Osprey Manor

We had a good tour at Osprey Manor. We met some of the residents there and they seemed very engaged and happy. The rooms were clean. The lobby area was clean. They had an elevator, and they had a lot of amenities to offer. We really liked the way that the meals were handled, how it felt almost like a restaurant rather than like cafeteria-style. Most of the residents choose to just order their dinner and pick it up and take it back to their rooms rather than dining in in the evenings. The staff was very helpful while we were there. However, they didn't get back to us and kind of left us hanging. I felt like they were really pushing us towards the studio apartment because that's what they had open. They did their job, they just didn't go above and beyond.

Laundry Room Washer and Dryers have been broken off and on since Dec of 20220 and need to be replaced. Very difficult if disabled to get things cleaned if at all. Very Unsanitary

Osprey Manor was a very nice place. It was very informal, which I liked a lot. I met a lot of the residents and all of them seemed nice and friendly. They talked to me like I was already part of the family. They took me on a tour through the main building where some of the apartments were. It looked like they had just done some renovations, like new washers and dryers. They were set up like a laundromat but they didn't cost anything. They had 3 meals a day. I saw the dining room, I met the chef, and it seemed the food was really good. It was home cooking in a restaurant type thing. There were beautiful desserts like cakes and things, and they do those kinds of things every day. They had quite a large community room with a pool table and some really big chairs. They do movie nights. They also had a computer area where you're free to use the computers. There was a nice library. Some people came in to entertain and to give talks. There was a nice visiting room with tables and chairs and you could have birthday parties there. The apartments that I saw were very nice. They already had an apartment ready for me and it had a full kitchen, a living room, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a kitchen area, and a dining area. The staff was lovely. The lady who gave me the tour was very nice and she took me all around the whole place. It was an older place and it was kept up well, but it needed some more particularly on the outside.

I visited Osprey Manor. The people that I met seemed nice. They did a good job explaining the place, and they were friendly. The room layout was just way too small. They were not big enough to fit the size of the furniture that we wanted to put inside the room. The layout was just not quite what I was looking for my mom. The dining area looked nice, but you would have to walk to the dining area. The surrounding area was pretty close to a neighborhood. I'd rather not have it the way it was laid out because it was real close to houses, and I didn't feel like it had adequate security.

My first consideration for planning to move to Osprey Manor was the expense. They were the most inexpensive that I could find, yet the building, community, and the food are all very good. The staff also seemed very good. Everybody was very accommodating. It just seemed like a nice place, and the location was centrally located in Lakeland. It's easy enough to get around when you go to the lake, shopping, and whatnot. They're a little shy on amenities, but they have guest-led activities. They play pinochle and bingo. There are special events during the holidays where they'd have special meals and invite the families. The outdoor area is very nice, the building is well kept. It's 2-3 blocks away from Lake Parker. There are fishing piers out there. They have outdoor tables with umbrellas over them for seating, so it's secure to be outside on a 100-degree weather. There's adequate parking. I had two meals there. The place is very clean, fresh, well-kept, and painted.

I currently stay here in Osprey Manor. I have not been here that long, but we have our meals at 8:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., and at 3:30 p.m. We have our bed linen, and towels done for us. The staff is very good. Everybody's very friendly and very nice. When you first move in or come in, you are quarantined for a week. The food is quite good. Because of Covid, we haven't been doing very much. I haven't been here very long. Right now, we just go to public on Sunday or one day we go to Wal-Mart. We also go to doctor's appointments.
