I wish she could go out of the memory care and walk around. I don't know what activities they do I have no compassion to value of cost.
My mother in law has been a resident for over 2 years. She has been well taken care of. Every one of the staff has always been cheerful, courteous and gentle with the residents. I can not sing enough...

They have only been there for a short period of time .But so far, great feedback, they seem to love it. Everything good so far
As far as Brookdale it is close to my house and my mom's doctors. I found the staff to be friendly, helpful, professional and caring. Also, the rooms are a good size. I would recommend the facility.
Staff were super friendly and helpful. In the short time my mom was there the experience was truly wonderful. The care they take in their residence is amazing.
My experience is with the assisted living at Westminster Towers in Orlando. The staff is so kind and attentive. It seems they all really like working there. It's very refreshing to have this group so upbeat.
Our loved one is perfectly happy at Bay Oaks, everyone there is so friendly. She is really enjoying the meals and dining and we know she is being well taken care of.
For those people able to socialize it's a very supportive environment. No where is perfect but the issues is our loved one too. My mother has dementia and she is getting worse. It's a great place.
I couldn't be more pleased with The Peninsula. My brother made the move from living on his own to an apartment at the Peninsula in June. The Peninsula staff has been very helpful with the administrative...

In Florida, memory care is considered a type of assisted living and is licensed by Florida’s Bureau of Health Facilities Regulation. Communities that offer memory care need to meet the assisted living requirements in addition to memory care requirements.
Specific requirements for memory care communities in Florida include the following:[01]
Communities that provide memory care are also required to disclose which features in the community are suitable for seniors with dementia.
Memory care facilities go through an initial inspection to get their license. After that, inspections occur every two years and are unannounced.[01] The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration has a public record search where you can look for communities by name to see if they’ve had any violations.

Our free tool provides options, advice, and next steps based on your unique situation.
During inspections, if a community is found deficient in any area, the community will receive a statement of deficiencies. This designation will be noted in the public record search. Communities have the option to appeal these decisions, so you may want to request more details about any community you’re considering.
