Mariposa

We have nothing to compare this facility with, but we have been very satisfied with our experience. Our apartment is comfortable, the dining experience is good, the housekeeper does a good job, and we only tried the transport car once, but we were very satisfied. Everybody is friendly.

.I liked Mariposa very much The staff, nurses and administration in both places were very communicative and caring.

I have lived here at Mariposa for over a month now and I am pleased to write a good review. The community is beautiful, there are always great activities happening to keep me busy, and it is exceptionally clean. I have traveled a lot in my lifetime and stayed at five-star hotels, and this community is fairly comparable to that.

I think this is about as good as it gets. So, I would rate each category of care a 5 except for Quality of care as there is none in Independent living. Friendly and welcoming residents. Quite a few couples. Great event planner. Apartment sizes are quite adequate, but small closet space.

Don’t let your eyes deceive you! Grounds are kept well, interior design beautiful, and that’s about it! Spending money on a luxury-like resort! Meals - same thing everyday, stale, if you’re late- you’re not getting a meal! Hygiene- if you’re in assisted living, you pay for care- which is a minimum of two showers a week. Lucky if you even get one! No staff and they make excuses! Laundry- once a week, if you forget to put your laundry bag out- you’re out of luck. And count your blessings if you get everything back! Or you might even get someone else’s clothes! Housekeeping- once a week. Hopefully you have not made a big mess, or that person gets so mad! And the nerve of you to stay in your apartment when he/she comes to clean. I mean can’t you just take a nap in the hallway! Staff- there are some decent staff like some aides and med techs, but most recently a lot of them are quitting. In fact, there’s hardly any more staff! Save your money and RUN FAST!

I do not know how it could be any better than this. Residents and staff are friendly and welcoming. Staff go out of their way to make sure residents have what they need / want. Food is better than one could expect for a facility of this nature. Facility is very clean. It would be a challenge to find something to complain about here.

My loved one is currently a resident at Mariposa and the experience has been pretty good so far. The cleanliness and friendliness is good. The quality of care and staff is good, also. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

We've had a great experience with independent living at Mariposa. The staff is friendly. My dad likes the food. It's clean. And there are many activities to choose from.

The independent living area is beautiful. While it's listed as a gated community, the gates are always up during the day so that anyone can drive in. The assisted living entrance has pots with dead plants in them. The trees in the parking lot are so overgrown, it is difficult to get out of ones car. There really is no "ambassador" service and most people who move in are left to find others to meet and talk with. It's very sad. When it was Atria, it was more inviting and people seemed to care a bit. Now, it's very disheartening when we visit my father. People who have cams in their room are told to post it on their doors. We do my father's laundry because often items were missing. Others visitors take their loved ones' laundry home - as do we. They had said they were switching to a better cable service - that was nearly a year ago. People have issues with phone calls - their only lifeline to their families. It's very sad.

The only negative about this community is that we feel that they are short staffed. When my loved one needed assistance we felt like he had to wait to long for assistance. I would recommend this community.

The staff here is so kind and genuinely cares for the residents here. They are so attentive to our mother, she is being so well cared for and that is the first best thing about Mariposa. The second best thing is the food, that is the best ever. They go all out when it comes to the meals, the have steaks and lamp chops and lobster. It is incredible and the community is just beautiful.

The staff are really great at working with my loved one who can be difficult to work with. They try really hard to assist with daily living activities for them. [name removed] has answered every single one of my questions, and has been available to talk through concerns over the next stages of my loved one's care.

Mariposa is a wonderful community and I love it here. They offer a variety of activities here like current event talks, TED talks, trivia game shows and a lot of other cognitive challenges. They have a full gym here, movies everyday, we are kept very very busy. The meals and dining service has some issues right now because of the short staffing which we know everyone is struggling with. They are searching for a new director over the kitchen staff, so they dining service time can take awhile to get the food, and the quality of meals have struggled a little bit. However it still beats cooking everyday and I am still happy with the meals.

We chose Mariposa because of the cleanliness of the facility and overall it is a beautiful place. The staff and everyone we met were all extremely friendly. I am having a hard time reaching someone in billing for some extra charges, so that is the only issue we have had. My mom seems happy, I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

I've made so many friends here in a very short time. I love the girls at the front desk. They're always there smiling and wanting to know what you need. All the staff are excellent. They're very attentive to the residents' comments and concerns. They're very accessible, including the director. And you don't see that everywhere. Maintenance will bring packages to your room and take your décor up and down for you. I love the food. Every day there are always so many choices. They have options that are offered daily, like sirloin steak, hotdogs, salads, soups. And then you have your choice of a couple of daily specials. Sometimes they do a buffet. But there's a huge amount of choice. They remember what I like to drink and just bring me my Arnold Palmer. Activities are the best. They have daily activities available on our TV channel, and they post the day's activities there as well. They're having an entertainment lawyer in to speak about Lucille Ball. Previously he's spoken about Gershwin. And I'm a musician, so that's right up my alley. There's a movie every day that airs twice a day. They air Ted Talks and One Day University. They also have a photography floor with a gallery. There's a professional photographer who lives here and started the gallery. He gives talks to the group about once a month. He talked with me recently and agreed to put up some of my work. There are so many cultural and educational opportunities here. There's definitely enough to keep you busy every day. They're never pushy, but there's plenty to do if you choose to. And the activities director is wonderful. They have a car service that takes you places you need to go. The gentlemen who drive us are really good drivers, and it's nice not having to worry about finding and taking an Uber. The activities are one of the best things here, right up there with food and friends. I feel like the cost is reasonable for me, and it actually puts me in better shape than when I was living in my house with all of its upkeep. Lake Worth is a lovely town. I'm able to walk across the street and get my hair done, or get pizza or Chinese food. I've been very happy here.
