The Villas at Killearn Lakes gave mom the safe home she needed after dad passed. We tried other facilities but they were not the place for her or us. The entire team at the Villas treated mom with love and respect every day for almost three years. We always felt like family to them and they treated our mother with such care and dignity. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Pete, Bobbi and the entire Villas family, they have our eternal gratitude for taking such great care of mom while in their care - thank you!

Villas is a beautiful facility with friendly staff and is a nice assisted living facility. However it is not staffed, trained nor equipped to properly handle progressive memory care patients. After years of my father living there and us continually working with the staff and doctors as his cognitive abilities deteriorated, they have given us 45 days to find a new home for him. We even provided a full time (8-12 hours/day) caretaker at our own expense at their request. But they are still not equipped to handle the common, progressive issues that will inevitably arise with memory care patients. Therefore if your loved one has, or may eventually have, memory care needs, I do not recommend this facility. Stability is important with memory care patients and when my father needs stability the most, this facility is forcing him to move and our family to go through yet another difficult and painful transition.

While a nice, community style assisted living facility with friendly staff and good sized rooms, I do not recommend this as a memory care facility. The staff is not equipped nor properly trained to take care of memory care residents. Due to this, the facility recently told my family that they can no longer take care of my father with progressive dementia. We have continually worked with the facility as his disease has progressed over the past few years, we have multiple family members visit regularly and provide a full time (8-12 hours per day) care taker to sit specifically with my father at our own expense at the request of the facility. Regardless of all of this, they gave us 45 days to find an alternative facility where we will have to uproot my father and help him transition to a new place with new people. Anyone who has ever worked with or loved someone in need of memory care understands how very difficult and painful this is for the patient as well as the family. Those with memory loss best thrive in stable environments and this facility is taking that away due to their lack of staff, training and expertise to provide appropriate memory care services. Therefore, I do not recommend this facility if your loved one currently needs or may eventually need memory care. When you most need their help and guidance, in the later, difficult stages of dementia, they may force you to leave, uprooting the only home and stability your family member currently knows and can remember.

My mother is in the Villas at Killearn Lakes. There are six individual villas, and in each villa there are 12 residents. Each villa has two caregivers.

My mother is in the Villas at Killearn Lakes. There are six individual villas, and in each villa there are 12 residents. Each villa has two caregivers. All the meals are eaten in the villas assigned to the person, and they have activities throughout the day, roughly from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. They have a marketing person or financial person. They probably have three RNs, they have a senior activities person, another activity person, they have a lead caregiver in each villa, and they have one other caregiver. They have two caregivers that are in each villa from roughly 6:00 a.m. to probably 8:00 p.m., and then probably 11:00 p.m., and then they have only one caregiver from 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.They usually have at least one music activity every day. They have two card games activities every day, at least one craft, and one other miscellaneous kind of thing.
