    Resident praises caring attentive staff

    I've been at Parkside for 12 years; the owner is friendly and engaged and the staff-especially Kathy Pitts-are consistently attentive and accommodating. I enjoy the lunches and appreciate the caring administrator and compassionate caregivers who always cater to my needs; overall a great place with excellent staff.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression: Reviews describe a facility with consistently praised frontline caregiving and mixed operational experiences. Many comments emphasize caring, compassionate staff who provide attentive, individualized support; specific staff and leadership figures were named positively, and long-term resident associations suggest continuity for some families. At the same time, several operational and policy concerns—principally around infection-control decisions, visitation restrictions, and recent ownership change—temper the overall view.

    Care and staff: Care quality is a clear strength in the feedback. Staff are repeatedly characterized as compassionate, attentive, and willing to accommodate resident and family needs; families cited personalized attention and administrators who will "cater to needs." A named staff member was highlighted for being particularly accommodating, and multiple comments referenced dependable, compassionate caregivers. These observations indicate strong day-to-day caregiving relationships and generally positive staff–resident interactions.

    Dining and activities: Dining was specifically mentioned in a positive way, with lunches enjoyed by residents and families. There is limited detail about the breadth of activities or facility amenities in the available comments, but the ability for residents to return to "normal life" after restrictions were lifted suggests that outings and external activities are part of the program when policies allow.

    Facilities and infection control: The facility implemented restrictive measures (including limits on visitors and bans on items such as flowers) during infection-control events; these policies were perceived as burdensome by families and were linked to emotional strain among residents. Reviewers also reported that, despite strict measures, viral transmission still occurred. Taken together, the comments imply an operational gap between restrictive infection-control policies and their effectiveness, and they point to a need for clearer, evidence-based protocols that balance infection prevention with resident psychosocial needs.

    Management and leadership: Feedback about leadership is mixed. Some reviewers described the owner as friendly and engaged, while others expressed concern about a recent ownership transition and perceived prioritization of financial considerations over resident-focused priorities. This divergence suggests that management changes have created uncertainty for some families; prospective families should ask about current leadership priorities, staffing stability, and any recent policy changes tied to ownership.

    Notable patterns and recommendations: The principal positive pattern is strong, compassionate direct care and a history of long-term resident relationships. The principal operational pattern of concern centers on restrictive visitation policies, inconsistent infection-control outcomes, and the emotional impact of lockdowns on residents—combined with recent leadership changes that some perceive as shifting priorities. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility's caregiving strengths against these operational issues, and consider asking administrators about current infection-control protocols, visitor policies (including any nonclinical bans), psychosocial supports used during restrictive periods, and how recent ownership changes have affected staffing and care priorities.

    About Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II

    Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II sits about 6.8 miles outside Starke, Florida, and has cared for seniors since 2018 as a small, family-owned, state-licensed assisted living facility set on a one-acre property. The home supports up to 24 residents in furnished studio rooms, all with ceiling fans and grab bars, and offers both long-term and short-term care plans, including respite stays for those recovering and folks who just need a short break. The staff can help with medication, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, using the bathroom, walking, and transferring from beds or chairs, and they're trained and available around the clock. A board-certified mental health registered nurse owns the facility, and there's a limited mental health license so residents can get help with some mental health needs if that's something they're looking for. English-speaking caregivers provide help with activities of daily living and manage medication while making sure residents get family-style meals every day, with allergy-friendly and diabetic options, plus snacks made by the kitchen staff in a dining room set up for comfort. Daily activities-both in the home and outside-let everyone stay active and social, from community-sponsored trips to resident-run clubs, arts and crafts, movie nights, and educational programs. There's even move-in coordination help. The community has a barber and salon, a library, a garden, a community room, cable TV in the common areas, and roomy bedrooms. Bathrooms come with safety grab bars. Laundry and housekeeping are handled by staff, so things stay clean and comfortable. They even provide rides and escorts to medical appointments, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies. They're open Monday to Friday, from 9 to 5, and close on weekends. Trained caregivers aim to make everyone feel at home and respected, with care that fits each person's needs, but anyone wanting to use Medicare for nursing care won't be able to since the facility isn't certified for it, which is something to keep in mind. Designed for people who value their independence but could use a bit of help, Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II offers a stable place for seniors and their families to consider.
