What this means for your family

Citrus Place is an excellent choice for families seeking high-quality dining and a compassionate memory care environment. While the staff and food are standout strengths, families should verify that the resident's ability to use modern technology (like smart TVs) is supported, and be mindful of the importance of clear communication with management during any transition or exit.

Memory care family member · 2026★★★★★

My mom didn’t realize she needed a safer place to live and didn’t want to move from her neighborhood of 60 years. I visited Citrus Place and knew this was the best place for her!

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The memory care center at the Citrus Place has provided my friend and coworker with a secure and safe site where he can enjoy daily activities which include being able to spend time outdoors.

Clean

This report details an investigation into a complaint alleging that facility staff did not seek timely medical care for a resident.

The facility was advised that the POA requested contact first for non-emergency incidents, which contributed to a delay in seeking immediate medical attention.
