We went to the Southern Lifestyle Senior Living Center. The thing we liked about it was when you go in there, you can take a lot of your own stuff with you, your own furnishings and that kind of stuff. Most of the people we talked to there seemed to be very happy with it, the outdoor space they had, and activities that went on within the building. The day we were there that morning, they had an exercise class going on, and there was a lot of local people that volunteered to come in and help too. We had to wear a facemask, a gown, and stuff, and we didn't want to create all that disruption, but we talked to the cook and one of the waitresses, they serve at their restaurant, and it looked fine. They were all very helpful, very nice people. We actually met the receptionist, the gal that was at the front desk where we went in, and we talked to her just a little bit, and then the sales assistant or something, she's the one that got us into gowns and stuff like that. She's the one that took us on a tour. They showed us the different rooms, you know, the options we had, and the place where they dined, then recreation. She took us all through the building and they were very nice. The cleanliness was very good. I was impressed with that. Everything was clean, and that's with all the COVID and everything that was going on.

My father had a stroke and was in need of Assisted Living after this event. We were able to work with Tara W. to transfer my father from the rehabilitation center. Because of the CornaVirus we had to accomplish all of this on a remote basis. Tara W. helped us plan this transissin helped us get the correct furniture moved and managed getting my father moved over and settled in his assisted living room. She checks on him daily to be sure he is doing well. This move would not have happened as smoothly as it did if not for Tara and the staff at Southern Living. These are crazy times and Tara and here team have made it great fro my Dad!!

The staff goes above and beyond to care for its residents.They are compassionate and caring. Tara is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She has always been available to us to answer our questions. They have done an excellent job taking care of our father.

Toured this facility today for my grandmother! Everything was super clean and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were a perfect size with their own private toilet and shower! While visiting, they had awesome entertainment - an amazing pianist! The residents seemed to be so happy with the activities going on. I saw several assisted living places in the area, but this is definitely where I will choose for my grandmother!

After visiting Southern Lifestyle Assited Living we found the staff extremely friendly and caring. We were served lunch which was fabulous. We liked that all Southern Lifestyle rooms have a shower in them. Upon touring other ALF's the shower is down the hall and shared by entire floor both male and female. The entertainment for residents was by far the best over the other ALF's. While there they had karaoke for the residents which was so fun. We are definately moving our Mom in here.

I visited this facility with my great grandmother (aging, but still beautiful heiress to a dental floss fortune) and she absolutely loved it! She has lived in a beautiful ocean side estate for most of her life, but now in her later years she needs attentive care close to her family. The staff was so kind and cheerful. She can’t wait to move in!

Best Assisted Living in Highlands County. Nurse in charge of facility is excellent. Very knowledgable and cares about your loved ones medications administered correctly and ontime. Staff is very caring and treats residents like they are family. Facility is clean and updated. Food is fantastic, very healthy with many choices. Facility has activities daily and is always hosting events to entertain the residents. I would highly recommend as no other ALF compares.

We visited a friend at Southern Lifestyle Senior Living Center. It's somewhere that I could live. They were friendly and very nice. The rooms were well cared for, looked very pleasant, and were clean. I know the social director that works there and I know they do a lot of entertaining for the people. They have a nice outside area where you can go in. The staff member that I talked to was very informative.

For the most part, Southern Lifestyle is fabulous. The rooms are huge and wonderful. My dad’s room fits a dresser, his big reclining chair, and a table with chairs, so it’s like his own little home. The bathroom is huge with lots of room and a walk-in shower. It’s just wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about them. We had one little incident, I made a phone call, and it was taken care of immediately, so I’ve been thrilled. They take them out of the facility for lunch or to doctors' appointments or wherever they need to go. There are activities all day, all of the time. There are lots of things dad could do if he wants to. All in all, it’s been really good. He’s happy there and making friends of his own age. Their dining is more of like family-style. The manager is fabulous. It’s like walking into your home there.

We went to Southern Life Style. They had lots of activities going on. They had an activities director. It was very bright, light, and airy. It had a nice more open atmosphere. The staff seemed very nice. However, the rooms did not have kitchenette, and they did not have laundry facilities available for the residents. They do the laundry for them. They had a lot of musical programs. They play games. I thought they had shopping trips twice a month. The security was exceptional. However, I thought it was restricted for assisted living.

I visited Southern Lifestyle and I was impressed by the facility. I did not choose it because it was probably 10-12 miles farther from where I lived. It was clean, well-arranged and had plenty of space. The staff were great and the rooms were nice. I would commend this place to others.

My mother has been at Southern Lifestyle for just over a year and is very happy there. She enjoys playing cards, Wii games, and seeing most of the entertainers that come there. There is something going on every day and if she chooses to stay in her room, she is free to do that too. It's a beautiful place, with kind and considerate caregivers that my mother is very fond of. Like many others, she didn't want to leave her home, but realized she could no longer live alone. She chose this ALF and has never been sorry she did. When I visit, all of the staff is very friendly and helpful if I have questions. Everything is also kept very clean and attractive. I hope Southern Lifestyle is still there if I ever need an ALF!

