Independent Living Communities in Gainesville, FL

"The community was very nice and everyone there seemed happy. There were a lot of people outside and down in the halls, instead of hiding in their apartments. It was clean, nice to look at, and very inviting. The apartment that they showed us was very nice. It's a place I could live in if I needed to. The one staff member that I saw was very nice and helpful, and answered all the questions that we had. All I know about their services is what they say they have. Everything sounded excellent."

"We decided to pick The Village, and we will be moving in next month. They have plenty of activities. I talked to several of the residents, and they were very pleased with the place. The staff was very courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. The apartments looked a little small, but I think we will just have to down size, and I think we would be very there. "

"Plantation Oaks was one that we also liked very much. I liked the staff, there was plenty of parking, the food was good, and the tour was very interesting. They had different things that were adorable for the residents, like they had a ballroom where they had all of their dancing and whatever was going on, and they decorated that. They had a pool. Their studios were quite large compared to some of the other studios we have looked at. The grounds have got some trees, not too many. One of the big drawbacks to my mind was it was on the corner of a very busy intersection, and so you did get the traffic noise unless your apartment was very far back. But it was very pleasant, they had covered walkways between the buildings, and the staff was very pleasant. It was kind of laid back but congenial. The two things that were kind of different were the pool and this ballroom where a lot of the activities went on. "
