I liked Sumter Senior Living's floor plans but I didn't like the rooms as much as I liked the ones in the other community I visited. I liked that they have broken up the areas so that people from each area didn't have to walk that far to get to the dining room.
It was the independent living that I looked at. They have a lot of activities and they also have a pool. The physical condition of the community was very good and the upkeep was very nice.

Sumter Senior Living was very nice and very well kept, and the people there were very nice. I like the fact that it's a month-to-month lease since I'm not sure if my brother's going to like it there. So I'm not going to be tied into a long-term situation where he won't be able to leave when he wants to leave. The staff is very nice, everything about the place is very nice, very new, and very well-kept. It's laid out kind of like a hotel, like a very nice resort. The whole place was very well-maintained, people were nice, and the facility was nice.

We live in Sumter Senior Living. It's very good. The staff are very nice. They offer three meals a day and all kinds of activities. They have games, exercises and all kinds of things to keep us occupied. We have an activities room, a salon, and a swimming pool. We have a two-bedroom-two-bath apartment. They have all sizes of rooms available from studio up to this. The cost is very high comparatively. It's managed by Grace Management, but we don't know who they are and they do not associate with us.

Sumter Senior Living was a very busy place. It's very big but there's no campus, which was one of the things we're interested in seeing in a facility. The staff was very professional. The facility was kept in excellent shape. I could see the support staff working there and they were cleaning and doing it. They were very attentive to the place and it looked that way. It was a good tour.
Happy that I'm here
Come and see our beautiful surroundings and
spacious apartments. Do you like buffets? You will enjoy them here. Buffets are "Grand" around Sumter Senior Living, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentines Day and at breakfast every morning too. Make lots of new friends to share the good times. Plenty of activities and exercise classes 6 days a week.

I looked at Sumter Senior Living. I was extremely impressed with it. A lot of the people were on walkers and in wheelchairs which turned me off a little bit, but I didn't see any stress among the people or anything. Carol was awesome. She was the one that took me on the tour and she's the one I was working with. She is beyond fabulous. I saw the dining area, and I was very impressed with it. If something should happen down the line and I'm not doing well and I do need to go into independent or assisted living, I would probably have it in writing that I may like to be transferred there. I would have to go visit it again to try the food and everything, but I can't say enough about Carol. The room that she went to show me was gorgeous. I looked at a studio and I looked at a one-bedroom. Very impressive. They had their own little kitchenette and they had the bathroom. What I saw was very clean. The salon wasn't open, but she did show me where the salon was. I liked the fact that it was close enough to The Villages.

My father stayed in Sumter Senior Living for seven years. It's awesome. The place was very clean. The room sizes were nice. Tons of activities, a lot of outings, they had vehicles they could take, they went to all kinds of different shows and they went to a horse racing event, so a lot of outdoor activities, and they had plenty of indoor things for those residents who didn't necessarily like to go out anywhere. There was a fitness center, there was a pool, there were all kinds of arts and crafts, and there was a golf simulator. The thing about The Villages too, and where he was, as a resident you can use The Villages. It's a humongous golf community and there are over 40 golf courses. He and his friends used to go golfing once or twice a week, that's one of his passions, so he got to truly enjoy a lot of the activities that they had there. He made lots of good friends, for him there was a lot of camaraderies. There were four of them, four guys, so that every morning they had breakfast together, every night they had dinner together. It's an awesome place. It's like Disney World for adults.
They changed management companies several times, that's my one complaint, and depending on who's running the place, the staff was fabulous, other times not as great.

My tour of Sumter Senior Living was very good and very informative. The person who helped me took me and gave me all the information was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and kind of matched the apartments to look at with my needs. It looked very clean, very lively, decorated for the holidays, and very appealing. The rooms they showed us were not furnished. The kitchen counters were dark, the cabinets were dark, and that I didn't care for, but that could be remedied by proper decoration or light furniture type of things around. The apartments that I saw had balconies that you can sit on and on the ground floor of the property, there were walking trails. They had a pool outdoors, places to sit, and places to walk around. There's a lot of green areas around. In the independent living, other than the dark decor, it was very lively looking and residents were going back and forth to things. I spoke to some residents.

Sumter Senior Living was very nice, but it's cafeteria style dining. The apartment was way too small. The living room and the second bedroom were too small. It would be good for a single person, but not two. They're ridiculously expensive, plus they want $1,000 for a second person. We want independent living and a maintenance-free residence, but their residence was too small and I don't want to spend my life in a cafeteria.
The food was awful. The people that they sat us with to share a meal with and most of the people around us, all complained that they don't have enough staff. They call the cook a chef, but he's no chef. He takes care of all three buildings, so there's no way he can make decent meals or upgraded meals when he's going to cook for three different buildings. It's a very nice building, but I don't want to live there.

