Nursing Home Communities in Leesburg, FL

"We toured. It's great. It's clean. They're very courteous. The only thing I can say negatively about them is that there were no residents in the common rooms or the cafeteria. We didn't see a single resident. I would like to see what kind of residents are here and we weren't allowed to, and I didn't like that. We weren't allowed to see a room, and we only saw it from the hall. The facilities looked very clean, and they have a kitchen that is designed for therapy. The kitchens were lowered to the ground for people in wheelchairs to learn how to cook and how to do the dishes. That we liked. The staff who helped us during the tour was great. But there were no residents that we could talk to. It was almost like the place was deserted. There's a patio outside. If you have guests or whatever, you can go outside. It's basically on a lake. The facility is fenced-in. There is a place where they can sit outside and look at the birds, the bees, the flowers, and the trees."

"We toured Lady Lake Specialty Care. The area we visited was clean, but it wasn't nearly as nice as the other two we visited. It's older. It's probably 30 years old, so it was not up-to-date. The staff who gave the tour was friendly. They showed you around them. They were nice. They were okay."

"My mother in law is a esident of this facility. She has a hearing loss And Alzheimers. The staff there are Very caring, timely in their care, They are very patiend And give out lots of hugs even when our mom is being difficult. Last week she celebrated her 93rd birthday. As I made stop in grocery to pick up balloons for her, I met a staff memeber who was there to pick up her birthday cake. On speaking with her I found out that I didn't need to purchase balloons as activity dept. had already decorated tables in dining room with 14 balloons. The room was also decorated with birthday hats And a birthday banner And was very Festive and colorful! Our family is Very Pleased with staff and cleanliness of facility, we have NEVER smelled any odors when visiting. We received this recmmendation from a friend whose relatinve is Also living here in the Alzheimers unit. "

"My longtime boyfriend's grandpa is in this facility. We have had a generally positive experiences here. At first glance the place is fairly clean. The waiting room is decent and the patient rooms are a little drab, but clean nonetheless. The staff is usually very helpful and they seem happy to be doing there job, which is nice for a change. Grandpa seemed to go a little downhill within the first few months he was there and we found out it was due to the amount of anti-anxiety medicine they were giving him. But once we voiced our concern they promptly lowered the amount. One of the things we like best about the place is that they are always welcoming to take questions. You don't feel like you are bothering them, or that it is a "dumb" question. They are also fairly decent on visiting hours. A lot of places make you slot an appointment or have very specific and limited visiting hours, but I seem to be able to go when it is convenient for me, within reason. Overall, we are pleased with Ruleme Center and would recommend it to others looking to place a loved one in a nursing home. "

"Lake Eustis Care Center came very highly recommended to us by the nurses at the hospital where my mother-in-law was. We went over there and looked at it and we were impressed. First of all, when you walk in, it does not smell. We saw several of the patients that were in the hall and every one of them that we asked was telling us how much they like it. Most of the staff there seems very good though I'm not particularly fond of their head nurse. "

"Bayview Center was fine. They had a floor for dementia and Alzheimer's care and another floor for patients who weren't so acute. They remodeled the place to be very colorful, very clean, open, and friendly. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the dining area was pleasant and airy."

"Avante at Mount Dora is a very nice facility. The general air is one of cleanliness and the employees seemed quite capable. When my aunt broke her shoulder she went there to recover and having alztimers she was a very difficult patient, but they dealt with her exceptionally. She had had some difficulty at her last care facility, but she settled down considerably once she was moved to Avante. They had a beautiful piano in the foyer which she got to play and that made her quite happy. The service she received was excellent and the food was good too. The only thing that really bothered me about the experience was that the nurses referred to her by her first name. I felt that using her last name would have been a little more appropriate, but it was really no big deal. Overall I was very satisfied with the service they provided my aunt and so I give them four stars for their performance. "

