Bridge Senior Living

We chose the Enclave based on a personal recommendation, as well as in-person shopping other local assisted living residences. We moved my mother in just a week before the pandemic restrictions were put in place, so naturally, all of the plans and expected life-enriching activities were severely curtailed. In my case, I had to visit the facility weekly to refill my mother's medications, which gave me a familiarity with much of the staff. My mother had to be moved into the memory care wing, and subsequently was placed on hospice care status. Once she was on hospice care, restricted in-room visitation with full ppe was allowed. This gave me added confidence in the staff. They truly understand and give excellent care to the residents, which I observed first hand. I must also give highest compliments to the vigilance of the staff on the steps they take to keep everyone in the facility Coronavirus safe. If you are moving your loved one during the pandemic, it will be a harder adjustment than during normal times, but I'm still very happy with the level of care, and feel no one could do better. I would suggest that if you are new to the process, you talk to other people who have been through this with their family member. There are differences and small details to be aware of between facilities to find the best fit, but the Enclave still get my vote as a truly great choice.

My husband has lived in this community for a month and I couldn't be more pleased with the care he is receiving there. The staff is kind, well trained, and responsive. I am especially pleased with the handling of Covid-19. There have been zero cases to date.

My mom went into the Memory Care (Somerside) part of the Somerby - Lake Nona facility in May of this year (2020). Since this was early in the pandemic it was difficult regarding the fact that I was unable to go into the facility. However I commend the facility for having strict rules to protect it's residents from COVID-19. Overall the transition for my mom went well. The facility is very clean. The staff is awesome. They are very caring and friendly. My mom has her own room and own bathroom. The monthly charge is all inclusive. Management has done an excellent job of keeping family members informed of any issues regarding COVID-19 via automated phone calls and broadcast emails. Initially we could window visit my mom, now she is allowed two 30 minute visits each week with two visitors at each visit. Having my mom taken care of at Somerby-Lake Nona (Somerside) was definitely the right decision for her.

I moved here about 6 years ago. When I first visited, It was one of the most plushy places I had vever seen in my life. The only other place more plushy was my house. I have run many businesses and this place to me seemed So amazing. There are many things good at the Carlisle ; the best is the people. They take very good care of you. We have opera, continuing education, different discussion groups. Our dining service is magnificent. I have a lovely large apartment and everything that I’m used to and require. I have a full kitchen and a washer dryer inside my apartment. My husband and I love the location and the transportation is to perfection—all of Palm Beach County is at your disposal. The staff is an extension of my family.

I visit this place often to see residents for services and amongst all the places I visit, I always recommend this place. The residents are so well cared for. I’m amazed at how hydrated they are, engaged, no skin tears or staged wounds. Everyone is also so pleasant and the residents usually have a smile on their faces. It doesn’t hurt that the place looks like a hotel.

My aunt lived at the Carlisle and lived an absolutely care free life. She lived her life to the fullest and when she moved into the Carlisle, it was a continuation of that celebration of life. The people I’ve met and the connections she has made will forever be something that I will look back upon with warmth and fondness. My experience with the Carlisle has been nothing short of remarkable. I’m grateful my aunt was truly happy and found camaraderie at a beautiful and luxurious community. My aunt is no longer with us and it hurts not having her here. I will miss our time spent at The Carlisle, chatting with the residents, dining like queens, and showing off the place with pride like we owned it! Cheers

Due to COVID-19, I am unable to give an accurate opinion for cleanliness. The only thing I know for sure is our mother was happy, well cared for, enjoyed the activities, was very well taken care of. That is all we wanted for our mother!!

Got off to a rocky start but they are trying very hard to get the kinks out. My aunt loves it there, they are her new family. Love that it is a small establishment.

We chose this facility because the initial impressionism was much more home like than some others. The atmosphere was very good, it felt lived in in a good way. The room sizes are very good, you have a number of options for rooms to choose from. I think they do pretty good with the food, there are a lot of dietary restrictions which cause for less flavor. But the quality of food is good, it is fresh. Maybe they could offer more variety for residents who do not have dietary restrictions. I would want others to know when looking into Somerby of Mount Pleasant that no matter where you put your loved one, always keep an eye on them. If they realize you are watching, they will pay more attention. The staff members here are very good. I would absolutely recommend the facility.

