Memory Care Communities in Tavares, FL

"I was most impressed with HarborChase of Villages Crossing. It was the nicest of the three we visited. The lady who showed us around was wonderful. She spent a lot of time with us answering our questions. They have things like a salon where they can do hair and nails. It was beautiful. It was also landscaped beautifully outside. The rooms were really nice. They had a little bistro-type of thing, which had excellent coffee and scones. They even gave us scones to bring home. It was just very nice. They had a separate dining area for the memory care people, which was really nice. They could snack at any time, which is good for my mother because she likes to snack at odd hours."

"We toured Madison at Clermont. It was very good. The staff who assisted during the tour were wonderful. They showed me a room in assisted living, and one had a patio, which was pretty nice, and one didn't. They were okay. It was functioning. It was good."

"We were given a handful of places to tour, and Freedom Pointe at The Villages was the first one we looked at. Every other one we looked at after that didn't even compare, and every place we went just made it look better. The cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff, the facility, and just everything. My parents moved to their assisted living facility. It's my first experience with assisted living, and the odd part for me, my parents are absolutely fine with it, is that while it's technically a 1-bedroom but the bedroom wall is not completely closed off. That's a little different for me, but my parents don't have a problem with it. They seem to like it and maybe that's how others are, too. The staff comes by often to get their trash taken out daily and do their laundry. They're also very attentive, all the different staff. I have tried their food and my parents love it. They really went above and beyond, and all the staff seemed happy to be there."

"I toured Brookdale Wekiwa Springs. What I liked most was that the facility was clean. The one apartment they showed me would be perfect for a single person. Also, they had a calendar of activities and transportation to and from medical appointments. The staff seemed happy with their job. I was greeted by a receptionist, and she was very pleasant, was on time with the appointment, and was prepared. She had brochures, and she wasn't reading. She knew the content. She's a good listener. She paid attention to me, which I appreciated, and she responded professionally. They had an elevator, and it was clean. I saw people working and the nursing staff. However, the facility is older."

"The Harrison of Wildwood was excellent. It was very neat. They were friendly. They showed us the rooms and the facilities. They answered all my questions about extracurricular activities and stuff like that. The rooms were very adequate for one person. The place was clean, and it smelled good. The dining area was very nice and spacious. The tables weren't crammed together, and that kind of stuff. That would be a place I would seriously consider for my mother. I thought the staff was very good and very thorough. We visited the exercise room. I was just very impressed with the place. It was very nice, spacious, and clean. I went into the restroom while I was there, and it was very clean. The residents smelled clean, and so did the rooms."

"I visited Highpoint at Stonecrest. They have a swimming pool, and it's beautiful and new. I liked everything that I saw. The whole facility is a five plus. The staff was wonderful, very friendly, and very informative. Everything about it was professional. I did see the dining room. It's like a restaurant. The cleanliness was superior. We went in the lobby, which was very well organized, clean, and well maintained. There's plenty of seating. They had a snack bar in there. It's like a hotel lobby. To me it was superior. The only drawback I saw was that the cost to stay there was too expensive from what I can afford."

"They only do memory care at Serenades at The Villages, which set them apart from the other facilities. They do so much with their residents, and it's all geared towards memory care. It's great because it will be more focused on what my father needs. If anything was to happen to my stepmother and I had to put her into some type of assisted living or independent living, she wouldn't be able to be anywhere near him. I can't come down to take her to visit him or vice versa, so that was a red flag for me. They don't take Medicaid either. Other than that, the facility was beautiful. The rooms were very nice. Everything was great there. We got there a little later in the day, so we didn't get to see as much interaction. When we got there, there was a couple who were sitting together watching television. There was a staff member who was sitting with them, and there was another resident there as well. The sales director took us on the tour, and he was fabulous. He made us feel very welcome. He understood what we are going through, what we have to do, and how hard it is. He was really good. He had a lot of stories. He was a problem solver. There was a woman who was freaking out about not having cash on her, but you can order fake money. They have things like that to make the residents feel comfortable. They have ways to interact with them, so you get the response that you're looking for. All the menus and activities looked good. Everything was great. Their facility was fabulous. They even have something to help with sundowning. They have some light things put into the ceiling. That was the only facility that we saw that. Their outdoor courtyard was really, really nice. It's in the middle of the buildings. The buildings are making a square around the courtyard. They could go outside, and you don't have to worry about them running off or escaping. For every door, they need a key. Nobody could walk in and out. You have to have either a key fob or a code or something, so that was really nice, just to have that sense of security that he would not be able to get up and just walk out."

"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."

"They make it a point of getting to know you and your loved one and their needs. Although our dad was in for a very brief period we knew we had chosen the right place. We were able to sample the food and explore the entire facility. Food was good and the staff were never without a friendly greeting. Thank you to everyone for caring for our dad. Much appreciation."

"We toured Madison at Ocoee's assisted living for my friend, and it was a very nice place. I would go there if I needed to. I was very impressed with it, especially their interest in the people. You weren't just going to an old folks home. You were going to a nice place with all kinds of activities going on. They try to keep the patient feeling independent, and have more normal living arrangements than in some places. The staff is very pleasant and professional. The place was very well kept up. They have outdoor spaces and a library."

"My tour at Florida Golden Adult Care went very well. I liked that it was a neighborhood, in that my aunt wouldn't get lost in a giant building. The place was very clean. The staff who toured us was very welcoming and informative. I was given a tour of the house. She showed me the complete facility. The dining area was clean and welcoming. There's a nice big backyard with a screened-in porch to eat out, and there's a TV, too."

"Every time I visit my parents this community is spotless. The plant Operation director, Eri is amazing and my parents love him."

"It was a great place for my grandparents. They had a beautiful one bedroom deluxe apartment that was spacious enough to accommodate them both. The staff was super friendly and you could tell they really cared about the residents like their own families. They had a lot of activities but the best was their daily happy hour. The community encouraged families to join their loved ones and have a glass of wine and enjoy the music together. I've never seen an assisted living who offered this. Every time I visited them I felt like I was at the Ritz Carlton."
