I used to love Starling and the services it provided. However I noticed a significant change this spring. I know there were changes with the management team and I don’t think those changes were a good idea. I’ve noticed staff seem less happy and excited to be there. Turnover has been terrible. And I feel like it’s not the same it used to be. It pains me to write this because I always thought this was the greatest community in the area and I no longer feel that way. Honestly, if I could give it zero stars, I would.

My wife was a resident of Starling Ponte Vedra for one and one/half years, until she was evicted 2-9-26. She has been in a wheelchair for the past year and Starting evidently had no trouble transferring her from wheelchair to bed during that time. All of a sudden a new memory care director arrives and within about three weeks four residents, all in wheelchairs, were evicted. The reason was stated as “too difficult to transfer, needs skilled nursing “. The problem is Starting does not possess a ECC (Extended Congregate Care” license.

My wife was a resident of Starling Ponte Vedra for one and one/half years, until she was evicted 2-9-26. She has been in a wheelchair for the past year and Starting evidently had no trouble transferring her from wheelchair to bed during that time. All of a sudden a new memory care director arrives and within about three weeks four residents, all in wheelchairs, were evicted. The reason was stated as “too difficult to transfer, needs skilled nursing “. The problem is Starting does not possess a ECC (Extended Congregate Care” license. Memory Care Facilities with a ECC license can provide extended care that Starling cannot provide. So if you are looking to place a loved one in a memory care facility, you are much further ahead by finding a place that provides ECC coverage rather than going to a facility that can only provide very basic care, then evicts the resident when additional care is required.

The resident's and staff are remarkable especially Dininig staff.

Great staff & beautiful decor!

The remodeling project at Starling Ponte Vedra has been completed. I must admit the results are stunning. It is bright, cheerful and impressive. Upon first glance a 5 star resort comes to mind. The best part of the facility is however it’s staff. From the Director throughout the organization everyone gives 100%. All are approachable and do listen to any concerns. Having my mother there after her stroke is a very good thing. My siblings and I are impressed. Well done.

I recently attended the celebration for the newly renovated Starling at Ponte Vedra and it was such a wonderful experience! The updates to the facility are beautiful!! Everything feels so warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed for both residents and visitors. The staff went above and beyond hosting the event; everyone was so welcoming, and you could really feel the sense of community and pride. It’s clear that a lot of care went into both the renovation and the celebration itself. I had such a great time and left feeling truly impressed by the atmosphere and the people.

Great job in caring for memory care residents. 100 percent better than the care facility on Palm Valley Rd.
