"Assisted Living Facility Falls Short in Meeting Needs"

The place looked nice, but it didn't meet our needs. Some problems came up that the staff couldn't solve. They need to be more honest. Also, the entrance fee is too expensive. We mentioned this to them, but they couldn't help much.

"Affordable and Friendly Assisted Living with Cozy Personal Space"

We chose this community because it offered good value and had a special deal on his room. The staff members are very kind. The building is older but is kept in good condition. He has his own private space. Overall, the care is decent and affordable. However, the building is older and could use some updates.

"Friendly Place with Great Food and Beautiful Views"

This place was very friendly. The staff and residents were nice. The residents seemed happy, and a couple even told us they liked it there without us asking. We went for lunch and a tour. The lunch was served at a nice pace. The homemade bread and dessert were really delicious, and the meal was just the right amount. It was served on a table with a tablecloth and cloth napkins, which made it feel special. The rooms had a balcony with a great view of a small lake and were a good size. There were many good things about this place, including the location. However, this was the first place we looked at, so my parents decided to wait a bit before deciding and look at more places. Overall, we really liked a lot about this facility. It was a little older but seemed well kept. I wouldn't call it "fabulous," but it was definitely "very good" and worth checking out. It seemed like a good value for the cost.

"Weathered the Storm"

I've been doing okay since I moved here. The community is super nice, clean, and well-kept. We lost power during a storm for about a week, but the staff brought in generators, so it was all right. The food here is good, and I've been participating in some activities and social events. Everyone, from the residents to the staff, has been really friendly. I'd definitely recommend this community.

"Safe, caring, and convenient living for seniors; highly recommended."

Grandpa enjoys living here. The staff takes good care of him and checks on him often. They respond quickly and know what they're doing. The food is tasty with plenty of options. The community is secure at night. There's a nice TV room and laundry room. They even help with pets. The rooms and closets are spacious. The layout is easy to navigate. I'd suggest this community.

"Over Sold Us, But Overall My Father is Well"

I think we were promised too much during the interview. My dad is doing fine—he's healthy and active. The community is more independent, and they offer minimal help. If your loved one needs extra care, there's an additional fee. Overall, it's a work in progress, but I'd still recommend it.

"Poor upkeep and service at mom's living facility"

This place didn't impress me while my mom stayed there. They didn't take care of the old building properly. The elevators kept messing up and the floors weren't even. It smelt like mildew too. The food wasn't tasty and they barely had any activities. It seemed like they avoided spending money on the place. The longer mom stayed, the less the staff paid attention.

"Mom Happy at Brookdale, but Maintenance Could Improve"

My mom is being looked after well at Brookdale. She likes the food and they're always willing to adjust meals as needed. But, the upkeep of her apartment and the whole community isn't too good. They've had some changes in staff so I hope this might get better. She does have a neat apartment with a small kitchen though.

"Solid choice for mom, great staff and activities."

Mom enjoys meals in the dining room. Staff are nice and seem hardworking. Plenty of activities and outings offered. Pricing is reasonable; upfront about billing issues. Mom's apartment is nice; satisfied with the community. Comfortable with mom living here; not taken advantage of.

"We Recommend This Community"

My sister-in-law is staying at this community, and they're doing a great job taking care of her. Our family is happy with everything they've done. We believe it's a good environment for her. The care staff is responsive and attentive. I'd recommend this community.

"Mother's adjustment is slow, but care is good"

My mother is doing okay at Brookdale Lake Tavares. The place is nice, and the staff seems to treat her well, but she’s having a tough time getting used to it. I hope she’ll like it more as time goes on.

"Delicious Dining!"

My mom always says the meals are wonderful, and she has no complaints about her dining experience. I'm thankful that the chef ensures nutritious meals with a good variety for residents. The staff is pleasant and helpful, especially for my hard-of-hearing mother. Overall, everything is fine.

"Nice Staff, Place Getting Upgraded"

When we visited, the place was changing hands and undergoing renovations. Everyone was really nice and they gave answers to all our inquiries.

"Great place with friendly staff and lovely views!"

