What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of Countryside Senior Living of Jacksonville and Angelina House are generally positive, though experiences vary. Countryside was described as peaceful, welcoming, clean-smelling, and well maintained, with large rooms, attractive common areas, ample parking, and a pleasant atmosphere. Reviewers appreciated the friendly staff, spacious accommodations, physical therapy, social opportunities, and helpful caregivers. However, one short-term resident’s family reported serious care concerns, including unchanged clothing, a urine-soaked bed, a dirty floor, inadequate catheter management, uncertain medication administration, and insufficient shower supervision. Remodeling also affected dining arrangements, with meals served in rooms or hallways rather than the dining room. Activities were considered enjoyable but could be more frequent; some were reportedly cancelled when staff had to drive residents to appointments. Angelina House received extensive praise for its compassionate and knowledgeable staff, cleanliness, organization, food, and attention to residents. Families highlighted the kindness of employees across all shifts and weekends, while residents described comfortable rooms with bathrooms and kitchenettes, flexible dining, housekeeping, exercise, devotionals, games, music, preaching, outdoor access, and frequent entertainment. Several reviewers strongly recommended the facility and felt residents were happy, safe, and well cared for. One reviewer mentioned occasional inconsistency in food quality and varying staff performance, but felt the overall experience was excellent. A contrasting Angelina House review found the facility older and less impressive, citing a small activity room, limited observed activities, unclear meal plans and fees, and an unstructured tour. Another family nevertheless reported being very satisfied with communication, individualized care, and the facility’s willingness to accommodate special requests, such as preparing a resident’s preferred birthday meal. Overall, the reviews emphasize caring staff and positive environments, while suggesting prospective families carefully assess staffing, care consistency, activities, meals, and current construction.

I moved to Dominican Oaks six years ago, and I can say with all honesty that it was a great decision. The staff are incredibly caring and welcoming, the other residents are friendly and compasionate, the food is really good and there's always something fun going on. It's got some lovely outdoor areas and I am actually finding it much more social than I originally thought it would be.
