Nursing Homes in Lakeland, Florida

Good Daughter

We recently moved our mother to Ansley Parke. The staff has been wonderful as our mother transitions to a smaller living space. She now has 3 good meals available to her each day and no longer grabs a granola bar because it\'s easy. We can rest knowing there is always a staff person available if our mother needs assistance for any reason. I live out of state and my mother didn\'t want to leave her friends and other family members. This is a good solution.

Azalea Park is a comfortable, homey, welcoming type of place. The staff is friendly and helpful. My sister is in a studio apartment there. She's somewhat in isolation for the first week; they have to make sure she is OK. They have a beauty salon for her and they have activities like bingo. For visitations, they have this little kiosk when you come in, you check in on a little touch screen, and you're good to go. My sister seems to be happy with the food.

We looked at Lake Morton Plaza. It was in a downtown part of Lakeland, and my sister has the tendency to wander around, so the location was a drawback. The staff who accommodated us was very professional and welcoming. The facility was older, it was a hotel converted into a residence, so it looked like an old hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, but when you're in the halls and in the elevator, it looks like an older residence. There were one-bedroom and studio apartments. I think they might have two-bedrooms, but I didn't look at those. They had a dining area with food. They had arts and crafts and different kinds of activities there too.

We like Lake Morton Plaza very much. The apartment we saw was on one of the upper floors. It was a very nice one-bedroom apartment. We were looking at independent living at the current time, but we wanted to be in a position where if it became necessary later on, we could have assisted living without having to leave. They didn't show us the amenities. It was lunchtime when we were there. We saw the people eating, and it appeared well organized. It's a very clean place. We were very happy with it. We just decided not to move for another year or two. We think it's a very fine place. We did not stay for lunch at all. The apartment had a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and an all-in-one, big, open area, which was fine. The kitchen was well equipped, and it had a full-sized refrigerator; that was the thing that impressed my wife probably the most. For whatever interaction we had with the staff, they were excellent.

We went to Savannah Court of Lakeland. The girl in charge was very, very friendly, she even followed up with a phone call. She took us and showed us the whole building. They're all studios, and they have a courtyard in the center, and every one of the studios around the courtyard has access to the courtyard. They have a door right out to the courtyard. We did like Savannah Court; we liked the way it was arranged. The building is not as new, and not as nice as some of the others.
