The Best Independent Living Communities in Levy County, FL

"The Village is a fantastic facility. The rooms are adequate in size, well-insulated for air conditioning, heat, and sound. Although I have come to expect it from other facilities, there was no discernible smell of sickness or hygiene. The staff were all friendly, and seemed familiar with all the residents. There is a community board towards the front of the lobby that holds all the birthdays of residents, as well as a map with little pins in it indicating where everyone is from. I noticed that there are a lot of what we would refer to as 'snowbirds' here in Florida; that is people from very northern states and Canada. The elevators were easy to access, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to be doing whatever it is they were doing at the time. I noticed there is a salon for the ladies as well as a room with comfy looking couches and televisions labeled the 'Man Cave' where I assume the gentlemen gather to watch sporting events. All in all, I really enjoyed my visit to the Villages and it is definitely a contender on the list of places I will bring my grandparents to consider living at. "

"Plantation Oaks is very welcoming and the residents were very approachable and out and about instead of being stuckin their rooms. The leadership is very responsive and accommodating and listened very well. My friend moved into their assisted living. They also have memory care. My friend’s impression of the food is Southern style; she’s not as accustomed to it, but the food is fine. They have an activity room for painting, cards, and puzzles. They have a TV room for watching movies together with a large selection of different kinds of movies. They have church groups and some local people bringing in religious activities. They also have bingo. The building looks nice and well cared for."
