Vitality Living

My family went to every assisted living place in a 30 mile radius from Brooksville/Brookridge. Every place we went we were told of all of the activities they had and the good meals etc. I saw some places that had beautiful chandeliers and very well written brochures promising great things. I won't tell you about the mold on the ceilings we saw in some places or the strange smells and dark hallways, but I will tell you that Atria at Evergreen Woods was the ONLY place that had people outside of their rooms doing the activities. When my mom's grandchildren came to visit with her, they were able to go over to the swimming pool and swim. She always has a choice to join the residents in the assisted living area or not. My brother and his family have taken advantage of this and have been able to spend some enjoyable holidays with my mom. My mom started in assisted living but when she began roaming and became a flight risk, we were able to put her into the memory care unit. She seems to love it. We have dropped in unexpectedly and watched her singing, or we have missed her completely because she was on a bus trip. The food is very good, the dining room not so big that she is intimidated and she talks to the other residents who are living at the same facility. I believe she is safe here and I would recommend Atria at Evergreen Woods anytime.

My first encounter with Appletree Court was when we moved my in-laws there from out of state several years ago. We were absolutely amazed at the level of love and care our loved ones received there. It was totally professional yet very much like a family. They knew our names, got to know our stories, and they understood our hopes and dreams for our family members. We grew close to the administrators and many of the staff. We recently moved my mother there from out of state and it was solely base don the wonderful experience we had the first time. We feel like were back home!

Crystal Creek has been a good experience for my grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. They have a memory care section that caters specifically to Alzheimer's. The activities and amenities are specialized for memory problems. Very positive experience so far. Thank you.

I cannot begin to express how the staff at Aspen Village has made me feel regarding my mother residing there. The care giving team is exactly that - a "TEAM". They work together to make sure everyone is comfortable and if not, their priority is to make it happen. My mother (who turned 90 in March), was going to the Adult Daycare at Aspen 3 days per week, for over a year and loved it. She got sick shortly after her birthday and had to be hospitalized for 6 days and was sent to a rehab center. Upon hearing of her rehabilitation, 2 of the staff members went to visit her, took a card from some of the ladies my mother dined with and a bouquet of purple and white lilies. Talk about tears flowing! To know my mother was cared about that much is truly heartwarming. This is truly a place that cares about their residents and their families. Thank you ALL for your astounding work. May God reward you for the compassion you exhibit.

All I can say about this facility is WOW! I would honestly say this is as close to a 5 star hotel as they get with all the amenities available for senior's enjoyment and socialization. [Name removed] was very informative and caring about our budget and a pleasant to meet with. This would be the #1 choice hands down, if the finances were not an issue for our situation.

Loved the property and the availability - [name removed] the sales manager was great!

My mother first entered Thrive in Athens, GA 2 years ago in assisted living them moved to memory care after breaking her hip. After almost a year in memory care she moved back with us to St Simons Island and she now resides at Thrive Frederica. A lot of research lead me to Thrive and it has been everything we expected and more. It would be awfully hard to find a better facility.

My parents were residents here from July 2017 until March, 2019. They lived in another facility from December 2015-July 2017. The difference was night and day. The staff that cared for them was both caring and compassionate. My father passed away on 1/31 and the respect that the staff showed as his body was wheeled out by the funeral director will remain in my heart forever. My mother moved to Memory Care following daddy's passing. I could not have asked for more!!!! The staff in MC took such good care of her until she passed on 3/14. The owners are hands on. I could simply not have taken care of my parents without their help. THE STAFF IS AMAZING. Note that there was a comment regarding a rude staff. The ONLY person that was ever rude to me was the current "executive" director who as yet to reach out and express condolences for my loss. However, I chose to not let that tarnish the 5 - STAR rating. THANK YOU BRICKMONT!

Mom has done so much better since living at the Gardens and has asked many times "Can I stay here?' The staff has been so helpful since this is a new experience for our family.

Taking Mom and Dad there, Think this will be best option.

From the first time we visited Appletree for my parents, we felt so comfortable and at home! The management, staff, and caregivers love their calling to assist residents. Most have worked for many years at Appletree. The facility is spotless, and the staff truly CARES. The food is delicious and plentiful. The social programs are thoughtfully planned. Appletree is good value as everything is included in the price except supervised medication (I like the availability of washer/dryer for residents’ use for their personal laundry...linen laundry is included). Everyone is attentive to requests made and willing to help provide personalized care for my parents. My parents consider Appletree their home, and I think it is even better than “home” for their stage in life.

Beautiful facility and relatively well priced. The fenced in courtyard, new building, nicely appointed apartments, etc were appealing.

Appletree is quite simply the best facility the DFW area. My parents who are both 90 moved in 2 months ago and we have not been disappointed. The staff is simply amazing, the place is spotless and fresh, the food served hot and delicious, and their apartment is perfect for the 2 of them. I am so thankful to have found this wonderful home for my beloved parents. [Name removed].

My wife has been a resident, in a studio apartment, since [date removed]. The staff, from administrators to caregivers, is outstanding. The staff welcomed my wife with friendliness and care when she moved in. They helped us with the submission process and have continued to address our needs. They have encouraged my wife to be involved in as many activities as she wishes. The food, cleanliness and caretaking is great. Whenever we have a request, the administrative staff is never defensive but simply states that "We will take care of it." I would highly recommend Appletree Court as a place your loved one can be cared for and can be as active as he or she wishes.

Great, friendly community! Nice and clean community with lots to offer. Higher number of male residents than most communities which is important to my father.

Appletree Court was recommended to us by my daughter's neighbor who had a parent there for a couple of years. My wife entered the facility on [date removed]. Since then, we have only had positive experiences. For instance, anytime I have asked something on behalf of my wife, I get a simple reply like, "We will take care of it." The caretakers are friendly and I believe that is a reflection of the friendliness of the Administrative Staff. This facility was an answer to our prayers. I would highly recommend this facility if you are searching for residence for a loved one.

Excellent Q&A session with [name removed] and tour of the generous and cheerful facilities.

We looked at a lot of facilities and Atria Stonybrook was our choice. Staff were friendly, residents were happy, facility was clean, food was good. The apartment was just what our family member needed. Lots of opportunities for residents to do activities in and out of the building. Perfect choice.

I cannot say enough good things about Thrive Assisted Living! This is a wonderful facility in which to place your loved ones. My father has been in Thrive for 2 years. I loved it from the minute I walked in the door. The place is beautiful and all of the staff are very friendly and treat everyone with great respect and kindness. They have lots of activities and try to keep interaction between the residents and the staff. My Dad is very happy here and loves that the staff is always willing to help him immediately when he approaches them with a problem. I know I never have to worry when I am away because I know Dad is in good hands.

Great staff, food, activities, & have made many resident friends
