White Springs Senior Living

It was very nice. The staff that we encountered in the hallways were friendly, engaged, and seemed happy. The most memorable part was when I went in, they were having their happy hour in the lobby with live music (they do that every Friday afternoon). There must have been 25 of the residents sitting down there. A couple of them were dancing and a few of them were having a glass of wine. So, it was a great time to walk in the front door and see that level of activity and engagement with all of the residents there. The facility smelled good and all the residents seemed happy, too. They had a movie theater, a hair salon, manicures, onsite physical therapy, and all kinds of activities throughout the day like card games, art, yoga, and chair exercises.

Everybody here was cheerful. The place was very cohesive, and everybody knew everybody. They were sharing and working together as a group and understood what they were doing and were always engaged. They were always doing something and somebody was always watching what they were doing. The dining area looked very practical, yet elegant and open. It had high ceilings, lots of light, and a nice menu (where they could choose from a variety). It was high quality. It was real cooked food, not canned goods. There were waitresses that were serving you all the time if you wanted more coffee or something like that. It was a really pretty dining area with lots of artwork. The lady who toured us was absolutely a delightful person, very warm, and very knowledgeable. She knew the name of every person that was there, was able to reach out to them, and asked them what they needed. The apartments were quite roomy and nice. I was impressed. It's got a nice layout, and each one had ample space, a closet room, and nice bathrooms. The hallways were wide and well-lit. Everything was doable. They have a movie theater, a salon, and all things that just keeps them going and doing. They would take a couple of bus ride trips to see the Christmas lights or go to a farmer's market to just go walk around. They also have a beautiful outdoor area in the memory care where they can go out on their own. It's fenced off with some lounge chairs. It's very nice, very large, and open.

We did a tour here . It's a brand-new facility, and they only opened last November, so it's not even a year old. It had a very open, airy feel. It's new and fresh. Even the last wing was just being opened for residents. We got to see a resident's room, and they are in the stages of getting in the full swing of things. They're moving right along. My sister liked that. The staff we met is a very energetic person and kind of enthusiastic. They made a real effort to make my sister feel invited. I didn't see a lot of activity, but maybe it was the timing when we were there. We saw the activity center, met the person, and saw maybe three or four people in there. They are still in start-up mode there, and they're still getting things under way.
