Proud of the Pond
I love living at Golden Pond, I’ve been here almost 3 years. My Mother is here she is 96 and she thanks God every night for the Pond since 2014. My Sister-In Law’s Mother lives here since 2015. It is home for us and we feel loved and taken care of at the Pond. In my opinion the food is good [name removed] the Chef is always open to new ideas. The med techs are attentive and know there residents. As always there are always those who complain about everything but remember these are Senior Residents and you’re not going to please everyone. [Names removed] are always ready to listen and do their best to satisfy your every need and I thank them for that.

Very Safe Place
I want to thank the Administrator and the staff for a job well done. We are totally protected from this virus. So many steps are taken before anyone comes into the facility including staff. Our new Director Mr. [name removed] has done a wonderful job in keeping residents safe. Not only an I a resident but my Mother of 96 is here, as well as my Sister-in-Law’s Mother 97 is also at the Golden Pond. Thank you Mr. [name removed] and your Staff for giving us a safe place in this facility.

Great care!!!
The CNAs do the very best they can. They work very hard and are very friendly to the residents and the families. The only reason I gave 4 stars for cleanliness is that there is no attention to detail. At first glance everything is great but the attention to the little details is lacking. But, they are so busy that it isn't their fault. My mom is treated with care and compassion which to me is more important than if her clothes are all hung up properly. I highly recommend Golden Pond Reflections for memory care.

God’s blessings
My name is [name removed] I have been at the Golden Pond since December of 2013. I thank God ever night for the Pond and their staff. I’m 94 years old and I love sitting on my patio, everybody has one. My favorite activity is bingo, I’m not able to do everything they offer because of my sight. The staff is wonderful every shift knows me and comes to my room to just say hello I love them all. They are always there to assist me with whatever I need. My neighbor is 102 and I love her, well we are just a big family and I love them all. I can’t go on the trips they have but that’s ok. I love getting my hair fixed every Tuesday morning, that is something I never did before I came here. My 3 children are very close so that’s a good thing too. I can’t say enough good things about the Golden Pond and I hope I can stay here for the rest of my life. I’m kinda like the in-house welcome wagon I want to help the new residents to adjust being here. There are so many good things I just can’t name them all but I can honestly say there is nothing bad about being here. It is truly a wonderful place.

Outstanding place to live
My name is [name removed] and I have been a resident for a year and a half. As a resident I am very happy here at the Pond. The staff is wonderful, I could not ask for any better treatment. This is my home but it feels more like a resort and it is beautiful. The menu is prepared by a nutritionist so I get a well balanced diet and it is good. There is a Nurse on duty 24/7 and the med techs are always ready to assist me in any way necessary. It is a family environment because you learn to know everyone through the activities they have planned everyday. We go on trips every week whether its to the thrift store, the grocery store, drug store or to the ice cream shop in Winter Garden, you just sign up and we are taken on the bus. Honestly I can’t think of one negative thing to say, which is unusual. I don’t have to do a thing, everything is done for me and that suits me just fine.

Thank you Golden Pond for taking care of my wife.
I was reluctant to have my wife leave our home. I was not able to give her the care she deserved any more. I was concerned for her being cared for the way I wanted her to be. My concerns were set at ease once I met the nurses and CNAs. Their caring and compassion is on view daily.I get updates on her when I visit. They have activities to keep the residents engaged. Since this is a memory care unit, there is structured activities to their abilities. The nurses and CNAs greet the residents by name when they are taking care of them and when they enter the room at shift change. The Executive Director and Business Director are accessible. Some residents require more care than others and the nurses and CNAs show no change in attitude of care. I am thankful for Golden Pond and am comfortable about leaving her in good hands after a visit.

