Stories from our residents, their family members and care givers.

My family and I have had a family member here for over 10 years. Fortunately for us, almost all the staff we started with still works there. That is saying something for any business. Their activities are exceptional, their activity, director, and other workers go above the call of duty. The place is well managed, always clean and the food is delicious. We are confident when we go out of town that our loved ones will be taken care of exceptionally well. I can’t say enough for Allegro Fleming Island. My family and I are very fortunate that this facility is so accessible.
Rhonda Dobson Family Member
My mom lived at Allegro for almost four years. She loved her apartment and enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds. She made many new friends and enjoyed their company at meals and activities. The staff was very caring and compassionate. It was a great experience for her and our family.
Pam Greer Family Member
My mother lived at Allegro for over 3 years. We were impressed with the staff and their services. The activities that were available were outstanding. She was happy and my husband and I decided that when it was time, we would move here. We’ve been here for 7 years and are very satisfied. We have a lovely apartment, housekeeping and food services and wonderful staff members. We highly recommend Allegro Fleming Island to all.
Nancy Walker Family Member
My mom has been at Allegro for 7 years and thoroughly loves her life there. She had an immediate sense of family upon moving in. Brenda Basham and her entire activities crew do a super job making sure there are a variety of activities to please all residents. Mom loves being busy and always is on the go. Truly a wonderful senior living community!
Deborah Knickerbocker Family Member
Having worked closely with Allegro of Boynton Beach for the past year, I am not surprised that they have won US News Best of Award for Best Assisted Living and Independent Living. I highly recommend Allegro of Boynton Beach for anyone searching for a senior living community. Everyone I have encountered there has been so delightful from Erica, their Executive Director, to Aimee and Brock in sales and Sandra, Allegro’s Resident Care Manager.
Dillon Fedak Caregiver
I love this place for my father-in-law! Erica has been outstanding as the Administrator, addressing every concern we’ve had with care and professionalism. She does an exceptional job, and we couldn’t be more grateful for my father-in-law, Mike, to be in such a great facility.
Rick Brown Family Member
I lived here for about a year now and I love my apartment. My friends come each week to play canasta with me in bistro. My experience with Erica, Aimee and the other members have all been positive. No where is perfect but I like it here however the food problem.
Carole Moss Resident
My grandma moved to Allegro a few months ago, and I got to have dinner with her tonight. She is so happy and has so many friends. This was so important for her and Allegro has just been amazing. I have to thank Aimee so much for everything, she helped us through every step and truly made her feel so welcome.
Randall Guard Family Member
Love this place! Amazing staff and sales team. Made the process of transitioning my dad @88 seamless. They are attentive and kind.....my dad never wants to leave!
Drew T Family Member
Tiandra is great with the residents. She keeps them busy and active.
Hazel Eyez Caregiver
Alto Clermont, previously Crane's View Lodge, is a great facility for those in need of additional assistance throughout daily life. If you or a loved one are no longer able to manage medication, can no longer travel safely to doctor's appointments or if you are simply just ready for the next step in life where you want to age gracefully, this is a wonderful choice here in Clermont. With its resort-style community, you'll be able to live life to its fullest, with the care you both need and deserve.
Hilary Gamelin Caregiver
Today is my dad’s two week Alto anniversary. His transition to Alto Clermont has exceeded expectations in many ways. The Alto team clearly makes it their daily mission to acknowledge and engage, encourage and invite. They do these things exceedingly well, and it has played a critical role in the ease and comfort of my dad settling into his new home. With Alto’s support and encouragement, my dad has enjoyed social hours, ice cream parties, live music, chair aerobics, and walking club. The food served in the dining room and snack areas is excellent. Medication administration is conscientious and on point. Even the PT sessions have proven to be another source of enjoyment and connection for him. Bravo, Alto Clermont, and thank you for taking great care of my dad.
Scott Boyles Family Member
Beautiful & happy community. After meeting with Sarah and Cheryl I have a different outlook on memory care for my loved one in the future.
Liz Foster Family Member
We picked Alto on a leap of faith after a family tragedy left us needing a new place for my grandmother with only 24 hours notice. I contacted Cheryl who was INCREDIBLE from start to finish. She made the entire process so fast and smooth, and even came out to visit my grandmother the very same day we called her. She advocated heavily for my grandmother every step of the way, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her! My grandmother has settled in nicely at Alto and has made friends rather quickly (she’s basically a Bingo aficionado now). Thank you infinitely for everything, Cheryl!
