The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Levy County, FL

"My husband and I researched dozens and dozens of retirement communities before settling on Oak Hammock. We put our name on the list two years before they opened. It was the best decision we ever made. We joined a community that became a family. The residents are all friendly, intelligent, and active. We have a calendar of university classes, amenities that would astound people looking for an elder home. We offer bee keeping, gardening, wood shop, stained glass. We have an outstanding library, a bank, several beauty parlors and a barber shop. I remember thinking that I had arrived on a stationary cruise ship especially when I discovered cold soup on Thursday’s menu. The staff is absolutely the best part of the experience, and the residents become your friends almost immediately. There are many different sizes of apartments and homes with a price range that can accommodate of different income levels. When I hear we are too expensive, I ask that you make a list of your current expenses including your clubs, your taxes, and your upkeep- long range or short. Be sure you include health care because we have a wonderful health pavilion with doctors, nurses and aides just a few steps away. Don’t leave off our housekeeping, replacement of all appliances as needed, and no monthly bills for electricity, television, and real estate taxes. We get back our homestead allowance, too. And don’t forget “eating out”; we have a fabulous dining program with candlelight dinners in a lovely garden. We love to recruit nice people, so call and schedule an appointment with our dynamic marketing department. Betty K."

"I was initially impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of the staff when I visited the facility. But once I moved my Grandpa in, I wasn't happy with the care he received. More than once when I visited, I found him with soiled pants, and it seemed that he hadn't been checked on by the staff in hours (during one late afternoon visit, I found lunch dishes still on the tray next to his bed). I moved him to another facility and was glad I did. "
