I like Embark at Lake Worth. It is close to me, it's not in such a bad neighborhood, and I like its setup. However, they wanted $2600 a month, which was not in our price range, and the units were smaller. They have a beauty parlor and workout rooms, but my mom is not going to participate in any of those.

The apartments at Embark at Lake Worth are really nice and large, and they have balconies. The services are good, and the food is good. The manager or coordinator over there is really great. The amenities are good. Everything is good, in general. The problem my dad has is that he doesn't speak English, and there are no Spanish-speaking residents there. He doesn't make use of all the services they offer. The facility is very comfortable and spacious. Compared to other places I have visited, I think it is a very good value for what they offer.

My father was recently living here. He passed away from pneumonia now they have covid cases on site. They called am ambulance they never called the emergency contact me his son ( me) and I didn't know he was at the hospital until after he was already passed. On top of that they're still charging me rent for his apartment. and they haven't answered in weeks about their internal "investigation" about why we were never called when they called the ambulance. I beg you not to let any of your loved ones go to this place. Not only that don't believe they have to ring the bell every morning because there would be plenty of mornings he wouldn't ring the bell and they would not check on him for hours. Please before you send anyone here check their Google reviews.

I went to Embark at Lake Worth. It was awesome, the people were really good, really nice, polite, and professional. The community seemed to be also very comfortable for my father, but the main drawback was in order to go anywhere you had to walk outside, like a catwalk, and I mean it's covered overhead, but I didn't like it, and he didn't like the fact that you had to walk outside to go anywhere. The rooms were really nice, they had nice amenities, and the people were really nice.

Embark at Lake Worth was financially in my budget. The facilities were very nice, and it seemed like what I was looking for. The staff was very obliging, very willing to help, very professional, and the people are helpful. I can't get over how nice they are. It's a hotel with food and there are activities to keep you busy if you want. I've had lunch there a few times, and it was good. I'm paying rent, but not yet living there. Embark is the only one that gives you a washer and dryer in the room.

My mom has been in Embark at Lake Worth. It is very good. The staff is very friendly. My mom's room is very nice. The dining area is very nice too. The food is served restaurant-style. Their food is very good. What my mom takes advantage of the most is the transportation to the doctor as well as the transportation to the grocery store. They have other activities. They have a happy hour and they have games and whatnot, but she doesn't really participate in those. The place has very good living quarters. The staff and the people are very friendly.

We went to Brookdale Lake Worth, and the apartments were big enough and very clean. The activities were excellent. I saw a library. They had everything and everything was well run. The residents were very happy and very friendly.

We visited Brookdale Lake Worth. We didn't like the 1-bedroom studio apartment because the bathroom was literally in the bedroom, and my friend was not happy with that. The standard 1-bedroom wasn't big enough, and we didn't see a 2-bedroom. The staff was wonderful. The lunch was palatable. We're Jewish so he wasn't really impressed with the lunch. We saw a swimming pool and they have transportation.

Brookdale Lake Worth is an older facility. There are no closed hallways from the rooms to the eating and common area. The rooms open off either into a courtyard or a walkway that goes around the courtyard at the second or third level. The apartments seemed to be a little bit bigger, but they have a lousy kitchen. They have a lot of activities. They have a putting green, a pool, a shuffleboard court, and an exercise room. The staff was very good and they had a good evening menu. It's close to the toll road, but it is also very close to a drugstore.

My family member has been in Brookdale Lake Worth for ten years now, and she has been happy there. The staff is pretty good. She has a 1-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and a screened-in balcony. The grounds are very nice; it is well-kept. It just seems like a caring place and a good place for them to be.

The studio room and the kitchenette at Brookdale Lake Worth Gardens were really small, and I didn’t get a homey feel there. They were so nice. They have doctors and a nurse there all the time. They’ll take you to scheduled appointments. They take you to stores if you want to buy something. They have the pool, and they have shaded areas outside. They have happy hour, and they have snacks.

The atmosphere was tense at Lake Worth because there were several residents complaining. The units were not modern, pretty old, and there’s nothing attractive about it.

We visited Lake Worth Gardens but we didn’t care for it. The apartment was nowhere near like the one that my mother will end up going to and everybody was very helpful. It didn’t look to be clean and the whole place looked much more run down and older. It didn’t appeal to her and to me.

I did look at Lake Worth Gardens, and it was an older facility but very nice. The problem with Lake Worth Gardens is that when you entered and went to the left, that's where the assisted living was, and if you went to the right, it was more of a nursing home. They seemed to have plenty of activities, but I didn't stay long enough to find out.

Lake Worth Gardens was a very pretty community, and it had a lot of amenities. You just have to be careful because everything is extra and the billing was really nonstop there. They did have adequate care. My mother unfortunately had a run-in with a different resident and they didn't handle it very well. She wasn't comfortable living there. However, their appearance was great, and some of the people were very friendly. Aside from bingo, there were not many activities that I was aware of. They were remodeling the dining room while she was there. The food was very good. They should improve their billing and their security. The apartments were beautiful. They had very nice flooring and blinds that you got to pick yourself, neutral colors, very spacious, and they're redone every time each client went in.

I live in Lake Worth Gardens. I have been here for about three years, and I love it. It is an independent living. I have my own apartment. They have meals. They have a driver that takes you wherever you need to you. They will take you to the doctor. I am very happy here. The staff is wonderful. They are very accommodating and very helpful. If there is anything you need, they are there to help you. They are very good.
My apartment is beautiful. I have a washer and dryer in my apartment. One of the people that work here comes here every week and cleans the sheet in my washer and dryer. They have lots of activities, but I don't do much because I am not up to it. They have a movie here every night. They have bus trips every day. They take them shopping. They have different games in the game room, and they have cards. The food is very good. I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They can deliver, or you can have it in the dining room. The dining room is very nice. It is a regular dining room with the tables, and the waiters come and wait on you to take your order. The area is beautiful. There is a manmade lake right outside my window. I have my cat. They are very accommodating.

We were scheduled to have a tour at Lake Worth Gardens at 12:00. It was not until lunch, which I think was a bit strange because, being that they made a 12:00 appointment, I think we should have been served lunch. Also the marketing person was not appropriately dressed. The whole thing was second rate. They need to have the marketing look at how they market, e.g. how they do tours, how they treat people looking at the place.

We visited Lake Worth Gardens, and we liked it. We had a pleasant visit, and I know they were going to be doing some renovating in some of the public rooms which was probably needed. The apartment that we saw was nice.

As the daughter in law of a new resident who just returned from a visit, I am so impressed with Lake Worth Gardens! The large two bedroom apartment is more than sufficient space to accommodate most items and is quite comfortable. After staying with mom for a week, I can say the meals we had together were healthy and delicious. The staff goes above and beyond to please and every request was granted. Nancy was instrumental in easing the transition from long time home owner to new resident, offering assistance and ideas in many ways. She even introduced her to residents with similar interests to encourage new social contacts. It was reassuring to leave knowing mom is in good hands

The apartment space is more than adequate for a resident bringing furniture from her previous home. The food is excellent. The most impressive thing is the friendliness and accommodating attitude of the staff. Nancy was instrumental in easing an emotional transition for my nonagenarian mother.

The facility and the room themselves are very nice. I have a big apartment. The surroundings are very nice also. But the food is average.The staff treated me fairly, I wouldn't say it's the best place ever, but it's alright.
