My father was a resident at the Lakewood Ranch location for approximately two years, where he was…read moregenerally well-liked by staff and did not present any significant behavioral issues. To extend the benefits of his long-term care policy, however, we made the decision to transfer him to the Bradenton location. Initially, the transition appeared positive under the leadership of the then-director. However, after her abrupt departure, the facility was placed under the direction of a very young individual whose prior role was in sales and who lacked any relevant experience in long-term care management. Within a few months, the new director attempted to evict my father based on allegations that were unfounded and inconsistent with his history. Upon reviewing my father's email account, we discovered multiple communications from the director that were unprofessional in tone. Additionally, we identified concerning indications that my father's Amazon Alexa device may have been improperly linked to the director's personal Amazon account, raising serious privacy concerns. After we challenged the eviction and requested clarification, the request was withdrawn and an apology was issued. Unfortunately, a few months later, the director again attempted to evict my father, forcing us to secure alternative accommodations under stressful and time-sensitive circumstances. A few days later, we learned that the acting director had resigned although it's possible he was terminated. Following my father's departure, we were informed by someone in the management office that his final month's payment would be prorated. However, when we followed up, we were told by the new director and VP of operations that over $1,500 would be withheld due to furniture items allegedly not removed from his room--items that belonged to the Lakewood Ranch location, not to my father. Our experience reflects serious concerns with management judgment, communication and billing practices. I would therefore urge families considering this facility to proceed with extreme caution and to seek clear, written assurances regarding policies and oversight.

It was her third ALF since her stroke in 2016, and it was by far the best. I live about five minutes away and so I was there often. I was able to see first-hand the attention and care she received from all of the staff. From the CNAs to the nurses to the maintenance and cleaning personnel, I always felt they had her best interests at heart. They have several integrated doctors and PT/OT (though you can keep your own) and because of that they were able to catch a few issues my grandmother was having long before they became critical. There are some things you can tell from a tour - the activities, the physical amenities, maybe even the food. But what you cannot tell, and what matters most, are the people who work there. I'll be forever thankful of the care my grandmother received; it was very much the kind of care I'd hope to receive myself in her place.

I toured 10 facilities and chose DeSoto Palms mainly because of 4 reasons that were important to me. 1. They had a reasonable resbit rate that didn't include a huge community fee. 2.

Based upon my experiences with a few other assisted living facilities where my mom lived, DeSoto Palms is great! For the temporary status we needed. I was pleased. Depending on your needs, the only draw back was the daily activities. My husband didn't participate much but that was ok for him.
