"I toured Better Days Senior Living. The outside was very inviting, and things were very clean and neat. It looked like someone's home when I walked there. The air was refreshing, and the residents talked to us as they came out. They were talking and very inviting. The staff came out, as they were going about their business. They introduced themselves and they welcomed us, and so everything was very nice. The staff was friendly."

"Seagrass Village of Fleming Island is a very nice place. I chose that one because in the little area my father can go in and out by himself when he is able. The other place that I looked at, they had to take him out to the little area. I know he likes to be outside a lot, and it was a nice place to sit outside. They all seem very helpful there. The apartments are clean, neat, and not too big. He has his own bathroom and a nice closet area. They allowed us to bring him a mini fridge, as long as we were the ones responsible for it and taking care of it. It doesn't have a living room and all that. It's just basically a bedroom with a bathroom in it. They seem to have a lot of activities. It's nice and clean and decorated. He's in the hospital for three weeks out of the month, but still he has to pay the full amount, and I know part of what he pays is for assisted living."

"My mom just called me n thanked me for putting her at frank wells .shr was in a different place n she would cry all the time .it broke my heart .now that she is at frank wells she is so happy .she laughs n she enjoys the groups n nurses .she said i dont have to worry abput her anymore she is well taken care of .i thank God ! "

"My husband is staying at the Macclenny Nursing and Rehab Center. He was able to be in a private room by the nurse's station. So, they've been very cooperative with us. The physical therapy was good, although he's finished with that now. So, he's transitioning now into long-term. The staff is not trained to deal with dementia and Alzheimer's. I'm having to teach them how to deal with him. But then they've been very willing to listen to my suggestions. They have some crafts. They have karaoke. But we don't go to any of the activities because my husband can't deal with the crowd"

"My mother has been in Cecil Pines for five years now. It is very quiet, but there are no facilities, no eating, and no delivery. There is a kitchen, people cook, and some residents still even work. It is definitely independent, so it is not for anybody that needs any kind of help. She is in a three-bedroom house. It used to be military housing and now it is owned by Cecil Pines, so it is just a regular house. They have some activities, but my mom doesn't participate in any of them. They don't have any 24-hour staff at all, no weekends, and not after 5 o'clock. There is a lot they can add to their services, but when you go there, you know that you are independent. So for them, they are meeting what they said they would do. But then, when the person gets more to where he can't be independent, he just needs to move out of there. "

"My 85 year old mother was admitted for recovery and rehab due to total knee placement surgery. She was admitted on Aug 31st. The nursing staff was helpful and willing to answer any and all questions I had. If they didn't know the answer someone got back to me. The nursing staff we had direct contact with were, Deborah, Ranita, Alice, Tiffany and they were just awesome. The rehab staff were just as great. Yasir, Sebrina, Laneeka, & Tonya, the DOR were amazing. You could see the special care they gave my mom and others as well. My mom was there 31 days. I was there everyday and sometimes twice a day. The place is clean and staff is constantly picking up and cleaning up. The rooms are much like a hospital room. There a activities if the patient wants to join in. A small place but I have no complaints. My advice is to take a tour and check it out. I would use again if the need arose. "

"My mom has been placed at West Jacksonville Health. At that time when we were looking for a facility, they were primarily available. They were able to show us that they are very caring. The facility is close to our home and it really worked out for us. The place is very welcoming and always clean. It's very nice and I'm very satisfied with all the medical and other care that she is getting. The staff are very nice and they are good with what they do. Mom is in a room for two and it's pretty good for her. She is happy with the food. The dining area is big and it opens out to a screened porch, it's very nice and appealing. With their activities, they have the normal stuff like bingo, entertainment, religious services; pretty varied. "

"We were so blessed to have found this facility for our Grandma after an extensive search! Fabulous Staff, beautifully maintained, an abundance of activities, food is way above average! All in all extremely satisfied & highly recommended.. "

"Signature HealthCARE of Middleburg is a good place. Every room here is a private room, so you don't share a room with anybody else. There is a hall set aside for bariatrics. Half of the facility is for people coming in from surgeries or injuries and are trying to get back on their feet, while the other half of the facility is a residence facility, for residents that are here permanently. They have therapy rooms here (but they can work with the residents in their room if they can't come down), excellent food (they accommodate the diets that are recommended for them by the doctor), and good nursing care (the CNAs are excellent and they're usually right here right away when you call them). They provide church services here, too. They do your laundry and return it. They have a lot of activities here. They have board games, regular games (such as bingo), music, and making jewelry or outfits that you want to make. They provide everything for you that you could want or need."

"My husband moved into Silver Treasures at Lane three weeks ago. I chose it because they just opened. It's a new community and they are keeping the price very low. I am paying from my own pocket and it was a more reasonable price for me plus this is a very new place and there are not a lot of people there yet. They built it and started to fill it with people. And it's very good service there. I tell the truth, I was surprised. It's a studio or one-bedroom, the price is the same. My husband's is like two small rooms and like one room and another room, and the price for all the parts is the same if you have one big room or two smaller rooms. You must bring all your furniture and everything there. They have a lot of staff because everyone from the manager and his family is from the Philippines. This is good for my husband."

"The rooms at Melissa Grove Apartments were too small, and I wouldn't be able to pay the rent. It was a little too much for me. I would also have to downsize a lot of things that I have if I have to move in there. I probably would have done it if I could afford it, but I couldn't afford to stay there. I believe they have amenities. The young lady that I talked to was very nice. It was the first place I went to visit, and everything seemed really nice. I like how you come in, and I like the security and all that kind of stuff, so I like the feeling of security."

"The Marcis Pointe has an absolutely gorgeous accommodation. It was built two years ago, so it's brand new and beautiful. My mom's apartment is very nice. "

"I liked Noble House Retirement a lot. The staff who showed me around was really sweet. I'm wanting to get my mom into their newer building. It was two stories, and it had a movie room, a library/office, a dining room, a workout room, and a little pond in the back. It was beautiful and decorated nicely. There's a lot of security doors because sometimes they wander. They had organized activities. The dining room looked nice and they had one on the lower and upper level. I was very pleased with it. The older building was okay and the rooms were a little bit bigger, but I really liked the newer building. It looked like an apartment complex. The two buildings were right side by side."

"The person who accommodated us was great. She was the reason that we really considered it. She was really helpful and really nice. The rooms were small, and they had no private rooms. They even had rooms with four people in them. My husband would start out in a room with two other people, but she said that when one comes available with only one other person, she would move him. They take them outdoors and fishing sometimes. They had a dining room, and the residents seemed happy enough. Signature was recommended to me, and once we get him there and if it was working for him, I would recommend it. "
