Ormond In The Pines

Ormond in the Pines was very clean and everybody was welcoming. The apartment that I saw was very cute. The staff who assisted me was very knowledgeable and very nice. It seemed like a place where there were plenty of activities. The dining area was very large and clean. I saw a library with plenty of books.

My number one choice would be Ormond in the Pines. I like best the amenities and the size of the one-bedroom room. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a courtyard, a lounge, a TV room, a theater, an exercise room, doctors on board, a nurse there during the day, storage units, and menus available a week ahead of time. They also have a beauty salon open all week, and they have a library, too. It's quite extensive.

We were a little disappointed in Ormond in the Pines. We would definitely not consider that a place we would want to live. We didn't really see too much of the staff. The apartments were nice, but not at the level of the other places we visited. The community areas, like the dining room and the entrance places, were a little bit small.

The Ormond in the Pines has nice walking trails with a lot of trees. They have a nice pool, a small kitchenette in the apartment, and a laundry room. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. They emailed several times back and forth, and I got good answers back and forth. It's about four to five miles from the ocean.

I visited the Ormond in the Pines. I didn't think that it was quite as attractive as the first one I went to, but overall it was very nice. We were able to see an empty apartment. The staff that I met there were very friendly. They have many things for them to do, and some of the residents were getting ready to get on a bus to go out for dinner. They take them places, they have a little library where they can read, they play games, they have a salon, they have washers and dryers they can use if they want to do their own laundry. Overall, it was nice and clean. They also have a courtyard, a swimming pool, they have places where they can gather to play cards or games, and they have a nice dining room.

Ormond in the Pines reminded me of a schoolhouse. It's all one level, and it seemed like it was a little bit of an older community. The person who gave me the tour was very nice, though. They had three meals a day and activities if you want to join in. The apartments were very small, but the place seemed very clean.

I took a tour or Ormond in the Pines, and my first impression was that it was welcoming. The grounds were gorgeous, and the pool looks very nice. The place was clean, and the residents seemed content and happy. Jenny was the name of the one who gave me the tour, and she was a very nice gal. The dining room was lovely; it looks very homey and very welcoming. I saw several postings of the activities that were going on, and it all looked nice, and interesting.

We went to see Ormond in the Pines. It's very beautiful, and it's very clean. The people were nice, and it's not too big or too overwhelming. It's just quaint and nice. We looked at the independent and also saw the assisted living area. It did not smell or anything. It's very clean. I couldn't try the food because I got there for the tour a little after lunch, but the dining area was nice and orderly. There were some residents just walking out of an activity when I got there. I didn't actually see it going on, but I did see activity rooms and stuff. The patients appeared to be happy and comfortable in their surroundings.

Everything is nice at Ormond in the Pines, and I love it. I love the setup, the staff, and I went to the independent living side. The outside of the dining area looked like it was 5 stars. They had a lot of activities, she explained everything to me, I really liked it, and if I had to make a choice, that would be my choice.

We have already moved into Ormond in the Pines. We are thrilled to be here. My husband and I have different health issues. While we're young in some sense of the word, my husband is becoming more dependent. He needs a little more protection and I need a little more support. However, instead of being busy with housework, grocery, and cleaning, I have more time for him and more time to be less frazzled. It is working very well. We love it. It is pleasant to the eye because it has been re-decorated, so it looks fresh and the colors are pleasing. They have wonderful staff members who communicate with the people and they give you choices. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. We have three rooms plus two bathrooms. Going from a three-bedroom, two-bath to this was a shock, but it was OK because we have an extra room. We have not participated in many of the activities, but they have great activities all the time. I love cards and they have different card games. They have a great staff, too. It is not perfect because it is full of human beings that aren't perfect, but on the other hand, I really think it is a wonderful community. It is where we need to be. We are really thrilled and we are happy. It is great.

I recently visited Ormond in the Pines, it is a beautiful community. The staff was very friendly. I made an appointment to have lunch, I was introduced to a table of great people and the food was amazing. I saw the model apartment , I was very surprised how big the 1 bedroom is, I love the fact they have full kitchens. I am very excited about moving in and look forward to all the fun activities and outings with new friends.

Ormond in the Pines' amenities and lunch were really good. The only drawback was that the rooms were a little small.

Ormond in the Pines' rooms were cheaper but way too small and didn't have a little kitchenette. They had small refrigerators, and that was it. To me, it was way too mixed up. There was a lot of room, and I would've never been able to remember where was where. It's a little choppy, and it would have been confusing to me. It was clean, and other than the size of the room, I didn't have a problem with it.

Ormond in the Pines was also very nice. I do remember the gal who gave us the tour there -- Dianne. My son and I came on behalf of my mother; we went there without an appointment, it was toward the end of the day, and Dianne just was so energetic and bubbly. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour or a better person to have given the tour. She was great. The rooms were fine. They just seemed awfully small. If you put a queen-sized bed in one of the bedrooms, I think it would be kind of hard to get in and out of it.

