Community Reviews
Highly recommend Emeritus of Gainesville
reviewed on: 12/05/2014 by Allen in AlachuaEmeritus of Gainesville is a great place for my mother who is in the Alzheimer's Assisted care unit. The assistance and care she receives considering the challenges of this disease is outstanding! Emeritus was recently merged under Brookdale Sen ior Living Solutions based in Milwaukee, WI. Many changes have occurred or are ongoing. A fulltime RN is on duty during the daytime/early evening hours, and on call after hours for immediate assistance/emergencies. A licensed Gerontology MD is on staff and treats patients who desire her services right at the facility. Emeritus is now able to do lab work under her supervision, give meds (care provider staff are trained and able to provide medications, and a visiting podiatrist visit can be regularly scheduled, as can physical therapy sessions. The facility has an in house beauty salon also. Food is wonderful, a good variety of choices, all prepared in-house by trained chefs - gourmet caliber! Visitors can dine with the residents any time they want for a small price. There are no \\call ahead\\ requirements to visit, which means you can check on and observe the quality of care at any time unannounced. Many supervised activities take place daily - arts, crafts, lectur e series, visiting performers from schools, etc. Considering the ever-rising costs of such a facility, Emeritus pricing is VERY reasonable in today's market.
Emeritus at Gainesville
reviewed on: 08/31/2014 by RochelleWe are very pleased with Emeritus at Gainesville. The staff is so friendly, caring and willing to help. Mom says she feels like she's "being spoiled". She also is very involved with most of the multitude of activities offered. She enjoys the weekly outings. Overall, we know that she is safe and happy. We no longer worry about her. We appreciate Susie for all of her guidance and caring as we made this decision. She was a great help and I would highly recommend her.
Better assisted living
reviewed on: 06/04/2014 by AnonymousThe most important thing is that they are not a skilled nursing facility, so if the patient has diabetes or another condition, they really – I met with them up front and told them my loved one was diabetic – they said they could take care of it – but they aren’t licensed to check blood sugar and make decisions about medication. I moved my loved one.
Not impressed
reviewed on: 11/05/2015 by AnonymousI toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I saw quite a few options in the area and I just was not impressed with what I saw at Brookdale Gainesville. The general presentation was not up to par with similarly priced places I saw. The carpets looked like they hadn't been cleaned in quite a while, and there was a noticeable odor.
4 months of assisted living till we came back from France
reviewed on: 06/26/2014 by Patti SjodenEmeritus was a very clean, well kept up facility. The staff was efficient and friendly. The staff changed over during the 4 months my mom was there and that was a little disturbing. The head nurse and other staff changed. My mom chose not to participate in a lot of activities but it seemed there was many available. The Physical Rehab people there were great. The food was ok mom said. Mom felt safe there.