Samantha Muhlbach Family Member
Chris, Evan, and Scott are wonderful to work with and do a really great job of making residents feel special. Their nurse, Lauren, also deserves special recognition because she is hard-working, ethical and is always going above and beyond for her clients. The building is also just lovely.
Laura Huisking Caregiver
I have toured many assisted living communities in the Bergen County area in recent months. Allegro in Harrington Park was, by far, the most attractive community I visited, and it sits in a beautiful natural setting. The residents seem very friendly, and the recreation/activity offerings are terrific. Both Chris and Evan have been extremely helpful and patient during the process of exploring Allegro as an option for my parents.
Susan McKee Family Member
I cannot say enough good things about Allegro senior living at Harrington Park. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure every resident feels like part of a big family. The care provided is exceptional. The caregivers are not only professional and highly skilled, but they are also genuinely compassionate and attentive to the individual needs of each resident. They treat everyone with dignity and respect. There are plenty of activities and social events to keep the residents engaged and active in all levels of care. It's clear that the staff here truly care about the residents’ happiness and quality of life. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.
Eric Stobezki Caregiver
The exceptional staff at Allegro cares greatly about their residents, and the residents are active and engaged. Allegro is an outstanding senior living community!
Caroline Johnson Caregiver
Rebecca and the management staff at Allegro work as a well-oiled machine, a family, and are all genuinely caring individuals. I am very pleased after making a move from a different ALF to Allegro.
Suzi Gluck Schiffrin Caregiver
Had a great meeting with Julie at Allegro yesterday to discuss how they can support our clients. Was very impressed with the facility, their process and, most importantly, the care that they show their residents and families. It was on display as I toured the facility, and saw how the staff, including Julie, interact with residents in a positive and caring matter. Won't hesitate to recommend Allegro to our clients and their families!
Steven Zakrocki Caregiver
Julie is an amazing resource. We did not know where to start and she has been a soft place to land, so thankful for her.
Lauri Butler Resident
My mom has been living here for 3 yrs. It is the first time she has lived on her own. The staff are wonderful and made her feel at home since day one. There is always something to do - a wide range of games, happy hour music and dancing, outings to parks, theatre and local restaurants, nightly movies and more. My mom has made many new friends and truly enjoys her home here at Allegro.
Joanne Chamberlain Family Member
I have been looking for a place for Mom here in St Augustine and visited Allegro. I walked in cold off the street and was provided an in depth tour with Julie Brendle. I could not have felt more welcome! She is awesome! The facility is truly lovely with everything my Mom will need or want for her future home. Everyone seemed so happy, from the employees to the residents. That speaks volumes! I'm moving Mom in next month and am feeling so good about our decision.
Sandi Breton Family Member
Allegro has it all: excellent leadership, beautiful grounds and interior spaces and wonderful food and dining rooms. The residents have created a caring and supportive community. Allegro is home! Residents can participate in their choice of activities. The Sky Lounge is a popular place with a full service bar. The daily Happy Hours have weekly live music, sing alongs, and 3 big screen televisions. There is much more to see and talk about. Come visit us. I know you will be impressed, I know I was. Two years ago I made Allegro my home!
Jean Fletcher Resident
My mother has lived at Allegro for 6+ years, and absolutely loves it. What's not to like? Allegro is in an ideal location in South Tampa. Mom has the following services: her bed made and turned down daily; 3 delicious meals delivered daily; weekly cleaning and laundry. She has no stress, which I think is why she's lived to 93! And there are plenty of activities-Mom and I particularly enjoy the wine tastings! And the holiday galas. Allegro may cost a bit more, but it is absolutely the best assisted living facility in Tampa. I wouldn't want Mom to live anywhere else.
Harry Glenn Family Member
I want to give a special shout out to BREE she is a waiter in the kitchen, who waits on the residents. I have witnessed first hand how incredible she truly is. Her attitude is always great, her customer service skills are awesome she takes her job seriously and most of all treats the residents with the up most respect.
Ashley Smith Caregiver
Very professional staff, I really enjoy working with them.
Biniam Mekonen Caregiver
(8/02/24) My mother is in the AL at Allegro, and loves it. The facility seems more like a hotel than a senior living facility. The staff is so caring, and the happiness and well being of the residents is clearly their first priority. Annette, who assists my mother quite often, is so wonderful! It’s the people that make the place special. (Edit 11/19/24 - Just had to add an edit to note, once again, how marvelous is the staff at Allegro! Particularly Annette, whom my mother relies on so much, and is just SO GOOD at what she does. If you are looking for an IL/AL facility that truly cares about their residents, I urge you to check out Allegro.)
