Independent Living Communities in Sebring, FL

"We visited the independent living community of The Palms of Sebring. It wasn't too bad, but it was too much walking. We told the lady there that we couldn't walk that far or that much, but she didn't really accommodate us in that way. Luckily, I had my wheelchair, so my husband and I had to exchange every so often because we both cannot walk that well. I'd ride the wheelchair for a little bit, then when he got tired of walking, I'd have to sit him in the wheelchair, and then I would push it. I think that was very uncouth. The person who gave the tour seemed to be very impatient with us. We had to take a taxi, and it ran us almost 60 bucks there and back. It was a waste of our time. She seemed to really want to get rid of us because she had other people who wanted to look at one of the rooms, too. She just kind of wanted to hurry up and get us out of there. The place itself was very nice. I have to say the grounds were, I wouldn't say meticulous, but they were kept up. The food was really good. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and got to meet some of the people who were staying there. The dining room is also really nice, and the way they take care of you."

"The senior housing community of Fair Havens Village in Sebring was really nice. They didn't have any rooms at the moment, but they said that they would get in touch with me. They had a library with a wide selection of books, including both paperbacks and hardcovers. They had games and other things in there, too. They also have shuffleboard, and some nights they play bingo and cards, and it was very nice. The dining area was very clean and very neat. They also have parking in the back, and it was adequate."

"Tanglewood is a 55 and above community and I love it. Everybody in the company loves their job, they're very nice people, and interactive. It's a very safe, gated community. They have dances, cards, bingo, games, dinners, and we got Olympics. There's a pool, we got a tennis court, all kinds of stuff. The facility is beautiful, it's great. This is independent living but we own our homes here; there aren't like manufactured homes."

"The staff was very friendly and nice. I have spoken with a few clienteles there and it seemed to be a nice place. They showed me a couple rooms and they were fine. The surrounding was very nice and it was quite a large area. I was really pleased with them. I would recommend it to others. "
