Eustis Senior Care

Reviewer#ET0913c

I toured Eustis Senior Care. They're doing a good job taking care of the patients that are there, but it's not for me. The location was great because I could walk through a park, to the lake, go shopping, to restaurants, to church, and to the library. It's in the perfect location as far as I am concerned, but it's more of a nursing home and memory care. Everything is locked. The staff was very nice and helpful, and I think she realized that I was not going to be one of the residents. When I met her, I think she was thinking that I was looking for my mother or an older relative who needed memory care. I'm sure they had activities and everything. I was there at 2:00 in the afternoon also but they had already finished lunch and the patients that were there were either with a wheelchair or walkers, and they were just pretty much sitting around in the big room. Some residents were in bed. As far as I am concerned, they are all elderly and have dementia of some type. It's an older facility. They have a capacity of 30 people, and they have 25 residents at this time. The rooms are small. The space is cramped. The front gate is locked. They have an alarm on the front door. Some of the rooms were locked and except for two, they're all double occupancy. I feel sorry for the people but I'm not in the position of sharing a small cramped space with another person who is not going to be conversing or participating in activities or anything of that nature. If I took my own computer or my own TV or my own things and paid to have them hooked up and everything, I guess I could have them, but there's not that much space to have anything like that. She only had one room that was in my opinion large enough to be a single room where you could have a TV and a computer there. Some of the facilities have a computer for the residents to use free of charge. I think they keep them locked because it's on the second floor. They have no elevators, so it's up two flights of stairs, and the second floor is where the men stay. If I were in a single room, I would be one woman living on the floor where the men stay, and I would have to go downstairs to take a shower. So, it's not something that I would envision myself staying there. I think that for the population that they have, they do a good job, it's just not for me. So, I don't want to give them a bad rating. I just wanted to know the situation. It's a good facility for the type of people that need that kind of care.

I went to Eustis Senior Care. The staff seemed attentive and very nice. The location needed a definite upgrade. The rooms and the dining area were kind of small.

We visited last week to find a place for my aunt who is currently in an assisted living facility. We were impressed with the staff and this will be closer for us to visit.

All the attendants at Eustis Senior Care were visible and walking around. It's clean, nice, and neat. Everything's tidy. Everyone seemed friendly, very informative and answered all my questions. I liked the fact that it's a locked facility. It's secured. They had the code as you go in and once the door closes, you have to have a code to open it, which I liked. No one can wander out. I didn't see a courtyard. When you first walk up to the entry, there's a little patio area that's gated with a lock. The rooms were pretty big, had a nice sized bathroom, with two beds. They were clean. They were just watching TV because it was early in the morning. The dining room wasn't big, but it was suitable and nice for that size. The room I saw had a nice scent to it. There was no odor in the whole facility at all.

My step-father moved into Eustis Senior Care. They were willing to work with us with what we had, and the situation we had. They are very caring and I like the place, the way they looked, the attention that it was given, and the explanation of the service itself. So far, I liked the way they are open, whatever time we need to go and visit, and always willing to work with us and help us in whatever they can. The staff was very pleasant, and very polite. And I'm for what I see when I look in, very caring with their patients. It is clean. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable for what it's needed.

I did a tour of Eustis Senior Care. I didn't like it. I was turned off by it as soon as I went in. They were nice enough, but it wasn't where I'd want to put my mom. The staff was nice, and I only met one. It was not clean. It was very run down and has very small rooms. It's very overcrowded looking. I wouldn't have her there. The whole thing just wasn't right for me. It might be good for somebody else, but it just wasn't what I'm looking for.
