Five Star Senior Living

I am the daughter of a resident at Huntington Place . My mother in [date removed]and we are all delighted that she is in a caring and “top notch” facility. They have an amazing staff which is friendly, compassionate, and professional. Every time I visit my mother , I am impressed with how well everything is run..Today, as I had lunch with my mother, I noticed that [name removed] the Executive Director, was helping distribute the meals and see that all the residents were attended efficiently. IShe sets a great example of leadership, professionalism, and teamwork, and her staff responds in kind. Even though [name removed] is super busy, she always takes time to answer my questions and those of the residents that I see before me. She definitely takes her job to heart and sees that every operation within the facility runs smoothly. Her patience and compassion definitely add to the success of this facility. There is no doubt my mom and all the residents at Huntington are in good hands!

We chose The Gardens of Port St. Lucie mainly because of the pricing, their bottom line price was the lowest before care was added. The care price was comparable to others. The facility is smaller so things are not all spread out and we really liked that aspect. Everyone from the sales person to the director to the nurses is very proactive in the care of the residents. Anything that is needed is taken care of immediately. Foe every meal they come around and ask if they are going to be eating in the dining room and if they are not they will take their order and bring it to their room free of charge. They have a ton of activities provided. At least 4 times a week they have live entertainment and the staff come around to let residents know. They also do happy hours and have games to play. It is a very friendly and social atmosphere. Overall I could not ask for more.

It is a very attractive facility. It's upscale looking. The staff has been very kind and helpful with my loved one. It's overall a good situation.

Legacy Heights is the correct place for our loved one. There was a delay getting her moved in due to a wound that needed to be healed so we haven't experience much. However the head nurse came with us to every single important to get updates on how the wound was healing to see if they were able to get our loved one moved in to the community since they are not able to take a level 3 wound. The wound healed significantly and we were able to get our loved one moved in. They have exceptional services, and we are just blown away. They are very responsive and all the staff seem to be on the same page. The staff and residents are all super friendly.

I encourage others to move to The Palms at Fort Myers, it is great. The staff and residents are wonderful. The staff are terrific to work with if I have any questions or concerns. The apartment, housekeeping, two meals a day, changing of linens, activities, satellite and, electricity are included in the monthly fee. The food is good, and we have a new food service. The breakfast is really good. There is always some type of activities going on for the residents to choose from. Dominos, card games, cornhole, presentations, bowling, outside entertainment, and more are some of the activities available. There is transportation available if needed.

This was a nice community but there was another community that would have allowed a space for my pet. Also I just wanted a different environment feel. Also I had to wait for availability and there was another community that came up first. The tour was great and they answered all of the questions that we had.

I would recommend Sycamore Manor. I paid them and it took them forever to cash the check. That was my only issue. It took them forever to get my final bill. They need to update their finances a bit.

We chose Palms of Mt. Pleasant because of their low staff to resident ratio and also the price was fabulous. I really like how small the facility is. They are willing to share any and all information, but I generally needed to be the one to reach out and ask for it unless it was an emergency. They are the nicest, kindest, most caring group of people that I have ever experienced. They improved my mothers physical ability incredibly and I was highly impressed, they are miracle workers. I would absolutely recommend them to other families.

It is clean, bright, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They meet my mothers needs and call us with any questions or concerns. They try to keep the residents very active and they have something going on every day. The chef adjusts to dietary needs and has been super accommodating in that aspect. Based on the other places we looked at, I think it is a great value for the money especially for the services that they provide. We would definitely recommend Overlook Green to other families.

Mom is very happy at Huntington . When she presses her call button, someone responds very promptly. And with a smile! The food is amazing and her only complaint is “They give me too much!” Our family has much less stress and it’s great to visit and spend time with mom instead of taking care of chores that she no longer could do herself. We also know that if she needs help any time of day she doesn’t have to wait till one of her children can get there. The staff has been very responsive to any of our concerns. Our family and Mom highly recommend Huntington Place.”

We had a really good tour with Somerford House, but it was not what my mom was looking for. There were more residents in wheelchairs and it just did not seem as active of a community as she wanted.

Nice place but too big for my loved one. It had a lot of people with a lot of energy.

There is a genuine overall commitment to customer service and medical care @ VSL. As a Medical Doctor I sleep well at night knowing that my Mom’s meds, PT, & emergencies have been professionally managed well x 5 yrs. VSL was great during the pandemic. In light of current vaccinations of the staff & residents, one should not be hesitant to have your loved one’s physical, nutritional, social, emotional & spiritual needs met by the VSL caregivers & become part of the “VSL Family.” My mom is 95 y/o & she never wants to leave! She loves the crafts, BINGO, singing, piano playing, local Olympic events, celebration of holidays & the monthly MD visit in her room. The driver of the van is great for taking my Mom to medical specialty & dental appointments when I am out of state. Do take a tour like I did 5 years ago & talk to the very friendly & amazing staff, especially the admin director and director of nursing. Then, admit your loved one, sleep well at night & visit as often as you can!

We chose Five Star because I had experience with them as a caregiver, I had worked with other clients at this location. I think in general with any care facility, the ratio of care giver to resident is a concern that I have. My loved one had a fall that was not detected until several hours later.

The staff at Five Star Premier are terrific and based on our experience so far we would without a doubt recommend this community to other families. We love the special attention and things they do for the residents. There is live music performances twice a week and even sometimes three times a week. The other day when we came to visit they even had an aromatherapy session for the residents. They have excellent medical care from the staff, psychiatrist and nutritionist.

Everything has been good. We've had a good experience at Barrington Terrace. I like the staff and the way they run things. And the facility is very clean.

I had a good tour experience with The Haven & The Laurels. To us the facility felt very intuitional and we were looking for something that had a homier atmosphere. It was nice but just not the right fit for my loved one.

My Dad, who has Alzheimer’s and lives in the moment, has lived at Huntington Place since October. The other day we took him out for lunch. As we were driving him back he asked us if he was going home. He meant Huntington Place! That is what it is – a home. It looks and feels like a home! As Dad walks through the hallways he looks at each painting and describes the story in it. [name removed] is driven by her love for the residents and her passion for excellent care. It sounds corny, but when you meet her and everyone (RNs, caregivers, activity Executive director, BTR director, etc) you know it right away! They read him his devotions he loves every day, provide him with opportunities to do what he loves. Bottom line, they love him like he is their own Dad and he knows it – and I know it! After these 5 months I am still amazed at how wonderful Huntington Place and this awesome family of caring people are for Dad! Carol

I have worked along side Huntington Place staff for over a year working with hospice patients. This facility is by far the BEST facility I have ever been to!! All staff truly care about their residents and they provide the best care. I have never seen staff that treat residents as if they were family, but here they do. Home cooked meals, they provide dignity and support to patients, staff is very experienced. I can not recommend a place more highly. Amazing place. Take a tour and meet the staff. They are fantastic! The facility is very nice and clean, and very well maintained. Perfect place for your loved one needing additional care. Megan K.

After what my dad was in for 5.5 years at another facility, this place just blows it out of the water. The food is excellent, it is less expensive, and there have just been no complaints from his end. He has a full apartment with a full sized kitchen and it is very spacious. I would absolutely recommend them to other looking. The location is amazing, it is walking distance to restaurants, stores, parks, etc. so he does not feel trapped.
