A great place to visit, and you would want to live here.

Beautiful facility, well kept, very clean. Excellent food with a variety of menu choices. Great people, who care about the residents. I have interacted with many of them. All great. Nurses, Doctor, Director, Sales, dining staff, Move in Director, not sure of title but exercise director, receptionists, billing manager. Hope I'm not leaving anyone out as they have all been great. They have church services, a variety of daily entertainment and activities. Exercise options. Standard cable TV and help set it up. In summary, much better than I ever expected.

Beware. This facility is Terrible.

Beware. This facility is terrible. We got our mom out as the conditions and care are awful. Shit was on the floors for weeks. The management could care less. They make it look good from the outside but the food, care and lack of cleanliness are major issues. You don’t want a loved one left at Sumter Senior Living.

Bad Experience

The memory care unit has 20 beds and there is rarely two people on duty to take care of patients needs. They do not allow bed alarms all pull for help alarms in the unit. While there, my has and fell numerous times and sometimes it took a while for them to get to him. He broke his hip and his right ankle while he was there. We were told they could not care for him with a broken ankle and would have to move him to rehab or pay a huge amount to have around the clock care. I moved him because neither of those options would work due to the added expense. We were refused reimbursement of more than $[removed] because they denied telling us that. Management bluntly called me a liar and also told a lawyer that I was lying about that. Please know, I did not lie to these people. Personally, I would not recommend this facility.

Lovely facility and happy staff

The piping in the AL building was being replaced on the second floor when we arrived, and we experienced cold showers for 13 days. The problem was a stripped valve. — not the piping. Three days after moving-in, our account was debited with no previous warning or explanation for an additional amount. The initial quote I received and for which I wrote our first check was incorrect. For three months, our rental invoices were incorrect — my account became my husband’s and his mine, which affected the amount sent to our long- term ins co for reimbursement. The new computer system did not save the data. Med aides were caring and good to us. The nursing staff was good. The dining room staff worked hard to please. Some meals were too spicy. Housekeeping was a big help by changing sheets weekly. A laundry room on each floor was a plus. More challenging activities other than trivia, movies and music would be welcomed by all. The CEO was available, and the receptionists welcoming.

Love living at Sumter Senior Living

We moved in at the end of January 2025. The people who work and live here are very friendly. They have many activities that my husband and I enjoy. The food is good; much better than we expected. We wanted to be in a place where we were still a part of The Villages and near our friends and the places we have shopped for the past 11 years. We are very happy that we chose this Grace Management Facility.

Beautiful Setting outside, Extremely disappointing inside

Our experience at Sumter Senior Living was far less satisfactory than expected. Beautiful building and grounds but that's all it has to offer. Poorly trained staff, mismanaged meds, roaches, lost laundry, sloppy housekeeping, up to 30 min call response, etc. Despite conferences with administrators who promised improvement, nothing improved. We moved our loved one out, he was miserable there. Too many sad, elderly, residents in the Assisted Living building didn't even notice. Independent Living building seemed to be better, most residents were more attentive to their surroundings there and thus adequate care was provided to them.

Highly recommend

This was our favorite place! Definitely all 5 stars. [name removed] was terrific. I loved our apartment and so did our little Pekinese-- she loved the inning around in our yard. It was worth every penny, but unfortunately we just could not afford it.

Would definitely recommend

My mom was confined to her lazy boy chair all day every day at home. We tried getting her a mobile chair but she could not get used to it in her home. At the facility it is more wide open for her to get around and be able to socialize. She is very happy now. However (as I'm sure with most residents) her transition was very hard. Mom had a hard time vocalizing what she needed the care tech's to do for her. She is completely paralyzed on one side and needs total care. We pay for level 6 (highest care) 2 person transfers and they never have a second person available to help so sometimes the techs have problems handling her because she is very over weight. So even thought paying for the extra care she does not always get it. The only other issue we may have is if she needs wound care it seems like a project to have the issue looked at. It was hard at first but now mom is very happy there so overall I believe we made the best decision for her.

First Memory Care Experience

After 62 years of being together in marriage the idea of living by myself is difficult. My wife is being taken care of probably not as well as I would like, but she seems to have adjusted. So far so good.

Not getting nursing care we're paying for

My answers are based on what my significant other has experienced. Although we chose Sumter Senior Living based on closeness to home and price, things are different now. After experiencing covid in rehab, he went from being a level one in medical care to a level 6. I don't feel that is just. It is now [fee removed] more than it was when we signed up one month ago. It is unaffordable and at the level of care we are paying for the room is often dirty. The sheets are not clean. Laundry is piled up, and I don't feel like he is getting stimulated by any activities at all. We are not getting what we are paying for. I would like to move him to a less expensive place and one that he would enjoy.

Sumter Place

Sumter Place/Sumter Senior Living is a beautiful facility it is clean and well maintained. The staff probably should be expanded some because the care is not living up to expectations as yet. Most work is done by Hospice members when it comes to patient care. The concern is only one hour a day for four or five days is dedicated to a Hospice patient. The rest of the time is up to facility staff and they only check every two hours to see if there is a problem. Falling is an issue so if someone falls right after a check time it could be a long time before help arrives. There are many little things that we feel should be improved but so far even after stating our opinion nothing is done. The plan is to stay with them for now but it will all depend on day to day care. Thank you to A Place for Mom for all you do.

Do not recommend

My experience is mostly with the memory care unit. Complete lack of communication, phone calls seldom returned . My husband was there for 3 months and was never shaved or had a haircut. He lost considerable weight, I was not informed his clothes were too big and needed new things. The Dr there did not accept his insurance so he was not seen by physician and I was never informed that he wasn't being seen. I was not living in the area and couldn't visit .

Review for Sumter Senior Living

If a freind asked me I would tell them NOT to take their loved one there. It's poorly organized, and staff plays on their cell phones while the residents are left alone (I have pictures) There are many things that need to be fixed there but they just don't seem to care.

Perfect place for Dad!

Sumpter Senior Living is an active, friendly community, my dad began making friends immediately. He enjoys the chef prepared meals and his favorite activity is going to the movie theater area each evening after dinner. They have a physical therapist on site and he has daily PT, which has been greatly beneficial for him. The Nursing staff helps my dad manage his meds and the staff is there to assist with anything he needs. There are a lot of wonderful assisted-living facilities in the area, it was a tough choice, but we made the right one.

Review for Sumter Senior Living

I would recommend to others. If a friend asked about Sumter Senior Living I would say that they were very responsive and organized when we were touring memory care places. My family liked the way the memory care unit was setup especially how the kitchen/dining/entertainment area was surrounded by the residents' rooms. The move-in was easy. Every time I visited the majority of residents were in the central area and not in their rooms. Staff was always wiling to help if we had a specific request. My father's room was always clean as was he and his clothes. He did pass in March.
