The Mayflower Winter Park, FL

We went to The Mayflower. It's acceptable. It's a very old facility, built like 40 years ago, so everything was very old. The staff was very nice. The rooms were acceptable. They redo the rooms every time a resident comes in, but the lobby and the building, everything was just too old. It needs renovation. They had 1-bedrooms or studios, and they had different configurations. They had arts and crafts, beauty shops, and regular dining.

The Mayflower is the top-of-the-line here in Orlando, and it's the epitome of everything exclusive. It has a hefty price and a very formal dining room. The place was immaculate. They didn't have assigned seating at the tables, so people can visit with other tables. We ate there, and the food was superior. We talked to several people who were very business and customer-oriented, and took their jobs seriously.

The Mayflower is small. At this point, my dad is very comfortable and healthy. The staff is very nice, very helpful, and caring. They have birthday parties and games, they have a computer room and a rec room with a pool table, and they take them to the stores and stuff like that.

I am constantly at this facility visiting. What a breath of fresh air. The residents attend local activities, seasonal events and eateries. I go visit weekly taking him to lunch at a local eatery downtown and return with no problems. He raves about the meals and the quality of the food and it makes me feel safe knowing he is there. The very best thing he likes about this place is it similar to a "family." Other men at this assisted living facility are all polite and I have never heard a negative comment from anyone. I would recommend this place to a family member or friend.
