9 Nursing Homes Communities in Alachua County, Florida

I moved into the Atrium at Gainesville, and it's absolutely wonderful. I haven't met anybody who is not pleasant, and they're very affable. I have a studio apartment with a kitchen and a bath. They have different studios, on-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. They cook all the meals, and they gave us a calendar of activities. They have an exercise room, a beauty salon, a little general store, and a room with a pool table. It's a marvelous experience.

I chose the The Atrium at Gainesville because everyone is so friendly and I like the environment. The community is pet-friendly, they have a heated pool, and there are oodles of activities. So there's a lot of interesting things to do like chair zumba with just the arms, they do Wii bowling, live music during dinner sometimes, they have bell-ringing for the holidays coming up and we can learn. I moved in but have not slept there yet. The price is a little high so it's causing me a little problem. The activities fee is over $3,000, so that's another issue. I have been eating there, but I can't say the food is the best lately. During the tour it was specially good and we were in the formal dining room, but now it's like what they had left. They decorate well, they're friendly, they have a library, and a workout facility, but the food could be better.

My mom stayed at Atrium at Gainesville for 2 years. It was clean, nice, and the people were friendly. The lobby was nice, in good condition, and clean. My mom hated the food, and thought it was the worst thing. She enjoyed the concerts they had in the common area. They would also sometimes have speakers that were enjoyable, and some movie nights that she liked. It got too expensive and she didn't eat the food.

The Atrium at Gainesville offers everything I'm interested in. The staff is very nice and everybody was very friendly. The grounds were very attractive and the location is okay and it's easy to get to. The 1-bedroom I saw was very attractive which is over 700 square feet which is excellent.

My parents will be moving into The Village at Gainesville. They're going to have their own apartment, and people will be coming in to do cleaning and yard work. The staff member that I met there was very nice. I also met their marketing person, and their nurse, and they were real nice. The marketing person was very patient with my mother and step-father about getting into the place. It's located on a street that runs to the west of Santa Fe Community College and there's a major entrance and exit, so the traffic is horrific in the afternoons. Their apartment is a 2-bedroom and 2-bath that's 1,200 square feet. The pricing is more expensive than other places, and for what you get it's pretty high.
