Discovery Village Vero Beach was very good and very clean. The staff was very kind, but it was too expensive. The facility was very nice, although it needs some updating, like the elevators, overall, it was clean and that's the most important. It was quiet also. The elevators were kind of old. The lady said that they were going to update it in the near future. The units have different prices. The one with the den was very pricy. The one without the den was still pricy. The facility was nice and everything, but it's not luxurious to have that kind of price of $3500 a month. It's just too much.
They have many levels for the people. My father was categorized as level one because he can bathe himself and he can use the walker. Even though he's in the first stages of dementia, he still can understand and reason somewhat, although he needs to be reminded to take his meds. They are a $500 increment if the patient gets to the second level of care. They go up to levels three and four, to the point that they cannot be there anymore, and they have to be transferred to a home.
They have activities, they take them shopping, they have a big dining room, and they celebrate birthdays and holidays like Christmas. They said they have an excellent chef, even though I did not try the lunch. The staff was very nice, very informative, and answered our questions.

Discovery Village Vero Beach was a beautiful place. It just went through over a million-dollar renovation. It's all very nicely, brightly painted. They have beautiful pictures on the wall. It has a lot of windows. There's a lot of light in every apartment. For assisted living, you have your own apartment and then they have levels of extra care. It wasn't that expensive because it was only $3020 a month and then for extra care, you start at $500 a month, but what's included is a lot. They include housekeeping, doing your laundry, checking up on you, and you have a necklace that you wear with a button on it. Anytime you need help, you just push the button, and they come right up and help. Their dining room was gorgeous. Their menu was like a five-star restaurant. They had Chicken Marsala and lemon pepper sauce. They had very good things on their menu.
The staff was very pleasant, very informative, and very patient with all your questions. We were there for over an hour and she was very helpful with other things that we needed to look into. Even if we didn't pick that place, she was helpful with other ideas for us. We were told to come back today for a free lunch and an assessment, but we didn't want to do that assessment being that we weren't sure if that's where we were going to place him. Everything is brand new. They have a brand new pool, they play bingo, they have music on, and they have a piano. There were lots of activities. They have transportation to stores and medical appointments. She said on Fridays, a group of people goes out to lunch at different restaurants in town.

I really liked here in particular; but to me, it seemed like there was a lot of walking. The apartments were very nice. Majority of the facility had just been remodeled, but the rooms themselves haven't been fixed up yet. Most of the staff seemed extremely cheerful. A lot of the residents stopped the woman who was giving the sales presentation, and they greeted and/or hugged her. It had a very energetic vibe. The people that were hanging in the lobby weren't just like sleeping in a chair or something. They were playing card games. They were sitting around chatting. Everybody was alert, and I liked that about it.
I liked the individual balconies or patios. It's nice that you have a little bit of outside. They gave me tickets for free meals when I came back with my mom and my sister. They made my top 4 cut. It seemed as if most of the residents were running around, very cheerful, and very willing to stop and say hello. Everyone was masked, which I personally appreciated having PD and COPD. If they cleaned up the mysterious stain on the floor, I would be happier. I am very impressed with the little countertop outside of everyone's apartment door that they can decorate or people can leave things for them. It seemed like a very active friendly community.

I went through a tour. They had a big open house that day, which was kind of interesting; and they had all kinds of other visitors there. They were in a promotion mode with all these other visitors. The present residents also were involved. I was impressed with the facility and the renovations they had done on the property were significant. They were still doing more that hadn't been completed, but it was positive. I enjoyed it, and I learned a lot.
I met with a lady, Meredith, she was very helpful. I was impressed with the facility and the people. They had just completed a lot of renovations to the various residence rooms and the facilities. There were parts of the facility they were still working on, but they had very definite plans and they showed me where it was right now, which you could physically see. They also showed what they're planning on doing. So, from a business perspective, they had it together.

I went a few weeks ago. It seems very nice, it's much smaller than what I have now. The layout is very nice, they've just redone it. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and they all have balconies, and they serve all three meals. They played cards, bingo, and the swimming pool was being redone. The lady I talked to was very nice.

I toured and pretty much, I was just shown the model. The way they do it is you go as far as the lobby. They have a model upstairs. You don't go very far. They were very nice. They were very spacious. The particular one the lady showed me was a two-bedroom sharing unit. They had where you can live by yourself or with a roommate. I only came in contact with two people, and they were very nice. They happened to be in a remodel. Some areas were closed off, but it seemed to be nice.

