The Villa at Carpenter's is a lovely place. Food is offered two meals a day. The rooms are homey and spacious, and they have different size of apartments to show. They have quite few activities. The people are very nice. The food is very good, and the dining room is big. They also have a swimming pool.

Excellent facility! If I were ready to change my residence, this is the community that I would go to. The Estates at Carpenters is a community where you can buy your own unit, and that takes you through from just living on your own to assisted living and nursing home for only an additional cost. Each unit has a nice-sized kitchen, refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave; you could do your own cooking if you choose. You can also get a unit that is like a studio or one or two-bedroom. All the rooms have large windows so you can see out. The staff is trained and very helpful. They provide transportation to doctors, hospital, and they have regular scheduled outings. They have a beauty shop and a barber shop on the campus. Security is excellent. They have a guard at the gate at night or if there are special occasions. They have excellent outside facilities, beautiful ponds with fountains, and they have lots of trees.

My aunt lives at Estates at Carpenters. I was able visit the place. It's a large campus and it's nicely landscaped. I was able to see their common rooms. They have a craft and game room. I guess I would say the thing that stands out is that they seemed to have all the basics covered in the sense that there are a lot of conveniences located right there on site. There's transportation to medical appointment or shopping. They have excursions that they arrange for the residents to go. I only interacted with only a couple staff very briefly and they were very friendly, professional, warm, and welcoming.

We liked Estates at Carpenters because it's very nice. The people were very friendly. The dining room was big and they had a good menu. The food was good and available between 12 noon and 6 in the evening. The apartment was in a nice size for one-bedroom and came in with an oven, a refrigerator and a big walk-in closet. It also had a private balcony. They had a game room, a library, a pool and a Jacuzzi. There was a small office with an enlarging and a shredding machine. They had 24-hour security. If the price was a little lower, dad could have moved right in.

We visited the The Estates at Carpenters in Lakeland while in the area looking for a suitable assisted living facility for my friend's mother.
Many of their family members live in the area, so this would be an ideal place for her to live.
The outer grounds looked well-kept and pleasant. The staff greeted us and seemed very warm and friendly - which is the most important thing to the family. The foyer was nicely decorated and seemed homey, as did all of the communal rooms.
The rooms were all clean, well-kept and conveniently designed. They take the time to personalize to each resident's tastes.
The dining areas were nicely designed and warm. Residents may choose communal dining or more private situations. There are places for them to visit with families, as well.
The food looked deliciously prepared, as well as nutritious. The dietician and chef changes up the menu to keep it interesting and encourage resident to make suggestions.
The activity calendar featured many healthy and stimulating activities. We liked that the staff encouraged participation and tries to make everything interesting for its residents.
They have outings to local libraries, events, culture, restaurants, shopping and athletic activities. They take suggestions to update the schedule as much as possible.
We've visited quite a few assisted living facilities in the area and found the staff at this one to be particularly friendly and competent.

We loved The Manor at Carpenters. They have a wonderful pool. They have a handicapped chair and it puts you right in the pool and takes you out. It's very much handicap accessible. We've been there three times and every time it's been really good. The rooms were great and a nice size. The meal was good and the dining room was great. They had a nice library. Everything was nice. There were people in the workout room and in the library. There's a room where you can do puzzles and games, and there were people in there as well.

I was at The Carpenters (The Manor at Carpenters). I was in their rehab part for a while. It was a very clean, very nice and well-organized place. The staff was wonderful. The food in the rehab was terrible, though.

Carpenter Home was not very new and just seemed older. But the staff is top-notch. I like it based on its being close and the cleanliness of the facility.

The rooms at The Manor at Carpenters are small, but the smallest room I went in was only one bed, so it was okay. The other one has two people in it and it felt crowded, but it was do-able. People wh are seeking or need a nursing home, this facility is their first choice. The facility is clean. The staff are very well-trained, and they care for their patients. They are also very upfront with their services.

My dad and my mom were at the Villa at Carpenters for three years. My dad is in the independent living facility and my mom is in the nursing home. When my dad checked other facilities in Lakeland, he liked this facility a lot. It was very good and the nursing home was above and beyond. The care that my mother received in the nursing home was fantastic and the staff were very good.

