We are in our early 60's (63&62)we are the youngest couple here. A lot of wheelchairs and mobile scooters. Average age is more in the 80's. Some times feels like a nursing home. Staff are top notch. Professional, friendly and helpful! Food is great good choice. Management are amazing make residents and staff feel valued. On the pricey side.

Friendly staff, friendly residents, plenty of food, variety of food, lot of activities. Holy community for Catholics, apt cleaned and redone before we came, Bus service for center.

Nice people, good food, everything well maintained

We recently toured and rented space at the Stone River Retirement Community. We worked with [name removed]. She was very professional and kind. We found her knowledgeable and familiar with all areas. She made us feel welcome and answered all our questions.

We loved it the moment we walked in the door. From the warm friendly staff greeting to the huge beautiful fountain with fish, to very clean appearance, it felt like great place to be. the apartments were the perfect size and the food was great

I love this place my grandma loves it here the servers are there to greet you with a smile and are ready to serve you with anything the ice cream is amazing and they have a espresso machine and the concierge is there 24/7 when needed.

[name removed] was the BEST! I believe she was a big reason our nephew chose Stone River. She was and still is so helpful to us. Room size is ok since meals are prepared downstairs. Amenities like the movie theater, store, salon, make it nice. My nephew doesn't use a lot of those- kind of keeps to himself.

1. Wonderful 2.very clean.3.extremely friendly residents & staff. 4.SR is independent, not assisted. But we have legacy PT & Visiting Angels on site. 5.Food is usually very good. Always a meat & fish or pasta, plus 2 or 3 hot veggies & a homemade soup & salad bar at lunch & dinner. Except Sunday supper. 6. Lots & lots of activities. Sometimes 2 or 3 different choices at the same time. Exercise classes every weekday, bridge 4 times a week, bingo 2 or 3 times a week, painting, coloring, puzzles, card games, scrabble, dominoes, poker, church for Catholics and Protestants, movies every evening, & much more.7. The price seemed high until I realized the inflation going on on the "outside world". It's month to month. But your rate is locked in for one year, no matter how much inflation goes up.

From the onset of our family's search for a retirement home for our love one, we sought out a place where he could regain his freedom and dignity as an aging adult with failing health. Upon coming to Stone River Retirement Community, there was something very different about the overall atmosphere. The staff was extremely authentic and very accommodating. Unlike other establishments, there was a genuine concern and interest in our delima, which was exemplified by our first point of contact [name removed], on to the upper management personnel. Up until our visit with Stone River, my brother, had not exhibited any reaction to any other place we had gone, yet he appeared to come alive subsequent to the visit here at Stone River. He became overly expressive of his delight in the facility's cleanliness, the exceptional dining experience, the kind and compassionate employees and staff. Etc... It appeared as though we had found John's new home, a place he could find peace!

For senior living, I have found this place very safe and comfortable. I like my 2 bedroom apartment layout and the fact that I have washer and dryer in my apartment is the best. Also they will bring meals to my apartment at no charge.

I first came here in response to a car show invitation. - I liked it. my kids thought I should consider it. So each one of them took me to a lot of retirement homes and they all thought Stone River was for me - and it has been !! Lots of activities and I love 3 meals a day - no cooking or cleaning. I am here to STAY !

I have no issues to complain about. The staff and residents are very friendly. The staff responds quickly to our requests. Very clean common areas. We have great amenities, Beautiful Decor though out the building. and Excellent food

Stone River is an exceptional facility as compared to the others in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. The facility is safe, clean, and well maintained.

We have found a little pot of gold for our mom. A little bit of Paradise. She is so happy and so are we. We know she is safe and is eating better because there is food available 24/7. The building of people make mom feels like she belongs to a big family

I am very happy at Stone River. Clean building, Nice staff, very caring. The new managers are GREAT. The food is for the most part good. Occasionally there are things I don't like but that OK because I can cook in my apartment. We have full kitchens.

We are so happy we found Stone River! We visited and reviewed other senior apartments, in our area, so we could make the best decision for our Mom. Our goal was to make Mom feel happy and secure, provide nutritious meals, and have activities that could fill her days. I think we found all of those things in Stone River. The staff has been so welcoming to all of us and I believe she feels secure and has activities that she likes. She also likes the meals- we can tell because she has gained 10 lbs.!! Thank you Stone River!

Stone River has been a great place for my mom and my brother to call home! They can be in their apartment to eat breakfast, watch sporting events on tv. and have family and friends come visit them. They have their privacy when desired, but can go to great meals in the dining room, go to church in the theatre room, get their nails done in the salon. It wasn’t easy for them to leave their forever home but thanks to the staff, they are both very happy living there!

Stone River Retirement Community is luxury living at its best providing quality independant living. Chef prepared 3 meals daily with other food options available 24/7. Activities and events keep your day busy. Your apartment is even cleaned weekly. Washer and dryer in each apartment. Staff is very welcoming and attentive. On site managers assure your needs are met.

My loved one really had the wool pulled over his eyes. What they show is not what they get! We were shown around on a celebration day, great meal wonderful entertainment. Once moved in we find out its less than mediocre. Long lines at meals, food is ok if you like pork chop jerky and rice. Employees are not respected by the manager which leads to a quick turnaround. Sad to say hook line and sinker we were bought what the lady sold us only to see that it's not what ya get... renter beware!!!

It's an absolutely beautiful facility. It's kept up very well. The staff is great. I think the biggest distraction for me was it was built as a retirement resort, yet fully at least 50% of the residents are either in walkers, motorized carts, or wheelchairs. They're parked all over the place. Having to navigate all those mobility devices negatively affects wait time standing in line for food (often up to 30 minutes). Also, when they're all parked on the second and third floors, that's a recipe for a catastrophe in the event of a fire or emergency situation. I would call it more of a nursing home atmosphere, whereas I expected a more vibrant community of retired people. It's still a really nice place. Housekeeping is fantastic. The concierge - all 3 of them - are fantastic. On weekends, they do work a little short staffed in the dining room, which makes for longer lines. Most of the people are really friendly, although It takes a while to get to know everybody.
