Independent Living in Florida

"2025 Update: This place has gone downhill over the 4 years my parents have been there! My father fell on 8/30/2025 and had a significant skin tear on his left arm the wound Dr came and Brookdale lost the order for home health, wound getting worse. 2. My mother is unable to get into the bathroom 2. My mother is unable to get into the bathroom in her wheelchair because the bathroom is not handicapped accessible. They have lived there for 4 years and since the beginning my mother has been having to use the potty in the bedroom. My father has had to do this himself for all these years. I have asked for help for him to take care of my mother and no service care evaluation never gets scheduled. Even when we press the pendant that we need help with her to get her up on the potty etc, no one empties the potty into the toilet. The potty is disgusting and my father should not be having to deal with this when he has such a nasty wound on his arm. Mother ongoing UTIs" - Deborah… Read more

"I recently moved from Virginia to Brookdale Southside. I can't even begin to say enough wonderful things about this community. Every single person has been so friendly, helpful, respectful, knowledgeable and just plain amazing. As I handled all aspects of the move on my own (with the love and support of my family) I could not have completed this move as quickly or as painlessly without Victoria, Karen, C.C. and so many others who welcomed me even before I actually made it down here. I absolutely love it here! The campus is beautiful, my apartment is all updated and I have plenty of room. Honestly, I have found the food to be really good and I am a very picky eater. Gretchen, et al, at the front desk have also been such a help and so patient with me. It's easy to keep busy and make new friends. Anyone who is thinking of taking a leap to a senior living campus, please check out Brookdale Southside. You won't be disappointed. God Bless Y'All" - Jeannie… Read more

"Initially, I was very grateful to have found Pacifica Senior Living Sunrise, and their amazing team. Beautifully decorated, and well-kept property and community. The community and residents are very warm and inviting. Then, I discovered mold in my mom’s apartment during the first week of October and promptly informed the maintenance team. Unfortunately, the actions taken did not remove the mold and my mother continues to experience symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, runny nose, aches, and pains for months, which the Dr confirmed are directly related to mold exposure. I escalated the matter to Pacifica’s Executive Director, and she coordinated with maintenance to treat the mold, requiring my mother to vacate the apartment temporarily. While the maintenance team applied mold treatment and repainted the ceiling, my mother continued to find mold on personal belongings including shoes, purses, and towels. I cannot risk her health any further in that environment and moved her out." - Nicole… Read more

"I recently visited Five Star Premier Residences of Hollywood with my family, and it was an incredibly positive experience. The facility was modern, clean, and spacious, and the residents all had big smiles on their faces. Darline Osser, the Sales Counselor, was especially welcoming and professional. My Mom even started dancing to the music in the background :) We've made the decision that Five Star is where she's going and now we are just planning for the move." - Meghan… Read more

"I want people to know that my aunt is very well treated in the memory care community and she can keep up with her active lifestyle with the outdoor courtyards. The Care has been great so far especially Markeye who has been a huge help in the memory care side. It’s been a couple months so far and I feel safe with her there and happy with the result of the decision that we made. I was able to find a place close to my home for the price that we wanted. I found a studio that was over overlooking the Lakeside for her." - Elsa… Read more

"I moved my father into Horizon Club after looking at 10 different places. I'm glad I did - the staff is amazing and they really care about the residents. The facility is beautiful and well-maintained, and there's always something going on. Part of it is more like senior apartments and the other part is assisted living. My mom has lived here for 7 years and loved it. It can be a little pricey, but to me it's worth it for the peace of mind knowing that your loved one is being well taken care of." - Veridiano… Read more

"I recently moved my parents into the independent living area of Mirabelle, and it has been a great experience. The staff at Mirabelle were incredibly helpful throughout the transition, and they continue to provide excellent service with a genuine care for the residents. The building is beautiful and immaculately kept, with plenty of activities to fill the days. My mom is in early stages of dementia but is able to participate in activities within the memory-care area. The neighborhood is perfect too – a micro-city that offers a wide variety of shopping and dining options with easy access to great medical care.

"Grand Living at Tamaya presents itself as a luxury assisted living community offering first-class care. Unfortunately, my on-site, daily experience tells a very different story. While the setting is undeniably beautiful and the food is good, those positives do not come close to compensating for the serious deficiencies in resident care and oversight, especially given that this is one of the most expensive communities in the area and has received a failing grade. The team is personable and nice. However, there are major staffing issues. Call buttons frequently go unanswered for extended periods, sometimes more than an hour. There is frequently one caregiver assigned to care for residents on two floors. I estimate that to be about forty-five residents. Resident care lacks consistency, coordination, and accountability. Records are not up to date, and it often seems that no one truly knows what is going on with residents who require assistance with daily living. I am genuinely unclear" - Mischelle… Read more
