I had a loved one who was in Lady Lake Specialty Care about 9 years ago and the care was excellent. The only advice I can give you is to check out several places and the main thing to find out is what is the ratio of staff to patients. VISIT OFTEN AND GO IN AT VERY ODD HOURS. That way the staff will not know when you are coming and you will get a very clear picture of the facility and the quality of care your loved one is getting. Some facilitys have very fancy appearance but do not let that fool you. Also ask what level of facility they are check with the State of Florida to see when the last inspection was done and the inspection report and make sure that if there were any violations how and when they were corrected. And most of all remember THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GET'S THE OIL. VISIT YOU LOVED ONES OFTEN keep on top of things and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do for your loved one also make sure that they do criminal background checks and random drug testing on all employees.
