The Thrive at Skidaway was nice. I got to do the tour of the community and they gave me their brochure. They had independent living, assisted living and memory care and I did a quick tour of all of them. It's very nice because it's new too. I don't have any complaints about it.

My mom is currently in Thrive at Skidaway. It's been pretty good, just a few communication glitches. It's been fine, but I'm not overly enthusiastic about it. The workers are nice. It's fine, I would say it's average. My mom's room is great, her accommodations are nice. It's clean and it's a new facility, so it's very nice. The food is great; it's a lot of variety, and she has all the food she can handle. All meals all day and snacks. If she doesn't feel like eating in the dining room, they bring it to her in her room.
The staff overall has been very good, like the day-to-day staff, the people that work in the dining room, the arts and crafts director. It's the people in charge of her care scheduling. Getting a reimbursement with the business people; it's been a challenge trying to get her long-term care, health insurance, and I coordinated everything with them. So that's been a very big frustration.

Thrive on Skidaway was excellent. It's the nicest one I've seen. The staff was very responsive and attentive. Their two-bedroom apartments had a nice kitchen, nice living area, and nice sized bathrooms. The dining area was clean and the whole place feels like a nice five-star hotel more than it does as an assisted living or apartment. It looks great. They have a coffee bar, a hair salon, an exercise room, physical therapy, occupational therapy area, lobby area, card room, game room, pool tables, pickleball courts, and Bocce ball courts.

My brother has moved into Thrive at Skidaway. The facility itself is wonderful, brand new, and it's right across the street from everything you could possibly need or want. It's got a pharmacy, a hair salon, nail salon, grocery, gas station, travel agency, and a care business. If you need extra help with anything, they've got CNAs and RNs that will help you. There's a library and everything, so that's a big plus. Just before my brother moved in, they lost their chef, and my brother says that the meals have been pretty bad. The staff is personable and ready to help in any way, except getting a new chef, but supposedly it is imminent that the good chef is coming back; I hope it's temporary. Hopefully that will be remedied.

We took a tour of Thrive at Skidaway for my dad, and I like the facility. The convenience of it being close to us was very nice. It's only about a mile and a half from my house. It's recently been renovated, and there's nothing that I saw there that I thought needed renovation or updating. It's all new, and it's recently been redone. It's very clean, and it has all the facilities that he needs, including workouts and access to physical therapy. It has an actual coffee shop within the facility, and as I said, it is very close to where we're going to be living. All the communications that I've had with them to work through the arrangements to have him there have all exceeded my expectations. The staff was all very nice, very accommodating, and very friendly. The other thing that I really like about it is that you can start in independent living, and if you develop additional needs, then you can seamlessly transition to assisted living, and then from there even into memory care. They provide all of those different options as your family member might require them. I did not have a meal there, but I did look at the menus. It looked as if some of it may have come from a fine-dining establishment. It was a very impressive menu.

We toured Thrive at Skidaway. It's brand new.It's not even completely full yet, but I felt that the memory care rooms were smaller than the other places we looked at. It's fantastic and spic and span clean from top to bottom. There were playing some cards in the memory care. They only had two clients at the time we toured, but they were at a table. There was a director with them doing activities. The staff is very knowledgeable.

About Thrive at Skidaway
The BRAND NEW Community, opening in Early 2020, has a wide spectrum of living options under one roof.
Independent Living is for our residents who are loving the later years of life and looking to downsize or find a close-knit community of friends. It’s a wonderful mix of daily social events and peaceful retreat to your own suite. Envision a cruise ship on land.
Assisted Living is ideal for residents who value their independence but may need assistance with daily activities. Our assistance promotes independence and is accessible at all times of the day.
Memory Care is for our Elders who are living with some form of memory loss. Every member of the Thrive on Skidaway team is NIDE (National Institute for Dementia Education) certified. That includes everyone from the chefs and housekeepers to the concierge and nurses.
What Makes Us Special
At Thrive, we’ve dedicated our lives to ensure there is purpose in every breath of each resident we’re honored to serve. We understand that Elders and their loved ones depend on us not only to live, but to live well. It’s a challenge we welcome – every day.
