Did not like this facility at all. Was old looking not updated and frankly not too clean. Went to visit a resident in his studio apt which felt more like a hospital room with a kitchenette

I wasn't very impressed with my tour of this community. The community looked a bit wore down. I would say it needs some up dating. The appearance wasn't very appealing to us. It looked like a place to you would when you were close to the end of your life. Just wasn't the community for my parent and their needs.

Our experience with Summerfield Retirement hasn't been a good one. My loved one is in their memory care wing, and from what I have seen they are just not staffed appropriately to properly handle the needs of memory care residents. The facility just seems understaffed in general, and the people they do have seem young and under-trained, as well as being somewhat rude at times. The response times for care issues are slow, and I've also had problems getting reponses to maintenance issues and with their laundry service. They are apparently looking for more staff members, but at the time of this review what they have is not adequate.

Did not accept me because I was not "weight bearing." They no longer have ECC license. Didn't like the place anyway - very disorganized and somewhat messy, with only one unit design large enough.

My Father moved in here March of 2013. Everyone was very helpful in the move in and it all seemed fine. This facility is in Florida and I am in Ohio so communication was very important to me. Overall they did a good job contacting me if something happened. Until they didn't. He had some issues with falling and one day I get a call from a hospital saying he had been admitted after going to the emergency room. THREE DAYS EARLIER. Springhaven never contacted me to tell me he had been taken at all. He had been confused they tell me later and then fallen. It wasn't until the hospital finally got my contact information that I heard about it. Unfortunately he passed away a couple of weeks later. We were able to spend some time with him before he passed which I'm thankful for. Now at this point I'm taking care of his estate and need paperwork for Long Term Care insurance to be reimbursed. Mind you this should have been being done by them so my Father would have the money in his account to pay for his stay. They were a couple of months behind. Good luck getting a hold of them after someone dies to get everything in order. I finally searched for the company that owns them and called them and finally got some action. It was very frustrating dealing with all of this while also processing a parents death. Maybe my situation was an isolated one. I hope so.

Their communication could be better. When my loved one went to the hospital, but they never called me. I called to find out why and they haven’t gotten back to me. He seemed to be okay there though. I don’t even know if he was wearing shoes when he left – what happened to his wallet.

Don’t go there. They didn’t take good care of my grandmother. They ruined her clothes so we had to buy new ones. The food was not great. It just wasn’t a good experience now. It’s not a good community to bring a loved one to.

Not one to add to the list! It was very dark and dingy looking. It didn't look like anyone was happy there at all. It was a bunch of depressed old people. In terms of care, I didn't see any staff there. The facility itself was not that nice. It really felt depressing.

Spoke with Marcy week of July 7 '13. She is to send info to Dad. Not licensed for assisted living. If need help must bring it in. Hospice can come in. 2 bed on north side of bldg $2350. Lg 1 bed on shaft $2250. Dad feels too old doesn't want!

I toured Sunset Lake Village looking for a place for my husband and myself. I didn’t like this place. I really didn’t see anything spectacular about this community at all, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others.

I am having a lot of problems with them. When I took my mom there, I was told that there was an RN during the day, but she is not an RN, she is an LPN, but technically she is not even an LPN because she hasn't sat before the board. There have been several med errors; she fell and ended up in the hospital, and they didn't notify me of anything. Two different times she went without medication for the majority of the day. The so called head nurse is not head of anything. Since the new company took over it has pretty much gone to hell. I talked with the lady at the Medicaid office, and she really didn't like what she saw when they inspected the place. They are sending their top nurses out to do another evaluation. I am really upset. It is a beautiful place and in the beginning they were doing really good and the food was wonderful. Now she get to choose between a turkey or ham sandwich.

Feels like an institution. Not well kept. Does not feels homey. Needs a lot of work.

They are understaffed, will loose your loved ones belongings and is not a very clean facility. We can but its not very good.

