Lake Gibson Village

The grounds are impeccable, definitely thought I was in West Palm Beach at a high class resort. The Carpenters' Home was the retirement home for members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America from 1929 to 1976. The Union completed the purchase of the 1,684 acre site in April 1924. Costing $632,393, the site included 594 acres of citrus groves. The purchase of additional citrus groves brought the total land owned to almost 2,000 acres. The Carpenters' Home was dedicated on October 1, 1928, and officially opened March 14, 1929. The home could accommodate up to 400 residents and included a lounge, library, dining room, hospital, and auditorium. In addition to the residence building, there was a power house, garage, laundry, and water tower. Amenities for the residents

My dad moved to Lake Gibson Village the end of May. He absolutely loves it and from the front staff, the dining room, the nurses on up to the Supervisors and activity director have been such a big help. Anytime I have questions or help they have not hesitated to be there for me. I live in Georgia and have stayed with my dad when I come to visit and seen them first hand with everything they do. Thanks to the staff for being such a blessing in the lives of all the residents and my dad. I know he loves each and every one of them and always has a smile.

2 years ago it was super, however it has really gone down hill. Food is horrible fried and portioned sizes are very small! Plus the building is falling apart. Between the roof leaks, mold, flooding, and water in every apartment for over a month. In the past 2 years there has been 2 floods causing renovations, and residents having to move out of their apartments into hotels, etc. Pics below show food and today.

My mother in law lived in this gorgeous building with amazing staff and such kind residents for 3 years. June was a year she went home to be with the Lord. Our family was so happy to have her at Lake Gibson Village and will highly recommend this beautiful community to anyone looking. Thank you all for loving Melva and helping us to take care of her. She loved each one of you dearly❤️

As soon as I walked in the front doors,I was greeted with a friendly welcome from the lady@front desk. She helped me step by step to sign in as a visitor,&that made me feel so comfortable&relaxed. The place is also clean&beautiful! I visited my relative,&her room was clean&quiet,&she had a pretty view from her window! I like the rehab room,& the hair salon,&the entertainments in the auditorium. My relative's only complaint is how horrible the food is!! But she has a very nice size refrigerator & cabinets to keep the foods she prefers.🙂
