Osprey Lodge is a beautiful place for assisted living. It's a very nice place upon looking at that. But you go over to the memory care side, I just couldn't do it. I wouldn't even consider the place. The apartments were probably the smallest out of every place. They appeared to be clean, but very small. I didn't see any amenities for memory care. There was a little courtyard. Assisted living is beautiful, and memory care is much different.
It was lunchtime and the residents were having lunch. They were pretty far advanced into Alzheimer's or dementia as opposed to some of the other places where the residents weren't like that. I think that was what was most traumatic that there were patients that were in pretty, pretty advanced stages, and that's why Osprey Lodge looked so bad. Everyone's head was hanging in their place. They looked like either they were way too medicated or there was something not right, and the picture didn't look right. It's a much older facility. It seemed that they have just given up on memory care. Where they were sitting and eating, it reminded me of a country bungalow or something. It needed an update. The staff weren't interacting with the residents. Nobody was attending to the residents, and there were probably about 20 residents. They were all just kind of huddled in like the kitchen area. The head of the whole program that runs admissions is very knowledgeable. She's spent a lot of time with me. I did tell her that I couldn't do the place because it was so dismal the way it was in the memory care, and she understood. She agreed with me. It's a very hard thing to say. Residents are particularly advanced, and not all the facilities are residents advanced like this.

They had memory care at Osprey Lodge, but they were just way too big and they couldn't meet mom's needs anymore. They could have a much better executive director. The food was definitely not great. This was way before the pandemic, and they were not ever short staffed. They're extremely short staffed now of course, because of what's going on with the pandemic. The accommodations themselves were absolutely beautiful, the whole place probably was. It looked like a huge resort.
The rooms had a kitchenette in them with a microwave, a sink, a refrigerator, cabinet space, and stuff like that. They had a nice bathroom. My mom had a bedroom. She also had a separate room that you could use as a bedroom, but she used that as her living room. She had her full-sized dining room table near the kitchenette.
They had music time, art time, and bingo. They would do anything to help them with their memory and keep them up-to-date. They had a lot of really good music there. People came to the facility and performed. For the 4th of July, they had a big thing outside because it was a really big place. They had other celebrations for them. If they wanted their birthday celebrated, they would celebrate those. They had a wine Wednesday. It's five floors. They had a salon and an exercise place. They take them on the bus if they need to go shopping at Publix or whatever, to a theater, or to doctors' appointments. Their activities were good.

My friend moved into Osprey Lodge in memory care. I was looking for someplace that could provide him the care that I felt he needed. I visited Osprey Lodge and I went through my expectations with them, what my concerns were since his surgery, and my experiences since then, and I toured the facility and I spoke to quite a few of the staff, I just felt like it was a place that was more suitable for him. From what I've experienced of the food, it's very good. They not only looked appetizing according to my friend, but they also taste good. They have a choice and they make those choices known to the person. They just don't set something down in front of them and walk away. They make sure that it's something they'll eat, and if not, they tell them what the alternates are. I'm very happy with the food, and I'm also very happy with his room. It's more than adequate in size and the setup is great. He has a very nice room.
They do a lot of participation with music and dance, they have their daily exercises with passing the balls around or different things and a couple of times a week, they put them on the bus and they take them just for scenic rides and tell them about things. There's just several things. The staff there is very good. They're great. I have not met anybody that hasn't responded to anything I've asked. They right away got on whatever my concerns were. The facility is great. There are a lot of activities going on there.

My father-in-law is moved into Osprey Lodge. If there was a higher scale than a plus, I would give it. The staff is amazing, caring, active, engaging, just amazing; that's really great staff, like they care very much about the residents. They are so helpful with just everything.
It's gorgeous. You feel like you're walking into a resort. Everything about it is built to look like a resort, and that's what it feels like, every part of it.
He's in memory care, so he needs everything. I mean, I don't really know too much about that but he gets OT, PT, and they do games. They do trips twice a week. They go out and do things, and they have transportation to doctors' appointments included in that.
It's a great location, it's off the road, and there's a couple of different ways to get to it. It's beautiful ground. I think they're doing some development possibly across the way from it, but it's beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous and it's nice, neat, and clean. The area is good; we stayed in the hotel very close to it when we were down there. So, it's got like that if you want to go visit and stuff like that.
The food is delicious. It's very good food. They've talked to me about different things, and they've gotten him engaged in things.

Horror stories. A fight broke out in the hall between two residents. One ended up in the hospital with a broken arm. Where was the staff to break up the fight?
My husband finds other people's clothes in his closet and at one time, a wheelchair. Laundry piles up for days even after my complaints. Sometimes, it goes out and isn't returned for two or three days even after I get after them.
Hubby does like the food and the service, but resents the invasion of his privacy when he is scheduled to take a shower.
I put him there for respite care while I collected my self. He can bathe, dress, and feed himself. He has no hearing or vision problems. He's not in a wheel chair and interacts well with staff. But the other residents are obviously in the final stages. He's not, but management refuses to let me take him out in spite of my doctor's approval.