We searched for many retirement facilities particularly for those which offered good independent living and if need be the opportunity to be in assisted living without having to move to another location. Ormond in the Pines was all of this and much, much more. What struck us in considering a place to recommend to an elderly aunt was the immediate sense of family by the residents, the staff and visitors. People actually greeted others with a smile and happy comments about living there and the great care by the staff. No one is ignored here. Each person can find friends to make or people will approach them to join them for meals or games. Ormond in the Pines was the best place we ever could have found for our dear relative. She felt at home immediately and liked everyone and the meals as well. They genuinely care!! It may not be the newest building or glitziest place, but for warmth, tender caring and real friends Ormond in the Pines cannot be beat.

I visited Ormond in the Pines, and its residents were nice. The rooms were pretty standard. The staff was very friendly, and the food was good.

I went to visit Ormond in the Pines and the place was very nice, but expensive. It’s very clean. The room that they showed me was a single room and there was nothing in it. The people that I talked to were very nice. I saw everybody was having a fun time. Their dining area was nice and set-up like a restaurant.

Everything that we saw at Ormond in the Pines was OK, but it just doesn’t feel like we’re ready for something at this time. We liked that they have a pool. We saw an apartment, and it was adequate. Their dining room was restaurant-style and had a little menu. They showed us the activities calendar, which included game nights and things of that nature. They had a physical therapy room, which we felt was nice, and a hobby store that you could contribute to.

I visited Ormond in the Pines. It was fine. The rooms were fine, too. We saw the pool, the activity room, and the dining hall. The dining area was fine.

We liked Ormond in the Pines. It was very nice. The staff treated the residents very nicely, and they just did have a really good atmosphere. There was a lot of stuff that was within walking distance. It was located very well, and because it is close to 95, I could visit my family so easily. We were looking for something that would be close to 95, so that gave it an extra boost. They had everything. They had a puzzle room, a library, and so many things. My husband and I are not really active socially, but it looked like there were people who we would be able to socialize with. It wasn't all old people. We are old, but we are not "old-old." If they went on field trips or they did something that, we would probably go. We just don't do a lot because we don't like to drive at night.

The people during the tour were great. They were all very acceptable and seemed very competent. The only thing it did not offer was the ability to keep my parents together. My mother needs physical attention where my stepfather needs less. It was clean and safe, and the food was good. They had lots of activities. The overall ambience was nice; it was a homey place. I would recommend Ormond in the Pines if it's a good match.

We visited Ormond in the Pines, and we had lunch there. I wasn't too happy with the lunch, but other than that, the rooms and everything were nice. The person running the place was very congenial, and I enjoyed her. She showed us around. The only complaint I thought I have would be the food. I thought the rooms were large, and they seemed all right to me. The other thing that we didn't like was when we first walked in, it was like we were walking into a home where I liked to walk where there would be an entrance or some sort. However, I thought the couple that was running the place seemed to be helpful.

We chose Ormond of the Pines for my mom because of the amenities that it offers although she hasn’t moved in yet as we are waiting for an available apartment. They offer three meals a day and several activities all day long. The people that were there were friendly as well as the employees. The place is very clean and very nice. The room is spacious for one person.

I went to Ormond in the Pines. I thought that everybody adored the faculty and the faculty loved the people that live there. There’s a lobby, and the dining hall was right in the right hand side. It’s very, very nice and the chef came out and met us. They invited us to have a meal. The dining hall looked beautiful and they were getting ready for happy hour -- which is OK -- but my personal view is that elderly people shouldn’t be drinking. I could see that they really take pride in their dining hall because it’s newer. They have a presentation of the meal ahead of time out in the hallway to show you what you’ll be eating that day which is nice. The lower floor is the independent-living and the apartment was very nice. It was quite large and the bedroom was a good size. The bathroom was pretty good. The one thing I didn’t care for is the kitchenette. The kitchenette was so outdated. The stoves were like from back in the 1970s. Most of the residents don’t even use them. I don’t like their activity room for physical therapy. It’s very small and nobody was in it. They have creamy white carpeting in the apartment itself; I didn’t care for that. They just painted and the colors downstairs are very, very depressing colors like tans, dull greens, and dull oranges like old-fashioned 70s colors instead of pretty uplifting colors. The visitation was very nice. I met with people, and they seemed very happy there. They were meeting for dinner afterwards and that was very nice. They’re all friends and I like that because the warmth and the friendliness is number one.

Ormond In the Pines was very nice. I like it. The food was very good. The staff was nice. I had no complaints about what I saw. I'm not into playing bingo and stuff like that, but they had a lot of things going on. The rooms were small, but they were nice. What I like best about this place is the way they greeted me. They greeted me very well.

Ormond in the Pines is an older facility. It does not have the top of the line décor, but it's nice. The rooms were adequate. The staff and the people are very nice and that is what's important really.

Caring84952650

I was treated very nicely during my visit at Ormond in the Pines. They were very helpful. It’s a little bigger than the other facility I’ve visited and was homey. I saw one of the rooms -- very clean, nicely set up, and comfortable looking. The facility was very nice, very clean. The residents were happy, and there were a lot of activities. I saw a list of activities that were available, like there were fieldtrips and bingo.

I loved Ormond in the Pines so much. It was very clean, and it's really awesome. The tour that they gave me was really great. The old people sometimes were difficult to deal with, but the employees were so patient. They did it very diligently and nicely to accommodate their needs. They have a good skill in dealing with that. They have a lot of activities, so they keep everybody occupied. They invited me for lunch, and the food was very good. I really was impressed all the way.
