Recent reviews of Independent Living in Sumter County, FL
Cascade Heights in Longwood, FL
5.0

Cascade Heights is a great place! 25 years from now if it is still good, we may have to go here! The staff is super friendly and awesome Just walking around the place. You can see all of the people that live there seem very happy. The apartments are fabulous, full kitchen. His mom actually has the two bedroom. She turned one of the rooms into a dining room, which looks great a screened in porch patio on a third floor new appliances, stainless steel plenty of closet space everywhere. The place feels more like a resort than assisted-living. The full apartments are fabulous. Plenty of space storage and a full kitchen so many activities happy hours, music live music we can't say good things. And his mom loves the food which was a complaint at her her previous place in Ocala plus she didn't have even a kitchenette let alone full kitchen and she's paying $[removed] less here for more than double the space and so many more amenities

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.

Lake Gibson Village in Lakeland, FL
