Pacifica Senior Living Ocala
5.0

I would recommend Pacifica to others, and I have. They work hard to make sure your loved one is taken care of. My brother doesn't have long to live, and they do everything they can to keep him comfortable.

Elan Buena Vista in The Villages, FL
5.0

We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.

Steeplechase Gracious Retirement in Oxford, FL
4.6

The only things that were ever an issue were mainly the quality of the food and lack of taste according to my mom. Another issue was just with the cleaning. We basically had to the floors and bathroom ourselves they were not getting them clean. My mom didn't use their towels (too heavy) and she slept in a recliner so there were no sheets for them to have to do also
