I honestly can’t say enough about Artesia and Brittney. They have been such a gift to my aunt and to our family. Every single day they treat her with kindness, patience, compassion, and genuine care. You can tell this is not “just a job” to them.
They don’t just help take care of her, they lift her spirits. They make her smile, laugh, and feel seen and valued every day, and that means more than I can put into words. When you have loved ones depending on others for care, people like Artesia and Brittney are priceless.
In a world where truly caring people can be hard to find, these two go above and beyond constantly. They deserve to be recognized for the incredible work they do because they make a real difference in people’s lives every single day.
We are beyond grateful for them.

Grand Living at Lake Mary has been a true blessing for our family. My mom was very anxious about moving into a community, especially with her memory challenges but the team here, especially Kayla, our concierge, made the transition so much easier. Kayla is incredible: warm, patient, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. She handles every interaction with professionalism and warmth, and ensures that even the smallest details are taken care of like making sure my mom had a buddy when she first moved in or friends at meals.
The staff overall demonstrate the same level of care and dedication. They know residents by name, are responsive to needs, and create an environment where people feel truly valued and supported. Dining has been a highlight as well, with meals that are well-prepared, nicely presented, and enjoyed in a restaurant quality setting.
The community itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, and continually being updated but what truly stands out is the vibrancy of daily life. There is an impressive variety of activities—fitness, music, a library, social events, crafts, outings, a movie theater and so much more—giving my mom countless opportunities to stay engaged and connected. My mom has found things she genuinely enjoys, which has been wonderful to see. She plays cards, takes aquafit classes in the pool, loves walking around the community, attends happy hour live music events, bingo and more. Mom feels like she’s living on a cruise ship. Great food, good friends and tons to do.
I’m deeply grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and heartfelt community at Grand Living. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to any family looking for a warm, supportive, and enriching Independent Living community.