The staff seems to be very kind and willing to help the residents. I did not have any problems with them when I went in to visit my best friend's grandmother. They helped me find her quickly and left us to ourselves. The resident I went to visit seems to be happy with the care they provide. The facility itself is beautiful and provides lots of little fun things for its residents like mini golf and game night.

I have been to many facilities in my 75 years but non better than Southern lifestyle. the personal there are the most prfesional I have ever meet. I would highly recomend this facility to anyone needing a place to put their loved one.

Given the number of retirees in Central Florida, there are plenty of assisted living facilities and nursing homes to choose from. This has inspired a good deal of competition which works out well for those staying in them. Southern Lifestyles has a new facility which is extremely clean and well laid out. There are many recreation areas, all dedicated to different activities, located throughout the building. They have on the grounds a miniature golf course, shuffleboard, card rooms, TV rooms and quiet areas suitable for reading. I am a local pastor who has frequented this facility to visit elderly members of my congregation and also to perform a weekly church service. Their chapel is small but beautifully decorated with hand-painted murals. In my opinion Southern Lifestyles puts a modest effort into caring for the faith life of its residents. The staff are always friendly, though there are frequent mutterings about the quality of management (an omnipresent muttering in assisted living facilities in general). When I have someone come to me with questions about assisted living the first place I generally direct them to is Southern Lifestyles.

Nice place.Not real big so i think it's more homey than some.Everyone is very friendly and helpful.The staff act like they really care about the residents and their needs. The staff goes out of their way to help make everything ok.

my mom lives here and the staff are wonderful, helpful and go above and beyond when caring for her. Everyone from the management team to the housekeepers are very polite.

Nice community. Hard working staff.

The staff is great, the receptionist answered all of my questions. I love the fact that there is a nurse on call 24/7. The HR manager is very helpful, the BOM is there when I need money, and the administrator is very nice.

When moving my dad into Bedrock Care at Southern Life the director [name removed] keeps us informed about our dad. [name removed] is so sweet, the maintenance director [name removed] is so helpful with putting big items together always has a smile.

After visiting Southern Lifestyle Assited Living we found the staff extremely friendly and caring. We were served lunch which was fabulous. We liked that all Southern Lifestyle rooms have a shower in them. Upon touring other ALF's the shower is down the hall and shared by entire floor both male and female.

Our tour of Southern Lifestyle was very nice! The staff were very friendly and the residents in the lobby were very lively and willing to say hello and talk to you. There are many activities to enjoy in the large activity room. My loved one also liked the rooms, as well as the fact that there are large closets. Overall, this facility is very nice!

I recently toured this facility with Michele, who was both kind and informative. It’s clear they have been actively working on improvements to create a more welcoming and comfortable space for residents. Choosing a care home for a loved one is a significant and emotional decision, and I'm relieved I took the tour. I highly recommend contacting Michele for her genuine care and support during this challenging process.

What a lovely family location!! I was looking for a place for my mom and dad and after visiting Southern Life Assisting Living and speaking with Michele Postell, I realized this is the perfect facility for them. Michele was extremely helpful, caring and concern about my unique situation. She assisted me with getting all of the forms needed to enroll my mom. In addition, she continue to work with me so that when my dad leave Rehab he will join my mom at the facility. I don't know what I would have done without the help of Michele. Thanks Michele for being so patient and caring during this difficult time.

Wonderful place for your loved ones. Michele took wonderful care of my grandmother and I. She explained the process and made us feel right at home.

There are so many wonderful things about this community. The activities are spectacular, the care is amazing and makes me and my family feel at ease that our grandparents are there. Ms. Courtney is such a kind and genuine soul. The moment you step foot into Bedrock Care at Southern Life you can feel the warmth radiating off the staff and residents. That’s just a glimpse of what a great job she is doing at this community. If you are looking for a clean, professional, family oriented place that will provide exceptional care to your loved ones RUN to this community, don’t walk! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

We have had a positive experience at Southern Lifestyles. The staff is marvelous. They will go out of their way to make sure the residents are safe and happy. There are daily activities to engage the residents mentally and physically. Church services are important to my Mom and she thoroughly enjoys them. The change of ownership is a plus for this facility. They are fixing and polishing the edges. We are excited to see the changes to the building as they update.

I have had an exceptional experience with Southern Lifestyle. My father needed a safe place to live quickly and unfortunately we live 1500 miles away (and no ability to travel due to Covid-19) but Tara Ward of Southern Lifestyle came to our rescue. She not only helped facilitate a safe move quickly, she spent the extra time with my father to make sure he felt comfortable on the first night in his new surroundings. She also spent extra time with me reassuring my family that my father was okay. She even sent a picture! Her kindness and caring is appreciated.

Excellent facility. Staff is always cheerful, administration very helpful, with engaging activities, supported by great food. I always enjoy my visits. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you Southern Lifestyle, we appreciate all you do! Keep up the good work!

From administration to staff, they are an amazing group of caregivers. They are truly compassionate and love their residents. Its refreshing to see the happiness and quality of life Southern gives to its residents.
