I moved into Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay. My late girlfriend's daughter lives here and she found out about it, and then we moved down here together. My girlfriend passed about two months ago now, so I'm here by myself, but I've made a lot of friends. It's a nice place. The staff is fantastic. I'm in the dining room at the moment and its great food. You can order anything off the menu. The people that take care of my medications and stuff are very prompt and very helpful. The facility is immaculate. I just moved to a one-bedroom, but we used to have a two-bedroom. It's got a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. They have pets. I have a cat, and they let me have my pet here. A few people have dogs. Yesterday, they had a little bit of a Veterans Day. They have a lounge bar type area and they do birthday parties and stuff in there. They do bus trips. Sometimes, they'll just go out to Wal-Mart shopping. Sometimes, they just go for a drive or they might go to a restaurant outside. Just about once a week, they have bus trips. They have bingo and all kinds of games. They have a prayer group, and they have Sunday services and Catholic services on Monday morning. They have full-time medical staff here 24 hours a day. It's very reasonably priced. I'm very happy. I get my money's worth. They do housekeeping, laundry, and everything. They have a month-to-month agreement or you can sign a long-term if you want, which I've done. They've got a nice outside patio area and front porch where you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. They have something every single day. You can play cards if you want to. They have Wii bowling and a therapy pool. This place is fantastic.

Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay is wonderful and very nice. Everything was great, but it's a lot of money. People were very nice, and the lunch was very good. The place was clean, and I'd love to live there, but it's just too costly. I loved the amenities. Anyone who visits there would sure want to stay there. The grounds are kept up nicely, and the place was spotless. They have a pool and other things to go to. They have different things at different times. It seems that it's very well-situated and very nice. I have no complaints.

My mother is at Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay. It's excellent and clean. She is now very happy there. I don't have any complaints with the staff. The food is very good, too. I think it is a good community. The residents seem very happy.

Discovery Village At Sarasota Bay was a brand-new place. The rooms were excellent. The dining room staff was very nice. The food was excellent. They had a poker room, a game room, a lounge, and a bar. The place was top notch.

We’ve decided on Discovery Village for my mom. She has a medium sized apartment -- perfect for what she needs -- and it’s very clean. The staff is wonderful, and they take very good care of her. The food is awesome, and they have a very good chef; he takes people to the market with him and does cooking classes. They have art classes, health classes, and games. They’ve got a nice library which we donated a bunch of books to. The memory care is a whole community, and they integrate them in with the rest of the community.

What I liked best about Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay was the size of the room. It's 700 square feet, and it was very nice. It's assisted-living, and they included everything in the cost. All charges are included if you need a bath, if you need help with medicines, or if you need to go see your doctor. They're the only ones that do that. They have a swimming pool, card rooms, and a movie theater. They got it all.

Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay is currently finishing building the facility. They offer three different lifestyles for the same price. If a senior’s condition deteriorates, they have the caring facility and don’t charge any difference in price to move there. You don’t have to buy into a room. Amanda was extremely helpful; if she had not helped with explaining the program and the other assistance that’s available, we probably wouldn’t have come to a decision. She was a big part of the decision. It was an entry-level cost, and the price isn’t going to be raised for three years. It has all the amenities. I think they will have to travel a longer distance to the doctors compared to other facilities, but other than that, all else is within driving distance. Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay’s cost and amenities are incomparable. As soon as they open their doors, I will be moving my parents there. They are ecstatic.
