Never would I imagine a facility that is suppose to care for a elderly person do just the opposite. They told hospice, he was not declining to the point of needing them.
Refused them access. Yet he dies days later and looked as if he hadn’t eaten in weeks. Shame on you for everything you said to our family, shame on you for blaming Governor DeSantis. You brought your political bias into the death the of our dad. Your facility should be shut down in my opinion and in my opinion all of you should lose your license to work with any living being. You deserve negative stars and I’m disgusted that the only way I can review you is if I give you 1 star. What a shame. Please please for the love of your family I would not put a family member there.
This facility Emeritus at Beneva Park (Lamplight of Sarasota) reminded me of a nursing home. It might as well have been a nursing home because that's the only type of activity they have going. They weren't doing anything to encourage the residents. They assumed that you were children. The activities that are scheduled are for those people who have a lot of brain damage to all the way to up to making furniture. The person who took me on the tour was nice and friendly. The rooms are half the quality of the ones I'm in right now.

My sister is at Lamplight. She won't be staying very long in the place. Although it seems nice, it's not the place for her yet. Most people in there are in wheelchairs and on walkers. She went in there for knee surgery, and hopefully she won't need a walker soon, and she certainly doesn't need a wheelchair. There's nothing wrong with the place. It's just that the people who are actually in the place are not compatible with what I thought I could find for her.
She is very unhappy, and I hate to see her that unhappy. The room is fine. She eats whatever she wants to eat, but she doesn't like to be on a schedule. The administrators are very cheerful and very helpful. She's coming back home.

My brother was at Lamplight, and he was very unhappy. The dining area was horrendous. They were frequently running out of food. There would be 90 people trying to come in the dining room at one time, and there was a long wait. Sometimes my brother would wait an hour, nobody would take an order, and he would just leave. Then they tried to address that by having everybody pre-order their food. So, he pre-ordered for lunch, I think it was an egg salad sandwich, and when he went there, they said they ran out of bread. So, they gave him a scoop of watery egg salad. He said he lifted it up with his fork and it ran right through the fork. They are trying to change it. I heard that they have two sittings now per meal as opposed to one. However, my brother liked the care. The people were very caring. Actually, several of the nursing assistants visited him in the new facility. They loved him and they were very responsive. He wanted to move back there.

We choose Emeritus because it has a good recommendation. It is in the area where we want her to be. It is clean. The people working there are very nice and very friendly. They have activities. Though some of the carpeting are a little shabby, but other than that I think it is fine. Some of the rooms have really nice facing and they have a garden. The one thing bad about it is the parking floods when it rains. It has a low level and the whole front of the parking lot floods.

My mother was at Emeritus. I'd say it was satisfactory. The staff was nice. They had activities but she didn't participate. You had to pay a community fee that's non refundable. I did sign a contract but within 24 hours, my mom wanted to go home and they wouldn’t let me out of there. She got there on the 11th of October. With $1800 a month, she paid for the whole month of October. She stayed a week and they still billed her through November 15. She didn't even want to be there and it cost her over $4,000 to be there for one week. They can fill those rooms so I was angry. My disappointment was they're just more about making money than they are to patient care. I feel a little deceived and a little ripped off by them to be honest. They kind of drop you like a hot potato once they have your name on the dotted line and I did not like that at all. I would never go back there.

We moved my friend to Emeritus. The facility was quite satisfactory. It was clean. The rooms were nice and large. It's more than enough room for a double bed. It has a huge dresser, a flat screen TV, and chairs for the visitors. It was freshly painted, carpeted with a new air condition system. The staff seemed nice, and professional. They also seemed they have enough people to do the job.

I like Emeritus better than the others. It was clean and the room that my mother got was repainted and carpeted before she moved in to it. They have a friendly staff and I like the people. They had puzzles and a lot of activities going on.

Emeritus at Beneva Park was nice and she enjoyed being there. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were not really big but it was adequate for one person. I tried the food once and it was tasty. I was not aware of all the activities they had but I knew she played bingo and went to happy hour every Friday.

Emeritus at Beneva Park was recommended by the rehab place that my mother was in right now. We chose it because it's on the same major road that I live plus it's not very far from her doctor's office and we are moving in next Friday. Her room is about a size of a motel room. I haven't tried the food when I visited there, but the menu looks pretty decent.

My mother stayed there. She got no help. I had to be there all day,every day to see that she was fed and got her medicines. One night she seemed"comatose" so they di nothing-no call to me or 911. The next morning she was gone. I blame them.
