I would recommend Angels Senior living to anyone.,who is considering placing a loved one in an Assisted living facility. I can't say enough how the staff have cared for mother, while she was their. They have gone above and beyond with my mother's care. A special shout out to Dana and Ashton, for everything thing you did for myself and my mother.

6 + years ago, my Mom was looking for a new home. Over 90 at the time, she was spry, clear headed and mobile. We found Angels in Lutz. Beautiful Assisted Living Facility pretty new at the time. It was very close to my home for quick visits (just to change remote batteries some times) but My Mom grew to love her 1-Bedroom at Angels. It was not the room, it was very nice and offered all she needed, but it was the people. From Dana and Nancy, Administrators, to Jo and Maria and the entire staff, I believe they loved each other. My Mom passed away last week. I am heartbroken, but I know that her time at Angels was such a blessing for these last 6-years. It is not just a home, but quickly becomes your extended family.<br>Thank you FOR EVERYTHING you all did for my Mom. It will not be forgotten.<br>Michael Travis

My mom had an amazing experience at Angels Senior Living. She truly loved everyone there, and everyone loved her. Both the staff and the residents were always kind, caring, and welcoming. They regularly stopped by to talk with her, making her feel valued, loved, and part of the family. Their kindness was reflected in the beautiful smile she shared with everyone. We are deeply grateful for the compassion and care they showed her.

We were lucky enough to find a home for Dad last December at Angels Senior Living at The Lodges of Idewild in Lutz. He was evacuated from his home in Elance' two years ago during the hurricanes that devastated our coast. We moved him three times because of substandard care at local facilities since then and when Angels Senior Living had a vacancy we didn't hesitate to drive 41 miles to visit this facility. Wow. We immediately fell in love with the facility, the vibe, the food, the apartments and most importantly the staff. Everyone embraced our Dad the moment they met him. He felt like he was "home" and surrounded by staff that tended to his every need. His care was consistently excellent in every situation and he was always treated with dignity and respect. He would often say "I love it here" and the staff always told us how much they loved him. Sadly he passed away two weeks ago but he was surrounded by the loving care of the staff and us as a family. Both my wife and I are retired and are living independently at this point but given the care our Dad got at the Lodges of Idewild we wouldn't hesitate to move there if our health needs changed anytime soon. They simply are "the best of the best."