David Simon Family Member
When I ask for anything for my wife, I don't have to ask twice. I feel so comfortable at home knowing my wife is safe at Allegro.
Stan Marcus Resident
I started attending an Alzheimer Support Group hosted by Allegro. The environment is always beautifully maintained, clean, fresh and inviting. The staff welcomes one with a smile and encouragement. I do not have someone living here, but when I am there residents are doing activities and are smiling. They also have Parkinsons Groups as well. Each occur monthly. They don't just offer the facility for meetings, they are there to listen and learn from caretakers. Rebecca also offers up beverages, fruit and deserts. It is a caring and compassionate feeling I get when I go. Should I need senior living care, I would give them look. I have been told they have not been sited with deficiencies in the past 3 years! Great job!
Shirley Ellis Caregiver
The folks at Allegro are awesome. Our mom is 102 yrs old and has lived with us for over 25 years. few months she developed a UTI. We had no idea what or how o take care of her. A friend recommended Allegro.. We meet with folks and immodestly moved Mom into Allegro. They take such good care of Mom....it is just wonderful to have found a place and community like what we have found at Allegro. Thanks to all the kind caring folks at Allegro!!!!
Midtown Locust Properties LLC Family Member
We are so so grateful for the wonderful care our mother is provided here. The staff is extraordinary. In a world where you just aren't sure what you can count on, it is a great relief to see how Allegro runs its business and cares for its residents.
Johanna Wu Family Member
Allegro is a wonderful place! My mom moved in here about a month ago and the care she is getting is fantastic! Lots of activities, delicious meals and a wonderful community.
Teresa Catlow Family Member
Very nice place to live and work at. Building never have a smell. Great customer service! So welcoming I absolutely love Allegro and would recommend it to anyone who is in need.
Darisha Barnes Caregiver
First 2 weeks in an so far, so good. There are kinks and schedules to work out, but Laura K. Laurie, Kim are always ready to help out. Special shout out to Adrienne, Kae and the dining staff for great service and kindness to my parents.
Robin Thomas Family Member
Hi everybody, I have been in Allegro since March 2023 not quite a year yet but I am very happy here. In fact today we had a birthday celebration of everybody that had a January or February birthday, which included me and it was awesome. The service was great. The food was wonderful. Everybody did something to make us all have a wonderful day. I really appreciate those extra efforts that they make here at Allegro and it’s not just one employee. It’s all of them.
Phyllis Marks Resident
My grandmother lived at Allegro for 15 years, and this place had such a positive impact on her life. The activity programming facilitated so many ways for her to get to know other residents and lead a great social life for not only herself but for the entire resident community. The staff has always been so supportive of my family , and I have countless memories of holiday brunches and parties enjoyed there. As a young child, going to Allegro was always something I really looked forward to not just because I loved spending time with my grandmother and her friends, but because I loved the events and activities and getting to know the friendly staff. Thank you Allegro for all you do for families!
Elspeth Suber Family Member
I wanted to share some thing about this community and I absolutely love it. I spoke to all the residents here and they love the food, the atmosphere and everything about this absolutely breathtaking & lovely community. Laurie Jordan does such a phenomenal job running this community. If you’re looking for a senior living community, this is the place that I would pick. Tallahassee charm. Don’t miss out on this amazing experience at the Allegro.
Korey Hall Caregiver
I have been living in allegro for 3 years and its a great place to live, I would recommend to any one that's looking for a great place for entertainment and good friends.
Yvonne Manking Resident
Took my mom for a tour of this facility. Kathleen was wonderful and answered all our questions and showed us several rooms that were available. This is a beautiful all-inclusive resort facility with spa, salon, gym, sauna, steam room and transportation. We met the Michael who invited us to see his meditation class in the movie theater room! It was wonderful! Weekly room and linen cleaning is included and mailboxes located near the lobby. Mom loves veggie pizzas, so we ordered one for lunch in their bistro cafe. Maria was a wonderful server and so kind. I tried to pay for the pizza, but the facility has a no cash zone to protect the seniors. This is a beautiful place for my mom! Can't wait to have her living here! Thank you Kathleen, Maria and Michael in showing my mom such a wonderful place!
M2Travels Agency Family Member
My experience at Allegro has been the best experience of my life I was very depressed at home after my husband died When I walked into Allegro my first day and met Isabella and Michael, I knew this was the place for me. I didn’t know how I’d leave a big home and live in a tiny apartment. But the tiny apartment turned into a loving home, especially because I was able to bring my 2 puppies. The staff is fantastic, the food is wonderful, and everyone is happy and cheerful, just like the name “Allegro” means in Italian. It’s also a musical term meaning fast and moving forward and I am a retired music teacher. This is my perfect home. The grounds are beautiful, the residents are friendly and inviting. I couldn’t be happier.
