I toured Discovery Village Vero Beach. I like their porches the most. But I saw one sliding glass door that was quite old and not in very good shape. The staff who gave me the tour was very helpful. I like the layout. They showed me a one-bedroom with a den and a two-bedroom. They have quite a few activities. They have movies and outings. They have a beauty parlor. The chapel is to be renovated, but they have one. They also have an art room and a swimming pool.

I'm moving into Discovery Village Vero Beach next week. The only person that I dealt with was the one who showed me around. All the people there seemed to like the place. It was all-inclusive. I didn't have to pay for anything. I'd get 3 meals a day. I'm getting a one bedroom with a bath and a half and a small kitchen. The dining room had several round tables that looked very clean. They had a wait staff, and the menu looked great. They had a lot of activities. They had exercise programs, a weight room, movies a couple of times a week, a whole crafts section, bingo a couple of times a week, and card games. They had a big pool, a big exercise room, and physical therapists that came in. They had a hairdresser that came twice a week, which you pay for. They had more than I wanted to do. The grounds were beautiful, and everything looked well taken care of.

We like Discovery Village Vero Beach, but we didn't care for the food. The rooms were very nice. They updated a lot of it. They had a lot of activities. It was one that we were considering at one time, but my husband doesn't want to move. The staff during the tour seemed very nice. They had crafts rooms, swimming activities, and exercise. She gave us the menu of the week when we were there and I didn't care for it. It's a very nice facility though.

I will be moving in. I just liked everything about it. It was nice and clean. The rooms were good sized. The price was right. Even though it's in the process of being sold, I liked the people that I met. The food was good. It just seemed like everything that I wanted was right there in that one place. It's in the process of having some things finished like the movie theater is being redone and the exercise room, but the parts that I saw that were done were excellent. The staff was very nice. I met the activities lady, I met the lady that's in charge of getting people in, and the chef came out and met us. Everybody we met was just very nice. They met my expectations. They showed me what I needed to see and they were very personable and introduced me to people. I don't have anything negative to say. It was very friendly. I felt a little bit on display like when you're the new kid on the block and everybody's sort of checking you out. They had an arts and crafts room, a game room, a chapel, a room for computer stuff, a nice big swimming pool with a lift to put you down into the water if you can't walk, and a beauty shop.

We looked here for my mother. The apartments were pretty big and roomy. It was big space, and they're just remodeling, so the common area is looking really updated. They're changing the feel of the place, so it looks less like a home, and more like you're walking into an office building or a hotel where it has reception separately. You walk into a reception desk rather than behind the glass of a medical facility. They changed the feel of it. Independent living and assisted living are both in the same place. They are both in building one. The independent living is just physically separate, but the dependent living is in the same building; it is just on the other side.
They bring medical facility into the community, like they bring the podiatrist in there, so you don't have to leave to go do regular appointments. That's a big plus. They have really good service on that end. They bring the service to them, and they're just a spitting distance away from the shopping area.

My tour was fantastic. I want to live in there myself. The gentleman and the lady who took us on the tour were great and very informative. The apartments were beautiful even though they were doing a lot of remodeling. It just seemed so homey. Everybody seemed to be fairly relaxed, at peace, and happy. The place looked nice, and it seemed to be very easy to find your way around. The staff was excellent.

Moved in 2-3 years ago. Had excellent food and lots of activities with a bus that took us to great restaurants and places (ex: zoo). We were just starting to redecorate the entire building when Covid hit everywhere. Hence, we are in limbo --- we eat in our rooms --- dislike that, but no choice. They have done a great job since Covid. I look forward to getting back to normal here.

Since our quarantine began here in March 2020 and the incidence of positive Covid-19 cases has been only about 3 or 4, I have felt safe here. Meals have been delivered 3 times every single day and all were acceptable. Isolation is getting wearisome, but I'm doing OK after my eye surgery.

I moved in. I'm in a unit on the first floor with a porch and that's for the convenience of the dog. I like the place. The staff is very helpful. We have movies, arts and crafts, and sometimes music. The food is fine.

I'm a resident for two-and-a-half years now. It is a very friendly and warm community. I play bingo and bridge. My room is beautiful. I have a 2-bedroom because I had a partner until October and then he passed away. We have a once-a-week housekeeping and it is fine.

It is nice. The people are nice, too. I don't participate in many activities, but I like the sitting exercise. They have one at 11 a.m. for about half an hour or so. I understand that there are many people that they have to prepare food for, so you can't expect a home-cooking meal in the community living. I could see that people are complaining but people complain about anything anywhere. Nevertheless, they clean each room at least once a week and they do a good job.

It is fine. The rooms are nice. They're not really big, but there is a bedroom and a living room. For different people to come in and stay two or three nights, they have that arranged, so you don't have any problems. Cleanliness is pretty nice; we are pleased with it. There is a bathroom and a small kitchen in the room, too. We think it is pretty good. The staff members do a very good job. I found them pleasant and nice. We haven't been here that long to get involved in activities too much, but so far, it has been pretty good. We are pleased and we like it here. The place is nice, and the people are very nice. It works really nice. Food is pretty good, too. We like it. We are pleased with what we have here.

The location was great. The grounds were beautiful and there were lots of lakes. It was very spread out and big though. I was a little disappointed in the cleanliness of the hallways. The common areas needed to be vacuumed. There were stains on the furniture in the lobby. They had assisted living in the same building down at the other wing. The rooms in the independent living are apartment type and spacious, but they didn't have anything on the first floor at the time. My mom had to go downstairs in the elevator every time she walks her dog, and everywhere you went was a long walk. They had a craft room, convenience store, cards and different games, and a pool. The residents seemed very friendly and happy.

I really liked it but it was so spread out that you had to walk too far to get to anything. The person who toured us around was very nice. The food was very good and the dining area was very large, like a restaurant. The wait service was very good, friendly, and nice.

My experience here was excellent. I was very pleased. It was clean and comfortable, and the people were friendly. They had a pool, a salon, nurses on-site, a barber shop, a drugstore, a craft room, a card room, and a chapel for church services. The dining area looked like a large, fine-dining restaurant. It looked like it could easily accommodate a couple of hundred people. There were tablecloths, cloth napkins, sparkling glassware, flowers on each table, and huge glass chandeliers. It was quite elegant. People could choose different foods if they did not want the featured menu.

This facility has lots of things for resident's to occupy their time and seems a little more relaxed (but not lax in caretaking) than some places we visited. The staff is friendly and up-beat and the residents seemed more lively, more interested in what was going on around them. The dining arrangements were top flight and the menu seemed more than adequate. The little chapel and Bible study group is something that my Mother-in Law wants to have available to her and she can bring her small dog!

We did the here and the only problem with that was my mother-in-law doesn't get around too well, and she would have to walk almost a hundred yards to get to her apartment. It was on the second floor, or if she took the elevator, it was too far for her to walk, but everything else seemed to be pretty good. It's a really nice place if you're in good shape. The apartments are nice. It has a recreational room, a swimming pool, a lot of facilities. They do bingo and a lot of things for seniors.
