My mom has moved into Brookdale Orange Park. We love it. They treat her like family. It is a perfect spot for her and she is happy there. It has just been a great experience. The staff is fantastic, everybody is just great, and even when we went in for an interview and to check out the place, they spent time with us. My mom loves the food; that's her highlight. It is like being in a five-star hotel. They have exercises for them to do, or activities for special times of the year, like they have an Easter egg hunt. They really keep them active there, which is what my mom needs. My mom has a roommate. She loves my mom, and my mom loves her. My mom is blind and the lady reads to her. It has worked out well for both of them. It has just been a miracle that they have helped each other out. They keep their minds going. My mom has dementia and Alzheimer's, and she has other physical problems. They have an exercise area where she can exercise. The value for the money is very good.

My mother is at Governor's Glen. I talked to her and she seems to be in good spirits. I'm getting good reports back from the staff. I'm OK with her being there. It's clean, well kept, and the staff was friendly. The communication has been OK. She's in a two-person room, which is sufficient and fairly well lit. I was able to move her bed, a dresser, and a chest of drawers in. I was able to see her participating in a sing-along that they recorded and posted online. She's in a good place. It had an institutional feel, but it's well maintained and clean, so it still has a homey feel. The staff also makes it homey. I'm satisfied so far.

Michelle is very caring and does anything I need. She does not waste any time and is busy every minute she’s here. Michelle is not only my caregiver, but my friend also. I'm just very pleased that I'm taking part in that service because I'm elderly now and I have a lot of serious health issues.

We chose Governor's Glen Assisted Living for my mother. They're very friendly, very thorough, and very easy to work with. There's no smell or anything like that, it's very clean, and they seem to have it all under control. They have good staff, but I think they're a little short, and they need to have more physical activities. They had a screened-in porch area, so you don't have to worry about mosquitoes.
