I've chosen Sun Towers Retirement for the price. It was $1,000 less than the other place. It's very, very nice. It is a seven-story high rise. I've got a two-bedroom, two-bath, which is very nice. You have a choice of carpet or plank flooring, and I had to pay for the plank flooring and the paint. The staff seemed very nice and very helpful. They offer three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service. They change your bed and they do the linens and the sheets and stuff. You have to do your own personal laundry and there are facilities on each floor. The food was very good. I'm going into the independent living, but you just can't say, "Oh, I'm independent or I need assisted living." You have to be screened by the director as well as the director of nursing to make sure that you are independent versus assisted. I can stay in the same apartment if I go from independent to assisted. I don't have to move. I can stay right there until I need higher care after assisted. They have a nursing home and memory care there. I have a full kitchen and it's got tons and tons of storage. In the two-bedroom, there are two walk-in closets, another large closet, a linen closet, and a front hall closet.

We toured Sun Towers Retirement for my mother-in-law. The appearance is good, the layout is fine, and it's very clean. The staff was very personable, informative, and very nice. The dining area looked like a big dining hall, they have a spa, salon, they have a little prayer room that's multi-denominational, they had a theater room, and we saw a giant studio. However, the elevators were scarcely working.

I visited Sun Towers Retirement. You're allowed to age in place, and you stayed in your room. I was impressed with that. It was big, it wasn’t as personalized, and the people didn’t look happy. We had a very professional woman who showed us around. I think they had many activities, and they would take you to a bunch of places. The facility was exceptionally beautiful, and it was like living in a hotel.

I go to physical therapy as an outpatient three days a week at Sun Towers Retirement. It's a really lovely and sweet place. The physical therapists are excellent. I can't say anything bad about the place. I really like it. The staff is excellent. Everybody's very caring and considerate. They have transportation to doctors' appointments and to stores. The 1-bedroom apartment was very small. They have activities, housekeeping, a dining room, three meals a day, a swimming pool, dancing, bingo, a beauty salon, happy hour, and live music. There's not much of a view in the front because it's more like a parking lot, but you will get the trees and pretty scenery at the back.

I have a 600* unit with a bedroom, bull bath, living room and a completely equipped kitchen. Plus a walk in closet and coat closet. More that adequate for my needs and arranged nicely with a screened in balcony. I have no pets but the people that do seem to have no problem walking their dogs, and the animals are quite froemd;u. It is very nice to have the staff know your name, and can answer most questions.. Management is available for major problems and are always quick to untangle problems. The food is institutional grade. With almost three hundred residents they do go further to learn preferences i.e. no gravy, or dessert to go. Ig's not my home cooking, but I guess you would get 300 answers on what goes in or on a meatloaf!! Being visually impaired I appreciate that my apartment is cleaned weekly, and if I drop and break a glass I can get help cleaning it up. Activities are limited for me due to vision, but we can take a but to go out for dinner weekly, and several organizations meet here monthly. Overall a good value for the comfort and safety of the residents.

My mother-in-law just celebrated her first anniversary of living in Sun Towers. She could not be happier -- moving here was the perfect place for her. She feels safe and cared for. The staff is wonderful to her and very receptive to requests -- the little things that make a place a home. Just after she moved in last year Hurricane Irma came to town. Mom was very happy with how the staff gathered everyone and had activities for residents. She felt really safe as the storm came through. Recently she had a choking episode at dinner and the staff jumped immediately into action, got her through the danger stage and got her into an ambulance and on to the hospital. They called us immediately and briefed us on the incident. My husband and I travel a good bit and before she moved to the Towers we worried throughout our trips. Now we can leave town knowing she is in good hands. She brags to all her friends about how happy she is and how good everyone is to her. What a wonderful place!

My parents have experienced all facets of living within the Sun Towers community. First, Dad was moved into a Respite room, then to Assisted Living, then he and Mom lived in a combined Independent Living/Assisted Living apartment. Finally, Dad was moved into Memory Care and remained there until his death last fall - Mom still resides in their Independent apartment. Throughout this process, staff and support personnel have been exemplary, offering advice, options and direction when needed. Mom could not have handled the changes in their needs without the help of so many - Laura, Tosha, Barbara, Darian, the Nursing staff, Maintenance staff, etc. Today, Mom remains active and participates in many of the activities offered at Sun Towers. She even tried her hand at running a Bingo day!! Our family certainly made the right decision when we moved Mom and Dad into their apartment at Sun Towers. No regrets. What more can I say !!??!!

Sun Towers is our first choice. It's a bigger community than the other one we visited; it's about ten stories tall. The rooms are also a little bigger and they all have a screened-in lanai that they can go out to. They have a chapel, and a newly added snack bar, so if people come and visit you can go there and get a donut or a soda or whatever. They also have a little store with volunteers there, and you can get toilet paper or shampoo if you need it, instead of waiting for the Wednesday ride to Walmart or whenever. We saw the food they were serving and it was fine.

