Senior Management Advisors

I just put my mother in five days ago. It wasn’t something she wanted to do. She’s 97 but could no longer live alone. I work, and I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment. It was a rough start, but after making her room. cheery with white furniture with yellow accents, I think it’s feeling more like home. I brought her pictures from her home that reminds her of home and other things. I don’t feel as bad as I did last week. It is an adjustment, but the staff at Grand Villa are very welcoming and kind and understand how new resident feel. There is entertainment and activities and a beautiful pool for the residents. I highly recommend this assisted-living.. In fact, I just gave the brochure to someone that’s looking to place their parent. So hopefully this will work out for another family.

I love the fact that I can always find something to eat. The cooking is very good here. Only critique I have is I wish the onions were cut up more. My apartment is so cute and the perfect size. 95% of the employees here are wonderful. I have great respect for everyone that works here. I think [name removed] goes so far and beyond with activities. He does a fabulous job of understanding people and knowing how to work with people. Same with [name removed]. He has a great understanding of older people. Housekeeping is also a great team here.

My husband and I recently visited Grand Villa of Delray East for my mother in law. She unfortunately had a fall recently and this very difficult decision to put her in an assisted living facility has been daunting. Our first impression of the facility was very positive. Residents sitting out front getting fresh air and mingling. Upon entering, the large living room had more of the same with residents visiting with each other with a warm atmosphere. We were met by May, sales associate, and she was very nice, knowledgeable, helpful and gave us a tour of the facility including a room that was available. May also didn't give us a hard sell; which was refreshing. During the tour, the atmosphere was calming and orderly. The room sizes were very big, bright and clean. This is one of our top options. We especially like the staff, cleanliness, salon, location, transportation option for doctors appointments and religious services.

My parents would like to acknowledge, [name removed], kitchen/ dining server, as she encourages our mom and shares great conversations with both our dad. She and her fellow servers tend more tables than a regular restaurant, all with a smile and kind word! She makes it look easy! l would also like to bring [name removed], front desk/receptionist, into light as she is friendly and cheerful as well as personable and knowledgeable. She has great interactions with my parents regarding their requests for services. She always knows where everyone is, as when my dad asks to speak with [name removed] or [name removed]. Additionally, the Laundry staff are also wonderful; my dad is always greatful to them and their special care in folding and leaving clothes on their couch, which is a lot of pressure off my dad's shoulders. Thank you so much to [name removed], [name removed], and administration for hiring such trustworthy staff, who care so much for their Riverview Resort residents- our precious parents!

Assisting a loved one with dementia is never easy, even in it's early stages. Making the decision to help them move into assisted living is difficult to say the least - especially when you want to help them maintain their dignity and independence. Grand Villa of Clearwater made that decision easy for us and really the only choice. It is a beautiful property and the staff and residents are amazing. The Leasing Coordinator is a godsend and made the process smooth. From the Front Desk to the Nurse, the Chef, Maintenance staff and the residents, this is a community in the truest sense of the word. It has only been a week, but each time I call my friend, he is either with his new friends, outside in the gazebo visiting with a friendly squirrel, or listening to someone in the lobby play piano or violin. He is totally revitalized and truly enjoying life again. Take a tour, visit with the residents and staff. We did, and now we are family.

When I first visited Grand Villa Clearwater, I knew it was where our in-law’s next “home” should and would be. We very much appreciate the care, hospitality and understanding of [name removed] who helped us in so many ways in making our in-law’s transition as smooth as possible. The “welcome” the staff and current residents gave him is beyond words! All these make for a wonderful place to help our loved ones who need this specific type of care. Grand Villa is the perfect place. Thank you so much for providing a clean, caring and happy environment for our elders who need the best care, and respect giving them the dignity they deserve.

My mom became a resident of Grand Villa last week. She had lived with me for 14 years prior to that so this transition was not only difficult for her, it was difficult for me. But the staff and the administration at Grand Villa embraced my emotional situation. They have been loving to my 93-year-old mother, patient with my questions and phone calls, and vigilant with her care, attending to not only the needs I specified, but more. One day over the weekend I visited her for lunch. One of the certified nursing staff members came to say hello to her and to ask her if she needed anything. She also helped her choose her meal options. This is care above and beyond anything I could have imagined she would receive. This was a tough move for me to make on behalf of my sweet mom, but I sleep in peace knowing she is in the care of Grand Villa and they’re loving staff.

What can I say about Grand Villa? I've been here six weeks now, and I LOVE it. I am in a Villa, and it is amazing. The staff is so responsive to my requests. The other residents are fantastic. I can be as busy as I want to be with everything that is happening here, or I can just hang back at my place. I can have three cooked meals, or I can prepare my own in my full kitchen (who am I kidding? I don't cook all that much!). My dog and I are so happy here. Thanks Grand Villa for letting us join your community!

I am currently in a Flagler County Schools transition program called Project SEARCH. I am learning vocational skills. My experience at Grand Villa has been a true growth and learning opportunity. I didn't know how the washing machine works. Luckily my mentor has shown me how to do it, and she has been really kind. She has been more like a friend and a mentor because she has taught me a lot.

I have lived here for a little over a year and I love it. I have a beautiful studio apartment that accommodates everything that I need. The help that I need with housekeeping chores is provided. The food is good and the chef makes every holiday special. There are a variety of activities during the day and early evening. I have made some good friends. The staff is helpful and kind. I would recommend Grand Villa Delray East.

Grand Villa is a great place to live! I have to say that for a man who is 61, and I'm 20 years younger than the next person, its probably the most difficult part of it because just when you get to know a couple people and I've only been here a short time. It's hard because they pass away. A resident's wife from here, she's 96 he's 93, she fell down and got pneumonia. She's now in a rehab and they won't let her husband in until Monday, who has been together with her for 75 years, and he takes care of her like you cannot believe. So maybe I was a little bit young to come in here. All I can say is that everybody, from the Director on, has been very very nice pleasant outstanding hospitality, the whole 9 yards.

After a break~in period it has been very positive. Stable long term staffing!

My experience here has been good. I've moved around a couple of times but now I've found the perfect roommate. She is kind, courteous and very giving. I couldn't be happier living with such a perfect companion

We just moved my Mom in on 12/30. It was recommended by a place for Mom and we could not be happier. From my contact at a place for mom who was on it and very concerned for our needs to [name removed] our salesperson, [name removed] the nurse, the front desk staff and the entire housekeeping staff and maintenance staff they made our move flawless and so welcoming my mom and I both LOVE it. Thank you all

Truewood by Merrill, Port Charlotte, is a perfect location, close to shopping, American Legion , hospitals and a great area for daily walks. [name removed] is happy and we would recommend this community to other families.

The staff at Grandvilla does an excellent job. I have observed them being so kind, caring and considerate to the residents over the 3 years that my father has been here. I would recommend Grand Villa in Altamonte Springs to anyone needing these services for a loved one.

[name removed] went out of her way to help us in this very stressful time. We were provided with all we needed to know and we are looking forward to getting our mother moved in to begin this phase of her life. Thank you for your patience with us as we were dealing with this difficult time.

What I like the most is the cleanliness of the community. The staff is very friendly. I am an Ambassador at the community, the activities are wonderful and I greet New Residents and help them around the first week they move in.

At the beginning my experience with grand Villa was not the best, I met a few people and I loved the people. I love everyone here and I would say it was very welcoming. I feel very close to at least 10 people and I am very grateful that I met them.

Memory care is awesome. My dad has been there for 3 years and has had a great experience. I am very happy with the assistance he receives at Grand Villa. Every time I visit, the food smells amazing. The place is clean and welcoming.
