Our family had an in person tour and we thought the staff were very friendly and welcoming there. However the community just did not give us that cheerful and bright feeling.

Manatee River Assisted Living review

The staff at this community were really flexible and helpful to our family. We did not witness the meals ourselves but they do offer three meals a day that could either be served in the dining room or be brought up to the residents room. Manatee River is in a great spot for this area, it is family owned and you definitely can tell.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My ex-husband is at Manatee River. I’m very happy with it and like it a lot. One of the nice things about it is that the owner operates and runs it, so it's not a chain of any kind. The dining room is a very cheery, nice, and sunny place. The food is nutritious and seems as though the residents like it. They have the usual activities that most of them at that age can enjoy, like bingo, games, checkers, and exercises. The facility is several years old, but everything is always clean, and there are a lot of safe…
