The Lynmoore at Lawnwood

I liked The Lynmoore at Lawnwood. The facility was nice. I'm a joiner and I like a lot of activities, so I'm kind of just going by the feel of the place and The Lynmoore at Lawnwood just struck me as just a lot of older people. Some people needed assistance to be fed. It just didn't feel like it was for me and they didn't have a pool. The food was good and the dining room was very bright with lots of windows. They were way too expensive. The tour person was very nice.

My brother transferred to assisted living more than a year after he suffered a massive stroke. He had been in and out of intensive care while bedridden in a different facility. After many months in that place he had recovered enough to eat and swallow soft food but he was still unable to walk. Then he came to Lynmoore, just before Christmas in 2023. My wife and I live in California, so we can't visit him in Florida that often, but we did visit for a few days in June, 2024. What a difference! We walked in one day just after his physical therapy session ended; he was walking back to his room with the therapist by his side, not in his wheelchair! That never happened before. This alone would rate five stars, but there is more. During our visit we interacted with many people: the nurses, the therapists, the community engagement director, the records office, the business office, even the dining hall staff. Everyone was friendly and professional. Residents coming and going were greeted by name. The buildings were clean and well maintained. The food was good; I ordered the same thing that my brother had when we ate together in the dining room.  The affiliated home healthcare and pharmacy services are excellent; I continue to interact with them. However, there is even more to the story. My brother was in such bad shape when he first came to Lynmoore that, during our June visit, a couple of staff members admitted to me that they didn't think he would last in assisted living; he was that bad off. I truly believe he was admitted and flourished because the Wellness Director believed in him, motivated him from the very beginning, and everyone took good care of him around the clock.

The Lynmoore at Lawnwood was a very nice community. It was very bright. The units were a decent size. The lady that did the tour was very informative and very friendly.

While we're on vacation my mother-in-law is going to get respite care at the Lynmoore at Lawnwood. Some of the other facilities were asking for a minimum of three weeks or one month for respite care, and all I needed was two, and the Lynmoore at Lawnwood were able to do that for me. They were nice and friendly. They were willing to show me around to all the rooms and everything. The apartment was very nice. It was furnished for the upcoming respite care. I think it will suit my mother-in-law for her needs, and they'll be doing her medication management. I didn't try their food, but they have set up samples of food in the hallways for the residents to look at to decide whether they want it or not, and it looked very appealing. For amenities, they provide the care, the three meals, and the activities. They've always got something to do there.

My client is now at The Lynmoore at Lawnwood. They had three memory care areas, and they had an open room smaller area so she wouldn't be overwhelmed. They probably weren't the cheapest, but they were in our area of price. Everyone I talked to seemed to be nice and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My client is in memory care and her room is very nice and we were able to take a few things and make it a little more familiar for her. It's just the right size for her. I've only had one meal with her, and it was good. She doesn't eat a lot of fancy stuff, but they have other choices that she can use. As for activities, she's not very alert as far as what you're trying to tell her, and she forgets five minutes later. But I've seen them with her coloring, and that's pretty much it. I tried to play cards with her because we used to play cards.

We chose The Lynmoore at Lawnwood for my sister-in-law. It was the best of the group, we thought. It was very nice. The people were very nice. They made some changes in their costs and all that so we could afford it, and I really appreciated that. My sister-in-law is in memory care. One of the things that I appreciated, which I didn't see in any of the other places we reviewed, was that she has her own bedroom. She has a roommate, but the roommate has her own bedroom also with a door. If they want to be alone, they can close that door, or if they want to talk to each other, they can open their door. I didn't see that feature in the others. And then they share a bathroom. The cleanliness is wonderful. I didn't see anything that I was concerned with. The staff were all very friendly and very nice to my sister-in-law. When we arrived there and we were being interviewed, all of a sudden somebody was singing and I asked the girl who was singing, and she said, 'that's one of our patients.' So we came out and there she was, singing on top of her lungs. I noticed everybody is walking by paying no attention. It didn't bother anybody and that really impressed me that she could just be herself and sing away. Whatever activities you can think of, they offer. In the middle of where their rooms are, it's all windows, so you could see out into the gardens and trees and flowers. They can go out there and there are chairs they could sit in, so they can get outside. Someone has to come with them from the memory care, but they can get outside and get fresh air, and that was very nice. The first day when my sister-in-law got there, we didn't see the food then, but the next time we came in, she was having our lunch and we sat with her while she had her lunch, and the food looked great. They gave us ice cream. It's a little pricey but they gave us a deal.
