We're very pleased with how things have turned out at Belvedere Commons! We had a somewhat difficult situation where we had to place two loved ones with different care needs, but they handled everything very well! The staff here is friendly and professional, and they take great care of the residents. I visit very often, and I'm always impressed by the level of interaction I see between the staff and the residents!

My mother has only been here for a couple months, but so far it has been awesome. The staff are very caring and attentive people. Management is terrific. Every time we visit my mother she is happy and smiling.

My mom received excellent care over a three year period in the memory care unit until she passed away last month. Everyone I encountered during her stay was encouraging and professional, often going way beyond expectations. Staff and administration allowed me to decorate her room so it was bright, cheerful, and filled with some of her favorite things. I spent a lot of time there, especially over the last few months, and I am so grateful for the loving care she was provided. Family members were welcomed and treated with respect, kindness, and compassion. My mom was happy there. She seemed to enjoy the food most days.. Housekeeping was amazing, but when residents ' needs were urgent, housekeeping had to wait for brief periods. Activities were available for all levels of functioning. She was fortunate to be in this caring community. Thanks.

Having my father in law here has been a blessing. Caring for him at home became increasingly difficult and the entire staff made the transition experience a good one. The admissions counselor was very supportive and provided some great, compassionate supportive counseling to family members that struggled with this at first. He is healthier than he has been in months, cared for, safe and we have peace of mind. Well worth the cost of care.

I've had experience with Belvedere Commons in the past with a loved one, and I'd give them top marks across the board, they handled everything as well as you could expect. The place is well kept and clean, and the staff do a good job looking out for the people who live here.

Our experience with Belvedere Commons of Franklin has been a very good one so far. They've really gone out of their way to help her get comfortable and settled in, and even introduced her to a few people they thought she'd get along with socially. It is a nice looking place, and the people are all very friendly.

we liked this facility. great and caring staff. good set-up. clean and tidy. we were impressed by flexible feeding schedules. very nice.

We were looking for a place for our uncle, who was a World War II veteran. From the time we walked through the front door of Belvedere Commons, our uncle loved it, and so did we. The facility is lovely, the staff was caring and very professional, and the accommodations were great. They treated our uncle like a "HERO" and we would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a first class facility for their loved one.

Good referral

Beautiful facility and grounds.

I just wanted to say how friendly all of the staff are at Sterling House when I toured. We are looking at placement for our mom and feel that we have found her new home.

When you enter Sterling House of Spring Hill you will find large, open and well lit spaces. The staff has been an answer to prayer. They gently encouraged and succeeded in getting my parents to participate in extra activities and mom and dad love it! I can now spend more time with and enjoying my parents. We know that mom and dad are well cared for at Sterling House.

My Mother lived here for three years !!! She was always very happy here!! The staff was excellent and always there to help! She loved the food and the fact that it was so small and quaint!!!

So far, I am very satisfied with Sterling House. It provides a safe, clean and friendly place for my husband. I hope he will soon become involved in the activities that are provided. He says he will. It takes his a while to "warm up" to new surroundings.

The service our loved one has been getting is excellent. We’ve had the food and it’s very good. There is enough parking so that it’s not a problem. There aren’t any real problems with the laundry service. It’s a friendly and clean community.

Christi very helpful. Deerwood is 100% ALF. Family established and operated. She no doubt reflects the policy of the owners that residents are #1. Truly sincere in her interest in the community, people, and employees. Facilities and services are much the same. Medical: nurse on duty 24/7. Chambrel uses LRPN,

Well I must Say, Thank you "A Place for Mom.com" they helped so much in getting the process started & helping me find the perfect new home for Mother. Richard Thomas is GREAT! I was a bit afraid of how my Dear Mother would react to moving from her own home to Sterling House. Well I am so very happy, as is my Mother & the entire family. She is having a blast! She loves her new home. She loves the staff as do I. Laura in Ft Myers & Carol in Lehigh Acres are the BEST!! I could go on & on about everything & everyone else but you see my ratings, 5 Star+... Mom has only been there a few weeks now, but I am so pleased with my choice. THANK YOU STERLING HOUSE STAFF :-)

Very friendly staff made me feel welcome and answered all my questions. Placed emphasis on giving my parents their individual preferences and not just making them conform to 'group norms'. I asked a lot of 'tough' questions and the staff was candid in their responses +++ They did not make me feel like I was being unreasonable with my 'what if' questions which I had an idea what the answers would be just given the nature of the business. I wanted to communicate how important it is to DAD that he be 'in charge' when it comes to his care. Diane was AMAZING +++. I greeted her with a professional handshake and departed with a friendly hug. Thank you. 'A place for Mom ' for the referral. I know I have to 'shop arround' as in the end it's not about me, It is my responsibility to gather facts and information as we all know 'dad is in charge' not you and I. David Charles Osborne Tallahassee, Florida PS: My first choice is to convince mom and dad to move in to my home. That remains my highest recommendation to them. So far I have only looked at ONE facility and Sterling House is now in 2nd place as far as my '2cents' worth of recommendations are concerned.

Very nice place. Great location with a beautiful garden and courtyard area. The staff were very nice. I was greeted immediately and enjoyed an informative tour by a very knowledgeable and polite sales person. The apartments are very nice, clean, spacious and updated. I decided to bring my father back to tour and will definitely recommend Summit at Venice.
