Strive at Fern Park

I wish I had placed my Aunt here earlier, but just happy she is here now! From the front desk, to the admissions dept to the nurse in charge of memory care and all of the nursing assistants, I have never witnessed an environment in a memory care unit that shows such respect, compassion and competence. They are outstanding! I would highly recommend this place if looking for a clean, safe and well organized facility for your loved one.

This facility may look great at first glance, but they are under staffed! My mom would get frequent UTI's and I would ask for her to be tested and it wouldn't get done. Several times we had to take her to urgent care just to get her tested and on medication. The Doctors group that goes to this facility is not very attentive either. The staff cuts corners just to get by. We saw a some things going on that were safety issues. The Director of Nursing seems nice, but again, being understaffed he would never return calls and things would just not get addressed. The final straw was they were pushing to get my mom into memory care. We knew that side of the building was understaffed as well, but they kept pushing us to move her. They actually told us they had her room rented when we had paid our bill for the month. We moved her, but not into their memory care! Best advise, don't look for the pretty building with all the bells and whistles; look for a full staff who cares for the residents well being!

My relative was a resident at Strive at Fern Park. It was new and it was very clean. The chef there was like a gourmet chef, he was very good. The nurses were very good. It was spacious enough for her needs, and it was kept clean. You see people meeting in groups, doing crafts, and having things to do with music, it's very nice. It's convenient in the Orlando area.

We chose Strive at Fern Park for my mother because they allow pets in the memory care center. She moved in there a couple of weeks ago. It's brand new, good quality, nice, and clean. The rooms are big, and there's a fire department right across the street. I don't like the fact that she's fallen twice in the last week. They don't seem to have a housekeeping staff, and they're not cleaning the room as often as they should. The food looks really good. They have they have a beauty salon on site. They have a lot of activity rooms, nice dining areas, and a rehab center, so if they need therapy they're on site.

Strive at Fern Park looked brand new and it was very welcoming. The only concerns we had were how far she might have to walk or something. The facility was lovely, and you can eat whenever you want. They have an activities room, an activities director, and a beauty shop on campus that's contracted out. We were able to see a one-bedroom, an alcove, and a studio apartment.

I thought Strive at Fern Park was the best place we visited. It was very clean, the tour was very thorough. The staff was good as well as the accommodations. Overall, I thought it was an excellent facility. The staff was all knowledgeable and friendly. Just watching them do what they do, I thought they're good. It was so clean, it smelled nice there, and there was no clutter.
