, their facilities are very good and the family room was nice."

"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."

"My grandmother was here for 5 years and my dad is currently here. The facility is clean. The staff is very friendly and the office staff is very knowledgeable. They keep in close contact with the family about their residents. "

"Chapman Manor was good, but it was different in the way it was set up for memory care. They're locked in because memory care people tend to roam or leave, but the way it was set up was so obvious to my mother. They had a separate section, and it was behind closed doors and she did not like that. It wasn't bad. The studios were very nice and very clean. It was upstairs. They had assisted living upstairs also, but it was separate. It was a white door that had a keypad to get in and out, and there were no windows. You could not look into that section. The way the building curved, it was hard to tell anything except that you're going through this door that has a keypad on it. Mom wouldn't be able to get in and out by herself. She would always have to be with somebody, of course, but it was just so obvious to her. They had many things going on. Mom was assured that she would be able to participate in anything that assisted living was doing. Memory care had its things, they were doing, but also assisted living had its things, and the assisted living section was upstairs and downstairs. She thought she was going to be locked in and couldn't come out. That wasn't Chapman Manor's fault. They assured her over and over again that she would be able to participate in anything, but it's just how it looked to her, and once she saw it that way, that was it. You couldn't change her mind. While it was maintained well, it did kind of seem like an old building."

"We toured Keystone Place at Terra Bella. I like that very much. I thought that esthetically, it looked good, it was clean, and the staff we spoke to was very friendly. The residents appear to be happy, the ones we saw walking around. If it was me, I would have gotten into that place. It was very nice. They were very helpful and very friendly. They did a great job giving us a tour and telling us about the services they provide and the activities that are available for the residents. It was great. It was a good atmosphere."

"I toured Sodalis Tampa for my friend. They were very good and very nice. The facilities seem very well run and they have rehab people there. They had doctors if they needed them. That place had like 120 residents. It looked more like a professional type of place. You brought in your bed and your dresser or whatever. They had a cheaper way of doing it because it was like two people in one facility where there are two separate bedrooms and then they have like a small area with a refrigerator and a small living area, I guess you'd call it a den. They had a courtyard, a library, and a rehab area. The staff was very good and very informative. They helped me a lot. The facility looked good. Everything looked good."

"Residents Die fast in this place., & get bedsores, no changes every 2 hours ."

"I toured The Crossings at Riverview. We spent more time in their assisted living. What stood out was the brightness of the place. It's a very bright home. And the staff was friendly. It looked clean and very welcoming. The rooms were spacious and homey. They were very friendly and welcoming. The staff who gave the tour was professional and friendly, too. We played bingo with the residents, and they seemed fine and happy. We like it. And it's close to our house, so we like that, too."

"I chose The Colonnade at Northdale because they are the best fit for my friend. It's very welcoming. These people are wonderful. The ratio is better. Better food. They got my friend up. He is walking and talking normally. He's not perfect yet, but the change in two weeks has been spectacular. I can't say enough about this place. It's wonderful. My friend has a very nice room. He can have his own furniture. But they also provided a package that we could use. He has his own bathroom and his shower. The dining room is nice, so he gets some socialization. They have been very responsive to any of our concerns. I've been there when he has been eating and the food is good. Nobody is ever completely as happy as they were at home, but overall, he is doing much better. The nursing director that's over that section is very responsive. She was very concerned when my friend first came in. She is good with the families and with the patients. We have had several people come in from outside that were very pleased, too. I think it's pretty good value for the money."
