Westminster Communities

They are really friendly and go out of their way to help you. I couldn't have picked a better place for my mother-in-law, if I had to pick again!

My 86 year old father just moved to the assisted living facility here about a month ago, but our experience thus far has been truly superior. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The residents appear to be happy and healthy and they are friendly, as well. There is a wide variety of activities going on daily and The Quak Center is a true advantage to the residents. My father has been very complimentary regarding the food that is served in the dining room, much better than ordinary institutional food. I feel that we have made an excellent choice and look forward to many happy years there.

We found everyone at Westminster Palms to be extremely helpful and friendly, especially Jerry Bushey. He was especially sensitive to the specific needs of my mother and went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable at Westminster Palms.

Overall things have gone very well at Westminster Towers. The staff are all very friendly and pleasant, and they are quite diligent about making sure Mom is taken care of and gets her medicine on time. They respond quickly to any issues that come up, be they maintenance or care issues. The facility itself is clean, well kept, and pleasant, and there are no odors whatsoever. They do her laundry twice a week. Mom also really enjoys the food here, and food was one of our main pre-requisites. Mom has been a fantastic cook all her life, and now that she can't cook for herself being able to enjoy delicious food is still very important to her. Overall we're very pleased with this place, and would recommend to others who are looking!

I visited with my parents and they love the atmosphere, the people and found a perfect cottage. As a worker in the health field, I was very impressed with the health care center. Even though my parents do not need any health care services, it's a good feeling to know that if they do need those services in the future, they will be well taken care of and I will not have to search for those facilities.

Jerry Bushey was great and very helpful.

I liked Westminister shores very much it is exactly what I am looking for. My daughter would like something a little closer. Maybe Tennessee or North Carolina.I had a fantastic time wall at the shores. I am still interested if things can be worked out.

It has a very good reputation and a lot of people have lived there for many years. One lady that has been there since she was 60 and she's now in her 70's. They have everything - apartments, independent living, ALF, and skilled nursing - they meet every need that you might have. It's just big bucks to be able to stay there. It's a buy-in, so you put down X amount of dollars and how long you stay determines the amount you get back. They've been in Orlando for a long, long time, and it is a very nice place. I've never heard anybody say anything bad about it.

My dad has since moved out of Westminster, but it wasn't because of anything they did. He just didn't want to be in an assisted living place. Mark Weaver at Westminster was great - he was a huge help. Everything about the community was great, can't say enough good about it.

It was nice, of course I liked the downtown on the waterfront and stuff and they were nice to talk to them. We took a 30 minute tour and it looked like a nice place, but she told me pretty much right when we got in the car that she preferred the other place over this because she was more familiar with it.

Florida Presbyterian Homes has won so many awards! We were really impressed with that! They also are innovators in many areas such as person centered care. They go way out of their way to make sure that the residents have their dreams come true. They even arranged for a former military pilot to have a chance to once more pilot a plane (with a little bit of help). I believe the gentleman was in his 90's. The quality of life is top notch! The setting is just beautiful too. Lake Hunter is a great spot for watching the birds and seeing the aquatic plants blooming. The campus has plants to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Really nice landscaping! The residents are an active and interesting bunch!

Things are going great, it's certainly a 5. We chose it for two reasons, number one, it was close to our house and number two just the overall clealiness and professionalism of the staff when we met with them. Since then my mother in law has been very happy there, she's constantly talking about how good the food is and how nice the little programs are and how friendly and helpful the staff is. She enjoys the meals with the other ladies and she meets with them at other times, I think they just sit around and socialize but she's making friends. It's going better than I thought it would. I think it's an upper end facilty but I do think we're getting our money's worth out of it. It's definitely going better than we expected, she seems very very happy which was all we ever wanted.

I went in to their rehab when I had my last knee replacement and I sat with a lot of the ladies that were in their assisted living. I thought, overall, it was a very nice place. They had 3 or 4 dining rooms and their rehab was nice. The guys that worked on me did a really good job. The expense is a little on the high side but if you can afford it, it's a nice place.

I went to 5 or 6 different places and Westminster was the only place that made you feel like you mattered, that you have value. Other places I toured had a lot of residents hanging around in the lobby with no one attending to them. Not at Westminster, they have been wonderful, everything has been great. The staff is very friendly. There are lots of activities that my loved ones are interested in but haven't started them just yet, so I'll update my "Activities" ratings when I have more perspective.

The tour was great at this community. The community was great but there was just another community that worked out better for my loved one. The tour guide was good and was able to give me all of the information I needed about the community.

The administration team is friendly. I feel they genuinely care about the residents. There are some residents that don't live in the main buildings of the community. The general overall feeling feels like we are overlooked since we aren't in the main building. The community was starting to take out of the landscaping without letting the residents know that "our" lawn was going to be disrupted. It was rectified, they didn't end up taking out all plants and replanted, all except for one plant. The monthly fee includes one meal and housekeeping. The food is processed, and the dining room isn't open. I would prefer to have a choice to buy a meal from the community or housekeeping. I feel that the housekeeping is limited due to time and restrictions. The housekeeping is seriously lacking. The main housekeeper is very nice. Overall I wish the communication would be better between the main building and our building. I do have to pay for electric; they pay for cable, and water. You will see a nice community with great landscaping on the outside. I would come back again, since I have a place to live with no maintenance. I would give it a serious thought if I knew about the housekeeping and the processed food. There are a lot of nice people here.

I have only been living at Westminster Manor for about a month, and these are not typical times, with the coronovirus situation a primary concern. Even so, my reception here has been friendly and comfortable. I came from a senior living community in the midwest, where I had a good experience, and decided to make this move to be closer to my daughter and her family. I think it was a good move, and once activities are again a part of the routine here, plus opportunities to become acquainted with more residents, the experience will be even better. A Place for Mom was instrumental in helping us find this community. My feelings so far are positive. I truly expect that to continue. I really cannot rate some categories since I have not experienced them as yet, so based on expectations, I currently give high marks.

My loved one is currently in the ALF of the Bradenton Westminster Manor. We are very pleased that she is very well taken care of and looked after especially when we are not there. The staff that cares for her is great and shows common ground with each resident on her floor, even the Director of Nursing checks in from time to time for visits to provide one on one comfort. The food is great as well and if she does not feel up to going to the dining room, they will bring meals directly to her to remove the anxiety of having an 'off' day. The dining staff looks out for her as well to make sure she is getting her fruits and salads each day. We sit by the beautiful new pool and hot tub a lot and enjoy the view of this relaxing space right out in 'our' courtyard. A great place to BE!

Moving here a year ago was the very best decision I could have made. The campus is lovely with a wonderful water view. I love my two bedroom, two & a half bath apartment with balcony. Both inside and out there are features that will be even more important to me as I get older: bright lighting, wide doorways & halls, level sidewalks. Making friends is easy here as we take meals in a dining room and are offered a wide variety of activities and outings.
