The Best Memory Care Communities in Hernando County, FL

"My dad moved into The Cottages of Port Richey last week. It is very nice, clean, and kept up. The staff is very nice and very helpful. They offer a wide variety of activities and have a whole calendar of events and things to do. They have a nice dining room, private rooms, and semi-private rooms. My dad has a private room. The food looked very good and appetizing, but we haven't tried it. The value for the money is average. It is pretty much the same as the rest of the communities, but they do try to work with you. They also have discounts for veterans."

"I stayed in Oakview Terrace Assisted Living & Memory Care. Patty was wonderful. She manned the phones. She was great. She knew that I had a dog, so she would give my dog treats all the time. That's wonderful. Everybody likes that. They had much better activities; they had bingo. It was a nicer place, much better. The food is not enough, a very small amount, it took them forever to come out and feed you. You sit around there for hours on end waiting for the food to come out."

"My dad is here. It is very good. I like the staff members very much. They are very dedicated. They went above and beyond to help us with my dad. He had a little tough time going there because of his dementia, but they were very helpful. His accommodation is pretty good, too. They keep it clean. Because of the coronavirus, I was only allowed to go in the day I moved him in, but from what I have seen, they keep it very clean. The place is very comfortable. I couldn't go and see everything, but so far based on what my dad needs and the cleanliness, everything has been very good. The day he moved in all the precautions were taken; they were pretty good about it. I was impressed about how all the employees were wearing masks."

"I think this facility is a model example of what an assisted living facility should be. The facilities are clean and sectioned off into separate quarters for those who are able to function by themselves and for those who need around the clock care. The staff is incredible. They know their residents and cater to their needs. They are always friendly and very helpful to those visiting as well. Edwinola's facilities are standard for an assisted living facility. They have a nice-sized dining room, a large sitting room with a piano and chairs, a salon, and game room. Residents also get to enjoy the park outside of the Edwinola and its huge wraparound porch, complete with rocking chairs because assistants schedule outside time.I worked mostly with the activities director (who is no longer there), and I felt the business had its residents' happiness in mind. It offered many activities, and the residents were very grateful for them. I watched residents enjoy playing the Wii, board games, sing-a-longs, and art projects. "

"I went to Brookdale New Port Richey. The staff is very nice and they keep the residents very busy, but it was too big and spread out, I think my parents would get lost. The staff was wonderful, they knew all the residents as well as the other staff members. The building did not appear to be in good shape as the others. They do exercises, there's quite a few activities, plus it was more expensive, more upfront fees, a lot more residents, and it didn't appear to have as many staff. They had a podiatrist there the day I was there, they had a beautician that comes in, different people come in different days. They were delivering meals at that time because of COVID, things appeared to be clean, but the layout was confusing."

"Sunflower Springs at Trinity was really nice. It was beautiful. I'd move in there myself. It was a smaller facility, but the decorations were topnotch. Everything was more up-to-date. Furnishings were all new and trendy. It was almost like being in a hotel, but it seemed a little too new and too cold. It didn't seem homey. The room I looked at seemed to be very isolated from the other rooms. There was nobody across the hall. We only met Cody, and he seemed to be very thorough and knowledgeable. The dining room had a restaurant setup. The bedrooms were of good size."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Angels senior Living at the Lodges. The staff is truly loving, caring and dedicated. They go above and beyond to make their residents feel valued and cared for. From the moment we first walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The facilty is always clean and inviting and the environment truly feels like home. The staff is incredibly helpful, not only with the residents but also with family members. They're always available to answer questions or provide updates , which gives me so much peace of mind. I'm especially grateful for how they keep me informed about my Dad and Step Mom's care and daily activities. Knowing they're in such caring, compassionate hands means everything to me. I wouldn't trust my loved ones anywhere else. Angles Senior Living of Idlewild is exactly what the name says....... full of angels. Highly recommend!"

"Angels Senior Living at The Reserves Of Idlewild was a newer facility. I like the room for my wife. They were repainting everything. I like the lady who took me on a tour there, and it looked like they had everything that we needed. They even set us up with a preferred rehab specialist there, so it was pretty amazing. They had a rehab center. They had three meals a day. They had different levels of care. They had a bus to take people around, a beauty shop, entertainment, and activities. It was a modern facility."

"Superior Residences of Lecanto was very nice and large, but all they had were double rooms for my mother-in-law, which was a little bit too expensive. The double rooms had a wall between them, which made the rooms very small. Everything was very clean. Everyone was very friendly, and the clients all seemed very happy. They were very nice, but they didn't have any single room that was reasonably priced for her."

"My mom will move into American House Zephyrhills next week. It seemed to be really well-run, it was kept up really well, and it was in close proximity to our home. The staff was really helpful. The facility was very clean, and it had a very nice, homey feel. My dad saw her room; I haven't seen it. Because of COVID restrictions, we haven't been able to go in and out, but it seemed to be very nice. They were redoing the floor, because most of them are moving, too. They are doing things like installing vinyl flooring now as opposed to carpeting, because it's too hard to keep the carpets clean."

"Outstanding Senior Living Care at Legacy at Highwoods Preserve! From the moment we relocated my mother-in-law to Legacy at Highwoods Preserve in January 2025, we experienced an immediate and undeniable difference in the quality of care, attention, and respect she received. After facing subpar treatment and radical bias at a nearby senior living facility, we needed a place where she would be truly valued—and Legacy has exceeded every expectation. The Legacy staff genuinely "gives-a-care" in every aspect of assisted living. Their technical expertise is unmatched—whether in medical care, social engagement, housekeeping, medication management, personal hygiene, or financial guidance. Every interaction reflects their deep commitment to their residents. One of the most impressive aspects of Legacy is their transparency and responsiveness. When I bring up a concern or suggestion, it is immediately addressed with professionalism and urgency. They tell it like it is, ensuring that families are informed and confident in their loved one’s care. While Legacy’s pricing is competitively reasonable, their performance is light-years ahead of any other facility in the area. The level of respect, attentiveness, and quality of life they provide is truly 1000% better than what we previously experienced. A heartfelt salute and sincere gratitude to each of the areas of expertise--nursing, med techs, housekeeping, dietary, food, concierge, etc ( Toni, Theresa, Debbie, Shasheena, MaryJane, Cindy, Josh and Joe)—your dedication and professionalism set a gold standard in senior care. Sincere thanks for your exemplary works. You are making a positive difference in the lives of your residents at Legacy. To those seeking assisted living services -- If you are searching for the best senior living provider in Wesley Chapel, look no further than Legacy at Highwoods Preserve. They are, without a doubt, the premier choice for exceptional senior living! Highly Recommended! John S Shackelford"

" Very nice place it's extremely clean I never see a facility that clean like this one, the owner Very polite good food they have a garden in the back everyone is so happy here "

"It was very beautiful and inviting. The rooms were nice, and the people were very helpful and welcoming. It’s very clean, the people were very nice, and the clients were happy. They had an area to watch movies and kitchen areas. The outside was kept nice with tons of activities and a barber shop. The staff was very pleasant. "

"We are choosing them for my dad because it is very family-oriented. I could tell that the residents are very happy there. When you walk into the foyer, it's very welcoming, very bright, and very clean. The staff is very attentive and welcoming. They have several activities throughout the month. The residents looked pleasantly involved with the activities. One of the things that stood out to me when I toured the place was that there's a specific day for families to come and visit, and I appreciate that. For Grandparents' Day, they had the place full of grandkids and I thought that was cool. The place was very clean and very aesthetically pleasing. As I was walking out, some of the residents voluntarily came up to me and told me that my dad will be very happy there, so that's when I knew because that made a big difference."