Kathleen Wassum Resident
We have been here for about 3 months now and the food is great and we're enjoying the location.
David Bowen Resident
My aunt has joined the Ensemble unit and she and we, her family, are so happy!! The staff is so caring and helpful. When we walk through the door, it feels like family! So grateful for Julie!!!
Lisa Horist Family Member
Our Aunt lived at Alto in both the Assisted Living and Memory Care units. Julie, activity director for Memory Care, is so great! Lots of interaction, activities and celebrations. My aunts dog was also welcome on the floor to visit and say hello to all residents. He loved to visit, meet new friends and still be a big part of her life. Mike, activity director for Assisted Living is wonderful also! Our family attended most of the family nights and they were so fun, Oktoberfest especially! Many thanks also to the women running the front desk, the nurses, Chef Dave and Elizabeth in the kitchen too!
Jennifer Hamm Family Member
I can’t express how amazing this facility is. I looked at ten places before finding this community for my mother. She started in assisted living but we knew eventually she would need memory care. The staff is outstanding. They treat my mom as family and is extremely caring. The food is great. The nursing staff is truly the best. They have activities all day and they will encourage all to be involved. My mom was shy and they helped her make friends. This facility is very personal. I was at ease knowing my mom is safe, being well cared for and having fun. Thank you!
Brenda Caregiver
If I could give 10 stars,I would!! The staff are fantastic! I have a relative at Alto. The facility is beautiful. The staff are ALL very engaging, and attentive, from the top on!! Shout out to Elizabeth, Alexis (Amazing!!), Diann, Gette, Sydney, Mike, Cynthia, Jacqueline, Jeffrey, Chris, And so so so many others!! Every single member has been super, and that includes Chef and cleaning staff toooo!! Thank you for everything, you’ve ALL made my brother’s transition very smooth. ❤️
Terri Stanley Family Member
I love Alto Overland Park! Beautiful surroundings and beautiful people. Activities Director has a real pulse on what the residents enjoy and has additionally fosyered a group bond that is very enjoyable to be around! I feel blessed to be involved.
Kathleen Hurcomb Resident
We have enjoyed and continue to look forward every month to the joy of performing for those wonderful residents at Alto Overland Park. We love to see (and hear) the residents sing along to our music. We so much appreciate the help and support we receive from the staff - it's like visiting family. Can't wait till our next monthly visit.
Don Hatfield Caregiver
Stellar team! Have had a few clients there and it's one of my favorite buildings to visit. Very clean, welcoming staff and a lively atmosphere.
Kathi Spray Caregiver
From the moment you enter the lobby you can feel the warmth of a home. Beautiful music plays and the fireplace beckons you to come and sit for a while. That’s just the beginning of how you’ll feel here, just wait until you meet the caring staff who are constantly collaborating on the events and adventures you’ll experience here!
Ann Chesnut Caregiver
We placed my Dad in Alto Stuart the beginning of April 2024 and we have been so please with the facility. The staff is so kind and caring. The are very attentive. If he does not go down for a meal someone comes up to check on him. They are constantly checking in on him and that gives us piece of mind. They go out of their way to make it like home. We are so happy we choose Alto.
Denise Hoffman Family Member
Our experience with Alto Stuart had been overall wonderful. Kaitlyn Oteri, the Executive Director and Elizabeth Olsen, Head of Nursing in particular have been so very supportive and attentive to our sister’s mental, physical, medical needs and working with us with complicated financial restrictions. They have gone above and beyond on working with our family to get the best and most tailored care for our sister. We feel there genuine caring and interest in making this the best experience for our sister. Also, kudos to Araceli at reception for her warm and welcoming first impression as we enter Alto Stuart. Finally, Lorraine’s steadfast social interaction planning keeps the community alive and engaged. Thank you for everyone at Alto Stuart for making this difficult transition in life hopeful and yes, even joyful.
Denise Rosensteel Resident
What a warm and welcoming community for Mom's & Dad's. Beautiful building and accommodations! Staff is so friendly.
Lisa Teetor Family Member
I was their visiting my dad whose in memory care and Im guessing the new worker is the new maintenance guy. He is truly amazing and very helpful. He’s already coming in making an impact on the residents. Keep up the good work.
Passion Nunnally Family Member
I come to play games here every week :) the residents are happy and the facilities are beautiful. The staff are simply the best!
