Experience Senior Living

The pool, meals, that you can have family join you for meals, and even spend a few nights with you at the facility. Yes, we would recommend The Gallery to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

Take time to understand the staffing structure during all times of day...not just during the typical 9-5. Always be an advocate for your loved one! If something seems off, ask leadership about it. Understand the habits of the potential roommate if you're considering a shared space. Also, understand that roommate's family routine.

Thank you for connecting us to Demeree Crossing. I don’t think we would have found them on our own. We feel our parents are in good hands.

Parents complain about the variety and quality of meals. Mom has been moved to memory care. Laundry does not always come back to the right person. Staff is helpful and friendly. Cost has been increasing.

Facility is clean and bright and most of the time staff are very pleasant. We have concerns about laundry, which keeps getting lost and misdirected. I have witnessed no enrichment activities but an told they take a place.

They are seem kind and loving. However, a lot of my visits are on the weekend, and it takes forever to get in because they seem to always be understaffed. Dad is in memory care....someone has to unlock the door every time I go in or leave

We liked that it was newer than some of the other ones and room was nicer. They really need to invest in more comfortable seating in their activities room. What 80 year old wants to sit in a hard folding chair to watch a movie? Needs more landscaping and a more pleasant outdoor area.

The food is very expensive and they give the person $[removed] a month to spend on their food and there's nothing on the menu that they can get reasonably priced everything's à la cart you order a pork chop you order corn that's extra. You order a potato that's extra. You order a drink that's extra. A dessert is extra so I think the pricing of the food is out of hand even though they give you a complementary breakfast, it's still, not what we were told in. They have great activities now they get more and more each as they go along. If the person participates some activities they get a little ticket at the end of the month they use their tickets to get door prizes, which is kind of cool. And as it goes for value of money, it's a little expensive. I'm hoping after his year being there, they don't raise the rent up higher, but he enjoying it and when it comes down to it, that's all that really matters and he's starting to make some friends and getting a little bit more active. And in the past, if we've had any issues with anything they get right on top of it so that's a good thing also. The facilities and the staff are nice. They hold nice conversations with my uncle but again they have to do that kind of stuff because you're paying them. Basically I have seen the Director get involved in different activities and she is very involved that kind of stuff so they are good that way. The Gallery also has assistant living and memory care which I'm told the assistant care and the memory care are excellent from the EMT standpoint and when we've had to go in and talk to them at the assistant living in the memory care, they have been super super nice. I am friends with an EMT that she serves all the facilities there and she does say out of all the facilities that is the nicest one and the people there are the nicest so that is good thing to know.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are great at helping the residents whenever needed.

Current management-staff is much better compared to a year ago. Resident since [date removed].

Overall, a great community. Highly recommend independent living. For assisted living they are wonderful if you need minimal assistance, such as meals and help with medicines. If you need more skilled nursing, such as insulin shots, or help with mobility, this may not be the place for you.

I would say, the sales staff will tell you anything to get your business. Once you've paid and moved in the issues begin immediately. Bed linen and personal laundry services did not occur for over two weeks despite successive calls and took an entire six weeks to get properly straightened out. To this day, I am being overcharged for services not received and cannot get a detailed bill. The accounting department will blindside you with cost increases with no explanation and getting an explanation takes weeks - again with no detailed bill. I would say to whomever, be cautious, very cautious and get all details in writing up front - especially care costs.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is kept in good condition. Sometimes the menu items can be less than desirable, but they have some other options you can always get. Hamburger, hotdog, or grilled cheese are always available. My folks love the breakfast.

facility and food - good!

Staff is 98% - Lack of a brochure/info pamphlet - Had to ask various staff questions ex: laundry day, cleaning day

Most staff are very helpful. The food is usually good. The building is well kept. Happy there is a great pool and activities are well arranged.

Overall we have been happy with HC. There have been issues with bathing happening as scheduled. This seems to be better last couple of weeks. Sometimes there has been questions about medication administration. Not sure If that is due to My dad's confusion or an issue with the facility. I would like to see a family committee to have to take issues to or verify if others experience the same.

My loved one passed away. She did enjoy the faculty, except for the food availability and timing, and some meds issues, while she was there though. And they were made known the issues and hopefully have addressed them. I would recommend this facility to others.

I would highly recommend the Gallery. Memory card is a tough community but the staff & management always listen & address problems or issues right away. The staff always come and get Dad if he's not at meals, get him for activities. He is safe and that is a comfort to us. Everyone is just super friendly. The menu and meals are good, dad has no complaints. His birthday was in March and they made him a special meal and a birthday cake. The only downside is I wish they stuck to scheduled showers times and sometimes his laundry goes missing or mixed up with someone else's.

What our family has liked the most about The Gallery at North Port is the friendliness of the staff. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would maybe recommend them to other families. It is very expensive, sometimes we go in and the room does not smell fresh but I understand that they cannot clean every second. But for the cost I still have to buy supplies to help clean the room.
