Memory Care Communities in The Villages, 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."

"We went to The Harrison of Wildwood and toured their memory care for my cousin's husband. It was very nice, very clean, and very welcoming. The people that greeted us were also very welcoming. It's a lovely place. They had just moved down. Somebody else had it as a memory care place before, and The Harrison has just moved into that location. The sales consultant was wonderful. She followed through with us and answered every question. She was very compassionate and listened to what my cousin's feelings were. The dining area looks good. We were in a memory care place, so the food was probably a little simpler than it would be in the other areas. They also don't have choices. They just put the food in front of the residents because it's memory care. Everything was neat, clean and tidy. The people serving them were also very friendly and happy. They're very helpful with the residents if they need to be. They were the most expensive. They were about $1,000 more than every other place we have visited."

"I moved my mother to Village Veranda at Lady Lake. The building was lovely, she was there on December 10th, she had a blood clot in her leg, and she went to the hospital, and a week later she passed away. The nurses' aides there were very nice, and much, much better than the ones at the other place she was in. The nurse, however, because of her negligence, did not recognize that my mother had a blood clot in her leg. When I went to visit her, she had excruciating pain at 7 am, and the nurse's reaction was to give her an aspirin, although that wasn't entirely wrong, it was completely, glaringly evident that she had a blood clot, her foot was like a basketball. Consequently, they missed a major thing. The care is nice, but I can't say much for the medical professionals handing out the medication because she missed it completely. The rooms were very nice, the food was mediocre."

"I found Chambrel at Pinecastle through Caring.com for my father. I chose this facility because it wasn't too far and it's within my price range. They have the kind of care that she needed at that time. They have a TV room. The facility with their lobby and all is really nice. People there are very warm and caring. "

"I did visit Brookdale Paddock Hills. It was a very nice facility, but it was a little bigger than what I was looking for. It didn't have quite as personal appeal to it as a smaller facility. However, it was very nice. The person who was giving me a tour of the facility and giving me information about it was pleasant and helpful. It seemed to be a very nice facility, and I didn't have any issue with it, but it was just a little bigger than what I was looking for for my dad. "

"I toured Regency Park Assisted Living & Memory Care, and I thought it was very good. It was light and bright. The patients, a lot of them were up in the community room. They were having karaoke, playing music, and participating. There were other residents that were in various places around. The rooms were nice. They're I guess adequate, they're not really large. You think of a hotel room, and that's about the size that they are, not a suite but a single hotel room. They also have double occupancy or single rooms, which are priced differently. I have a cat, so they do not take pets. They might make an exception if I took a single room and paid an extra $50 a month for the pet. It gets kind of pricey once you get a single room, and on top of that, you have your pet fee. The woman who gave me the tour was very friendly and outgoing, and I was just very impressed by her. The rooms are small, and if there are two people in the room, it's gonna be a little cramped. It wasn't a very nice place to walk around the facility. It's an undeveloped area and there are no houses around but there are offices, doctor's offices, business offices, and Massey, lawn care. Right now, I'm used to walking. I like to get outside. I like to walk or work outside and there's nothing like that. The facility is nice but the amenities like the outside were not that good. I think it's a converted hotel or motel. They don't have any screened-in porches or patios or anything like that. The rooms have been well taken care of and they're fixing and painting some additional rooms."

"We visited last week to find a place for my aunt who is currently in an assisted living facility. We were impressed with the staff and this will be closer for us to visit."

"The facility is stunningly beautiful and everyone that I met on the staff was genuinely interested in my well-being."

"My sister moved into Brookdale Canopy Oaks. When I looked it up online, it sounded very good. When we went to visit, it was very clean. It offers a lot. All the residents seemed to be very happy where they were. The staff was very pleasant, caring, and helpful. It just seemed to be the right place. I had one meal there, and the food was alright. They have outings. I know my sister went to an ice cream parlor. They have movies. They do their nails for them. They play games and cards. It felt homey."

"We toured Canterfield of Ocala. The parking was convenient. I parked right outside the door that I went in. You walk through door, and they have a really nice lobby. The staff there got to us right away. They were super friendly. The dining room looked really nice. They showed me some pictures of the food my dad would be getting. The room was nice. They had several amenities, like a movie room."

"I liked the available activities here and the fact that they had a gymnasium, card rooms, and clubs. They had a workout room. They were very knowledgeable about what they were doing, informative, and polite. I was impressed with the dining room and the cleanliness. They had servers available, whether you were eating in the facility or having it brought to your room. The options were very good. They are close to Highway 200. They have a good parking facility."

"Marci, Deb and I are very confident with the care you are ALL giving Sue. Thank you!"

"It was a beautiful place. It's almost five-stars. It's very, very nice. I was toured by a salesperson, and it was a great tour. We got to see an apartment and all the facilities. It was a one-bedroom apartment and pretty much brand new. It had a beautiful kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, a laundry area, and it was very spacious. They also had a theater, a bar, or social area where you can have drinks and have a community kind of hang out. There were two or three restaurants, an exercise room, a pool, and pretty much everything you'd want in an assisted living environment. I think it's really one of the nicest ones around, but it's a large community, and it would not work out for my dad, he would get lost. There were a lot of long hallways where you couldn't quite know where you were."
