The cost was too high at Dayspring Senior Living. The manager and the person who handles the billing were knowledgeable and nice. It's a sad atmosphere. There were a lot of people in the lobby and sitting out front. They're generations ahead of me, and I'm only 67. The people there looked like they were in their 80s. The atmosphere was very slow moving and not positive.
Provider Response
Thank you for your comments. The average pricing for Assisted Living in Northeast Florida according to the cost of care studies - https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html - if you were to look at Jacksonville region the 2018 cost was $4425/month for care. The statewide average is $3500 for ALF CARE. Our rates at $2650 for a private room, fully furnished with care and services and TV in the room is a great value. The facebook page will help you track some of our resident engagement programs, there is a great deal of engagement with health care providers, on site services such as home health, rehab services, primary care, behavioral health counseling and assessment and we are set to start implementing cardiology specialist on site and we have podiatry on site. The move towards larger open spaces is about getting residents into the common areas where they can socialize with others and whether it is on our front or back porches residents enjoy spending time with one another. We schedule regular outings, residents travel to off site programs during the day if they choose and we schedule excursions for the residents. The James Building has a memory care wing and we care for residents with dementia in this building. Our second building is under construction and it will feature a more active life style. This new building will not be focused on Dementia but rather cardiac care and stroke care.