Settling in quite nicely
My mom is settling in nicely, she really likes her room and she is even started to take part in the activities which was a nice surprise to me. Mom enjoys going to the dining room where she can visit with the other residents and she even likes the food. The community is very nice, clean, bright and has a nice courtyard where the residents can go and visit

I took a tour!!
When I toured the Golden Pond Communities, I thought it was a very good place. It was clean and everyone was very friendly. The tour guide was prepared to take me on the tour when I got there, but I found a place that fits my mother's needs better.

a reasonable place for Mom
Food service not very appetizing, food area floors not kept clean, staff friendly and helpful, lots of volunteers help with the activities and entertainment,
The staff provides a good safe environment that insures the residents get their medications on time.
Good quality medical attention and physical therapy is provided.

I would recommend Golden Pond!!!
The staff at this community are friendly and attentive. The only thing my dad thinks is that they are a little understaffed. He is satisfied with the food and he has started to participate in some of the activities. The community is kept clean.

Management Issues
My mom has been here for two years. This organization cannot keep management staff and it is frustrating. We are now on our fourth administrator, fifth director of nursing (who I think is an LPN, even though when we signed up it was advertised as an RN on site) and the third activities director. The housecleaning staff changes just as frequently so you never know who is going to be in the room. The ONLY bright spot is that her aides have been consistent and are wonderful and caring. The facility is clean and well cared for. The food is okay but not great. The head chef has also changed repeatedly. Fortunately, her doctor visits her at the facility and I can coordinate medical care through his office which has been wonderful.

Worth Consideration
My mother with mild to moderate Alzheimer's is there. She needs help with a medical device attachment, also. She has, on several occasions, gotten the pouch detached from her body causing bodily fluids to spill. I had a problem with the staff maintaining the correct adhesive for her. They have the information for the devices; I pay extra for them to order and maintain them for her.
The facility is very pretty; the grounds are well-maintained. The inside of the individual buildings is quaint; nothing fancy. There are animals for the residents to care for and look at, there is a pool table, and a big screen TV with a couple couches. I know there is a bingo game regularly. I don't think there are many chances for the residents to get out among each other; at least not from what I see.
I think the staff should get the residents outside more often for exercise and to get them out of the rooms. Maybe they do already, and I just don't see it or my mother may not remember.
The rooms are rather small, but not too tiny. There is good closet space. The bathroom is nice and of good size.
The food seems to be mostly pretty good. My mom can be rather finicky; she sometimes says it's no good. I am allowed to bring her in outside food, and I do.
The value of Golden Pond is very good. I checked about a dozen facilities before deciding on there. For the money, the facilities are among the best, and the location was the most convenient for me. The manager, Allison Dion, was very pleasant and helpful to me.
Overall, I would recommend someone looking for a facility to give them a look.

This place is divine. The Memory Care Unit is excellent, all the nurses are on top of the care of the patients, the doctors make regular weekly visits and are usually the same people. The selling point was the fact that the Memory Care Unit is well built with all patients having access to outside courtyard, directly from their rooms so that they are able to get fresh air when they wanted. I highly recommended this property it was well worth the monthly cost.

incredibly friendly
The staff there is incredibly friendly, which was one of the major things that initially drew us in to Golden Pond Communities.
The atmosphere is very helpful and welcoming, more so than the other places that we did visit. Mom is having a somewhat hard time adjusting, but they are trying to help her as much as they possibly can. It's an adjustment process, for sure. We have had very good response when we've had a question, etc.
It's been a very good experience and I would highly recommend Golden Pond Communities.

Very friendly and welcoming staff
My loved one was not here for long, but I felt like they did a great job in the short time that they had. It was a nice looking, well kept, and clean facility. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The director came in on one of her days off to be able to meet my loved one on her move-in day.

They were only a four because of the staff members being so great.
They were too broken up they had separate buildings. It was dark, it was ok but for an elderly person that gets confused or has to move around, and can't it was complicated for them, and I felt like they would get lost in there. It was clean and the people were friendly and were ready to make a deal. They were only a four because of the staff members being so great.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Florida regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Florida regulations for Assisted Living.