You should never ever suggest that place. I can't tell you how many residents complained about that place while my parents were there. My heart goes out to them. I pulled my parents out of there after they promised many times that they could handle the care that my Mom needed. In fact, upon leaving, the director on the other side of the building who managed the memory- care side, said that they do everything that my Mom needed and she didn't understand why the director over the Assisted Living side never collaborated with her. My Sales agent who got us the two-room unit that we wanted had told us that they understood my Mom's needs and that they would provide it even though Assisted Living normally did not. We felt that we were lied to, or money taken, or time wasted... but that wasn't the worst of it. They couldn't even keep their own promises of light "assistance" such as putting clothes away for my Mom, taking them down to meals timely, and keeping their unit clean. They were supposed to clean the unit every week. Twice, it had gone as long as THREE WEEKS. So you know how dirty the floors get after 3 weeks of not being mopped? My father's feet were BLACK. The bathroom was so filthy and unsanitary, I had to go several times to complain about it. My father, who cleans nothing, even broke down and tried to clean his toilet twice. It was awful. This is what we got for over [amount removed] a month??? Now, I have them temporarily in a first floor apartment (an apartment that I was already living). I had to get another apartment on the second floor. Here, I pay a live-in caretaker a salary that includes food, room, and board. She is able to do everything that is required FOR LESS than both apartments and her salary combined. I make all their meals and control their dietary intake so that my Mom and Dad didn't eat hot dogs and hamburgers every day because they said the food was so bad, they just gave up. My Mom now has regular baths and Dad also gets the care he needs. Bayside should not offer so-called assistance. All they want to do is pass out meds, give their residents attitude, barely provide decent food to eat, and clean whenever they could find help. I have been a manager for over 23 years. If you can't keep employees, then go get temps! Do something!!! Don't make promises that you cannot keep. My Sales manager and I had a very good rapport. While he couldn't admit any fault, he just kept apologizing. I wish he'd go work for another location that cares more about residents.

The facility is too big, 15 floors, the residents get lost in the shuffle, the med techs just leave the meds in the room and dont watch the resident take them. Respond time is unacceptable when the resident pushes their call button for an emergency. The staff do not care about the residents. They overcharge for everything, incontinence products, etc. It is a bad place to put your loved ones. I do not recommend it to anyone.

She fell many times because she wasn't being supervised much, which caused her to go to the hospital several times. Even though we were told that they would give us 2 weeks-month to find another place if she needed more care, they didn't honor that. When she was in the hospital the last time for around a week, they called to say they wouldn't take her back to the facility. The hospital was telling us she needed to be discharged. We were not physically able to take care of her at home since she couldn't walk any longer. Thankfully, I was able to speak with the original person from A Place for Mom that helped me. She was fantastic in helping us find a place for her to go. Spring Haven refused to refund us most of our deposit and while she was in the hospital. They put us in a very difficult spot and wasn't very friendly in doing so. I would highly recommend no family admit their family members to Spring Haven. There was a nurse supervisor that was great but after admission, most of the staff didn't care.

Mom had dementia and was in this place. She was often dirty as was the room. I complained about the many ants and roaches in her room. Nothing was done. Often I had to ask them to clean her bathroom and to give her toilet tissue. Her a/c never worked even though we complained many times, the food was not at all appetizing and she often said it tasted foul. Stealing seems to be a big issue as is getting the medicine to the residents (even the assisted living residents complained). Nursing staff that they 'say' is on duty is impossible to find and the rest of the staff seems to have little idea about when to call 911. We witnessed staff yelling at and belittling residents until they were crying. Their rates raise too often and yet there are no upgrades to services. There is NOTHING for memory residents to do, they offer the most limited enrichments. Also, if you leave on their terms they do not issue you the refund for rent not used that is noted in the agreement.

The nurse staff was terrible. Forced parents to go through rehab when hospital and doctors said it wasn't necessary. Venice palms would not allow them back to there apartment unless they did rehab for a week costing them money plus still paying rent while they were locked out. A disgrace. I wouldn't recommend

When my loved one was in the Independent Living section (no assistance), everyone was nice and kind, the food was hot, everything was clean. However, when she was moved to the assisted living section, things changed drastically. Assisted Living is in the back of the building - hidden, and run down. Most of the nurses acted like it was an inconvenience to do their job - bathe my loved one, give her her meds, help her to the bathroom, answer the call button. She laid on the floor for 11 hours after falling because no one answered her button. My loved one had to wait an hour for cold food at every meal. When she was too weak to walk, she went hungry because the nurse refused to push her down in her wheelchair. She had an accident (bm) in her arm chair, the staff just threw a towel over it. The head nurse was constantly trying to talk me into moving my loved one into the memory care unit (nothing is wrong with her memory). I was constantly taking her back and forth to the doctor for her blood pressure, only to find 5 of her BP pills under her chair and bed when I moved her out, which is also when I found smears of feces on her bathroom walls. I would most definitely NOT recommend Spring Haven to anyone who needs any assistance.

This is the only decent place that accepts Medicaid. The only reason we chose it. The cockroaches are so nasty even when the apartment is clean. We still see them. The renovations are like putting perfume on a skunk. If my grandma could afford other places we’d put her there. Narrow hallways and no nice places to roam around. Memory care is like a jail.
