Volante Senior Living

The activities were what I wanted most at this community - especially the scenic drives they would take twice a week. However since Harborside at Melbourne has recently changed ownership they have cut down the activities and nothing has really happened yet for our loved one.

Everyone at Crescent Park Senior Living is very friendly, and in a short period of time, my father came to feel like they were his extended family. I would recommend it to others looking or independent living.

The memory care facility is on the ground floor, with a small courtyard. Bedrooms have motion detectors in them. I do think that they need to get the community van going and have more outings for the memory care residents.

Harborside is going through a transition with new management and staff shortages. Medical care is great, but they are very short staffed. Midnight shift CNA's very poor, but the other shifts are great, so it's very hard to rate. Just be sure to stay involved with your family member and stay actively engaged with the staff. Majority of the staff is excellent. Medical care from medical professionals affiliated with facility are very proactive.

We went with this facility. Good tour, great size room, helpful staff. PROBLEM - after two months, just told the company has been bought. Uncertain about future cost and service. The staff has turned over so many times in the past two months, not sure who to contact on this. There are three meals, but breakfast is too early. I have eaten dinner once and there were two choices. Food was ok, but not great. Not like advertised, but the dining room staff was excellent. Communication via loud speaker which is almost impossible to understand. My hearing is normal, but I could not make out the announcement.

My loved one is getting really good care. The value for the money is fine. We picked this community, because it was recommend by a friend. We are pretty happy, with Bay Wood. I would recommend to other families.

Staff are incredibly friendly! Nursing staff isn't easy to get ahold of or return calls made sometimes ever. They've had multiple complaints on the food and the service in the dining hall. They've had meetings with the residents because it's so bad for multiple months now, with no improvement. They have lots of activities, but they are very female focused activities. For active men, there aren't a lot of things to do on a daily basis. The occupational therapy staff is excellent, but the physical therapy staff just doesn't have the equipment, space or ability to give specific, quality individual care.

This was a nice community. It wasn't the right fit for my loved one.

We came at a bad time during the transition to Bayside. But even though, follow up from administration staff is a challenge. The staff that I see working throughout the facility are great and knows what's going on. I only say this because getting the names of the physicians that come to this facility to set mom up with a new primary doctor, never happened. I found the group though and picked a very nice Nurse Practitioner who visits her.

They have been very helpful, and I am satisfied. They are very busy, and sometimes is a challege getting in touch with the nurse. The interaction with the staff has been a pretty good. They have a lot of stuff going on with the activiites.

This was a nice community, it felt more independent living than what our loved one needed.

The staff could not have been more kind or made me feel more comfortable. The facility for my loved one was just too large and the location would have been a far drive for me. I wanted him close so I could visit often.

Bay Wood was very similar to another place we looked at. The tour was good. The person who led the tour was very professional and knowledgeable. For my loved one in a wheelchair, the facility wasn't quite the right fit. But I thought it was a good place.

The location was perfect for our situation and was the major standout with this facility for us. The staff is very friendly and cooperative. They have just been very short handed and had some staffing issues that have caused some minor difficulties, which is why I gave them a 3 on staff. They have a very full calendar with lots of things to participate in which is very good for an active senior. I would recommend them to family and friends.

If you are looking for a place for your loved one, I would say you should consider the Grand Villa. I checked a lot of places and I believe I made the right choice by picking Grand Villa, The residents receive 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The activities are great and the activity director is very good!!

My folks are happy with the place. I think it was a good choice.

I toured this community and it was nice. It's brand new and very clean. Just wasn't quite what we were looking for.

One of the things my dad mentions quite often is how small the portions are at meal time and how unappetizing the food is. Since I haven't been allowed to be with him in the dinning room, I don't know if his comments are accurate. I know nowhere is perfect, but I think I was expecting a bit more

Overall we had a good tour experience with Grand Villa of Pinellas Park.

The rooms were small. No where to walk or get exercise. It did not feel like an assisted living place.
