Memory Care Communities in Jacksonville Beach, FL

"I thought it was a very nice place. The staff was very helpful, polite, informative and very accommodating. The food was good. The whole facility's lay out was beautifully done. The rooms were beautiful. My dad loved it and there's nothing that I did not like about it. "

"My mom has moved into Brookdale Southside. The move-in experience is good. It was larger in size and more of a community feel, and it was very reasonably priced. The staff members are very nice. They have two or three specials for lunch and dinner along with a standard menu. The rooms are nice and large, and the facility is good. I don't really have any negative things to say about the facility. They have bingo, water aerobics, jazz aerobics, bridge, and movies. The food is average. Unfortunately, because of COVID and the fact that people are making more money sitting at home, they're understaffed because of those challenges in the food department. The people that are there are working very hard because they're understaffed."

"Brookdale Southpoint was a little more up-to-date than the other place we visited. It's a newer facility. "

"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."

"I toured Brookdale Crown Point, and everything was nice. It's a nice facility. The staff looked really happy, and they looked very on purpose. Nobody was trudging along, if you will like they were bored at their job. The place is very clean and as far as appearances, it looked very good. The staff was very nice, very understanding, very caring, and very astute. I have not tried the food, but it smelled good. When I walked in there, they were having lunch. It was an older building. Every other building I've toured has been brand new, but on the other end, it was very well maintained."

"Brookdale Mandarin Central is totally Alzheimer’s. That was certainly the best place, I was most impressed. Wonderful programs that was all geared towards Alzheimer’s, and if I would have chosen anywhere for my parents to go, that would have been where I would have them go. It was just very well-cared for, and the residents were very well-taken care of. It’s a locked facility and everything was very clean, they had all kinds of activities, and there was always someone talking with them and checking on the people who were wondering. It was very uplifting, very bright, and I was most impressed with that. "

"Wyndham Lakes is a very open campus-like facility. There's a lot of energy among the residents. My mother was instantly welcomed and invited to join in several activities. It just seemed like a friendly, comfortable community-based residence. It was an independent living plus. The staff during the tour was very friendly, would leave us to talk and kind of just have a relaxing experience. He was very good. The facility was kind of worn, but the rooms were very spacious with a detached screened patio. Out of the other facilities that I looked at, they seemed to have the most spacious, inviting room size for what we were looking for. They have gardening and small groups of people to join in and have a conversation with. People were up and about and involved in activities. They had a nice library and a nice, open dining area. They're my #1 choice."

"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."

"So far we're really pleased with Brookdale Orange Park, it has a homey atmosphere and my mom is doing extremely well there. The staff is extremely professional and very trustworthy with my mother. We didn't have a good experience with the rehab facility she was in previously, but here, I know my mom is being cared for properly. She has a 1-bedroom apartment but it doesn't have a kitchen. I would say it's a studio but it's bigger and it's private. They only either have a shared room or a private room. They have church there and they do multiple denominations. They also do lots of social activities like ice cream socials, birthday celebrations and things like that, they also have guests speakers and exercise activities. There's a library and also a salon."

"I went to Palagio Senior Living and paid a reservation fee. We haven't met any of the residents because they're mostly in quarantine. The activities are limited, so we didn't see a lot of residents, but the staff is excellent, they're all very helpful, and you ask them a question, it will be answered right then. It's a super clean place; it's spotless. Even in the hallways, there's no dust along the borders. It's immaculate. It's a new place, but it is very nice and upscale. We liked it immediately, the first impression when we walked in. It looked very nice. They described all activities. We had a sit down with a salesperson. They described them, and we toured all the activity bases, the restaurants, and their store. They have a beauty salon and a barbershop, all that kind of stuff. It's very, very all-inclusive. This is a huge place. It's a very large place and they have green spaces. It's well taken care of and well planned. Everything is just great. Everything is just well cared for in that facility. Although they showed us the menu, we didn't have an opportunity to taste the quality of the food because they're in lockdown."

"My tour at Seagrass Village of Fleming Island was a pleasant experience. I was quite impressed with their facility. The person with whom I was touring with did a great job. If I would have to go to their independent, I'd prefer to stay in my home and live independently. The rooms seemed to have too little space. I only viewed the 1-bedroom. I come and go and do so much more than being restricted to that kind of facility. It was a nice facility, it just didn't fit my needs at the time. We looked in on their exercise facility, which again for me was quite insufficient. I go to a large fitness center and use a lot of equipment; they had very little equipment."

"My mother has moved into Diamond Assisted Living and Memory Care. There are no odors in the hallway. Everything is kept clean. Everybody is very nice and very friendly. The director went out of her way to help us during this process in getting my mom there. She was very accommodating. I only fed my mother one meal there, and it looked good. They need to replace the carpets in the welcoming area though. There are some stains on the flooring. They do a lot of activities there."

"I had a very good tour at Canterfield of Clay County. The tour guide was very helpful and very nice. The rooms were very adequate. The place seemed to be in very good condition. It seemed like everyone was well-adjusted. They were having social interactions. I was not able to try the food, but I did ask how this tour guide liked it and she said she did."
