July 2026 my elderly mother stayed at Marina Isle Assisted Living for 1 week utilizing the respite care services. My wife and I have cared for her the last several years. Mom can no longer stay by herself if we want to take a short vacation. We checked several facilities offering respite care and for us, thankfully chose Marina Isle. It has turned out to be the perfect place. Our first contact was with Jessica in Marketing. She was thorough, walking us thru the facility while explaining the services. We met some of the employees and were pleased with all of our interactions. I returned with mom to the facility a few days later. Jessica showed us around. All that we encountered was positive. As a side note.. both my dad and mother in law had alzheimer's. My wife and I were directly involved in their care as well. My dad had to be placed in facilitie(s) with memory care. We are very knowledgeable about the good and BAD with healthcare in these type of facilities. Moving forward, after meeting with Jody the facility administrator we decided Marina Isle checked all the boxes. Mom's stay was more then we could hope for. Mom was welcomed by staff and residents. She enjoyed the meals and the variety of alternative choices. The facility is on the shoreline of Lake Monroe. She saw 4 manatee next to the sea wall. There were numerous activities she participated in . She said the staff was very friendly with her. Also each of our children visited mom on separate days with their children. They were welcomed at the facility. Jody and Jessica both were very kind and informative with any interaction I had with them. We are going to continue to use the respite care at Marina Isle on a somewhat regular basis. If the day comes that mom needs to stay in an assisted living facility we will have existing relationships with the folks at Marina Isle. My wife and I highly recommend this facility based on our experience and observations.
I really appreciate Marinha Isle. My mom gets good care and makes friends. The food is just like home and the aids are kind and treat Mom like she was their own.
Awesome place. Right on the water near the marina. Employees are always available to help or direct you to someone who can help. Sonia is front desk clerk. She is very helpful and friendly. Awesome lady. Betty does my laundry. Some stains are tuff to get out but she manages to get them out. Love talking with her. Momma cleans my room. She does it very well. Lovely lady.

My mom loves it at Marina Isle, and has made several friends. The staff is magnificent!!
I absolutely love Marina Isle! The community is beautiful, and the view of the lake is breathtaking. The staff is amazing and truly goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Jessica is an absolute pro at what she does. She makes the entire process easy, seamless, and stress-free, and she’s always available to answer questions and help every step of the way.
I want to start by saying that the location of this assisted living home is truly beautiful. The views are peaceful and enjoyable, and the setting itself is one of the best parts of the facility. It’s clear that a lot of families would find comfort in the environment alone. Unfortunately, our experience has been negatively impacted by one particular staff member in the dining area. A food server named Raygan has repeatedly spoken to my grandfather in a disrespectful and dismissive way. Residents in assisted living deserve patience, kindness, and dignity at all times, and this behavior has been extremely disappointing and concerning as a family member. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the issue, because with better staff interactions, this facility could truly live up to its potential.
My grandmother live here for about 5 and a half years before passing earlier this year at the age of 96. Jody and her team are the kindest, most professional people I have ever met and my grandmother became family there. While she was the only resident there when they originally opened their doors at the hight of COVID, they did so much for her. Jody is family to me and always will be. I will be eternally grateful for how my grandmother's final years were filled with love, laughter and joy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about this facility and the amazing team who helped care for my dad. Although I was recently given a 45-day notice due to my dad’s declining health, I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done and the relationships we’ve built along the way. A huge thank you to Jessica, the marketer, who made the entire process smooth and stress-free for me from the very beginning. And to Jody, the manager, a woman of action! She handled most of the communication with such kindness, professionalism, and compassion — I truly appreciate all of her support. From the incredible cook, Leslie, to the wonderful housekeepers Maria and Regina, everyone made my dad feel comfortable and cared for. A special thanks also to Tyra, who provided my dad’s medications with so much patience and respect. My dad loved the friendliness and warmth of the entire staff, and I can only hope and pray that his next place will be just as loving and compassionate as this one. Thank you all for everything you’ve done for my dad and our family. ❤️