Helen Elgie Caregiver
I truly don’t know where my sisters and I would be without the excellent care at Alto. Our mom has been there for seven years, and even through covid, Alto did a phenomenal job of caring for her! My sisters and I often marvel at how incredibly kind and caring the aids are. The nurses are fabulous, the activities directors are incredible and even the front desk and administrative staff is just wonderful! We are so grateful for Alto!
Andrea Kendrick Family Member
Things run fairly well when staffing levels correct.
Moscowitz Kee Caregiver
Alto-Osprey Tavares Florida provides a lovely place to live; but we know that no matter where a person resides, true happiness and satisfaction comes from the inside. We all have to find our own "happy spot"; but Alto management and staff do all they can by giving excellent care, planned activities, entertainment, and meals to each one. Thank you!
Dawn Gorsuch Resident
We are amazed in how much EVERYONE has done to help my mom during her adjustment period. Everyone has gone above and beyond in making it a smooth and reassuring transition. We couldn’t ask for more. From the best of meals, to the best of activities, to the best of the staff engaging with the residents it has been incredible!!! When I say the staff engages with the residents it literally means everyone. They really care for and about the residents. It’s so heartwarming to see so many residents happy and smiling and enjoying themselves.
Robin Cantwell Family Member
I am so much more at ease knowing she is there!!! My mother was living in a different ALF, wish I could say which one so others would avoid the horrible experience! AI finally decided to move her to Alto, thank God I did!!! She is happier than I have seen her in a long time. The staff checks on her throughout the day and night , everything she needs is there from doctors to hairdressers. The daily schedule could be compared to that of a cruise ship! If you have to make the decision for a parent or a loved one, choose Alto you will not be disappointed!
TJ Briante Family Member
Not enough words to express the peace of mind our family had while our mother resided at The Osprey Lodge (Alto) for over 3 years. Outstanding caring staff, cleanliness, food service, activities, etc.. Thank you All!
Linda Caron Family Member
We love working with the team at the Alto! Mahi and Casandra are two of the best people in the business and I would trust them with the care of my loved ones any day. They have a beautiful community, happy staff members, and very fun activities.
Jessica Rasmussen Caregiver
I had another visit to see Diane and we had a great time. The staff were very accommodating and helpful without being intrusive. Wish I was there full time.
James Jingozian Caregiver
By far the best staff and residence around. Was in simsbury previously and was unhappy. Moved closer to family and moved to Harbour Chase now Alto at evergreen walk. My father has since passed and I miss the people and staff of Alto Evergreen Walk.
Amy Hankard Family Member
Great workers, Great hospitality, fun activities for residents.
Valentina Stanton Resident
This is a wonderful facility with staff who truly care about their residents! The activities available to residents are great for mental, physical, and social stimulation, as well as the services that are provided. Plus, I’ve never had a bad bite to eat anytime I have visited! Would highly recommend to others looking for a place for a loved one.
Abigail Sites Family Member
My dad moved into Alto Johns Creek over the summer. As a geriatric care manager and PT, I knew it was the right move for him, but as a daughter it was still a very stressful decision. The caring staff at Alto made the transition for all of us a breeze. I never doubted that he would be safe and well cared for. He has continued to thrive and is enjoying his best life at Alto.
Gina Epifano Family Member
Alto Johns Creek is a beautifully designed community with warm and welcoming staff!
Amber Ashford Caregiver
We have been with this facility since it opened and my mom has flourished in the memory care. The facility is beautiful and even though there has been change in management I am optimistic that my mom will continue to receive quality care
Leslie Canipe Family Member
Brand new and absolutely beautiful community. All the staff are wonderful.... Would highly recommend for anyone looking for assisted living or memory care for their loved one.
Jack Burt Caregiver
We moved my mom into her Senior Living apartment which was so well laid out and had a beautiful view. The sales process was very easy and mom loved living there. She made new friends and truly enjoyed chatting with the staff. The staff is phenomenal, so accommodating and go above and beyond their job titles to ensure that mom was happy. They treated me very well every time I visited and never hesitated to ensure I was well cared for as well. It definitely felt like mom was living in a 5 star luxury vacation destination. If you are looking for an exceptional Senior Living Community, look no further. Allegro has everything you need and more.
Amy Campbell Family Member
We moved to Allegro Fort Lauderdale 5 months ago and we are delighted. This is a very upscale community in a great location. The number of activities is awesome. The meals provided are excellent especially the soups that are better than in a cruise ship. We have a 2 bedroom 2 baths apartment which is very comfortable.
Sam Aron and Gary Hardin Resident
