What is it they say? When one door closes another opens. Such has been my experience in moving into my nonagenarian years. Gone are the house on the golf course, the SUV, my beloved dog, the husband years ago...but wait, this isn't all a downer. I toured a new assisted living/memory care facility nearby with my son and daughter-in-law before it opened never dreaming it was to be my new home. Such has been the case, and I am in my second year within its walls among the residents and staff. Living alone is now a "has been," and I am happy here in my small apartment which I love. Imagine the pleasure living in all new decorator surroundings and dining 3 times a day with friends having similar interests. A pendant I wear about my neck has a button that when pressed brings an aide to my side. A daily page greets me filled with activities and local bus trips. Because we are so new, the administrative staff is responsive when hearing how best they can serve us. Before you settle for less, take time to see what is waiting for you on Route 27 at Hearthstone in Leesburg, Florida.

The Ivy at Draper on Bangerter Parkway who is now owned by Greystar for the last year. This is a 55+ senior community that is charging each tenant $40. a month for sewer! I have a friend who’s parents are on a fixed income and this is wrong. You need to check into them and their practices as they also have to pay for the heating and the cooling of the halls of the building halls as well as the electrical for the hall lights and outside lights which is about $25. a month. The tenants should not have to pay to heat and cool the building and for the lights inside the building and outside. We have never seen these charges anywhere that they assess tenants. The tenants have to pay for their own power bill inside their unit which is normal, but it is expensive as their units are all electric. The manager is not able to be reached and does not care about her tenants welfare and the building is not being maintained properly. They raise the rent on tenants from $100 a year to $300 a year. They also have to pay to park out in the open or for a carport. In addition to all of these fees, they are expected to pay Greystar for pest control, a landline phone plus Internet and cable. They are assessed all of these fees every month. The rent there is over $1700.+ a month for a small two bedroom and two bath.

Rooms are terrible, old furniture, not clean. Staff is lazy & mean. Food is awful, I wouldn't feed to my dog.

Coco

Adequate rooms. Food good activities good . Staff is poor don't give meds on time staff rude . Don't hold up to health codes dealing with bugs instead of spraying whole building just do one room to continue. Hard to get ahold of staff . Instead of getting an increase once a year on Ren they do twice a year and don't tell anyone till month before .

Severe shortage of staff, staff fight loudly. No activities for residents, poor food and lack of care. Fell and not found til next day. Avoid it.

The caring professionals made my mother\'s rehab after a broken hip much less traumatic. We were truly blessed by their services

I\'ve lived here over a year. Constantly understaffed. Med techs and assistants are good. We have a new nurse for the facility as of a couple months ago. Previous nurse constantly was late with providing us with refills. Constantly late with refills leaving us residents to go without. I\'m not aware if that\'s been resolved. Some of the attendants are not qualified to do your personal laundry. They don\'t seem to mind if they ruin your clothing. The dining room again understaffed, service is slow. Over half the time you could wait 30-45 minutes do you have your order taken and then anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before you receive your food. Half the time it\'s on the cool side. Heaven forbid if you wish to ask for anything in the meantime such as butter or additional condiments. Anything over my base needs such as recovering from surgeries are out of the question. They\'ll just leave you hanging. Even though ask for additional service before, after the surgery, then it\'s a big No. It\'s the management that provides less than quality service. Though everyone is friendly. It\'s odd.

We visited Crown Point Christian Village and, on our visit, it looked very nice and very comfortable. They showed us the studio and the 1-bedroom. The staff was very informative and very nice. They had kitchens that were just lovely. I saw the common areas and they looked very comfortable and very nice. We were told they had activities going on. They have exercises, crafts, and different things going on and that is what we were interested in.

My cousin has moved into Village Veranda at Lady Lake. They have been very helpful in getting him in and getting him set up. They set up his apartment with his stuff, too. The facility is new, so it's very nice and very clean. The staff has been great and they have an activity room, too.
