Senior Management Advisors

I am a new resident. I have found our community to be welcoming and friendly. I have made friends quickly. I enjoy siting in the lobby chatting with the residents. My apt is just the right size for all my furniture and it is quiet. The staff takes good care of all of us.

Our parents moved into Grand Villa (GV) 1 1/2 years ago. At that time, I wrote a 5 star review because the staff was so instrumental with welcoming our parents into GV. Literally: about 8 staff members came throughout our move-in day just to introduce themselves and welcome our parents. We recently had to move our dad into Memory Care. This is such a hard thing to do, but the staff worked with us through every step. They realize how hard it is to separate two people who are still in love and have been together for so many years. They have gently helped our mom with learning to navigate to see my dad every day, if she wants. I get photos of my dad in activities and when my parents are together. I am very impressed with the staff at The Villas (Memory Care). They work hard every day to keep all the residents engaged in activities throughout the day. They speak kindly to residents and help them, as needed. There are some very special people that work there; would love to thank them all!

What we like the most about the community is that I can feel very confident that Mom is going to be well taken care of there they stay in touch with me they send me pictures of events that she does it just makes me feel better knowing they really care it's the best place that we could have found for Mom. We recently placed my mother-in-law at Waters Edge in Bradenton Florida. She was living in another facility under Independent living and had moved there without ever researching her options... So in December of last year when we visited my husband and myself took her around to other facilities to allow her to explore all of her other options. When we left from our visit at Waters Edge it was unanimous between the three of us that when it came to the next level of care it would be at Waters Edge.... The first person that we came into contact with was Brandon in our opinion he has to be the most competent, caring, amazing person that we have ever met in our lives...... It takes a special kind of person to work in that field and that job was definitely made for him..... And every employee from[removed name] who is the director of nursing to [removed name] who is the Life enrichment assistant who sends the event calendar to us every month so that we can passively encourage mom to join in the events. Its a joint adventure to ensure Mom is meeting new people and making new friends. Mom was never a social butterfly she worked all her life and then took care of her family after work...So she had a tendency of secluding herself and never enjoying her life after retirement.... The employees at Waters Edge passively nudge Mom to participate in all the activities.... And they periodically send photos of her participation it is a joy to see her active. They communicate to us consistently about Mom and how she is doing.....they definitely go above and beyond with their residents... We live a thousand miles away from Mom and just knowing she is at Waters Edge affords us to rest easy every night...If you are looking at Waters Edge for your loved one you can't go wrong choosing them.....Water's Edge is a cut above the rest..... We are so grateful that we found them.....

I have lived here 15 years and my dog for 7 years. The people at Grand Villa make it home. They are my family and there is a lot of love here. The residents look out for one another. The staff cares and goes out of their way for us.

Grand Villa is a resort for people in need of some extra help or independent living with help available if needed. It Is a very family oriented place that has high expectations and values for the people that they take care of. There’s always someone to help with kindness and patience. We have a very unique family situation at Grand Villa. The family is 1400 miles away and Grand Villa has stepped up to accommodate and take care of our loved one. There is always someone on call and can answer any question in regards to any situation that arises. They make the patient feel secure and wanted. Staff members go above and beyond to care for their residents. Grand Villa provides amenities such as a hair salon or exercise room along with daily activities to mention a few. They provide transportation for group outings. Excellent nutritious food is provided as it is freshly prepared. Grand Villa sets up a personalized plan for their resident that meets the residents needs for physical ,

Grand Villa is a welcoming community. The decor and newness is impressive. They offer a variety of activities and the residents were really enjoying themselves. Highly recommend a visit to experience it for yourself if you are looking into senior living.

After my sister had a health crisis, Elan Manatee was there for us! Their executives, [name removed] and [name removed] were quickly on the job finding us the correct apartment and move in date that fit my sister’s needs. What a blessing they have been for our family! The staff is professional and friendly and they provided such a warm and loving place why my sister was recovering. I highly recommend Elan Manatee.

Water's Edge is the BEST ever, it's clean everyone is so nice and the food is great, but the service is a little slow. We would certainly recommend this development to live in. I know after looking at fourteen Different sites, this one wins hands down.

It's a smaller community but everyone here is very close. It's a great community to live in. The help is wonderful and everyone is friendly. I've been very happy here.

Tuscan gardens is a Beautiful place to live. The residents are so welcoming, and they keep us busy with a variety of activities. The food is great. It is a big decision to transition into an assisted living, but I’m so glad I found the right place.

My mother was at Elan Manatee for 3 months. The treatment she received from the caregivers , [name removed] and [name removed] was excellent. My mother said everyone was very pleasant helpful , kind and patient with her she exercised everyday and played bingo she was happy there. Unfortunately it was a family matter that forced me to move her. I would highly recommend [name removed] for anyone looking for a great place for a loved one you won’t be disappointed! Thank you to everyone who came. I had contact with my mother!

I recently toured the community for my grandmother. We were unsure if she needed assisted living or memory care so we toured the entire community. The assisted living was beautiful. We were nervous to know that memory care might be an option for her. The memory care unit was just as beautiful as the assisted living. They had very engaging activities and the courtyard was so perfect for residents that like to be outside. We are excited to show her this beautiful community.

Such a great assisted living community! The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely caring. They make the whole place feel warm and welcoming. Couldn’t ask for a better team looking after loved ones.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this place honestly deserves it. The assisted living community here is wonderful, and the biggest standout is the staff. Every single person my family and I interacted with has been friendly, patient, and genuinely caring—not the forced kind of nice you sometimes run into, but people who really seem to like what they do. They greet residents by name, they take the time to chat, and they never make anyone feel rushed. You can tell they pay attention to the little things, like remembering someone’s favorite snack or checking in just to make sure the day is going smoothly. The building is clean and comfortable, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey feel—but the staff is what makes it special. If you’re looking for a place where your loved one will be treated with kindness and respect, this is definitely it.

This place is great- wonderful staff, lovely to talk with and very knowledgeable. I had a great tour and felt very comfortable here. Very clean, beautiful place to be. Would definitely recommend to others!

The staff is friendly and helpful, good communication skills. Food is average. I would recommend it. My parents are happy there.

We were welcomed with open arms the minute we walked in the door! My mother is well taken care of by everyone in the facility. They offer many activities and encourage residents to attend. They all love bingo!! Entire facility is always spotless! My mother is 91 has adjusted very well and no complaints. We love Elan Manatee!

It’s an excellent assisted living facility. Our dear friend Hans was there for 18 months and they took really good care of him. He loved the food and social programs. He also loved the happy hours on Fridays

Clean facility, kind staff, knowledge and helpful administrators. Well equipped amenities and apartments.

I really enjoy the food and the service the kitchen and chef provide. Housekeeping is exceptional they take very good care of my clothing after washing. I like my room accommodations. I have made it home. it is private and comfortable. Every last staff member is a caring person.
