My mom has been in Elan for about 8 months. Assisted living. She loves it. I must say they were quick to respond when corona hit. Went into lock down immediately.

No experience except "hear-say"....look at Trinity Springs (another poster had commented as well with a link). I've heard great things from people who have placed loved ones there. In fact I personally know the people who've placed them. Know some of the folks that work there as well. Also have heard Mission Oaks as well. Know of someone there right now. Her husband is in our care-group from church.

I toured Elan Buena Vista. Very nice.

Buffalo Crossings is a wonderful facility. They have both Memory Care & Assisted Living.

Also, Serenity is a great place and it is specifically for memory care.

Best of luck 😢

But you don't say where she is.

Avoid The Willows. Elan Buena Vista does not have private rooms in Memory Care. Rooms are shared with a curtain separating resident's beds.

We have our mom at mission oaks. She’s been there since October 2017. Very pleased with the staff and care.

The main decision for choosing MO was staff longevity. The place had only been open 6-7 years and the majority of staff had been there since opening.

Highly recommend Prestige Manor in Belleview after sister was in 3 others I didn't like- Mission Oaks, The Willows & Lady Lake Specialty Care.

My mother was at Generations Senior Living in Wildwood for 18 months. They have two or three 6 resident houses. Of the three places she lived over a 5 year period that was, by far, the best! Before that she was at the Springs ALF. I would not recommend them.

Though i can’t go see her they have a room with a screened porch where they will bring a resident so they can be visited while the family member does physical distancing. I very much appreciate that.

We moved out of there. Absolutely the worst. No response to the call button, poorly trained staff. STAY AWAY

My wife spent almost 2 years in Willows and I was happy for the care she got. Important to remember that the rate they give you is negotiable.

this has been a very helpful thread....thank you all that have gone down this road before and were willing to share. I will have to go down this path in the future for the love of my life...I can't even tell you how much of a relief reading all of your comments this has been. Again, THANK YOU all

I had my mom at Sumter Place assisted living, she was “moving toward” memory care but died prior to actual move. Loved it then, mom has been gone since 2015.
