Overall Review of Five Star Premier Residences of Plantation

caveat 28 reviews mention this

Dining quality feels inconsistent

Food quality and dining experience vary widely across residents.

Several reviews praise the food as really good, with residents liking the dining room and the option of meals delivered to apartments. Others describe dining as falling off after an initial period, citing changes in kitchen staffing and worse preparation and service. A few reviews also mention specific friction points like residents feeling left out at their tables, food not being appetizing, or meals not arriving as expected. Even when residents are generally happy, some still list the food as a recurring complaint.

  • A cozy living and dining space with comfortable seating and warm decor.
  • Floor plan of The Key Biscayne, featuring a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with a dining room, living room, and balconies.
  • The Sanibel one-bedroom, one-bath apartment floor plan.

Care support can be hit or miss

Care responsiveness and assistance levels described by residents and families differ by experience.

Some families describe strong day-to-day support, including coordinated appointments and feeling confident about safety and care. Others report serious gaps, including medication issues, minimal assistance during meals, problems with food delivery expectations, and the need to hire outside help for adequate care. A few reviews specifically connect care with mobility needs, including concerns when residents couldn’t move around like before. Overall, the reviews don’t paint a single consistent picture of care delivery.

Pricing runs below typical benchmarks

Pricing is described as more manageable than alternatives, even with occasional cost concerns.

Some reviewers say the price felt affordable compared with other communities they toured. At the same time, a few reviews call out high monthly costs and suggest the value wasn’t matching expectations, especially when dining or care issues came up. The listed pricing also sits below county and state reference points across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units.

common 10 reviews mention this

Activities are available, but participation varies

Residents can find scheduled activities, though some families want more encouragement and variety.

Multiple reviews describe a calendar of activities, including outings and social events, and say residents stay engaged. Other reviewers mention limited activities or that staff don’t consistently encourage residents to join in. One review also points to a desire for more help for residents who are shy when adjusting to the community. Taken together, the offerings appear to exist, but the lived experience seems to depend on how residents are supported to participate.

common 24 reviews mention this

Staff warmth shows up often

Many residents and families describe staff as welcoming, helpful, and responsive.

A common thread in the reviews is positive staff interaction, with families calling out staff who are caring, professional, and supportive. Several reviews mention front-office team members being compassionate and helpful, and families feeling their loved ones are being cared for. Even reviews that raise concerns about dining or care still often include at least some appreciation for specific staff members’ efforts. The staff experience appears to be a standout strength for many families.
