Memory Care Communities in Apopka, FL

"The Grove at Trelago was nice and the food was good, but the apartments were too small. It's terrific, the ambience, the amenities, the swimming pool, the gardens, and the food. The only thing was that the apartments were too small for us. For other people, they may be OK. They have card rooms and a movie theater. The library was very small and inadequate."

"We chose Emeritus for my mother because her general doctor is associated with it. The neighborhood is close to our house. I go there every day, it's really nice and she's very happy there. The price is way too much. It is $4,200 a month. I checked with four or five different ones around and they're all the same price. It's a very nice place with good food. They have different activities going on. "

"I went to Florida Golden Adult Care yesterday and I like it. The home was very clean and very clean smelling. It was a spacious home. The caretakers seemed very nice. They had a large living room with a big TV for the patients, and they had an outdoor patio and a big yard in the back, which was nice. The room they showed me was just a small bedroom with two twin beds, so it was for two patients. They had a TV though. It's a very nice home."

"Providence Living at Maitland was beautiful. It's brand new, so it's immaculate. I loved the design of it. The room situations were set up with nice wide hallways and a little shadow box outside of every room to put pictures of the residents or their family and stuff. That was a good thing for helping the residents find their way around and such. They also have nice motion sensors in the room, so they make sure they're keeping a good eye on everyone. The second floor was just starting to open up, so my only hesitation would be if there were enough other residents that would be a company for my husband at this point. Also, they do not have a respite program, which I would have liked to have. Other than that, the staff was very warm and very helpful in answering any questions. It's much closer to my home, so it would be easier for me to get there and drop in at any time. They had a beautiful courtyard and the activities they did all seemed great. They were willing to let the residents do what they enjoyed. They had a good activity center, too."

"I was able to visit because it was very close to me and it's a new facility. I love it, but it was too big. It would be overwhelming for my parents. It was just a huge facility and my parents would have been too spread out and separated from each other because they would not be together."

"All the facilities we visited have been excellent, but Cornerstone was the one that was within my insurance budget. This place was built quite a few years ago so it's the oldest facility in the area. All the others were new and all but their prices were beyond my insurance and I just couldn't afford that. Also a friend of ours had used this place for their folks and they recommended it. The manager there is very dedicated. She would go in a couple of times a week on her own on hours that the staff don't know that she's coming just to see how they're doing. She was a very nice lady and she even has her mother there as a patient. Their rooms were nice and adequate. They're also well-kept. However, you have to furnish your own room for yourselves but it's the same in all the other facilities. "

"Having mom in Eastbrook Gardens is the best move I made for her. My mom is a friendly person. She comes from a strong Christian background. She always says "God Bless You" to the staff. She always hugs and kisses them and the staff handles that so well. There was no rejection. They embrace her for who she is. They are like family to her. Everyone handles my mother well. "

"My wife is staying in Inspired Living Ocoee. They have very nice staff who's always very friendly. We're able to go in and see her, and we can bring our grandchildren now, since the pandemic has let up a little bit, and that's very nice. The rooms are nice, the staff is very friendly, and they're always willing to help. She seems to be getting very good care there, and there seems to be a lot of activities for them to enjoy during the day. They get to see movies, they play games during the day, and they switch things up. They watch videos, music videos, and things like that. They get up and dance once in a while. I've seen their food, but I've never eaten there, but it seems my wife loves her food there."

"I like the location of Brookdale Lake Mary because it was back a little bit. The person I talked to was fabulous, but when I looked at the demographics, some people had a little bit more disability than my sister did. She needs to interact with people and I thought the people there were going to be a little bit harder to interact with. I think it was very clean. The rooms were nice sized, but there was no distinction between the bedroom and the living room. It was just one big room whereas I prefer ones that are sectioned off. The main reason I didn't select it was because of the demographics of the people that live there. I just want someone my sister can make friends with, interact with and do things with."

"I went to Vitality Living Lake Forest. We're probably going to go with them. It is a total community. It looks like a resort. It provides everything that my husband could want. They have restaurants, sports rooms, a physical therapy room, and very nice studios and one-bedrooms. It's about 18 minutes from the house, so it's convenient regarding that. The facility itself lays out beautifully. They have about 125 residents, so I think it provides my husband ample stimulation and people he can interact with."

"Emeritus was very nice. It was an excellent facility. The staff did a great job. She was informative, and I had no issues with her at all. The single rooms were kind of small. They didn't have a double room, which was much more to my parents liking. They didn't like the smallest of the single rooms. The dining room was very nice, well organized and detailed. It was a very good atmosphere. "

"My husband has been in Ivy Court for a couple of months now. I think it's a very good facility. It's near our home, so that makes it easy for me to go and visit him every day. "

"I would have loved to put my mom at Arden Courts but they didn't had the diversion program for medicare or medicaid. I liked it because it was clean and the people were very friendly. I toured the whole facility and the rooms were very nice. They showed me the activities that they do and they seemed to have more one-on-one activities. They showed me the courtyard that they could go out to. They have a really good reputation in the area and it's recommendable. "
