Sumter Senior Living was very nice, and the facility staff was very good. They look like they had a lot of activities. They had several different floor plans, and they were adequate. There's a common library, a dining room, and TV room. They do offer transportation. It was just very clean and organized.

I liked my visit to Sumter Senior Living. The location is great and the 1-bedroom apartment was fine and would have accommodated what we needed. They had lots of activities, they had a board showing all the activities and they had plenty. I like the fact that there were 2-hour room checks 24 hours a day. We looked at one room, it was being painted for a new resident and it was sufficient with a refrigerator and a microwave. The staff who gave the tour was very good, she had lots of information and answered all the questions. They seem to have plenty of facilities like onsite rehab, and the dining area was very nice.

Sumter was very nice, but it was too far, and I wanted something that was closer to me. The staff was very friendly, very professional, and very knowledgeable. If somebody lives in The Villages, this would have been nice. I would have considered it. I think it may have been pricier only because everything in The Villages is pricier. It was one of the higher rent places. It's near a lot of shopping though. If you're The Villages then it's a beautiful community.

A friend of mine moved here after living in The Villages because he has dementia. At first I thought that this place was really nice. It looked just beautiful. But it is the staff of any facility that makes the difference. No matter how small the request that you may ask from the staff here they don't have time to bother with you. It got REALLY bad during COVID when I could not get in to visit him. Since no friends or family were able to visit to see what was going on, they just left him to live like an animal. He kept calling me to tell me that he was hungry! They give them such small amounts of food and they closed the kitchen at 4:30pm so they could not get anything to eat until the next morning. We sent him snacks to try to help but I thought about all the other people there who were also probably hungry who may not have relatives to send them snacks and who also are unable to visit them due to Covid. When we were finally able to see him again we found him naked, and his whole bed covered in feces, they had not cleaned him or his room in who knows how long and he was in bad shape. Of course we moved him to a different facility but I say to you. Don't be fooled by the this place. It looks beautiful but the people don't care about the residents. It is all about money and hiring people at the lowest wage possible (you get what you pay for) and providing the least amount of food and the lowest grade of food that is possible because it is all about profit, not the residents so beware!

Went on a bus tour of several facilities around The Villages while I was in town and was asked to rate the facilities. I did my homework after and this facility was the second best. Convenient location, one problem that I did find it that it appears that they have a history of deficiencies during state inspections.

My mother lives at Sumter Place. Overall it is nice, but staff and management changeover is high,. The food quality continues to decline. Food server quality is inconsistent, as I have seen residents trying to waive down a server on many occassions. Pill distribution has many bad days,which is dangerous. They do bring in entertainment and decorate for holidays. The van drivers are very accomodating. I have many security concerns as side doors are unlocked during the day. The shower area is slippery due to poor drainage. The many living rooms and tv's are lovely. Games like bingo are offered, but with prizes like a can of soda.

It is very sad to see the changes that have taken place in the community. I think the staff does not have the team mentality to serve the residents appropriately.

Staff is not very accommodating. There is supposed to be a point system to determine the level of care received but I've yet to learn how many points my spouse is on. I have to check up on everything, they don't always help her shower and so she goes without. They just dump all of her clothes in the laundry basket so they don't have to hang things up. They've left her shoes laying around and I'm afraid she'll trip over them. The bathroom smells badly as though the drains don't work properly. I think I'll have to move my wife to another facility as she doesn't seem to be receiving the care she needs. The aides are spread too thin and take a long time to respond to a call. They are pleasant but most likely underpaid and overworked.

My relative is struggling here. They do not provide the levels of care that is advertised. Don't move your loved one here and have them suffer with the almost non existent care. The aides hide and hang out together and take a long time to answer a call for help. Everyday I see residents calling for help and no one around to help them.

I visited Sumter Place in The Villages, and I would not go back. It did not seem inviting. The people I met seemed nice, friendly, and accommodating. Their grounds were OK -- nothing spectacular. I was easy to access. The furnishing turned me off. It was not old, but they had very heavy dark furniture that did not look inviting.

Sumter Place in The Villages was nice, and the staff was friendly but not quite as interactive. The place looked bright and clean. There were a lot more residents sitting around.

Sumter Place In the Villages's staff was very nice, but they just didn't show me what I was trying to look for. They had three meals a day and some delicious snacks. They have some musicians come in once a week and a bus tour that takes them out for scenic drives every week.

Sumter Place was too expensive for my aunt. It's brand new, very well-kept, the staff was friendly, and they had a lot of activities. The rooms were spotless, large, airy, and bright, and they had a nice kitchen. I thought it was a very nice place, and everything was lovely there.

We were looking for a place for my father, and we had the chance to visit Sumter Place in the Villages. The place was very nice, and the people were absolutely outstanding. They could not be more helpful. I was extremely excited and pleased to be able to come down to this place assuming down the road we can do that. I would highly recommend this place.

I was unimpressed with Sumter Place. They showed us the fitness room and the memory center, and I was very disappointed with all of it. We spent two nights there, and they were very unaccommodating in terms of the dietary requirements that I had. However, it was very attractive. The staff was friendly, but I did not like the food.

Sumter Place was very nice, but the price was expensive. The rooms, apartments, and dining area were nice too. The staff was very friendly and helpful -- especially the first person that I spoke to. When I called her back, she was very helpful and gave me a lot of information.

We had a really nice visit at Sumter Place Assisted Living, but it was just too big for us, and their activities were a little bit steeper than what we were used to. It was a beautiful place, and the accommodations are really nice. The staff who assisted us did a very good job of telling us what we would receive and what we would do there. There were a lot of activities, but most of them were things we didn't necessarily like. There were laundry services, a reading room, and a room where you can do puzzles. They showed us a 1-bedroom with a living room, a bathroom, and an extra room with a microwave where we could eat. The people who work there opened the front door for us and welcomed us, and they were very accommodating.

The first thing I like about Sumter Place in the Villages is that you can use all their amenities and all the things they provide like golf, bowling, and getting discounts on different stores. You had access to all the entertainment.
The dining area was very nice. The food was good. They have a lot of woodwork all over which I like, but the rooms are just too dark, and the furniture looks so cheap. The decorations are too dark and gloomy and make me feel moody. I was disappointed.
It’s expensive. I think it’s like 3 or 4 stories, and I don’t care for that. It makes me too confined and too claustrophobic when you have to go either up the stairs, use elevators, and then go down hallways to get to your place.

We went to Sumter Place, you go in independent, move to assisted, and they got long term care. We liked that. Everybody was friendly, it was very warm, and when you walked in, you feel comfortable. The restaurant was open all, there’s no set time for meals, and they give you three meals there. They have excursions, activities, and a small pool, and they were within distance of a golf course. We loved the apartments very much; they had corner apartments that seemed to be larger than some of the others, and it was all decorated very nicely.

Sumter Place is very nice and relatively new. They have independent living that operates under a different name, plus memory care and assisted living. It’s a pretty large, multi-story facility with a 24-hour café serving sandwiches, donuts, pie, cake, and various beverages that the residents can go anytime and get something to eat. The dining room is open from about 7 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. It also has a full-service bar and entertainment on a regular basis. The assisted living is an open concept. Instead of hallways, they’ve got living room areas situated every few hundred feet. The residents in the assisted living don’t have any large refrigerator or stoves or anything, but they have a microwave and a small refrigerator. I did not go in to the independent living side, but from what other people have told me that had parents living there, it’s regular apartment-style living with a fine dining restaurant facility.

My brother liked Sumter Place. It was a clean and small facility. They provided assistance to almost everything.
