Memory Care Communities in Lady Lake, FL

"I will be moving into Sumter Senior Living. I like the facility, plus the fact that it's close to where I live. I know the area, and it's near my friends. I've seen it a number of times now. They worked very well with me and accomplished what I wanted to do. I ate there a couple of times. I liked the fact that they have the open menu. One thing I like there is if I have a doctor's appointment, I don't have to go by their car or by their scheduled tours. They'll send a special car over for me. They have a salon, a gym, and a pool."

"We went to The Harrison of Wildwood and toured their memory care for my cousin's husband. It was very nice, very clean, and very welcoming. The people that greeted us were also very welcoming. It's a lovely place. They had just moved down. Somebody else had it as a memory care place before, and The Harrison has just moved into that location. The sales consultant was wonderful. She followed through with us and answered every question. She was very compassionate and listened to what my cousin's feelings were. The dining area looks good. We were in a memory care place, so the food was probably a little simpler than it would be in the other areas. They also don't have choices. They just put the food in front of the residents because it's memory care. Everything was neat, clean and tidy. The people serving them were also very friendly and happy. They're very helpful with the residents if they need to be. They were the most expensive. They were about $1,000 more than every other place we have visited."

"My brother is in Regency Park Assisted Living & Memory Care. It's one of the better places that we found that was affordable for him, and it fit his budget. I see improvement with him, getting him on the proper medication to calm him down. It's clean. It's a little far away from me, but at this time, that's what we can afford. It's a shared room, but there's nobody in it with him. They have stuff, but his short-term memory doesn't allow him to retain anything. He can play tic-tac-toe. We've got him started on word search books right now, trying to just get him to focus on that. He's a big eater, and sometimes he acts like he doesn't get enough food to eat, but I told him, if he's still hungry, he needs to ask them if he can have more. They told me that if he asked, they would give him more, but he has to ask for it."

"Eustis Senior Care has what my friend needs. They have doctors and nurses that come in. Plus, the people are very friendly and very understanding. They allow him to have some personal stuff that he brought from the house, so my friend doesn't feel disconnected from his family. I like the environment. He also likes it, too. It was very nice. They have a list of activities which includes bingo, music, dancing, singing, and exercises. He didn't have enough money to be there, but they said that they were going to work with him."

"CERTUS Premier Memory Care Living was amazing. The only reason we didn't pick it was because it was super expensive. We just couldn't afford it. But it was an amazing place. If money was not an issue, my mom would be there. The facility was absolutely beautiful. It was built just for memory care. The floors looked like tile, but they were actually like cushioned carpet or low-pile carpet. So if somebody fell, it wouldn't be super hard, and there would be a lower chance of breaking bones. It looked like a fairly new facility. It felt like you were actually in this beautiful courtyard while you were inside. They had cooking stations where they did cooking demonstrations. They had an exercise room. When I went, everybody was doing chair yoga. They had a beautiful dining area that looked like a real restaurant. Everything was beautiful there. The staff members seemed to be interacting well with the residents. They're very caring. All the residents looked really happy. I didn't see anybody looking alone and sad."

"I choose Chambrel at Pinecastle for my mom because it is more of an apartment rather than a nursing home and I like how the apartment looks. They keep it clean and new looking and the environment is very nice. The food is good. The rooms are nice and spacious enough. The staff is helpful. They have lots of activities available. My mom likes it there and she's satisfied with the care that they are giving her. I guess they can improve on giving more personal care. I would recommend them to others. "

"My mom is now in Brookdale Paddock Hills, they're fine and our experience is good. They seem clean, the grounds are a little bit unkept in some places but the building seems clean. The staff is very friendly and they're very helpful. The director, in particular, has been extremely helpful and also the nursing staff, in getting her in there, and settling all the documents that she needs to have filled out. They helped with that. I haven't tried the food, but she has. The vegetables are a little bit overcooked, but other than that, she seems to think that the food is okay. I saw some people playing bingo. She's in quarantine right now, so she hasn't been able to participate too much in any of the activities. The setup of her room is fine, there were some insect infestations that I spoke to them about, and they had somebody come in and spray. The director's great, the nursing staff was great, we had interaction with a cleaning lady and she was very nice and helpful."

"We toured Brookdale Canopy Oaks. They were very welcoming when we came in. They were celebrating Mardi Gras. The front person was very pleasant. The place was nice and clean. They had several snacks that they offered. They seemed to have a lot of activities for the residents. The woman whom I initially met, Samantha was her name, welcomed me and asked what our needs were. She also gave me some information on dementia, and so I felt she was very informative on my mother's condition. She also answered all my questions that I threw at her. She was excellent. They offered us to come back and have lunch with my mother. The common areas were very nice and very good. The place was very well kept."

"Dining room is really pretty. Front desk very polite and funny."

"Hunt Trace Senior Living was very nice. It's 5 to 10 minutes from my area. The facilities were great. The manager there was great. Everything was great, but the asking price was too much. The staff was excellent. The apartments that they've shown were small, but they were OK. They showed us all the amenities, the common areas, and things like that. It was all very good, but their minimum was like $4,400 a month, and that's not in our ballpark."

"My mom's care is very good at Élan Spanish Springs. The director does a very nice job. The nurses seem to be very professional. The place is very clean, upscale and nice. Everything seems to be 5-star. They provide laundry service, dining, music, bingo, and arts and crafts."

"I chose Lady Lake Senior Living for my dad because it was close to the house for me to go back and forth. The people were nice and friendly. They even helped me get furniture for the room. The cost is reasonable. He got a private room, no roommates or anything. It was a nice, big, and spacious bathroom. They do some arts and crafts, some sing-alongs, and stuff like that. They do have a courtyard for the patients to go out and it's all enclosed but they still get their fresh air, and they have an activity director there."

"I have been to the home multiple times and it always makes me feel so good to see my family member happy and being cared for. It’s not like those big places with hundreds of people and they’re treated like a room number instead of a person. The home is clean and comfortable. There’s plenty of light and space for everyone to feel welcome. The staff are nice and really connect with the patients. And, the food is actually homecooked and really good- surprisingly good. The owner happened to be here too and was really nice. He had one of his kids with him also which was so sweet. Another patient’s family members were visiting as well- the place just has a good feeling overall. Finding a home for a loved one is really hard, but I feel really good about my grandma’s situation now. "
