"i loved it there they got the best staff around "

"We chose Colonial Residential Care for my brother. He's doing great there, it seems like a great place. The staff sounds very helpful, very nice, and caring on the phone. They were willing to talk to me and give me information about my brother, so that was really helpful. They have activities, and my brother said the food is delicious. It's really affordable."

"My father is in St. Joe Manor, and he likes it very much. It is probably not as picturesque, but it is more convenient for him and considerably cheaper. "

"My wife stayed at The Baptist Home for respite, and she enjoyed it very much. They were very kind to her and they took really good care of her. The people made her feel at home. Most of them had worked there most of their career and for them, that's their calling in life, not their job. The food was excellent. It was all home cooking. She had nothing but good things to say about them. Her room was a very good size. They had single occupancy that were all very clean. Even though she was in the older part of the building, it was very well kept and clean. We didn't have to take her furniture there. She wanted an electric chair and they found one for her to use. It was very adequate. If you become a long-term resident, you can bring your furniture from your home. They had a sewing machine, which she used, a craft room, games like bingo, church services and a chapel, and people come in and sing. They had a lot of activities. It was very reasonable."

"Parkwood Meadows Senior Living was very nice. The staff was friendly. They have lots of activities that they do. They have an area where they had a piano, an area if they wanted to dance, an area to play cards, and other things to do. They also had a TV area with a large screen television and there was a kitchen that the residents can use if they wanted to cook a meal. They have two nice little outdoor areas for them to go out and sit in. It's got a hospital that is just down the street from it."

"My mother moved to the assisted living facility of StoneBridge The Villas in De Soto. Currently, we're dealing with an air conditioner issue. We're having a major heat wave, and they don;t have control over the temperatures in their own apartments. It's an older facility, and they're doing the best that they can, out of the circumstances, because everyone's air conditioners are struggling with this heat. The staff members were just really easy to work with. The social worker we were working with was working great and allowed things to go as easily as possible. They also have the nursing care people, they do the OT and PT, and they can even do the labs and some of the other stuff there. It's just been a great experience so far. My mom is 84 and extremely picky about food. Within the first week that she was there, I ate a couple of meals with her, because family members are allowed to eat with their relatives if they choose to, and they don't charge you for that. In my opinion, the food was good. They're home-cooked meals, the kind of meals that I would have had when I was growing up. My mom positively loves them, overall. She said they're really good, although sometimes, they overcook the breakfast just a bit. They have a library section with large prints, and they are changed every so often by the city library that we have in De Soto. They also have an activity room. They do activities, although not as many as some other places might have. They have an 8:30 exercise class for anyone who wants to do it, and they always have something at 11 o'clock. It could be games or some kind of a mental activity that keeps the brain active and working well. I would call that a memory enhancement activity. They have something in the afternoon, too. They do a lot of bingo, and there is a small area where they can watch DVDs and movies. They can even do a movie night if they want to. They have a puzzle section there, with all these huge puzzles that they can work on if they want to, any time during the day. They also have a lot of individual types of stuff. They have exercise and equipment in the rehab. They are keeping the place very clean. The maintenance people are amazing. They're there Monday through Friday. You don't see them as much on the weekends, but they will come in for emergencies. It's not a top-of-the-line fancy facility, but this one is inclusive with its price. Everything is included, even my mom's hair getting washed and styled by a beautician. They even do nails there, as well. You can't compare it to the big fancy places that have a theater built in with the seats and the screen. This facility is more of a home-type theater, like when your family sits down to watch a movie. It's going to be that kind of a theater experience. I've lived here since '95, and I've taught here since '84, and it's been here that long. It's gone through different name changes. It was built as a recreation place, way back, so it is not a brand new facility. Aside from the price, we chose this place because my mom liked it when she toured it. They also have a number of different apartment set ups. They're individual, so you do not have to share with someone else. You just pick the size that fits you and your budget. Having her own patio outside was also a big decision because not all of the rooms have that. Another thing is the location. It's right here where we live, so it's really close."

"We chose Crystal Oaks for my mom because it's close to where my dad lives. She has been in the nursing facility for two months now and it seems that my mom gets good care there. Sometimes the staff gets mixed up with some of the orders, but overall it has been pretty good. They have a really good rehab center. Mom has a basic room with a bed and a storage closet. She has a roommate. They do a lot of activities like kickball and bingo. They have people come in and play music. They also do sing along. They have an arts and crafts room. They do keep them busy all the time and that is great. The food is pretty good and they have a lot of selection. "

"My mother has been in Fountainbleau Nursing Center since October. The facility is very clean. It's a single floor unit that has four wings, with 10 rooms in each wing. It also has a memory care unit which is what we needed, and it is close to where I live. My mom was allowed to have her own furniture in her room . The staff is very attentive and would report to me about how she's doing as far as her participation and her acceptance, medical care, among other things. They have activities like trivia, bingo, card games, bowling, and Bible readings. "
