Volante Senior Living

My 95 year old dad looked at 4 different places and just immediately liked Grand Villa. The grounds are lovely, the staff amazing and helpful and the activities are PLENTIFUL! His little apartment is a really nice size; especially considering he is 6’3”! He has found interesting people pretty much immediately and I feel completely comfortable knowing he is in Grand Villa. Or as I like to call it, his “Retirement Resort Senior Camp”!

Very nicely decorated, very clean. Most of the staff are kind and understanding. A number of them go our of their way to help with unusual problems. The only problems I have noticed are common to the entire industry - these include lack of adequate training for persons entrusted with the heavy responsibility of giving medications, and sullen attitudes related to pay and difficulties with adequate staffing.

I love Dunedin. It is the quaintest little town. So many shops to browse. The festivals are fun. Easy to walk to so many places. Grand Villa is very nice. Clean, well staffed, friendly. Convenient to doctors, hospital and shopping. The staff is so accommodating. Quick to respond to your needs.

Staff are great. ED is fabulous. Everyone is congenial LOVE living here - now 2 years. Would like to see large meal at evening time. I am an ambassador for the community and love what I do.

Very convenient place to live. The staff are very nice and very helpful. Executive Director [name removed] is extremely helpful and friendly. There are plenty of activities offered to help us pass time.

Really enjoyed my visit. I was expected and welcomed when I arrived for the tour. I felt this establishment really values their reaidents and takes pride in their Committment to them. I left feeling that all of my questions were answered.

I like Grand Villa, but I think it may be too big for my mother plus the price is also much higher than my mother can afford. I would like to tour the other options to see what they are like. The move-in special was not that compelling either. With the $100 pet fee and the $200 move-in fee, that only brings the cost down $100. That's about $500 - $600 higher than I think my mother can afford.

I took a tour here while looking for a place for my Mom. They did a nice job of showing me around and answering my questions and the place itself is very nice. They’re just starting to introduce memory care so I didn’t feel like they had enough in place as far as programs or staff were concerned. But they do seem to be working on it. For the assisted living, they looked pretty great. They look like they’re doing everything right; my only concern is that their expansion to memory care is so new, I’m sure it’ll take quite a bit of time to bring in residents and make it feel more like a group.

I decided to tour this facility because they have a memory care unit which is what my Wife needs. Upon arriving, I notice that the unit is much smaller than other facilities and they don’t really have room for my wife to walk around. If I brought my wife here, I would be able to walk her around the facility as long as she was with me. While I’m not there she would, unfortunately, have to be locked in the memory care unit. They do offer a lot of activities and all of the staff members are very nice. They also have a doctor come in once a week to check on the residents. One thing that I really liked is that facility offers a nice view of the mountains. I would recommend this facility to other families.

Recently spent a day with staff of Crescent Park Senior Living. All staff were friendly, engaged, and seemed truly interested in their jobs..and in ME. However, the visit was pointless, no matter how enjoyable,as it soon became obvious that Crescent Park is far beyond my financial capability. This, in spite of my making clear before scheduling the visit, the actual extent of the limited resources available. Ultimately quite discouraging!

When we toured this community I liked it much better than where dad currently is but he didn't like this place as much. The staff was nice and friendly. The community appeared clean and well maintained. But since this was my dad decided he went to another community.

I really liked the Grand Villa of Melbourne. The staff was very friendly and they gave a nice tour of their facility. It was very clean. My dad would not have liked it because he would think he was on a cruise ship. Lots of activities going on, beautiful, fun, community.

We had a very nice tour here, the community was very nice and the staff giving the tour did a great job. We also enjoyed having lunch there and the food was pretty good as well. This would have been a good fit for my mom except that they are set-up more for independent living and my mom needs assisted care.

This is a larger community with nice grounds. The people we met were nice I just did not get the homey feeling we were looking for in a community. This community does offer transportation and they allow pets.

It was a very nice community when I had a tour. We liked this place a lot. This is where we would go if there is a change that is needed. They are a little bit more expensive. The person we met with was able to answer any questions we had and they were nice.

I saw a nice place when we had a tour. The staff are very nice and I liked their community. It was close to mom's birthday so they meet us with balloons for her. they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable and welcomed.

Overall impressions were positive. Facility was clean and brights. I noticed multiple, positive interactions between staff and residents. Pretty much what I expected. Misunderstanding didn't allow us to sample food at lunch, but menu looked good with many options. Good to see they're building an addition to house a theater w/ stadium seating for entertainment purposes. There was no pressure during the presentation to make a deposit or 'act now', which was well received,

Very impressed. Clean fresh bright cheery atmosphere. This was the first place I looked at. I was very impressed. Bright cheery homey atmosphere. Good attention to detail. I would feel very good about having my mom live here

I realized after I went to the community, it gets overwhelming to tour many places. When searching for a good community, location became an important requirement. This community was 10 miles away and would not be convenient to visit through out the week. The tour was great.

I researched and picked 5 places to visit what I thought might be a good place for my mom. They all seemed to have kind and caring staff. I narrowed it down to 2 places to show my mom. She really liked both places but felt most at home at Crescent Park. Good food available from 7-7 except Sunday 10-2 included with monthly rent was a big factor in our decision. So far, 1 week, everyone, staff and residents ,have been very friendly and helpful. I recommend having lunch with residents (not staff) and asking them what they think about the place. Or just start up a chat with them when you visit. Often they have had experience with other places too and can be very helpful and can give real feedback