All of the staff of Sun Towers have my thanks. Each one was most helpful while the residents were located on the first floor. It was much appreciated since many of them had personal problems because of the storm and still came to help us. Thank you all again.

Sun Towers is in a friendly retirement community. Everything is very centrally located. Sun Towers ' team provides a secure, trusting, compassionate facility. It's very clean, friendly and treats the residents like extended family. It provides all your needs in independent to assisted living including transportation, 24 hour nurses stations, rehabilitation services, and unlimited activities. Three meals a day are included, it is a wonderful place to live ‼️

TRIPLE WOW-ie!!! We here at The Towers and The Terrace were blessed three times. First we were blessed when Mother Nature (Our Father in Heaven) down-sized Cat 2 Hurricane Irma from a Cat 2 to a Cat 1 just prior to approaching Sun City Center, Fl. We were blessed again by all of the pre Irma preparation; the organized and efficient roll call as we were all ushered from our apartments down to the preparation rooms on the first floor; and the post Irma work of cleaning up in and around our building after the fact. All of these things were directed by our very capable management team and carried out by them and by their very efficient in-house employees. All staff members and the in-house workers were with us every step of the way from our apartment departure of around 4pm on Sunday until we were escorted back to our apartments nine hours later at approximately 1am Monday. I am so grateful to all involved here in Sun Towers and Sun Terrace; by having all of their employees downstairs with us, serving food and drinks and helping us in any way that was necessary. Our high anxiety level was indeed lower a lot with their presence and that was our third blessing! YOU ARE THE BEST ---- Out of 5 stars I give you a 5-plus. Thanks. Char. I have lived here in The Towers for 2 years and 11 months.

I am a current resident of Sun Towers, my wife and I moved in on 4/18/2017. It was a week or two before we got our "sea legs" even though the staff bent over backwards to welcome us and show us the ropes. We quickly made some friends and soon were a member the community. I'm writing on Mon. 9/11/17 (that is an ominous date in our country) However in this case, the date is very positive, this is day after Erma hit Florida. Almost all employees were brought in on Sat. and were told to be prepared to spend both Sat. and Sun nights at the facility, staff members who had family at home were encouraged to bring families to Sun Towers. All upper floor residents were evacuated to the first floor, all first floor windows and doors were protected with plywood. The kitchen and wait staff were outstanding as were the management and their staff. Care givers were on duty helping out where ever they were needed, at some point it almost seemed that there were more help then residents on site. Every employee whether management, care givers or service staff acted as if we were doing them a favor by asking for some kind of help. They treated us with courtesy and respect even though dealing with some abusive behavior by some of our residents. We came through the ordeal in tack no major damage, no loss of electricity or air conditioning. Not that I would want to deal with another storm but I feel confident that we would make it through it.

Sun Towers was great. They're very informative and inviting. According to my sister, they couldn't be more gracious and helpful. The room has all fresh paint and new carpeting, and everything is cleaned once a week. The dining room is huge. There are movies, bus excursions, a beautiful pool, and everybody has a screened in porch to get outside a little bit.

Sun Towers Retirement Community was quite good. It was an attractive place. The rooms were sunny. All necessities were provided, and the staff that showed us there was very pleasant. They had bus trips, and I saw people playing games. The price was just a thousand dollars too much for us.

We went to visit Sun Towers, and it was absolutely wonderful. The place was very clean. The people were super friendly and working with me nonstop. We ate there as well and the food was very good. I would highly recommend the place. They have an activity center where they do their activities, and they have a big screen and the residents would watch movies. They also have bingo and arts and crafts. I saw that the residents were just happy. I didn’t hear bad things from the residents.

Sun Towers Retirement was a nice place. Overall, I think it would fit our needs. The staff seemed nice and qualified. The rooms were spacious, and they have updated quite a few of them, so that seemed very nice. We saw their dining room, which seemed nice, but they did not invite us to eat there.

We chose Sun Towers Retirement. We can bring our golf cart and many of the stores right there are accessible. It had everything that we were looking for. They offer independent, assisted, and nursing as well as memory care services. They have very good-sized rooms, but their prices are reasonable and within our price range. They have happy hours, trips, and offer transportation.

Overall, Sun Towers was the best all-around offer for retirement living in that environment of living. The accommodations were nicer and larger than most. The availability of facilities and in-house things, e.g., restaurants, exercise, and so forth was above the other standards. Sun City Center offers one thing that no other can offer and that is the fact that you don't have to have a car. You can drive a golf cart to everything.

Sun Towers is a big high-rise facility. I saw an apartment there that has one bedroom. It didn't have a den like the one I have in my own apartment. Their amenities are comparable to the ones where I am at now. They also have their bus that takes their residents to places. They provide meals and everything. They also have assisted living.
