Veranda of Pensacola was very nice. The manager was extremely cordial. She made a point of ensuring that we had a really nice tour, despite my mom's mobility issues. She took the time to have me go into the office, explain everything, and ask my mom questions. They had a koi pond and a pool. It was just that the price was out of our price range.

I toured Veranda of Pensacola and it's very nice. It's much newer than any of the others. I watched it being built. The layout is Southern, and their food is excellent. The staff is very nice and mostly young. They have a movie theater, a swimming pool, a weight room, and very large grounds with sidewalks and little cupolas where you can get in and out of the sun. I've had several meals there. They have a chef and he's excellent.

I went to Veranda of Pensacola. They have independent and assisted living. They're very nice, very helpful, and very sweet. They have one, and two-bedroom apartments. Some of them have a small patio that's screened in. It's very clean. It had a very welcoming atmosphere when you first walked in. They have social hours. They have a very nice looking dining room, and they serve three meals a day. The chef has been there since 2009, so they have a stable staff. Sandy, the manager, has experience in geriatric care, and she is a nurse. The first two levels are independent and the third level is assisted living. They have physical therapy rehab there, a beautiful indoor pool, a very small putting green, a gazebo, a little walking path with koi ponds, a craft room, chair yoga, a small library, and a movie theater, and that's where they do the church as well as hold meetings. They have a beauty parlor there. Everybody seemed very warm, friendly, and inviting. There were some ladies playing cards, and they invited us to sit down and play. The apartments were about a little over 600 square feet. They're one-bedroom, one-bath, with a full kitchen and a living room. The only thing they did not have is a washer and dryer in the actual apartment. They had a washer dryer at the end of each hallway. I like that you could move up to assisted living from the independent living. It's just one floor up. The manager was very supportive. She sent my mother a whole bunch of information and pictures. She's very welcoming. The grounds were very pretty.

Very nice facility and great staff! However, during the middle of a Pandemic my father had a stroke and while he was in the hospital and I was told that I had to move my parents out of the Veranda due to a decline in my mother's mental state. During the Pandemic they were confined to their 1000 sq foot room with no stimulation or exercise for 2 months...not a surprise as anyone would have declined. Also, I found out after she moved to my house that my mom had phenomena while she was at the Veranda that was not diagnosed...no wonder she wasn't herself. What was so insensitive was that at one point I was told by Kim that they had to move out the next day because someone already had their room (a room that that we paid for the rest of that month). Unbelievable that they would do that to residents they PRETEND to care about. So during my father's time in the hospital; I had to move my parents things out of the Veranda into a pod, move my mother into my house for almost a month while my father was recovering in the hospital, find an agency to watch my mother while I visited my father in the hospital, find a new facility with memory care (not able to tour any due to Covid-19 made it impossible) and move them back into a new place after he was released. This whole experience was a total nightmare that shows total insensitivity to their residents and family especially during a pandemic...management only cares about the bottom line!

Veranda of Pensacola was very nice but it was just a little too far out of the way. The rooms are smaller. They have a swimming pool and an exercise room. The staff was very nice.

It was excellent. If ever my husband and I get to that point, we're going to go to the Veranda of Pensacola. It was top of the line in this area, and it's absolutely beautiful. It had an indoor pool and a putting green out in the back. I also liked the lady that walked me around. Everything was just topnotch.

The Veranda is a beautiful place, but it's very expensive for me. It's the most beautiful place in Pensacola to stay. It's the best place. You just need to pay your monthly fees and it includes meals. They have one or two bedroom apartments with full bathroom and kitchen. The whole is gorgeous and huge.
