I loved my tour and Adrianna too! You should come see this place! And my friend Sue says so too!
I recently toured Grand Living at Lakewood Ranch and was so impressed by the quality of the entire community. It truly felt like walking through a luxury resort—absolutely beautiful! The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming. A special thank you to Adriana for the fantastic tour and for making the experience so informative and enjoyable!

My 81 year old sister lived there for a year and a half. She loved it, including the food, staff and other friendly residents. It is a beautiful facility with lots of amentities. Trish was amazing!
We toured Grand Living at Lakewood Ranch. We would have taken it in a heartbeat. It had what we liked, but it cost $8,000 a month. We can't afford that, but for somebody who has money, that will not be a problem with them. It is an excellent place. They're high class. Tyler, who took us around, was excellent. He was so good to us. We went to see it with my husband's daughter, and all liked it. She even liked it, but when we started thinking that it's a lot of money to come up with every month, it would likely end up being even more because we would also have to pay for my husband as a second person. The food was excellent. They have several dining rooms that you can eat in.
We had an exceptional experience on our visit. Tyler was very professional and answered all of our questions. We toured all of the facilities and had a delicious lunch.
I had a wonderful experience at the Grand. The place is absolutely magnificent and there are no signs of it ever being a facility that resembles a full-time nursing home. No carts or meds to be seen and all meds are under lock and key in the residents individual living quarters. Nurses are donned in
Very impressive first impression!