So far, it has been great. My aunt has moved into assisted living. Everything there is great. The staff and the services have been good, and the amenities are good too. We don't have anything to complain about. The food has been great. The facility's overall condition is great. She is not into activities because she is 95 years old.

It is very nice, and it's very easy to get there, but we couldn't go inside. However, we saw another apartment, it was open, and it was facing the yard. They're very nice and roomy, and she's going to share the room. There's two bedrooms, two baths, a nice kitchen, and a nice balcony. The only problem is it's a little too far from me. The room we saw was downstairs, but hers would be one floor up. The size was excellent for two people, the bedroom especially was nice and big, and the bathroom was very nice. I liked it very much. They have a pool, a library, and a hair salon. The staff was very nice, wonderful, and very pleasant.

My mother is a resident. It's an older and very large community, but it's very homey compared to other places and my mom felt very comfortable here. They have activities like going on day trips, card games, and movie nights a couple of nights a week. They also bring in music and entertainment, dominoes, and horseracing on Wednesdays using wood horses on sticks; everybody gets so into it. She gets three meals a day, her laundry done, help with showering every other day, and help picking out her clothes every day. They are very good with helping her find her way around because it is a large community. They have independent living on one side and assisted living on the other, but they intermingle and the people from assisted living can go to eat at the independent living dining room if they want. They give the residents their main meal at lunch time, and it's always very good, but dinner is not as good as lunch.

It was very opulent and very expensive-looking. The staff was very nice. We went into one of the apartment rooms, and I looked at a cottage, which were all very nice. The place is very clean, and people looked pretty happy. It's really classy and pristine.

We are in the assisted living. It is a wonderful place. Everything about it is great. The food is great, and the people who work here are wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about it. I have a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.

The staff was extremely professional, and the facility itself was modern and clean, and it had all the amenities that anyone could ask for. The dining options were superb, and the kitchen units were modern, updated, and clean. When you walked in, everybody was sitting in the atrium, and they were visiting. There's a piano and soft music, so it was a really comfy and welcoming environment.

It was very nice. The atmosphere was pleasant, and people were nice. They have independent living as well as assisted living and pet-friendly. They were very obliging and very helpful. It was an older building, but it was well located within a very quiet and pretty residential area that was gated, so you drive through that gated area first before getting to the place itself, which made for a lot of security. It was very attractive and very quiet. It was made up of little, upper-middle-class townhomes. The apartments were of a good size with two bedrooms, which is what I was looking for in a place. Also nice: they have functioning kitchens.

I found the staff to be very friendly, and they explained everything perfectly. I just enjoyed the place; it's very pretty and very roomy. My husband has two bedrooms, full kitchen, two bathrooms, and a big living room. He said the food is good. They have two dining rooms; one is very big, and one is medium sized. They have poker tables, bingo, and a lot of activities, and they take them shopping and to doctor's appointments.

My mother is happy as can be expected. It seems to be very nice. They have transportation, and they do have nursing and physical therapy right there. They've got card games, movies, and TV. The food is pretty good, but she has a complaint about the cream soup. She thinks it is making her ill. The staff has been very helpful and cooperative.

I've actually moved in and I have a suite of rooms: a bedroom, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. The staff members are very, very fine people. They help you out every way. One guy even came up and hooked my TV up for me. The food is very, very good; it is well-prepared. Sometimes you think that maybe you are not getting a particular thing like I couldn't get any mayonnaise the other day, but that is a small thing, and the food is really good.

We really like it. The staff was excellent. They were very friendly. The location is convenient. It is right on the main street going into town, and not too far from the shopping centers. The rooms were first class. You can get one, two or three bedrooms. They have a living room, a sitting area, and a little dining nook. They have activities. Food was good. They have a big dining hall, and they serve three meals a day.

We had lunch here, and it was very good. We like this facility very much. It was a very nice place. The rooms seemed little to us, though.

It is a nice place for my dad to move. It's a big community, and when you go into a lobby it seems like you are in a fancy hotel. It has a beautiful lobby. They have a huge dining room, and they also have a smaller one that my father can go to if he chooses. Everything is always clean and that is very good. He has a small apartment with a porch area that is screened, and that is very nice. The staff has been very good to him. They are there whenever Dad needs help. They also offer several different activities each day.

The people that work here seemed very knowledgeable. The facility itself is not too modern nor too old. It's very nice. She is in a shared room where she has her own private bedroom and bath. They share common living space. I know they have exercise facility, they provide three meals a day. They also have a pool there and aerobic classes on the pool. They also have a bus that takes the residents to their doctor's appointments, church, grocery shopping if they want or to any place they need to go.