Talk about excellent customer service. I came to visit The Carlisle as the primary caregiver for someone considering the Carlisle. I go to places all the time where people don’t even look at me because they treat me like I’m the hired help. I have a college degree and the family I work for treat me like family. The Carlisle is the first place that treated me like they valued my opinion. They actually treated me how they treat the family. Even offered me a mimosa! I’ll never forget the experience and I’m happy to say the person I care for wants to move in. It makes me happy because if this is how they treat me, I know they will take good care of him.

This is a great community for us. We can visit our loved on the patio with masks on and social distancing. Our loved one is very happy here. We were worried about this, since she didn't want to leave her apartment. They have done an amazing job! The activities still are going on during COVID. The family has been able to do car parades, and residents have been able to play bingo, have singers come and sing outside, play cards, and the community has kept the residents busy. The only complaint our loved one has given her one too much food.

My name is [name removed] I've been living here at the Carlisle for about 8 months. So far I enjoy the dining experience very much the staff is pleasant and The food is wonderful

Lovely community that offers luxury style amenities and services for seniors. It’s a beautiful location just minutes away from the beach. The staff is great and I feel confident that they are capable of managing the needs of my loved one. The managers so above and beyond to ensure we are happy. I look forward to all the great events and programs they offer

I visited the Carlisle for a tour and I’m amazed this place has been here for 20 years. The maintenance and upkeep is superb. It feels like a luxury hotel and literally that is the deciding factor for my dad! He wants an active lifestyle where people are actually doing the activities they say they’re doing. We were invited back to spend a day because of course we wanted to be sure. My father couldn’t stop talking about it on the drive home! Thank you! I’m so happy! I have peace of mind knowing my dad will be looked after and that he’s in good hands.

I’ve lived at this community for a long time. When I see and read what people post about this place, it’s a shame. Everyone has been nothing but kind and accommodating at this community! The staff goes out of their way to help me. I know people will say and do anything for money and I imagine, you know people talk, that’s what the bad reviews are about. But I’m very happy here. Everyday I wake up grateful for my decision. It’s truly a wonderful place!

I went to visit the Carlisle a couple weeks ago to look for a place for my mom. I was so impressed with the cleaning and sanitation protocol they have in place and how they prescreen everyone. We looked at Independent Living and the apartments are absolutely beautiful. I was also surprised to see how affordable it is. I want to go back with my mom soon and we’ll pick an apartment. I visited other newer communities and they didn’t compare to the warmth and hospitality I experienced at the Carlisle. It’s just a good fit for us. The convenience of the shopping center across the street will help my mom to keep her independence and have groceries delivered without much trouble. What a relief! I’m tired of shopping.

I would tell my friends to look into this community. The food was good on our tour. We've had a few virtual visits and then the community has allowed us to come up by appointment. The community has placed Plexiglas up for us to see my loved on, once a week.

My loved one has someone come in and clean their room. This is an older community and it is very nice. My loved one doesn't participate in a lot of activities, but the community has tried to get him to go to activities. They have a locked unit for those individuals who do wonder. Most residents are not able to visit their loved ones. Luckily my loved one has been very receptive to the care needed at the this community.

My dad was at the Carlisle for 6 years. His last few in memory care were made so much better by the care he received there. The activities were conducted with infinite patience and care, and the staff was always there for him. [name removed] came on board as medical director after he moved to memory care and was a constant help to me in coordinating doctors appointments, medication, and transportation. She was always available as an easy, reliable point of contact, which became even more important over the last 6 months. My thanks to her and all the Carlisle family.

I moved here several months ago and to be quite honest, I wasn't involved in the decision. My son and daughter in law came and picked it out before I could even set eyes on it. At first I was upset, understandably so, because I thought my kids were putting me away in a home. I was surprised to see how gorgeous of an apartment my son picked out and he got me all new furniture. Now, I'm the happiest I've ever been and I'm glad my son chose this place. It is certainly NOT a nursing home, but more like a fancy resort hotel. I don't have an ocean view apartment and I think I can live without it. There are so many other opportunities to see the beach at a distance or up close. The best part about this place is the activities. I've heard stories from my friends at other places who get treated like prisoners. I'm happy that there are fun activities where they practice safe distancing and sanitation to keep up us safe. Now to find a boyfriend!
