Independent Living Communities in Altamonte Springs, FL

"It was a great place for my grandparents. They had a beautiful one bedroom deluxe apartment that was spacious enough to accommodate them both. The staff was super friendly and you could tell they really cared about the residents like their own families. They had a lot of activities but the best was their daily happy hour. The community encouraged families to join their loved ones and have a glass of wine and enjoy the music together. I've never seen an assisted living who offered this. Every time I visited them I felt like I was at the Ritz Carlton."

"I toured The Savoy Gracious Retirement Living. It was beautiful. It had everything you needed and wanted. It was perfect. I'm afraid if I had any medical problems, they would not keep me there long. It had a small kitchen and a bathroom. It was a studio apartment, and they had a good sale. The person who took me around was very helpful, and they had three meals."

"I have toured Tremont, and I'm going there today for a second tour. As soon as I walked in, they were ready for me, which was nice. It was very friendly and very comfortable. It felt welcoming without being overwhelming. There's a full-sized refrigerator in the apartment, which is something that I definitely wanted. They do not have anything there to cook with. No stove and oven type thing. You can bring in a microwave, a toaster oven, or any kind of small appliance. What I don't like about it is that they don't have a communal kitchen-type area that some places have. Nevertheless, meals are included, like three meals a day. I haven't tried their food, but I talked to one resident who said the meals have gotten better. The community was very clean. They're in the process of renovating some rooms. They were very nicely done. It felt airy. There are nice, big windows and a patio. Almost all of the rooms have a small outdoor area. The place is adjacent to an open field and then some woods. There is parking and all of that."

"My tour at Florida Golden Adult Care went very well. I liked that it was a neighborhood, in that my aunt wouldn't get lost in a giant building. The place was very clean. The staff who toured us was very welcoming and informative. I was given a tour of the house. She showed me the complete facility. The dining area was clean and welcoming. There's a nice big backyard with a screened-in porch to eat out, and there's a TV, too."

"Bahama Bay Club Luxury Senior Living was a very nice facility. I enjoyed my tour. I know some people who have recently moved in there, and they're happy with it. It's all brand new. They had a library. It seemed like they had everything they needed. The staff was very informative and very pleasant."

"Every time I visit my parents this community is spotless. The plant Operation director, Eri is amazing and my parents love him."

"My wife and I moved in at Arya windermere few days ago. we are here almost for a week. we are very comfortable and feel very safe. The staff is very helpful and our check in process was very smooth. Catherine, leasing consultant was extermely helpful . she walked us thru every step very patiently. They have numerous activities. This is our first experience to live in a independent living. The apartment is beautiful, it's one of the nicest places I've been to. we are close to our grandchildren and they can visit us anytime. They have a library, swimming pool, massage parlor, a sauna or steam room, and they have a workout room.Everyone I have met so far is very very nice."

"We had dinner at Gentry Park Orlando. They give you 2 or 3 options with each meal. So, you have some variety. The facility is new, clean, and very appealing. They have a movie room and an activities room. The apartments are kept in excellent condition. They have a bus that takes the residents to the doctor's appointments and several different stores. Then they have an outing where they go to dinner. So, they have lots of activities and it's maintained well."

"I went to The Summit of Winter Garden. The staff takes the time to talk to you and explain everything to you. The people working there, I feel more comfortable talking to them. They really care. They have a gym and they have an outside where you can sit down, and it's really good."

"We visited HarborChase of Dr. Phillips and toured for independent living. They had a beautiful dining room and lovely food. They're delicious. The staff members were very professional. The place is brand-new, so it's lovely. It's very clean, very neat, and has a very professional air to it."

"In 2010 I made a decision to relocate. Choosing Villa Grande was my final choice. Looking back, I realize that it was a very wise decision. Over the years my needs have changed but the management team has supported and met those needs. The programs and amenities have provided a lifestyle which has helped me enjoy each day with a positive outlook. I look forward to another 13 years!"

"We like Lakeside at Waterman Village a lot. We liked where it was located. It was pretty and very comfortable. They have nice apartments, but at the time, it was out of our price range. Overall, the staff was wonderful. The place was very clean. They presented very well. They had all kinds of activities. It was a nice place. The only drawback was that we couldn't afford it. The staff was amazing. They were very patient and understanding and very capable of answering any questions that we had. They were really nice. They took us on a tour of the entire area. It was just beautiful. The facility was well kept. The staff was very friendly, polite, and helpful, too."

"I visited the independent living community of Sky Active Sterling Court. It was one of the first places that was recommended to me. I went there and it was very nice. I was impressed. I like the location, and that it's modern and inviting. Everybody was also friendly. The person who gave me the tour was very friendly. She showed me all the amenities that they have there, and they were very nice. She took her time and was not rushing or anything like that. They showed me the outdoor space, but I didn't get a chance to see the pool area, since I can't walk a lot. She did mention that there was a pool."
