I think it’s wonderful here. We’re very pleased, good help, kind people, great food. The chef is great. We have an awesome apartment with a pretty view. We love the rooster haha and we hope the rooster stays. Haven’t had a chance to get to activities due to personal reasons but everyone says it’s great. I would love to try the arts and crafts.

Our family is extremely happy with our experience with A Place For Mom as well as with Merrill Gardens. Everyone with whom we've been in touch has been helpful, kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend A Place For Mom/Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for a seamless experience. The service helps you and your loved one to feel looked-after as you go through what is often an emotionally-charged process.

My mother was placed here over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. The staff is always supportive and helpful and it has been a while since I've seen my mom so comfortable. Glad we made the move!

My aunt is thriving at riverside. She was not keen on the idea, She got resident of the month, She is made one good friend and few others, And two weeks ago, she started teaching bridge since nobody there seemed to play. I would give it a five out of five rating.

GrandVilla is a couple of hours from my house. Selected the place because of the diversity of the residents and the Spanish speaking also among the staff. It was a great decision, always clean, attentive staff that will call if they have questions to help my mom, tons of activities and enjoyment for the residents. Definitely recommended!

It was the right choice for our mom. She is in a safe, clean and friendly community. She is well taken care of and has the social stimulation she needs. We no longer need to worry. We know she is in good hands.

I love it here, the staff is amazing and friendly. Everyone here really does a good job and it shows each and every day. I've made tons of friends since moving here and life couldn't be any better, praise jesus and amen.

I have lived at Grand Villa Deland for years now. I've seen major improvements in the staff, employees and activities. I am very proud to live here and I enjoy seeing all the new tours come in to have a look around. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Grand Villa Deland is true to their slogan, "Looks like home. Feels like family."

I have been living on my own for a long time and I was honestly scared that I would be stuck in an old dirty nursing home. I am very happy to say that I am not, since I have been here everyone has been so nice. I am a huge Disney fan and there was a Mickey plush waiting for me in my room when I got here. The attention to detail really made me feel special.

I have lived at Grand Villa of Deland since October 2023. I can't express enough great things to say about my experience. I unfortunately had to leave once for a short time to go into rehab, but when I came back I had the most heartfelt welcome home. The staff and other residents treat me like their family and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

Absolutely AMAZING community! A lot of reviews include the nursing team which are fantastic but I’d like to address the amazing housekeeping team, my mother adores these woman they take the time to talk with her, they remember small details and are always so friendly. I’m blessed that I know my mom has attention and the friendship she has received while at grand villa. The executive director [name removed] is very friendly you see him often engaging with the employees and residents he is very communicative and you can see he really cares. If your thinking about this as an option for your love one I encourage you to trust they have made my mom feel like family, we are always greeted when we visit they will accommodate as much as they can for your love one.

Just moved my mother in from NY and I must say I have never seen her smile so much. The facility is very clean and the staff are wonderful very caring and oh so helpful. I visit 2-3 times a week and have never had any issues. It’s been only a couple of months and I have seen a total transformation in her agitation and behaviors. Thank you Grand View !!!!!

I showed up unannounced today, she was comfortable in the dining room waiting on lunch. I noticed her hearing aids where not in here ears. I asked the nurse, she and l looked high and low , she called in the cavalry, thanks everyone for assisting, yes they we're not lost. The night nurse put them away as instructed and they where in her hearing aid box. I'm very grateful for everyone taking care of mom.

Outstanding caretakers! Most people are kind and patient even when the patients aren’t easy to deal with. My uncle is in memory care and has some issues and I in all my visits haven’t seen anyone be mean to him or any patience. I can now relax and know my Uncle is in a safe nurturing environment. Doctors and nurses quickly let me know when he had a fall and kept me updated. They also listen to me and let me work with them on his medications and care. Very happy I place him there when it became too much for me to care for him!

Amazing staff, well run, terrific food, transformative system encouraging independence. Plans for further renovation. Beautiful location and serene views. Everything you want, nothing you don’t. Well done!!

My father is here and I can say this is the best place to put your loved at . They got awesome library area , craft area , a area for playing cards , a great hall that they eat there 3 meals a day at . They have people come in and put on some type show rather its a zoo visitors with animals, to musicians, to comedy place really cares about the people there . Staff is always nice and helpful . If I had anything to say they need to work on is rugs need to be tape down they keep saying they will fix them and they haven't been fix yet people can very hurt and fall which has happen a few times but other then that the place is great

I moved my mother here from New York. Since she’s been here, she has done a total turnaround much more happier. She is now taking her meds, which was a big issue at the last place in New York. I recommend Grandvilla.

the staff was helpful, the facility was beautiful and that I would highly recommend them. The quality of life offered and the friendliness of the staff stood out at this facility.

I Just moved in a week or so ago. Staff is very caring, especially the nurses. Everyone has helped me adjust well to my new home. It has been a great experience so far. It's comforting to know I have help available if I should need it.

From the moment we first pulled up to the Grand Villa, it felt impressive. The decor is lovely, the lobby is clean and beautiful, and the staff is friendly and helpful. My father and I toured the facility, saw the apartments, game rooms, dining hall, etc… and met several residents and staff a like. All the residents commented on how much they liked living there. Which says a lot. Both the Director [name removed], and the sales rep [name removed], were very nice. They went over all the information with us, and gave us a clear understanding of what to expect from Grand Villa for my Dad. He was very impressed!
