Independent Living in Florida

"The food is below average but the facility is nice and modern. The care is about 3-3.5 stars, just OK. My parent has been there bout 1-1/2 years." - Scott… Read more

"My mother was transferred to Legacy Point to receive skilled nursing care. She was unable to walk when she arrived and was a larger person. The facility did not have available a wheelchair that would fit her or a sling that was big enough for her. She was at the facility for over a week before those items were finally obtained. She was in the facility for almost two weeks before we moved her to another facility. The facility had difficulty in managing her medications and in providing care when needed to the bedside. Her face was not washed unless it was requested. The facility is beautiful and does have an excellent assistant director of nursing and social services person. Unfortunately, we experienced a lack of direction and supervision of the night staff which was not a good situation for my mother who needed a lot of care. If your loved one only needs nursing care and it is not a complex case, then this facility is a good choice. Otherwise it would be best to find another place." - Helaine… Read more

I have visited this facility over the years as a loved one of a resident and in a professional capacity and have found that the caregivers and management care genuinely about the residents. The amenities and restaurant are very good. I am proud to recommend this wonderful facility and give it a 5 star rating." - Laurie… Read more

"There is no way to speak to the director or head nurse. Phone calls, messages, and emails go unanswered. Communication amongst the staff is also a problem. They are losing the best nurses - why is that?? It seems they are interested in getting a resident in, but not sustaining a relationship thereafter. Very disappointed. ☹️" - B… Read more

"I have been living here for over 3 years. The quality of service has steadily deteriorated in that time. I have had to wait between appetizer and main course over an hour only to have the wrong order served to me and I have to wait (hungry) and hope it's correct the second time, which it is not always correct even the second time. The Executive Director ignores me as if I were invisible. I have to submit a work order to get the air conditioner filter changed, or they may never change it. Half the time the work order gets lost and I have to wait another week. That should be AUTOMATIC MAINTENANCE. Shouldn't have to prepare a work order. Happy hour for early birds, and certain people have needs to eat early... the fact is, a 3:30 pm Happy Hour is offered, and it is rare to be able to get a drink at that time. SHORT STAFFED, because they don't pay enough to keep steady, COMPETENT, help. But the rent has increased beyond most people's ability to pay at those increases. POOR MANAGEMENT." - Allen… Read more

"My husband and I are current residents of The Fountains and have lived here for nearly four years. We both love it! As someone else mentioned, it's like being on a cruise ship, with so much to do and happy people to do it with. Every single department excels in its care of us, so we feel nurtured and safe. It's amazing how three hundred residents can feel like an extended family, but I credit the amazing staff for always encouraging us to be compassionate and embracing of one another. If you visit The Fountains, you are certain to feel welcome to join in the laughter and camaraderie that abound.

"If I could give 10 stars, I would. I just moved my dad from NY to Florida and have had the most amazingly positive experience with the team at Park Summit. Abby, our sales counselor, has been the most friendly, efficient, and accommodating professional from the first call all the way through to moving my dad into the facility. Throughout the entire process, she and her team have bent over backwards to make this a good experience for my dad. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and friendliness of each and every staff member we’ve encountered at Park Summit. They really care about the health, wellness and comfort of their residents, and that’s evident in their interactions with the residents and their actions when something needs to be handled or addressed. I look forward to a great experience for my dad at Park Summit, and I can rest easily knowing he’s in good hands." - Lorin… Read more

"I hate this place. They treat people just ok, but care is not great. They train memory care residents to use diapers as opposed to taking them to the bathroom. It makes it easier on the attendants. The “attendants “ are babysitters." - M… Read more

"Mom lived in assisted living at Riviera for a year, we thought at the time things were ok, always framed like mom was doing well and engaged, until we moved her to find out more. Even being in and out it wasn’t enough to protect mom. Come to find out that mom told staff how frighten she was with nursing care, today I come to find out these concerns went unnoticed/ignored or un-responded to by the chain of command. Staff took mom to color daily at a table that was Pretty much the extent of the services that this facility offered my 95-year-old Mom. Always making us feel like she was doing well and ok. As if this isn’t enough, we left on terrible Circumstances after a hurricane impacted our area in the Holly Hill Facility. Riviera Assisted Living evacuated with no plan, how can you not have a plan as an ALF? Some staff insiders admitted there was no plan and if it were not for the directors previous employment in Winter Park, they would have had nowhere to evacuate.
