Memory Care Communities in Ocala, FL

"My parents moved to Highpoint at Stonecrest. It's very nice, but just like any place, there are certain things that aren't great, but it's still a good facility. They need more organization over issues and taking care of different things as they happen, so that everybody's on the same page with care and everything. The meals are very good. They have an everyday menu with 10 different items on it, and then each day they have two or three items that are specials. So, there are plenty of choices. The rooms are clean and well taken care of. They have a lot of different activities like live entertainment, bingo, social events, trips to different places, and movies."

"My husband will move into A Banyan Residence - The Villages. It's fantastic. It's beautiful. This place has lots of activities and things for him to do. The staff who gave the tour was excellent. Their dining program and dining area were excellent. They have an ice cream shop. People are always on staff. The rooms are nice and clean, and very well kept."

"I've toured Serenades at The Villages. It's very nice, but very expensive though. It's a very nice place. It's very good. The staff I've interacted with (and there hasn't been that much) seemed very, very nice. They have private rooms, which is just a room with a little seating area and a bath. Then they have a room for two people, and they're kind of divided by a wall. They are a little bit cheaper, but not by much. Everything looked nice, and the place smelled nice. They have a nice courtyard. They have it all done by neighborhoods. They would have like seven or eight people in one neighborhood, and they have a name for it. They have a place for them to eat there. It is done really nice, actually. I like the way they have everything done."

"Always There is a home setting that is full of love. Along with exceptionally caring staff consistent care residents thrive. During the past difficult year with Covid, I cannot express how much Always There has more than gone the extra mile with making my brother and us a part of their family. The residents truly care about each other and enjoy family meals and fun times together daily. My brother has blossomed under their loving care. When we initially brought him-he was so frustrated and we just didn't know what to do. They assured us they would be able to help him. It has been like a miracle to us. My Brother now-is again happy and loving like he truly is. Always There is truly committed to doing everything possible to surround every person living there with whatever they need to give them the best life possible. They have not only taken care of my brother but they have Blessed my husband and I in the process. I recommend this facility above any of the many facilities we have interviewed and toured. Excellent care, clean facilities, and a fun, loving staff are awaiting anyone that comes home to Always There."

"Went on a bus tour of several facilities around The Villages while I was in town and was asked to rate the facilities. I did my homework after and this facility was the second best. Convenient location, one problem that I did find it that it appears that they have a history of deficiencies during state inspections."

"Our tour at Village Veranda at Lady Lake was good. The people seemed to be very nice. The marketing girl showed us the rooms and the dining hall. Everything was very clean and very well-kept. It was a very, very nice tour. We enjoyed the facility. They showed us the assisted living portion. The staff was very friendly, very informative, very knowledgeable, and very helpful."

"The place in Hernando was beautiful, but you're stuck there. Your whole life is in the building. I liked that they had three different restaurants you can choose from and at different times. The building itself was beautiful. The apartment was very nice, but you're in the middle of nowhere. The staff was wonderful. The food was very good."

"Superior Residences of Lecanto was a good place. They have excellent people, and the rooms were excellent. They provide activities and they have a gorgeous courtyard. I would give them a five out of five for cleanliness and for what they can offer the residents. The staff member was friendly and good with the residents, and they offered a better price than other places. It's an excellent facility."

"We went on a short tour of Superior Residences of Cala Hills. It seemed to be adequate. The rooms were a little smaller. We weren't quite as impressed with the layout and the size of the room there. They showed us a studio. We saw their dining room and it looked adequate. At the time we were there, there wasn't anything going on. The staff were very good."

"It was very nice. I liked their whirlpool tub that the residents could use. That was really nice. They won awards for their signature sauces and spices and I think that's very neat with diet being so important."

"We really liked Windsor of Ocala, but our dad is really not ready yet. All of their residents seem very happy. The administration was very helpful, and there was a lot of interaction with the directors and the residents. We were in the dining hall as we had lunch there, and we saw a gentleman that they brought in that was playing on the keyboard right after lunch; everybody just loved it. We saw that they are signing for a social in the evening. The food was excellent; we talked to the dietitian, and they have special foods depending on what the residents need. "

"My Mother, Colleen, was for the last 6 months of her life. The staff could not have been more compassionate, dedicated and informative. The director, who kept my sister informed was not only professional but understanding of our extenuating circumstances. To everyone there, staff, housekeeping, cooks and the 11th hour, Thank you!"

"My aunt has moved into Bridgewater Park. It's very clean and very comprehensive in their approach to caring for the memory care residents. They have a Montessori approach to caring, and it's more holistic. That was what really made me interested, and the price was within our budget. The staff were all very caring and conscientious. I haven't tried the food, but it looks and smells OK. All of the residents seem to be engaged in activities throughout the day. The facility is very nice, very brand new, very modern, and very clean. They do have gyms and large banquet rooms where you can have private parties. There's a courtyard with a pond, beautiful outdoor areas, there was a gym, and a very nice hair and nail salon on site."

"My dad moved into Hampton Manor Belleview. The people I've worked with are very caring. As far as I know they have a wonderful activities coordinator named Linda. I saw my father eat a meal and he loves it."