"I'm in rehab at Buffalo Crossings. It's a ten all around. My husband and I both came over here after a hospital stay. The staff has been very helpful. The nurses and the CNAs are wonderful. The physical and occupational therapy has been fantastic. The food is very good. I'm having a chef's salad today that's really good. My husband is enjoying his food, too. He said it's so much better than hospital food. We're in different rooms, but they're doing so well with the COVID. All the staff members wear N95 masks. You have to stay in your room, but I couldn't really move around too much anyway. They are keeping everybody 14 days isolated, but your family can make an appointment and they will wheel you outside. You're behind partition and they can come up and see you. They can't come into the facility to see you. They're doing everything right as far as I'm concerned with COVID, and the staff is very knowledgeable, especially for me. They have to get me up and out of bed, and the physical therapist and occupational therapist push you, but I want to get myself going and be able to go home, so that's good. The rooms are beautiful. They look like a hotel room. I can see right out my door if I was able to go out. They bring all your meals to your room because of the COVID restrictions, but normally they have dining areas out there where you can sit. It looks like a hotel lobby out there. There's a fireplace and a TV over it. As much as I can see, it looks beautiful and upscale, like a Hyatt lobby. They have an activity director, and because of COVID a lot of things are different, but I happen to have my iPad with me, so I'm either reading, or they have the big screen TVs, or doing research, so I didn't ask for anything recreation-wise. Today, the staff came and brought a welcome balloon, and they already have my plan of care case management set up for next week. Normally, they have a happy hour, but because we're in our rooms they come around. They even have beer or wine and snacks and sodas, and they just bring it to your room individually because of COVID. I know my husband is getting a newspaper every day, which he loves. They're doing what they can during COVID. I'm sure there are other things if I was interested, but I told the young lady that pretty much between the therapies and the things I have to do I don't really need anything else."

"My mother (and father before his death) has resided at Waterman Village since 2001, living independently until my mother suffered a stroke in the year following my father's death. She then moved to Edgewater for rehab from the stroke. In the 18 months she has been there additional cerebral accidents have meant the need for more care. She is now in her own private room in the long term care unit. My brothers and I visit on random schedules and have always found her well cared-for in a cleaning and affirming atmosphere. The meals are all prepared by the main Waterman kitchen, which means soups from scratch, diverse offerings (my mother makes her own choices for every meal .... with a long list of alternatives always available). Most important, at almost 95 with her life-partner now on the other side and her home of many years now a memory, she is happy and greets days with a pleasant anticipation. We would also note that while a chaplain program provides for most spiritual needs, my mother's more liberal religious views are always respected. In fact, I have found that all residents, in all ways, are respected. Our family could not be more pleased with Edgewater. "

"My mother was at The Club Health and Rehabilitation Center at The Villages. There was absolutely nothing I liked about it. They neglected my mother. They did not answer the call lights. The food was not great. The staff was rude and ignorant. And there is not one good thing I could say about that facility. I would not put my enemy in that facility at all. The place was rusty, dusty, dirty, and ratty tatty. They need to improve the care of their nurses and they need to renovate. The front lobby looked spectacular. But then when you go in the back and you go into the rooms, the rooms had chipped wood, chipped paint, and dirty floors. They needed to have supplies. They didn't even have bedpans. They ran out of bedpans and my father had to go buy one at a store. The staff needed more training. I probably went 3 or 4 times to the administrator to try to resolve things. They need a whole new makeover and they need a whole new staff training for that place to be anywhere close to where my mom is at right now."

"My mother is in NeuLife Rehabilitation. It's for level-one trauma patients who have brain injuries. It's the perfect place for anybody who's in a wheelchair and has major trauma-type injuries. The staff is amazing: they're super, super nice, caring people, they do a great job, and they're medically trained, so they know how to do more than the average facility, probably. It's been a good experience for my mom. Because of COVID, we have to visit outside, but my mom likes her room. She said it's like an apartment; it's very nice. The facility is physically older, but the care they give is great. It's far away from me. I have to drive three hours to visit my mom, but it's a nice location if you are from that area, because it's in the rolling hills, it's secluded from the city, and it's very nice."

"I was at this facility from may 30, 2023 til June 30 2023. From the moment I got here everyone treated me like family. From my aides to nurses to my therapists. I want to thank you for the great care and kindness. The food was excellent, a far cry from institute foods, you can tell they care as well. Highly recommend if anyone needs rehab. Again thank you.
