4.9 · 16 reviewsI am 87 years old. I want to stay active. My son brought me to Governor's Port. When I walked in I was greeted with, "you earned a time to be taken care of and that's what we're here for". I moved into a wonderful apartment with a beautiful kitchen & a deck at the end of it to sit outside and read, or just enjoy fresh air. The port has leaders to come in for exercise & Bible study & offers many activities such as shopping trips & lunches out with transportation provided by laketran. I love to cook but for those who don't meals are available. I am as active as I want to be and can live…

My father Jim Giddings has been at Govenor's Port for 6 plus years. He has a one bedroom unit with a living area and huge kitchen with a pass through and patio. The unit is very big and twice a month he has them come in and do his bedding and clean the apartment. By comparison to the senior living centers I feel it offers a lot more. Govenor's Port offers outings (also checks with the residents to see where they would like to go). It has a library, vidio room, dining area, game room. Once a month they do everyone's Birthday with a DJ and cake. The office staff and kitchen staff are very…

The unit is very big and twice a month he has them come in and do his bedding and clean the apartment. By comparison to the senior living centers I feel it offers a lot more. Govenor's Port offers outings (also checks with the residents to see where they would like to go). It has a library, vidio room, dining area, game room. Once a month they do everyone's Birthday with a DJ and cake. The office staff and kitchen staff are very friendly and willing to help. My father went from being hesitant living there to having lots of friends and he still gets out at 90 years old. I feel he is safe and very well take care of. Everyone is close and keeps an eye on one another. Their cost of living is very reasonable and has not gone up every year like lots of other places. Thank you Governor's Port for everything you do!! Sincerely, Terry Weber
My mother truly enjoyed her time living there. It’s a small community with a family atmosphere. The staff is truly dedicated to making the residents stay busy and engaged.

My mother chose the Governor's Port. We toured it on November 1st. I would say everything was more than above board and everything was fine. The room which is a one- bedroom, living room, kitchenette and big bathroom with a walk-in shower was very, very nice. And so was the dining room, it was very nice. The staff was wonderful. We went over some statistics, dollars, and things. They gave us a little brochure, and then we went on a tour of the facility, and everything was very good.
After my mother’s passing, it was hard for my father to find his place in the world. We knew we’d found the place the moment we walked into Governor’s Port. From their workout room to the organized activities, the artwork in the hallways, and the bright, airiness of the apartments. The kind, supportive staff sealed the deal. Dad was home.
Governors Port is a smaller facility with extraordinary level of caring. Many larger more expensive facilities have fancier trappings but the difference is staff performs from the heart vs for money. There is no charge for someone to check on a parent who may not hear a call, or can't figure out a remote but be it the maintenance staff or the food service people they take the time to lend a hand. It is the difference between personal and an institutional setting. Lake Tran offers transport to anywhere and staff is happy to help arrange. I can not extol the virtues of this facility enough- they are open , honest , economical and flexible.
The rooms are bright and cheerful with lots of storage. The open design made it easy to socialize with company and having a patio was so nice to watch the birds or just get fresh air. The staff however is what makes this place special- not just kind , upbeat and loving while remaining professional. There are no hidden cost so it is affordable and located with easy access to everything! This is by far the best place for seniors.
After a thorough examination of surrounding area residences for the elderly, my Mother chose to live at Governor’s Port. Without exception the staff was supportive, patient, caring, and professional. They went above and beyond to make her comfortable and included in activities. The food was good, the facilities well maintained and as bright and cheery as the staff.
