My husband is a resident of Discovery Village At Stuart. It's working out great. It's wonderful, I'm very happy there. The best thing for me is that everybody is super friendly and very caring. I ate there with my husband and the food was very good, I have no problems with the food. They have a menu to select from, so there were different things. They usually had the main meal at lunchtime, and then soup and a sandwich or something for dinner in the evening. They have Physical Therapy. They have a beauty shop and the person there does the hair and nails, she's very good. They have a fitness room, and they always have a lot of activities for the residents going on. They try to get out once a week someplace with the residents. They have a game room. The staff were always right there if I needed anything. If I ask too many questions, somebody was always there to answer my questions for me. The facility is very clean. They are competitive with everybody else in our area as far as the price goes. They were a little bit lower than the other place I looked at.

I liked it. They had pool classes and a dedicated activities director, which I thought was a good thing. They have a Shine Memory Care program that has something to do with your mind, body, and health, and I thought that was also good. It's a pretty new place, so their census was quite low. I asked what their ratio of staff to residents was and I sort of got a vague answer that it depended on what was needed. That didn't tell me very much. In other words, if the census was heavier, obviously they would have more help, but they couldn't give me a ratio. The person who toured us was OK but I felt she was a little brusque. The strongest things they have were their activities and the availability of the physical activity. The dining area was very nice too and much more open. There was much more feeling in the dining room than the outside. It was just much more pleasant. The rooms were certainly adequate and the view that we were shown was quite lovely. There were gardens and all that but that doesn't mean that any room you would be in would have that kind of a view. However, since you can see outdoor space, then it expands your own space.

The team is incredible! Joseph and Tracey listened and really cared. I was not sure I could do this for Eva. I was feeling guilty taking her out of her home of 36 yrs. After seeing the complex and her new apartment I was excited and knew I was doing the right thing. Thank you Joseph and Tracey for peice of mind!
