The Best Memory Care Communities in Clay County, FL

"I will move into HarborChase of Mandarin. The main reason I chose it was that it's close to home. Everybody was professional and answered all my questions. It was all very good. The food was very nourishing. It wasn't the same food everybody gets out of things. I had lobster, my brother-in-law had filet mignon, so I don't think it's probably something they give to everybody."

"My father moved to Wyndham Lakes in Jacksonville. He is there for independent living, and we like that he has his own room. The cleanliness is pretty good, and the staff has great communication. I haven't eaten there, but he said the food is okay. They have a gathering room, a little store, a piano room, and a game room. It also has a covered walking area. There are a lot of things my dad could do to get out."

"I went to Brookdale Mandarin Central. They were very nice, very good, and thorough with their touring. We appreciate it. It's very clean and very nice. Everything is in good repair. The residents seemed happy, nice, and clean. We've been to some other nursing homes before and this is pretty nice, so we liked it."

"We're planning to move Mom into Brookdale Crown Point. What I liked is that it is solely focused on memory care. It doesn't have any assisted living residents. We liked the director. We loved the fact that she knows everything about all the residents there and seems to be so involved and caring in their care. We love the grounds, the way the rooms are, the way they have these beautiful walkways and butterfly gardens and nice patio courtyard. Everything looked very clean and well taken care of. It's a very homelike community. It feels like a big family home instead of a nursing home. I loved their menu. They showed us what they have for food for the residents. I liked the fact that the residents seemed truly happy and well taken care of. The maintenance was perfect. The rooms seemed very orderly and clean. The staff seemed amazing. They seemed like they truly cared about the residents, and they took good care of them. They also know everything about them. The residents were gathered in the main room watching a show and doing karaoke. The food looked like food that would be served in a high-end restaurant. We liked the way that the facility was situated. It had nice, wide hallways, common rooms and the actual bedrooms. They all seemed clean and taken care of. The outside area was beautiful, where the residents can go and sit and enjoy the weather. It stood out from the other ones that we visited."

"It was lovely. I think the people that work there were very kind, very caring, and very hospitable. It was a very nice place, but my father is not ready. I just have all positive things to say about them. They're very kind and caring. Even the people that I met on the weekend went out of their way to help me. They spent a lot of time explaining things to me and showing me things, and I really appreciated it. I have no complaints at all. My father had trouble walking and they even were going to be able to make accommodations for him to be close to where the dining room is, so I really appreciated that. They had a calendar with things every day. I was worried if he was there, he might just stay in his room, and the staff said they always go and check on their residents and try to get them involved in things, so they don't just leave them there. This would have been the one that I would've chosen because it was so close to my home and because I really just like it."

"Brookdale Southpoint was a one floor facility, which was something that I was interested in. There was not a huge number of total beds. Their memory care unit was secure. They have a shared living suite or a room for two, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted more of a companion suite where the rooms are separated. The tour was still fine. People were very nice and I liked the place. They had an activity room, a library, and LifeStations. I met one of the women that worked in the memory care unit and I really liked her approach on how she communicates and deals with the residents."

"We're in Brookdale Southside in independent living. It also has an assisted living and a memory care wing. The staff is very accommodating and showed us the facility. In fact, we were there on Christmas Day, which was a weird time to be visiting, and they were very helpful with that. Now that we're living here, we love it. It's a very nice facility. The food is excellent. We have at least three entrees every night we can choose from, plus there's a standard menu available during the week. That changes each week, but if you don't want what's on the main menu, you can pick the standard menu. I play poker on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursday nights. I play Pinaccle on Tuesday night, and I started a Texas Hold'Em group on Friday night. I play a lot of cards, and I've got a lot of people who play with me. I've made a lot of friends. We took a tour around Jacksonville where we rode on a bus and were taken to different locations throughout the city. They have bingo, church services, and exercise programs. There's a lot to do. Our room is a two-bedroom, and it's fabulous. There's a lounge, a library, a card room, a bingo room, a salon, and arts and crafts. The common areas are well-maintained. It's not cheap, but compared to other places we looked at, it's a little bit less expensive, and we get value for our money. However, the rate is going up next year."

"I loved Starling at Nocatee Assisted Living and Memory Care. It was very clean, very well laid out, and there were lots of activities for the residents. The apartments were nice. It had walk-in showers and were very well thought out. It was relatively new and I just really enjoyed it. I liked their medication management capabilities and that they were willing to go above and beyond what was needed. I was very, very impressed. They were all extremely friendly. Everybody was smiling. They have an exercise room and a nail/beauty salon. Everything was in excellent condition, very aesthetic, and very well-maintained."

"My mom will move into Grand Living at Tamaya. It's warm. It's beautiful. They have every amenity. We knew it would be a place where my mom, at her age, would be able to feel comfortable and explore all kinds of social activities. They were fantastic. It was Tyler and Ashton. Both of them were nice, helped us out, and spent lots of time with us. My sister brought my mother back there yesterday. They were very kind to her. They were great. The facility was extraordinary, very open, and light. It's a place I would want to go to."

"My grandmother will be moving in. It was a very nice facility and it was perfect. It was very clean and very elegant. There were a lot of activities that they had for the residents, which was great. The staff who assisted me was very thoughtful, caring, considerate, and thorough, and she answered all of my questions. They had a movie theater, arts and crafts, a game room, a physical therapy room, a hair salon, and a pool with a treadmill underneath the water. They had common areas, a dining area, and a private dining area where if you had a small group of people, you could have a nice little private dining experience. They had sort of an ice cream parlor section in the dining room, which was nice."

"It has a wonderful atmosphere, a lot of activities, very caring staff, and my mom got excellent care there. She was there on respite care in their assisted living for about 45 days. The facility is beautiful and in a convenient location. The staff was excellent, everybody's very helpful, and we had no problems with them. The food was also good. They had music every week and they had a lot of games that they played. My mom didn't participate, but they had them available."

"My mom moved into Anthem Lakes. I like the service. The staff is very friendly. There's a nurse there 24 hours a day. It's just a great facility. I'm very pleased with it. The food is excellent. They have a well-balanced, three-course meal served there. They have activities going all day, every day. They have bingo, crafts, trivia, football game parties, a little happy hour on Fridays, and social events. They have events where they bus the residents twice a week off campus to the store or to physician appointments."

"This facility is by far the most beautiful community I’ve ever seen! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The logo is true!! Looks like home, Feels like family. Great activity director. Housekeeping is amazing. The food is delicious and always so presentable. Couldn’t ask for a better place for mom & dad !"
