Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Orlando, FL

"I'm going to apply for residency at the Westminster Towers Orlando. I chose that community because the activities that they had on their schedule were the most varied and interesting that I've seen. The apartments were beautiful and everyone that we met raved about how they loved being there and many of them had been there eight to ten years. The rooms had beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows in the main bedroom and the living room that were beautiful picture windows. They were nicely appointed. The halls and everything were nicely maintained. The physical building was very attractive. The staff was awesome. The person who did sales greeted every single person in that building that we passed by. They have a main dining room and then they have sort of a lunchroom for a quick meal, sandwiches and what have you. The food wasn't exceptional, but it was fine. The place looked excellent. They had fresh flowers. Everything looked very clean."

"We visited Orlando Lutheran Towers and had lunch. I have friends there, and it's very close to my church. The people there seem to want to help you get what you want, like an apartment that's right for you. I've selected a one-bedroom, but I haven't decided yet whether I should get their one-bedroom deluxe and a one-bedroom with a den. They said they'll tear down the walls to make it like you want it. The food we had was very good. I like this community. The rooms are not dark. They're very light with big windows. All the common areas also have a lot of light. The staff member seem to be accommodating, nice, friendly, and helpful."

"Winter Park was a very nice place. The people seemed very content there. The apartment they showed me was lovely as were the dining rooms and the activity rooms. I was very impressed. The staff were very gracious, and they were very willing to give us the time to explain things to us. "

"I had the chance to visit Village on the Green, and it's a nice place, but expensive. The staff were great. They gave me everything I needed to know and they were helpful. They have a pool and workout equipment. They have buses that go out to churches and shopping centers. They will take you everywhere every day. It's really a good place for people who need that. "

"Good Samaritan Society was great. I really liked it, and it would be nice for my father. They had great staff and great activities. The facility was very clean. It's a great environment. It's a mixed community so you have independent living, assisted living and full care. It's perfect and in great proximity to other family members. The location was nice."

"My friend Blanche was a resident several years, before having to move into the Memory Care Unit. In the Assisted Living, she had her own furnishings so she felt at home, She was surrounded by caring Nurses and care takers. I was there three and four days a week, visitingk, taking her to appointments, shopping, out to lunch and wherever she needed to go. I paid her bills, purchased all her clothes at her wishes, was the daughter she never had, her brother and neices live in another State. I was her friend, advisor and I listened to her vent when upset with her family.I attended care-givers meetings regularily to learn how to assist my friend. Being there to listen, make her feel wanted was my mission to her. She died peacefully, on a Sunday Morning before Memorial Day 2011. I miss her dearly. John Knox was a peaceful facility aimed at the residents best interest and care. I reccommend this Facility. "