We had a fantastic lunch in the dining room before our tour. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, which impressed us a lot. The guests looked really happy in their surroundings, and the facility felt very comfortable. The one-bedroom apartment has a small kitchenette and a nice separate living room. It’s spacious and perfect for a senior who needs a little care. Plus, the beautiful view of Lake Tavares adds to the charm of this cozy place, which only has 91 guests. Our tour made us feel very hopeful that this could be a great option for our dad.

"Amazing staff and caring environment!"

This place is wonderful! The people here are great, friendly, and helpful. Unlike some other places, the staff really wants to work with older people and understands what they need. From the first contact to everyday interactions, the staff has been easy to work with, knowledgeable, and caring.

"Dad is Happy Living in his new home!"

Brookdale Lake Tavares used to be called Grand Court. I moved my dad here about a month and a half ago. From the first visit, I noticed how friendly and caring the staff are. The residents were laughing and enjoying the sunshine. My dad didn't want to move to a senior living place, but the sales and marketing person made sure he had lunch with other men living here. This helped a lot. My dad loves talking about WWII and enjoys the Veterans Club with other vets. The chef makes food my dad likes! I highly recommend this place.

"Decent Facility, Just Not For Me"

Several buddies and distant family members have stayed or worked at this assisted living home. It's a pretty good place, but it's just not my style! Thanks anyways.

"Better Communication Needed"

The place could be better at talking with each other and with us. Otherwise, it's mostly good.

"Friendly and Attentive Assisted Living with Spacious Apartments"

The place is neat, though carpets look old. Smell's good. Apartments are big, price's fair. Staff's helpful, calls dad by name. Overall, friendly and attentive. Dad likes more men and active residents here.

"Great Environment, Patient and Caring Staff"

My Dad lived alone for over 10 years. It was tough to get him to agree he needed someone to watch over him. We live 1500 miles apart. The staff at Grand Court were very accommodating during the check-in period and have continued to be since. My Dad has mild dementia and isn't always the easiest to deal with, plus he's used to living alone. The staff has been extremely patient with him. After several visits to the facility and talks with the management at Grand Court, I feel sure that Dad has acclimated and is well cared for.

"Friendly Staff and Good Value!"

I think they are a really good place. We were ready to move in, but we decided not to because of some things that happened. They offer good value. The staff was all very friendly. Angela was super nice and patient with us. We also liked the location a lot.

"No Financial Aid, Many Extras Not in Monthly Payment"

There's plenty you don't get for the monthly cost. They don't offer any help with payments. They claimed it's a 'private pay' place.

"Happy and Improved at Grand Court Tavares"

Our loved one is really happy here. They enjoy the food, and everything is going well. We've noticed they look and feel better. We’re very happy with Grand Court Tavares and would recommend it to anyone.

"Fantastic place for Mom!"

The staff is super friendly and remembers all the new residents' names right away. They must be well trained or really careful about who they hire. The staff always has smiles and is very polite to both residents and visitors. I worked in healthcare for over 15 years, visiting many places, and this one is the best I’ve ever seen. They have a booklet of activities and really encourage residents to join in. There’s even a library run by residents; one of them asked my mom to help because they knew she used to be a librarian. My mom's apartment is really nice, and they keep it very clean. She’s only been there a week but is already getting comfortable. I haven’t found anything negative, and I’ve been trying to. I believe my mom's quality of life will be great here. I can already see a positive impact on her. I’m glad she chose this community because it’s the one I would have picked for her. My family fully supports her choice. I would recommend this community to anyone.

"Dad loves it there"

We checked out 6 places in Pinellas and Lake Counties. This is a big place with 110 apartments and many services. It feels neutral, not too girly. There are still more women than men living there. The place is super clean with no bad smells. They are always painting the halls and renovating the rooms. The view from the lakeside rooms, with a private terrace, is amazing. Dad likes watching the fishermen at the lake and will try it soon too. The staff is friendly and attentive. They check on residents at night and during meals. If you miss a meal, they come looking for you.

"Assisted living not needed, fragrance was annoying"

Assisted living wasn't right for us yet. Plus, the smell bothered me.

"Nice place, great staff, big but not brand new"

This is a nice place with great staff. It’s not the newest facility, but it’s very spacious.
