Communities in Saint Augustine, FL

"What we liked was the cleanliness, the newness of the community, and all the things that they had to offer. They have a really neat sky bar. They have a courtyard area where they have people come and play music. They have barbecues for special holidays like the 4th of July. We were impressed with it. They had a lot of different areas inside where you can play games, play pool, or checkers. They have something different on each level, which is nice. They showed us some of the crafts there, and then they also had activities planned for the residents."

"HarborChase of Mandarin was clean, light, airy, and spacious. They had lots of activities and amenities. The salesperson was very patient, very understanding, and answered a lot of our questions. The apartments were clean, also airy, and had lots of natural light. The kitchens were a little large. They do Bible studies, they had a book club, a men's club, a gym and workout area, a movie theater, a lounge bar, a billiard room, outdoor activities, an outdoor kitchen, two outdoor seating areas, and gardens."

"I'll be moving into Camellia on the 30th of November. Right now, it's independent living on one wing and on the other wing, it's assisted living. They're just waiting for their license which will be coming in another month. This place was my choice because, honestly, they don't have as many sick people. A couple of places I went to looked like nursing homes and I couldn't deal with that. This facility was beautiful and well-kept. It was like walking into a resort. I like that everything has been in one building. They have a beautiful dining room. They have a bistro. They have a lovely library. They have a movie theater. If I want to get my hair done, it's also there. Everything is in one building and that's very nice. They also have transportation to doctors which I need desperately. I will have a one-bedroom apartment all by myself. Everything is included in the price. I don't have to pay for anything else. Regarding staff, I didn't see too many but they were younger than the ones I saw before. They have more enthusiasm about things and were very active, so that's what I like too. Food was excellent. It was very good. "

"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. "

"Vintage Care in Palatka, FL is consistently a wonderful assisted living facility, as witnessed by my family over the last seven years. Each time my wife, our daughter, and myself visit, our (now 100 year old) surrogate mother Mrs. Mary B., Vintage Care makes our visits most pleasurable. Recently, at New Year's 2022/2023 week, we enjoyed and appreciated the delicious meal Chef David Williams and his very nice kitchen staff prepared and presented to our mom Mary, Marilyn, Teresa, Marge, and my family. Such friendly and polite staff, which definitely includes Donna welcoming us at the front desk and taking the attached photo. I can say that Vintage Care is a clean well kept facility that is dressed in holiday spirit year after year. It's staff, from the health care workers to the maintenance man who jokes with Mary, always have smiles. Our visits with Mary are consistently happy and heart warming, and for that we are grateful. Sincerely, the Marty E. family"

"The Cove at Marsh Landing was very clean. They just renovated it. It's nice, new, open, and fresh. It's a very friendly facility."

"I liked Wyndham Lakes a lot. The community was very nice. The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about what they could offer us. It was a very good visit."

"I visited and it has an amazing look and feel to it. The staff were very nice and when I ate the Fresh Mozzarella Caprese it was delicious. The apartments are spacious and the lake is beautiful to walk around. Great facilities. "

"We appreciated the diversity of Brookdale Crown Point's staff and their willingness to talk and sit with us. We liked the very home-like quality of the facility, the fact that they were able to show us the types of rooms that we were looking for, which were private rooms. They would be able to accommodate our particular needs, and we would be able to come and visit my mother when we wanted. We liked that the it was very up to date and that it was small. Overall, we thought it was an excellent choice."

"I never anticipated having to move my mother into an assisted living facility. The decision came upon us rather quickly during a hospital stay. I certainly did my homework visiting various facilities close to my home. I decided on Seagrass Village Fleming Island after visiting multiple times. The staff is simply outstanding from the caregivers, dining room staff, front desk clerks, activities director, etc. Every staff member recognizes you with a hello, an eagerness to help, and a display of genuine compassion for the residents. Administration is involved, visible, highly approachable, and it reflects in the quality of this community. It is a great feeling to get a little feed back about mom from the staff each time I go to the facility, it is reassuring she is getting the interaction and supervision she needs. Seagrass Village is maintained beautifully, the food is excellent, and the activities are abundant. The transition of moving my parent from her home was certainly one of the most heartbreaking events of my life. I can honestly say it was the best decision and I can now rest peacefully knowing she is receiving such exceptional care."

"It was warm and friendly. They seem to have all the accommodations that were needed at the time. There was access to all therapy sessions. The food was good. "

"The Carriage Club of Jacksonville was a very nice facility. The only thing that I did not like was the fact that I was going to be stuck there. There was no way to really leave the facility because there was nothing else around it. If I even wanted to go to the convenience store, it wasn't around there, so that was one downfall plus my age. I have to be a hundred percent disabled to qualify to move in there. We ate lunch there, and I thought the food was excellent -- outstanding. The staff was very nice, and she has followed up numerous times with me and asked what my status was -- very accommodating. It was very nice, except that you'd be stuck in the facility with nowhere to go. "

"My mother is living at the Sunrise of Jacksonville. We liked it a lot. We were very impressed. The only thing she doesn’t care for is the food. The grounds are very well kept up. The rooms are very nice and roomy. I like the way they have the window in their little living room that goes out into the hallway where they can see out. It’s like a regular house, but you see people out in the halls. Everyone I’ve met has been very friendly, very nice, and helpful. "

"My parents found Grand Living at Tamaya. It's brand new, it has all the accommodations they ever want and they're moving in next Thursday. We had an in-person tour. It's very well kept. Nice accommodations. Very nice staff. The rooms were big and clean. They had water exercise class, happy hour, puzzles, card games, a library, and a fitness room. My parents haven't moved in yet but just by the brochure and what they told us, they have a lot of things scheduled throughout the day. This one was the best for my parents and it fits their needs."
