Mayflower Assisted Living

I would not recommend Mayflower Assisted Living. The facility was not as secure for the residents. The buildings are right next to a rural highway, so there's still a large amount of traffic that goes through that is nearby. It seems that if any of the residents had a propensity for wandering that would be dangerous because the fence that surrounded the property wasn't particularly high or secure. The staff were polite and very nice, but their food offerings, activity offerings, and the stability of the place did not seem very good. The menus that they showed us did not seem to adhere to healthy eating plans. The layout had residents walking between buildings, and the general outside of the buildings was not well maintained. We didn't tour the rooms themselves because everything looked like it wasn't going to be what we needed. The staff who assisted us were very polite and nice, but they didn't seem as educated in the ins and outs of assisted living and memory care. The other locations seemed to have continuing education plans for the staff like everyone is taking classes on the latest techniques and working with people and all of that stuff, but the Mayflower Assisted Living facility very much did not have that.

If I was looking for a residential facility, Mayflower Assisted Living would be one I would consider. The cost is more affordable. I didn't see that many amenities. They have a little game room where they have games, board games or what have you. There weren't any other amenities that I saw as far as having a gym or anything like that. I know they were making some improvements to the rooms. It's a pretty simple facility. I saw a couple of different bedrooms that were available. One of them was a double. It was pretty small, and there was very little storage space or personal space for each person. One was a bit larger, but it was actually occupied at the time. It was a good size. The nearest hospital would be about 20 to 25 miles away. There aren't a lot of restaurants in High Springs. There are a few fastfood places, but not a sit-down restaurant. It would probably be about 10 miles to a sit-down kind of facility. The place looked pretty clean from what I saw. It looked like they kept it pretty clean around there. The little recreation room that I was waiting in was also kind of the cafeteria where they had their meals, and it was clean.
