My brother- and sister-in-law recently had a beautiful baby girl, and I purchased a 3-hour introductory appointment for them.

They will love it!

I am a new mother to a four month old baby girl. I received a gift certificate for A Better…read moreSolution from my sister in law for 3 hours of home management. It was such a thoughtful gift. I've had little time and energy to keep up with my daughter, work, and the house, and as a result, our home was getting out of hand. I called, set up an appointment, and a nice lady named Debby arrived on my doorstep a few days later. I had a small list of chores that I'd been trying and failing to accomplish the whole week. Laundry was piling up in my hampers. Bottles and all their little accessories filled one kitchen sink, and a week's worth of dishes filled the other. Nearly every surface was cluttered with binkies, toys, used bibs, and everything else baby-related. The living room looked like a tornado had touched down in a Babies R Us then blew through our home. I thought I would never get the place in order again, but Debby worked magic. She did all that laundry, washed the dishes and bottles, picked up the clutter, and swept the floors in the time it took me to bathe, feed, and dress my daughter for the day and then get myself ready for work. Before I knew it, the time was up. The house looked great. The clothes were clean, and the socks were paired. Debby left with a smile, and I was on time for work. Thanks to A Better Solution, I was able to return to square one and keep the clutter at bay. The next time I need a helping hand, I'll call and request Debby!

It's hard to have confidence and trust in people that come into our home and replace us, even for a few hours. It's more difficult because of all the complications that our son has. We became connected with BrighStar and that has changed. At this time we are working with J.P. in Venice. It's very nice to walk out and know that Christopher is in good hands. Not only does J.P. like working with us, he likes working for Brightstar. He likes the team approach and the continuity of care that his company has in place. I heard him say this today and I knew he meant it. If an employee likes their company, that says a lot to me. Thanks, BrightStar!

Cannot say enough good things about this facility…read more I contacted Pam at Grand Care Assisted Living when I was searching for a location for an elderly relative to live. He had been in a skilled nursing facility previously, but was receiving sub-par care there. Pam was quite helpful; although this location is listed as "assisted living" rather than "skilled nursing," Pam questioned whether this relative really needed skilled nursing. After speaking with her for a bit, I realized she was right. This relative simply needed a change of scenery, a smaller facility in which to live, and one that would keep an eye on him. We made arrangements (along with my brother) to have Pam evaluate our gentleman relative at his then-current location and scheduled a visit to Grand Care while I was in town. Immediately impressed with the actual location: easy to access, one-story, small, pastel-painted and beautifully decorated rooms, multiple amenities and staff that has worked here for years. Cost quoted was quite reasonable. We made arrangements for our elderly relative to move here as soon as it could be arranged. The improvement in this relative's demeanor, health and outlook on life skyrocketed. Where he had been withdrawn, irritable, refusing to eat and in pain (he had multiple falls in the skilled nursing facility), within weeks we saw an extremely positive change. He's eating, socializing, exercising, moving more freely, no longer in pain and has developed multiple friendships here (both among the staff and other residents). Absolutely heartwarming for us to see such a marked improvement. This is a small facility. It is more of a home-like setting rather than an institution. Staff is wonderful. Pam remains a great communicator and motivator. Her handling of the residents in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian was stellar. I've interviewed and seen my share of home healthcare and assisted living facilities. Some are downright despicable, presenting either sanitized living space and/or caregivers that demonstrate little compassion. Grand Care Assisted Living is, in my opinion, top notch and probably one of the best locations for assisted living in the area. Highly recommended, as the the care that my elderly relative is receiving is nothing short of remarkable, and the transformation in his outlook, health and attitude has been extraordinary.

We asked why admissions did not have meds available. They blamed the hospital for not sending a script, but that is a poor excuse. Everyone I spoke to was rude and uncaring.

The staff, except for pt, is mostly bad. They are not responsive and act like you're bothering them. She actually had to tell the nurse to change the dressing on her wound. When she finished she was actually going to put the soiled, bloody bandage back on her until I told her no way!!!! The fiid is horrible. It is dark and dreary and they don't clean. She had something sticky on her floor that we complained about and it they didn't clean it til the next day. Her tray was grimy and they didn't ckean that either til I complained. The worst of all was when she woke up in the middle of the night with roaches crawling on her and in her bed. Needless to say she left the next morning. This place is gross. Do not go here!

Luckily we visited Brookdale Assisted Living in Punta Gorda, Florida. After meeting with the staff and taking a tour, Dad and I felt we'd found the perfect place to meet our needs. I'm so glad we did. Brookdale is a small community with a family atmosphere. All of the staff go above and beyond. They even assist Dad making FaceTime calls to me. Jessica, who is the Health and Wellness director, calls me regularly with updates on Dad. I can't offer enough praises of Brookdale Assisted living in Punta Gorda, Florida.

I want to acknowledge that we've had numerous positive experiences at The Meridian, particularly…read morewith the memory care unit, where my mother constantly expresses her love for the care and environment. It is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents and staff, and sometimes that requires difficult decisions regarding individuals who may pose a risk to others. With over 32 years in the healthcare field, and leading large Emergency Rooms, I understand the complexities involved in caring for individuals with challenging behaviors. There are compliance regulations mandated by AHCA (Agency for Healthcare Administration), Florida's regulatory body for assuring the safety of patients and residents in all facilities who care for patients/residents. I encourage anyone reading this gentleman's post to not let negative experiences by one individual overshadow the positive aspects of The Meridian. If a resident harms another resident or healthcare team member, they must take action and assure this resident receives age specific care they need in facility capable of handling the aggressive/impulsive behaviors. I'm thankful the Meridian team took action in this case to keep my mother and the other residents safe. While they strive to create a nurturing environment for all families, they are always looking for ways to keep the memory care residents engaged and safe; go see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