Sumter Senior Living is actually our number-one choice on the list. It's very modern, it has everything that we're looking for, and the people who showed us around were very nice. The one-bedroom was perfect. It was it was modern and well laid out. They had a good list of activities. We saw the dining hall, the recreation or exercise room, and the pool area. Everything was well maintained.

The marketing guy at Sumter Senior Living was terrific. We only saw one model, which was the two-bedroom-two-bath, and we did not like the layout; it's not what we want. The facility was very nice and very clean. They have almost all the same amenities that most of them have, like electricity and utilities. They're furnished with a washer and dryer and a small kitchenette. The marketing guy, Nelson, was extremely nice, kind, and helpful; he was a good marketing guy.

Sumter Senior Living was new and beautiful. The rooms were beautiful, and they offered lots of activities. We learned, however, that the average age of the population of these places basically is eighty-one, so they're older. It just seemed like even though there were a lot of activities to take part in, we didn't see much participation, and the pool was too small. These are minor things, though. The staff during the tour was wonderful.

I went to Sumter Senior Living. It was a very nice place. I guess the thing I didn't like is there was not enough open space outside compared to the other place I looked at. Everything I've seen was very nice, and it looked very clean. The staff was very nice. She communicated very well, and she was very inviting, friendly, and accommodating. It was very well kept. I've seen their dining room, it looked very clean and nice, people were sitting there, and they seemed happy. The rooms looked nice, spacious, and kept up. I saw a two-bedroom; they were light, and they had a balcony. They have a pool, they do pool activities, they have a gym, they have a beauty parlor, they have a library, they have an exercise room, and they have a bar.

Toured this past week and very impressed with the rooms, The food choices and the variety of amenities. I like that the buildings are hurricane safe for sheltering in place. I thought Patty did a great job giving me all the information I needed to make the best decision for me.

I've been to Sumter Place In the Villages a couple of times, and I like it a lot. I think the community was very active and very positive. There are lots of things to do, there are different choices, and there's a lot of people there. In the independent living there are a lot of individual homes or town homes even though they're very close in the community. There are different stages of living. So if you go in there relatively early and then you get a medical condition and decide to be less independent, you can move to a more appropriate part of the community. The residents really love being there, so they're really pleased with it. There's a golf cart within the community, lots of restaurants, lots of stores, and anything you want, even lawyers and medical. It's very highly regarded. It's one place I would consider for the future. They're not living in high-rises. They go out of their way to engage the people around them so there's a lot of camaraderie, and lots of the people are very outgoing.

We just moved my father into there a little over a month ago.
Highlights:
1. Overall the staff is very nice and generally accommodating 2. The food is terrific (watch out for the warm cookies in the afternoon you will get addicted)! 3. They definitely promote social activities.
Lowlights:
When we moved my Dad in the room was absolutely atrocious. I had to removed rodent dropping from under the sink and there was a distinctive smell in the room. The carpet in the bedroom was supposed to be replaced due to heavy staining. During that first week I put in two work orders to at least have the carpet cleaned. My father has put in several as well. As of this writing it has not been cleaned or replaced!

Sumter Grand in The Villages was like a cruise ship on land. It's very nice, but too expensive for us. Everything was upscale. The staff was very helpful and very nice. They gave us a complimentary lunch, which was very good. We looked at their calendar of activities, it was inviting, but there wasn't anything going on at the time.

Sumter Grand in The Villages's rooms are very nice, clean, and modern, and they have quite a few different sizes. The residents look happy.

Sumter Grand is totally independent living. It has lots of stuff going on and is a little bit more expensive and a little newer. It has a big, lavish lobby and an open bar area where you can go in and eat. This place has a very fancy area where you can get flavored water with fruits, croissants, cookies, and all kinds of coffee. The advantage of living in Sumter Grand is the fact that you are a member of The Villages, so you have all rights of The Villages and can go to all of those shindigs, which is a very big advantage because we are very social. We like to get out and get around. They have every kind of club, too. You can have your car downstairs in shaded parking. The first thing you see is the dining room, which is buffet-style for the most part. For breakfast, I know they are definitely a buffet. We ate in the saloon, which is right next door, and the food was delicious.

We were most impressed with Sumter Grand. The staff was really nice, and we liked the different apartments that we viewed. It's set up more like a resort, and it was like a cruise ship. There was a pool and an exercise area; you can come and go as you want. They give you two meals a day, and it was suitable to the way we thought it should be.

Sumter Grand matched all our personal requirements. We liked everything about it. They had large rooms. They had three different buildings. One was pretty much independent living, the second one was assisted living, and they had memory care. It suited us just fine. There was a covered parking. We also like that the age group there was more suitable for us.
