Spring Haven Senior Living in Winter Haven, FL
5.0

I would recommend Spring Haven Senior Living to others. The staff is wonderful. Communication with the family was great, they kept me well informed. Most of the meals my loved one enjoyed, but you can't expect everything to be like home.

Grace Manor at Lake Morton in Lakeland, FL
5.0

Everyone has been overwhelming welcome from the time I first went to get info. The application process and move in were easy and they worked with my schedule and allowed me to move my mothers belongings in on a weekend. I liked that everything was all inclusive and there wasn't added fees for extra services. All the staff has been friendly and seem to care about the residents. I like that they have mobile services that come into the building (eye dr, podiatrist, dentist) to do treatments. There's always a lot of activities and fun things they have planned for the residents. They have outside entertainment come in from time to time (people who sing and play instruments, the therapy horse & dog, and etc)
