My parents are here. The staff is very attentive. All of their departments are very complete. They have doctors, professional nurses, and attendants. The building and grounds are spectacular. It has a swimming pool, putting green, three restaurant types, a 250-seat theater, Symphony Orchestra that practices there Friday evenings occasionally, many different venues, libraries, game rooms, and a large gymnasium. They have a full-time chef for three meals a day. The rooms that we acquired were large, spacious, and included a full kitchen. It's an assisted living facility. They're escorted to meals by a wheelchair. I've had three encounters there with food and it was all very nice. They have numerous activities.

The place in Hernando was beautiful, but you're stuck there. Your whole life is in the building. I liked that they had three different restaurants you can choose from and at different times. The building itself was beautiful. The apartment was very nice, but you're in the middle of nowhere. The staff was wonderful. The food was very good.

It is a very good facility, and they are very good to work with. However, my father has severe dementia, and he is beyond their care. He needs a couple of people to help him and more nursing care than they can handle. My father has been there for two-and-a-half years now. Because I am three-and-a-half hours away, I asked the staff to please let me know every time something happens -- like if he falls or if he gets new medications -- and they always have, so they have been very helpful and accommodating. My father has a big studio apartment where you could put a bed, a recliner chair, a TV stand, a bathroom, and a closet. I have eaten there a few times, and the food is pretty good. In the memory care, they have two dining areas, a little café, and a full dining room where you have to sign up and get a little bit more dressed up for. They also have activities going on all day, from memory games to cards to sing-a-longs and to movies. They always keep him active. The memory care is very clean, the nurses are very attentive, and they are always on top of everything. They are very careful, especially with COVID, but it's understandable that they do what they have to do to keep their patients safe.

It was a beautiful place. It's almost five-stars. It's very, very nice. I was toured by a salesperson, and it was a great tour. We got to see an apartment and all the facilities. It was a one-bedroom apartment and pretty much brand new. It had a beautiful kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, a laundry area, and it was very spacious. They also had a theater, a bar, or social area where you can have drinks and have a community kind of hang out. There were two or three restaurants, an exercise room, a pool, and pretty much everything you'd want in an assisted living environment. I think it's really one of the nicest ones around, but it's a large community, and it would not work out for my dad, he would get lost. There were a lot of long hallways where you couldn't quite know where you were.

This is top of the line. It's just one year old so it's almost brand new and absolutely stunning. It has an extremely good quality of restaurants. It has three different ones for morning, noon, and night. The food is excellent. You can order what you want off the menus. It has all the available facilities for working out and they have a coach to help you do exercises. They have a theater that will seat 125 people. They have shows periodically almost once a month, and they have somebody come in there and do performances. They have a good extreme number of various shapes, sizes, and rooms that people would use, from 1,200 square feet down to 600 square feet, so there's excellent diversity of rooms and accommodations. They don't have restrictions on keeping you there for each year at a time. You can go on a monthly rental basis. They have healthcare for their people and an on-duty nurse. Their cost is about the same as everybody else's. The staff have all been very gracious and we don't even belong to them, yet they let us cme and see their shows and occasionally sit with our friends who are there for lunch and dinner. They're very open to outsiders coming in and seeing what their facility can and can't do. There are extra wide corridors and the reason for that is they have paintings on the walls, and you can walk three or four abreast. It gives it a more spacious feeling so you don't feel like you're enclosed as you walk through the corridors.

I liked everything here. It had everything that we wanted. The food was good, the room was good, and the price was right. They had movies and even Broadway shows.
