Independent Living Communities in Coral Gables, FL

"I went to visit. It's a higher class. Very nice pool. Lots of activities as well. They were able to show me the activities, and how they take the residents to the stores. They have movies, card games, and different things to keep the population engaged. They showed me two different apartments and two different styles. I like them. Both were very nice. They came with a small kitchen. I got a good feeling when I visited the residences. The place is good. The staff was good. It was a beautiful establishment."

"Covenant Living of Florida was the very best place, without a doubt. It's excellent. It has great facilities. Their therapy room is three times bigger than anyone else. It's just way above everybody. I give it 10s right across the board. It's that good. They have condos in there for permanent living. It's huge. My partner was there for two weeks for therapy. It's top-notch all the way around. It's updated and it's very well managed from top to bottom. Everybody tries to get in there."

"I toured for my mother, and they were pretty good. They were very receptive, too. They were very clean, and it looked like a very nice facility. The price was just too high for me. The room was very nice and very spacious. The only person I interacted with was the salesperson, and she was pretty good."

"I have a loved one who who is a resident at Independence Hall and I truly feel at ease knowing she is in the care of loving staff like Julianna. She is an exceptional physical therapist with a good spirit and a wonderful bedside manner. It is a really clean environment (they just had new carpets installed!) and the maintenance and house cleaning crews keep the rooms and communal areas very clean. That is important in South Florida! There is a great chef, too! One thing I love are the opportunities my aunt has to remain as active as she has always been. She really enjoys the activities the staff organizes especially, exercise activities, happy hours, meals out at local restaurants, and shopping excusions. Personally, the residence is nearby my home and I am able to visit frequently, which makes me happy, and their admin department is always so kind when I call or visit. Nice job!"

"My mom moved to Forest Trace. The outdoor space that they have is very welcoming for her to be able to walk, not like she's inside all the time. The cleanliness is okay. It could be improved. She just did a yoga class. The exercise classes they give them, she likes, and she loves the meal there. They have music and singers. Everyone was very nice. The cleanliness in the out area is okay, but I think they're not cleaning the rooms. At least I expected the room to be sparkling clean the first day, and it wasn't. I think it was a rush to clean up."

"The whole Grand Living at Coral Gables is wonderful. They have three restaurants here and a cafeteria, and the food is great. They have a whole day of activities. They take you to the grocery and then to the doctor's. It's wonderful. The staff is incredible. They have a gym, a pool table, a craft place, and water aerobics. They give you a schedule for the month. Every day they have like 8 or 9 activities. It's kind of expensive, but it's great. They give you a lot of things for the price. It is close to my family. It is an amazing place to be. It's like you were at The Ritz. It's like a perfect hotel."

"Irving Cypen Tower at Miami Jewish Health had a lot of things that I could use, like the service of the doctors coming in and it's close to three different hospitals and also Palmer Eye Institute. They have rehab, a library, a swimming pool with a ramp in it, and a card room. There are a couple of dining rooms. There are only 70 people living there and I will be in the independent living. They have two meals a day seven days a week, and they have church services outside. All the rooms are for the handicapped. They've got nice showers. Also movable showers. They have one bedroom which is fairly large and the windows are really big with nice views out over the city all over the complex. They have kitchenettes. Some of them have stoves and cooktops, and some of them just have the cooktops, but they have full refrigerators, a dishwasher, and the usual things in kitchens. They have two big closets, and big bathrooms, and the toilets are not extremely hard, but they are also low ones like you find in regular apartments. Their floors are imitation wood or carpet if you want."

"I am proud to call Mirabelle my home. 5 stars all the way around. The building is beautiful with so many amenities. The food and restaurant is amazing and the food is super tasty. My new apartment is beyond extraordinary! It is spacious and the view is beautiful. The staff at Mirabelle as well is very helpful and attentive. I love Mirabelle. "

"I have toured Allegro Doral for my parents. It is a beautiful community and newly built. Everything is new, modern, and clean. It is obviously in lease-up mode, so you don't see a lot of people yet, but the few we saw were very happy with the premises and the activities. I think at the time we went there they were doing aerobics in the pool, and everybody looked really happy. They have a very good selection of apartments, very good-sized models, and the distribution was great. The only thing is they did not have enough of the one-bedrooms with a den and a good view, so I wish they had more of those. I saw they had an arts room, a movie room, bingo, and happy hours. She sent me an activities schedule. They also have a beauty salon. We did not get to see a lot of people because of COVID restrictions, so we mainly dealt with the sales director and the receptionist. They also have aerobics, yoga, and a gym. They have a lot of activities in the gym."

"I moved into The Solaire at Las Palmas Village and I have nice living quarters. I have a stove and oven, a refrigerator, and air conditioning. It has all the comforts that I want in a place to live. This place has 3 buildings, and I'm in building number 1. Building number 3 has a gym, a library, a community room, and a barbershop. I am dissatisfied with the building that I'm in. I should be in building number 3 which has all of the amenities that this place has to offer. Building number 1 is the farthest away. I have to walk a block to get to the exit, and building number 3 sits right at the exit. The manager showed me building number 3 when she was giving me a tour of the place. Then she led me to building number 1 and showed me 2 rooms at building number 1, leaving me with the impression that that's where I was supposed to be. I wasn't told that I could live in building number 3."

"This has to be the best retirement community that exists. Medley Lakeside Retirement Park is a small family oriented mobile home park where everyone knows each other by name. They have parties every month, and the Medley police department often participates in their activities as well. Is like a big family. In fact the Town of Medley Police department throws a party once a year, and the senior ladies competes to win a crown and a trophy. This year the theme was Flamenco, so all the ladies dressed up in flamenco costumes provided by the Town of Medley. The major, Ramon Rodriguez is the sweetest person I've ever met. Everyone loves him as he is a very giving person, and cares a lot for all the Senior Citizens as well as for the rest of the residents in Medley. Everyone has fun at Medley Lakeside park. Those Seniors are spoiled big time, they enjoy Holiday Parties, they celebrate birthdays every month, Thanksgiving dinners, they go to places such as Santa's enchanted forest, theaters, casinos, this is all free for them, including free food where they enjoy in their beautiful dining room. The reason why I know about the park is because my parents live there for more than 18 years now, and sometimes I participate in the park activities, and boy do I have fun when I do. Thank you. "

"My mom moved into The Oasis at Coral Reef. They have a lot of activities. It's very nice, very clean, and no issues. The rooms are a nice size. They have a gym, a hair salon, and a pool. The staff is very courteous, polite, and knowledgeable. They do flower arrangements. They have a game night. They have planned trips to Publix and Walmart, and they do physical therapy and exercise. As for the value, you can't beat it."
