Advent Christian Village: Dacier Manor is an assisted living community in Live Oak, Florida, in the Dowling Park area. It serves adults age 60 and older who need help with daily living but do not require skilled nursing care. The stated admission criteria also include health guidelines approved by a physician. Advent Christian Village describes itself as faith-based and open to people from all backgrounds. Its broader setting extends across more than 1,200 acres along the Suwannee River; that description refers to the village as a whole, not Dacier Manor’s immediate grounds.
The organization lists independent living, skilled nursing, and memory support among Advent Christian Village’s broader housing and care options. Those are village-wide offerings, not services attributed here to Dacier Manor. Dacier Manor is identified as the village’s assisted living option and part of its continuum of care. Separately, the village’s independent-living portfolio includes more than 300 rental residences, ranging from mid-rise apartment buildings and ground-level duplexes to cluster apartments and town-home apartments. Those are village-wide housing choices, not Dacier Manor room types.

Resident & family reviews
3.8 · 16 reviewsThe Memory Care unit at Advent Christian Village was a godsend for my mom and my family. We had a horrible experience at another facility in Lake City. The Memory Care unit in the Skilled Nursing home comes highly recommended to me by nurses who have worked there and another family who had their parents there. There is low staff turnover, the facility always smells clean, the food is good and the staff are very caring. Until now, I have only able to visit on the weekends so I can't judge the activities. I hope to see what activities are offered soon and will update this review accordingly.…

The Memory Care unit at Advent Christian Village was a godsend for my mom and my family. We had a horrible experience at another facility in Lake City. The Memory Care unit in the Skilled Nursing home comes highly recommended to me by nurses who have worked there and another family who had their parents there. There is low staff turnover, the facility always smells clean, the food is good and the staff are very caring. Until now, I have only able to visit on the weekends so I can't judge the activities. I hope to see what activities are offered soon and will update this review accordingly. Advent Christian Village has been a blessing.
This home is excellent. They have cared for my brother for the past year and a half and he’s happy and content. His room is always clean and he’s always groomed. They never know when I’m going to visit. I just pop in anytime any day of the week. I have peace when I leave him that he’s being cared for with compassion.
My Grampa was well and respectfully cared for here until he passed due to cancer. The nurses were present and attentive and the Chaplain came to sit with him as well. I actually teared up at the genuine care being given to him. I will always be grateful. My Nana also recovered there from a fall she had suffered, she appreciated the care and truly enjoyed the food.

I rarely saw smiles, memory loss patients never went outside because there were not enough nurses or helpers to attend to them. A bill of $40 was put on the plate for lunch. Individuals that worked there would not defend the patients even though they saw abuse (was told they didn't want to see it).
Everyone that cared for my husband had the same goal. The teams communicated very well to achieve the same outcome. Physical Therapy was consistent in achieving the strength needed to go home . Charlie loved his CNA's and their smiles everyday . He enjoyed all of the meals and fellowship at the table . Being in a Christian environment for care was inspirational and made him feel comfortable . Thank you and God Bless Good Samaritan Center.
I have had the pleasure of recovering from injuries multiple times at Good Sam and was truly blessed by the care and attitudes shown me by all who ministered to me.... they are the BEST
Update: I never asked the facility, where my mother currently resides, to send a referral to Good Samaritan. This was done without my consent. ************************************* On 5/1/2023, I spoke with Diana Friar in Admissions at Good Samaritan (Good Sam) on the phone. After reviewing my mother's records sent by the hospital, she provided me with verbal approval that Good Sam will accept my mother. A week later, however, I've learned from the hospital that Good Sam has officially declined my mother without providing any reason! I left several messages with Good Sam but they've not even returned my calls. Very uncool. GOOD SAM is BAD SAM. Shame on them. Now I can only speculate the possible concerns that Bad Sam had about my mother.
Absolutely the worst in the entire county. Did not help my mother and she died with no one around because she fell out of her bed and got a concussion.
