Memory Care Communities in Lake Placid, FL

"The Manor at Lake Jackson was a very beautiful place but was totally locked down. It's for people who are really mentally incapacitated. They had activities for the residents and were doing bingo in one room. They also had gardening and all sorts of group activities. They're inappropriate for my situation, but it's a wonderful place. They had nice rooms, and it was well designed, clean, and had everything you need. It's terrific."

"My husband is here and doing very well there. It's wonderful because he is getting a lot of therapy, and there are a lot of activities. It is a great, clean place. My husband's room is very good, nice, and neat. The nurses and the help are very friendly. The staff is very caring. The food is great, too."

"We went to Southern Life Style. They had lots of activities going on. They had an activities director. It was very bright, light, and airy. It had a nice more open atmosphere. The staff seemed very nice. However, the rooms did not have kitchenette, and they did not have laundry facilities available for the residents. They do the laundry for them. They had a lot of musical programs. They play games. I thought they had shopping trips twice a month. The security was exceptional. However, I thought it was restricted for assisted living. "

"My wife and I stopped down at Balmoral Assisted Living for a tour. Everybody had their masks on, which I was glad to see, and then the lady took us around. They only had one room where she could show us at the time, but that gave us a good idea of what was going on. She showed us through the courtyards where they had an activities director out there directing activities. The residents seemed happy and upbeat. Then we saw the recreation room and the dining room. Normally, they have restaurant-style seating in their big dining room, but with the COVID going on, they're serving all of their resident's meals in their rooms right now, and that made me feel very good too, because that means they were looking out for their residents. The place also smelled clean. I didn't see anything that turned me off about the whole place. She gave me a brochure, then a folder with some information in it, some prices, and a calendar of their monthly activities. On our way out, there were a couple of old gentlemen, an old lady, and a woman sitting there. We just stopped and talked to them a little bit and they seemed very happy with all of this. The people I met during the visit were just fantastic. The activities person was very nice and they were all very pleasant. The cleanliness impressed me as well. I've been into a nursing home before where the odor wasn't quite what it should be when you walked in, and this wasn't like that. This was nice and they were even decorating for fall. I was very impressed with what Balmoral Assisted Living showed me."

"Very clean and friendly staff. Such a positive environment to be in. Residents are treated with respect and love. "

"My mother had been in another regular assisted living facility in Highlands County, however, due to her dementia, it was time for a secure unit. I can tell you I visited every facility in Highlands County with a memory unit and Crown Pointe was exceptional! My mother is very happy and I am happy with the individualized care she receives. They check her every hour throughout the day and are right there if she should need anything. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a great place for their parents. They have a regular assisted living side and a memory unit. "