I was here for 2 hours. This facility has different levels of care: assisted living, independent living and nursing home. It's located right on the outskirts of Lakewood, it's a very nice place. The original building is old but they completely remodeled the place like put new carpets which made the place looked really new, clean and neat despite its pretty heavy rate.
They have different accommodations, from studio type to condos. The apartments were very nice. The largest apartments have the largest living area I've seen and larger than any house I've lived with one. The apartments have kitchenettes and baths in each as well. I ate lunch there and the food was excellent. You can order from a menu just like in a restaurant. It was also very well prepared.
Aside from the exercise and activity room which I didn't like because they were not up to date, I was impressed with everything I saw here. I never heard anything negative about this place from the residents. This place is highly recommended.

The Estate at Carpenters was really nice. We have a friend who lives there and she's very happy with everything that they do, but she's got the money to do all that stuff. I mean, it's one thing to be able to afford the monthly payments, but there are all kinds of outside things you have to buy by yourself. The apartments are all the same, but some are bigger. My friend has a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit. Once in a while we see activities like pool tables and stuff like that. They go outside to dinner, and on the third floor they have one elevator. It's probably the best, but it's also the most expensive. The staff is nice and everything, but aside from them not having a 2-bedroom that we can afford, we didn't like having to eat every meal there.

Estates at Carpenters was very nice and essentially decorated with the help of the residents. The food was very good. I like the environment, the safety, and the concerned people. The rooms and grounds were very nice. They have trees -- so that helps with the shade -- and the view was nice. It was very comfortable and pleasant. They had a pool and a gym with several work out machines, walking path, and bicycles. They have activities every day like games, movies, library, walking groups, and water aerobics type of things.

I like the walk-in closets at the Estates, and the staff is very nice. The surroundings are very pretty. The food sometimes leaves a little to be desired, but it is improving. We have activities, transportation, swimming pool, exercise room, pool room, craft room, and woodworking room.

We are going to move into Estates At Carpenters. We chose it because the price is very good and the apartments are large and spacious. We are going to get a 13-square-foot apartment. The activities are adequate. I am not overly fond of the food, but everybody has different tastes. It also depends on the chef at that time, so it can change.

The Estates at Carpenters was very business-like yet they were very helpful. They offered to show me around and showed me a unit. The rooms were very nice but I think that they were a little overpriced for the person that I was looking for. It was in a beautiful community. The common dining area was very nice and very homey. I was watching the people as they were waiting to go into the dining area and everybody was friendly.

The one that we enjoyed the most is The Estates at Carpenter. They have a beautiful facility. They call it a life care community because you go in as a healthy individual, and they have the ability to care for you if you need assistance and later if you need a nursing home facility. Your partner may continue to live in your original apartment while you might ascend to the other areas with no extra fee. Of course communities like that have all kinds of activities, and this one even had a wood shop which some of them don't have. It is very nice, and it is a complete facility.

I really like The Estates at Carpenters out in Lakeland. It's designed and built to hurricane specifications. We met one lady who showed us around and she was very competent. They do have different styles and different sizes with their rooms, and they look good to me. We did have lunch in their dining room and the food was OK.

The Estates at Carpenters is a top rated community. When we moved in a year ago, it was very overwhelming at first. But we soon made a lot of new friends (who didn't mind that we couldn't always remember their name). The staff is 1st rate and always willing to help in any way. It is a great comfort to me to know that if the need arises and one of us must go to the Manor or Villa (24 hour nursing or assisted living area) that they are top rated both in the state and the country. You always have access to nursing assistance if needed. No place is perfect, but this comes pretty close.

My wife and I moved to the Estates about 7 years ago. We had toured the facility about 3 years prior to our move and at that time had placed a deposit on a unit. There was a waiting list for the size apartment that we wanted and they called periodically as a follow-up. They called us in April with an apartment of the desired size, but we decided "we were not ready yet". They called again in September and we said "yes". They then began to ready the apartment. We moved in the First week of January, and have enjoyed our new home ever since.
I have heard comments from people who say "I don't want to give up my freedom, make all new friends and live in an apartment." My response to this is that "the only freedoms I gave up are, mowing the lawn, cleaning the gutters, fixing broken appliances and raking leaves." In the 53 years Theresa and I have been married, the only time we had lived in an apartment was for 9 months while I went to Graduate School. Regardless, we had no problem adjusting to our new home. We have found the staff, from the top to the bottom, friendly, helpful and always available. Our new neighbors are as friendly as anyone could hope for. We love it here and have had no regrets over our decision to come the to The Estates at Carpenters.
