Although Mom didn’t want to leave Florida, she has been delighted here. Food is always available and tasty. She loves that she can eat when she wants, and the chef is very accommodating. Residents and staff are friendly and helpful. It’s a family feeling community where everyone looks out for each other.

I cannot say enough good things about this facility. The outstanding staff treats us as guests, not residents. Our dog has a fully equipped two-bedroom/two-bath suite, which he permits us to share. Unlike other facilities, each room of our suite has a separate ac/heating unit. The dining room is open twelve hours a day, and we can choose from a varied menu and when to dine. Activities and transportation are available daily.

Having lived for several years in a large retirement community with an institutional feel, we love the scale of Bartlett Reserve. It’s a friendly community with a real family feel. Before, we had to have reservations for dinner; here, we can eat from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and the food is fresh and cooked to order. We’ve been here for almost nine months and have made many new friends. We wouldn’t change anything.
