Homey atmosphere

Such a welcoming, homey environment. They truly care about the guests living there. Activities are good and perfect for our situation as my mom moves into Medicaid. They are handling all the required paperwork which makes life so much easier for me 8 hours away.

Our families experience

What we like the most about Best Care Senior Living is that they genuinely care about my mom. However, there could be some improvement on communication between staff. Overall I'm happy my mom is there and we would definitely recommend this community to other families

My brother, [name removed] loves the care he is receiving from the staff at Best Care, Winter Haven.

The staff are very professional and perform their duties in a very caring manner. When my brother had a medical episode, the staff quickly responded to ensure the appropriate medical care was taken. Also, the office staff are working with my brother by facilitating the application for necessary government benefits.

Compassionate care for your loved one
