I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother moved to Traverse Village about 2 years ago, to be closer to my sister who lives near by. I try to visit a few times a year, as I live too far away to come more often. She is happy and capable to still live on her own and this is the place for her. The staff seem to do their best, to provide for the residents what they need to maintain their independence. The residences are duplexes built about 50 years ago but updated when needed. Attached garage is also a plus. They provide a shuttle service for residen…

Caring, compassionate and loving.

From the front desk to the cafeteria staff, excellent, professional and above all family oriented. The care our loved one had while there was exceptional. The skilled staff in MC was attentive, well educated and patient with the residents living there. Every resident is treated as an individual and loved. Activities and daily routines catered to the individual and family members are encouraged to visit as often as possible. The care plan there from the medical staff and resident director is transparent and well com…

I visited this facility

I toured The Cove at Tavares Village. They do have duplexes and it's a little bit old. I'm not impressed with its overall cleanliness. Instead of the carport, they had garages attached to their duplexes, which was a plus. They had an exercise room. They have a library, a nice lobby area for people to gather, and a movie room. I don't think the staff went over and above in anything.

Think twice about putting your loved one here! The staff is horrible! Mom was put in memory care before she needs it. My brother has POA, (and boy, the staff lets you know it!). He doesnt have the time for her, so this is his next best thing. She sits in a recliner all drugged up. All the brown recliners are pushed up against each other sideways ,the room is kept VERY dark!. From 9am all day. Sits there! Gets up only to eat. Theres NO memory care activities! Theres about 18 patients there ALL drugged up! Its so hor…
