Memory Care Communities in Lakeland, FL

"We toured Brookdale Winter Haven, and the gentleman was very helpful and nice. He gave me different information, phone numbers, and things that people called to help with the financing. He was very open to the different types of rooms available and gave us an idea of what might be the best for my wife. The people there were friendly, and the facility was very nice and clean."

"My grandmother moved to Hawthorne Inn. I like that it's a small facility. It's very home-like, and it seemed to be a perfect fit for my grandma. They have scheduled activities. Every time I've gone in there, it's been very clean. Her room is big. It's not hospital-like, it's more of a home-like. The staff has been great. All of them are expensive, so it's the hard part."

"I like the cleanliness of American House Zephyrhills. I like the friendliness of the people. I like the room. I like everything about it. They have a studio and a one-bedroom, and I like the one-bedroom with a balcony. The person who gave the tour was nice. I haven't tried the food, but I know they supply three meals a day."

"Hawthorne Inn of Brandon was very nice. It was easily accessible. They offer transportation, and they bring the provider to the residents. You don't have to worry about picking up your loved one. The doctor comes there. They've got programs, activities, and field trips. The two staff members I met were fine, but I didn't meet a lot of staff as I did at the other place."

"My brother-in-law was at Twin Creeks for respite. They just really took good care of him and let us know everything that was going on, if there's a problem they call. The room was very clean, very nice, and had a good layout. The food smells good but we never tried it. There were activities, but he didn't participate. They're a little higher than a couple of places, but there are not too many places to take him."

"We have chosen Promise Point Senior Living for my mother. It's very nice, very clean, and well-staffed. Everyone there was very kind. We liked the particular setup for memory care. It was different than the other places and our mother was most comfortable there. She seemed relaxed. She was interacting with the residents when we were taking the tour. She responded to everybody around her, and that mattered to us. We sat and talked with Paula for a while before we went on the tour. We also went back, and we had lunch there. Once again, our mother seemed relaxed and comfortable, and she was responsive to people. The other places that we toured were very nice, but she did not have the same reaction. We have chosen a private room. They call it a studio, but it's just a large room with a bathroom. She can fit her bed, her TV, and her recliner. They had more activities than my mom is going to be able to keep track of. If she is bored or has nothing to do, that is not their fault; it would be hers. They have active attendance there. They participate in things. They also have many outings that mom can participate in. They have a physical therapist there. They have a room with stationary bicycles, and that would be excellent for my mom. They have a walking club. They take care of everything. I am also comparing it to a home that my mother-in-law was in, in Maryland. Every single other thing they charged her for, and this one doesn't. Things are all included. My sister and I were able to have lunch with our mother, and it was good. They had cookies, and they were excellent."

"Our tour experience with Water Edge of Lake Wales was very good. They explained the place to me very well. I saw a studio apartment with a kitchenette that was unfurnished. So, you have to furnish it. The amenities were great. They had a library, a hobby shop, and the place was very clean. It was like a luxury hotel."

"I was very impressed with The Meridian at Brandon. I thought that the place was great. I had a nice tour. I was very impressed with the facility, and I was very impressed with the way that facility was kept, and with the people who gave me the tour and told me all about it. It's bright, airy, and clean. They take good care of the building. I like the design of it, too. There are a lot of very big open, airy spaces. There's a lot of little nooks and crannies where people can sit. They have cool things like fireplaces and a place where you can walk your dog. They have good security, too. It's independent living, assisted living, and then they have a memory care unit. And I was very impressed with the way that they did that, because a lot of people go in knowing they're going to graduate from independent living to assisted living, and then actually wind up needing full 24-hour supervision. I only met three staff, and they were all delightful. The food looked fresh and well prepared. Their menu has a lot of variety and the people who live there have choices. If they don't want the main thing on the menu, they can get choices. They can also get service if they miss a meal like they come down and it's too late for breakfast like they overslept or whatever, or if they want a late lunch. The dining room accommodates people, which I thought was good."

"We toured The Crossings at Riverview. I like the location. It's in my area. I don't live too far, maybe five minutes from there. The facility was beautiful, and they had everything that my mom would actually need for her stay: the therapy and the doctors. I liked everything that came with the facility - three meals and the care that she would have. If she needed someone, she had to just push the button, and someone would come and see how she was doing. They also check on them periodically during the day, which I like, because you never know if they could even get to the button to push it. So, by checking on them during the day, they would know if something's wrong, even if they couldn't push the buttons. The staff was very professional, caring, and friendly, so they put my mom at ease, and that was really good. They gave her a blanket because it was pretty chilly there, which I thought was very nice and comforting. So, it was a good visit. It's a good structure. It looks very sturdy, and it's laid out pretty well. The only thing was they had a nice balcony on the second floor where you can look out over the water, but you can't see the water because there were so many trees, and they can't do anything about the trees because it's a protected preserve, but it was very nice."

"From our first interaction to our last this has been an eye opener to the needs and minds of seniors . Mom was diagnosed with early stage dementia and the care staff and nurse re assured us always that this process of losing their independence takes time and patience and that’s what the staff have patience. I watch them get beat down but if it was easy most families would keep their loved ones home but it’s not. They have updated rooms and it doesn’t feel like a nursing home."

"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"

"My mother will be moving into Angels Senior Living at New Tampa memory care unit. So far, so good. We have to move our own furniture in, but the room was clean and the size was good for us. The staff was nice, and they have good service. They have activities, but very simple ones. They have everything inside. They're pretty new."

"I moved into SeaCoast at Uptown Oaks. It's like an apartment. I have my own bathroom, that when I need to go, I don't have to wait in line. I have my own little kitchenette, that if I want to make coffee at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning, I can do it. If in the middle of night I'm hungry, I can open up a can of soup, a can of spaghetti, warm it up in a microwave. The room is very large. It's like a studio apartment. They said they have three meals a day. The staff is really nice, hospitable, and helpful. Every time they see you it's always a good morning. They're very cheery. They don't have an attitude. The place is immaculate, and if you need something fixed, you have housekeeping, you have the maintenance man. You just go downstairs to the receptionist, you put in a work order, and they come and fix whatever problems you've got."

"My mother is in the memory unit she is what do you call a runner I am glad the unit is locked so she cannot run away and be lost like in the past and that other places that she’s been at they take such good care of her and she loved it there I am so thankful for this place. And the staff is awesome"
