Memory Care Communities in Fernandina Beach, FL

"I visited, but it didn't have the level of care my sister needed. They were good, though, and they had nice staff. They're also close to my house. I would probably recommend it because they take all kinds of insurance, and for a lot of people, that's really attractive."

"The Lakeside at Amelia Island is beautiful. My mom and I did a tour of their independent living and she loved it. I can praise them all day. They are very good, clean, and have a wonderful counselor to make sure you're taken care of. They want people to be happy there. It's bright and clean, cheerful, and very nice. They have a swimming pool and a garden where you can go out and sit."

"Savannah Grand of Amelia Island was a good fit for my mother. She has been there for three days. They have nice little outside patio areas, and the rooms are about standard. It's clean, and they have plenty of activities. The people are in the same status as her, so I thought it would work out fine. "

"I moved to Osprey Village in 2004. I had known about the community since they broke ground. We had been in Florida off and on since the 1970s- living on the Plantation. When we were trying to make this decision, we knew that we needed golf options. I wanted Amelia Island. We looked around Ponte Vedra. But nothing compared to Osprey. It is such a small community that enables you to know everybody. When we came, my husband played golf. I honestly do everything, it is hard to remember. I like bridge and involved with a bridge club that dates back 30 years on the Plantation. I also enjoy the book club. I enjoy everything and have even served on the resident advisory committee. My advice for those looking for retirement communities is that if you find a community you like, go while you are still a couple. It is important to have the built in community. There is also a great community for those who are single. As a fun fact, I was one of the first people in the villas. I moved in that morning. I am still in my original villa. "

"The Canopy at Duval Station was a beautiful and very well-kept facility. It was smaller than the other place, which was a plus in my mind. The reason I did not go with them was because they were not all-inclusive in their pricing. The other thing was they only had upstairs rooms available, and I did not want my uncle to have to deal with an elevator or anything like that. However, the place itself was very nice. I had no bad thing to say about that at all. It's a really lovely setting. And the staff was very open. She answered any questions I had. She gave me a folder thing when I came in. They had printouts of the different apartments. She was very nice and very accommodating."

"From what I saw, Her Heart Gardens looked pretty decent. The community was nice. The rooms were nice. They had shared rooms, and then, of course, you could have your own room. They're a good-sized bedroom for at least two people or one person. The only thing I really didn't care for was the fact that the people would line up to get their medications like they do when they're in some kind of mental rehab place. I think that it's better if they go room by room to provide medications instead of having the patients come to them. The upkeep of the rooms was nice. No complaints there. They looked decent and clean, and smelled clean. The dining area was nice. It was a big old lunch room with a little bit of flowers and stuff like that on the tables. The people who toured me were very good, and they were upper management people. They answered all my questions."

"Worth every penny. Saw every elderly person there treated very well and great one on one attention and care. "

"We went to Riverwood Nursing and Rehab and that was exactly what my mother would want. They have activities and things to do. Just walking through the place, they have plenty of rooms, plenty of aides, and they have entertainment for the residents, so they're not just sitting in their rooms all day. The rooms were double rooms and there is a curtain separating the bed, so you don't have to see everything your roommate was doing. They have showers that they can just wheel you in with a shower chair. There are some private rooms. The staff was very nice and understanding and they know it's hard when you have to do this with a parent or with anybody. They have bingo, they have a beauty shop, they have physical and occupational therapy, and they have groups that come in and sing to them."

"I like San Jose Gardens Alzheimer's Special Care Center because it's small, and sometimes less is best when it comes to caring. It's also clean, nice, has very polite people, and it's small enough that you should be able to know everybody. Right now, they are pretty limited to what you can do. They're trying to protect the residents from the virus, which is another positive thing, because they don't automatically just let you do whatever you want to do. We are actually looking to place my mom in this community, only because they are a complete memory care facility. It might be a better fit because that's what they do, and their care is more focused."

"My father has been in Mi Casa Adult Living Facility for a little bit now. It's been great. They're very caring. They take good care of him. He is happy there. The staff are great. They're excellent. My father's room is fine. It's not the Hilton but he has everything he needs there. He enjoys the food, too. It provides the services that we were looking for. The reason why we chose this place was because they speak Spanish, which is our native language. They also offer Hispanic food. It is like he is in our home, so that's very important to us. They keep it very clean. It is a small home. They only have 12 people living there. It is a very small community. We like that, too. They don't get lost or anything like that. It's like a new house with a lot of rooms. If they're looking for that Hispanic feel and they speak Spanish and that's important for them, this would be a good place. They offer different activities, too."

"I toured Rosecastle at Deerwood. It was a newer facility, and the rooms were quite big and bright. There were single rooms and they looked nice. The price was very competitive. The staff was very informative, professional, and helpful. It has a lot of activities there. The food menu was quite nice, and the facility looked very clean and well-kept."

"I went to Silver Treasures at Lane. The appearance outside was very lovely and clean. It was locked and so I rang the bell, and then the administrator came to the door and let me in. She was very polite, very kind, and very nice. The place was wide open, spacious looking, clean, and decorated beautifully. She took me to see some of the rooms, and they were lovely, too. Everybody had it uniquely decorated as if they were in their own home. Everybody had a different vibe or different feel, it was lovely. Some people were sitting at the table talking, and some people were walking around. I saw a therapist coming to give therapy to a patient. The administrator was so forthcoming. She had a book with information, and she explained stuff to me. The people that were there were lovely. They talked to me, and they said, 'I'll get my hair done and my niece is coming to do my hair.' They're very friendly people. I just thought it would be a very pleasant place for my brother. We just couldn't afford it, and that's it. The staff seemed to care about the people there. The place was calm, but it was bustling a little bit with people doing different things and stuff. It had a clean environment. The parking lot was a good size, and you can pass easily, which is important, too. It is secure. The door was locked, and the people were safe there. I just like it very much. It was very impressive.
