Independent Living Communities in Brooksville, FL

"Sky Active Regency Residence looks quite adequate. And it seems to have everything I'm looking for. People seem great. The staff who gave the tour was sincere and knowledgeable. The rooms looked very nice and very accommodating to me. And from what I saw, the place was absolutely clean."

"We toured Keystone Place at Terra Bella. I like that very much. I thought that esthetically, it looked good, it was clean, and the staff we spoke to was very friendly. The residents appear to be happy, the ones we saw walking around. If it was me, I would have gotten into that place. It was very nice. They were very helpful and very friendly. They did a great job giving us a tour and telling us about the services they provide and the activities that are available for the residents. It was great. It was a good atmosphere."

"My parents are here. The staff is very attentive. All of their departments are very complete. They have doctors, professional nurses, and attendants. The building and grounds are spectacular. It has a swimming pool, putting green, three restaurant types, a 250-seat theater, Symphony Orchestra that practices there Friday evenings occasionally, many different venues, libraries, game rooms, and a large gymnasium. They have a full-time chef for three meals a day. The rooms that we acquired were large, spacious, and included a full kitchen. It's an assisted living facility. They're escorted to meals by a wheelchair. I've had three encounters there with food and it was all very nice. They have numerous activities."

"This is where I would want my mom to stay. It's a 5-star across the board. The only thing I didn't like was the size of the rooms for a person because it was more like a hotel. They're very clean. They had a fine dining area like a five-star hotel. They had security for the memory unit. It didn't feel like a nursing home setting. The person who showed me and gave me information was just phenomenal. She knew exactly what she was doing and how to interact with the person that was interested. I checked their dining area, but I didn't try their food. They did go over the type of food that they had. They have a menu. They don't give one thing out and say you have to eat it. It was like fine dining. They could choose what they wanted to eat."

"The area of Tampa Gardens Senior Living was very well-kept. The young lady at the front desk greeted us with open arms as if we were family. They escorted us to different activities they have, whether it was bingo night or movies. The young lady gave us so much literature and information to take home. They showed us around the memory care facility, which was very well-kept and secure. My dad is a wanderer and likes to walk around, but we felt very secure that he wouldn't be in any danger or anything like that. The staffing was amazing. The place was immaculate. They have menus and so many activities that would keep my dad occupied and very busy. We even spoke to one of the nurses there who takes care of these patients with these needs. She was very, very helpful. She speaks multiple languages, which is fantastic, not only English, but she also speaks Spanish. Someone else spoke Filipino, which is fantastic. Somebody else spoke Hindi, who is very well-balanced. We saw the menu, which had a large variety. They had vegan choices and choices for special diets and special needs. It was a very nice menu that we saw. The dining area was very clean and organized."

"The tour I had with The Grande went very well. I liked how they had the dinner service with a server. They ask you what you want to drink, they ask you what you want to eat, and they serve you like you're at a restaurant. The rooms were nice because even when you share a room, there's a half wall in between you. So there is privacy even if you're sharing a room. They have an activity room and another area out the hall where people can watch TV if they want to go out of that room. They have a lot of activities on their calendar. They seemed very adaptive to the person's individual needs. They also have private rooms. They've been very helpful with the paperwork."

"Oak Grove ALF is a small place, and so it's not overwhelming. The people were very nice, helpful, and seemed concerned about their residents and I liked where it was located. They were very knowledgeable and patient. The only drawback right now is they've only got one bathroom for seven people because one of them is under renovation, but everybody just seems to get along well."

"My mother-in-law will move into Family Extended Care of Spring Hill. It's a small assisted living, and we liked the atmosphere when we walked in. The staff was very friendly and nice. We saw the food, and it smelled good. It's an older facility, but everything was clean. We went in there, and they were playing bingo. They were all having a good time."

"The one lady that was working at Elevated Estates of Spring Hill was new at the time so she didn't have as much knowledge as we were asking questions. The facility was clean. On the outside, they were doing some work on the landscaping at the time. Their setup was more like you share rooms with people and my friend wasn't looking for that."

"It has been a wonderful experience at Heritage Pines. The maintenance of the community was A+. We like the activities. We have tennis and picket ball. We have a craft room, a card room, and we have bingo going on. We also have a pool and water aerobics. I like the clubhouse, and I also like the camaraderie around with our neighbors. Overall, it's an excellent community to live in. "

"I'm considering Banyan Senior Apartments. It is an independent living facility. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. They do have some activities that you can join if you want to, e.g., they have bingo and they have trips. They also offer transportation to stores. They also have a pool as part of this facility. "

"I am a resident of Journet Place. They have activities for the residents like bingo and pool exercises now that the weather is getting warm. Insurance companies also come in here. They don't provide any meals, but the staff that I met were very good."

"The Hacienda Village is for people who are 55 and older. You can either buy or rent the trailer or pre-fab home. The one that I am living in is very good. They have all kinds of things going on here like music, fun, and stuff like that. For every holiday or whatever it is, they have parties. Everybody cleans their own place. Management is fine; everything is OK. They do keep up the property and everything. "

"We are staying at the Villages of Citrus Hills, it's a lifestyle community and all-independent living. They offer water exercise, they have free-swimming pools, racquetball, volleyball, a tennis center, and 3 golf courses. We also have a social auditorium with scheduled speakers and programs, a bunch of different clubs, games, and interest groups. We have restaurants but there are no pre-planned meals. We have 3 different ones, a fancy one, a casual one, and a tiki bar that serves food. The food is good."
