Volante Senior Living

So far the aids and nurses are nice and take good care of my mom , but the head of wellness says a lot but doesn't do much

The rooms are not kept clean. I had to ask for someone to clean on a few occasions They are generally friendly but not good at follow up. Wound care nurse not very good. My mom is not assisted with much. My mom hates the food. I have never tried the food. I know they have activities but my mom has not participated in them. No one has tried to encourage her either. The place is expensive which I was aware of but the money we are paying far outweighs the value we have received. I also know the management is relatively new but they don't seem to be able to get things going in the right direction. I am sorry to say that I would not recommend La Orilla.

We toured The Heritage at Delray when looking for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was okay, however there was a waiting list for one bedroom units. Coming from owning her own home, I didn't think that my loved one would like to move to a studio.

There is no perfect place. Sage Spring is relatively new so staff was new. Also there was change in the director of memory care unit. My major complaint was that it was hard to reach staff in that section on the phone. Facility was short staffed nights and weekends. Usually if medical situation arose I had to deal with it. My loved one had COVID twice even though he was vaccinated.

Ashbrook village went up on our rent from $[removed] a month to $[removed] a month with one month notice. The apartments are old and the porches are about to fall in. There are NO amities except for one old barbecue grill that hasn’t been used in years. The apartments are infested with bugs that we are responsible to exterminate. They ask for $[removed] community fee along with a $[removed] non refundable deposit and another $[removed] for a pet. There are no pet parks and no amenities for the community fee. They do not care about the residents, in fact, we feel they want to run us off so they can collect more non refundable deposits. The only good part are the residents. We love and try to watch out for each other.

The Sage Spring community does seem to be short staffed. Their food was horrible. [name removed] (director) was fabulous!! What staff was there were sweet!! With the exception of the food yes. [name removed] I overheard her offer to go to a fast food restaurant to get our loved one something because he wouldn't eat.

The pricing only includes laundry and apartment cleaning & there will be an upcharge for any assistance they need. Staff are very friendly but they have some pain points with technology (billing system, a/c units, neck lanyards malfunctioning). The food is not anything special but the activities they provide are good for seniors to stay engaged.

We liked the community. However, my loved one enjoyed the residents more at another community they toured.

This was a nice community and the staff was great to work with. We felt more at home at another community. The community felt more hospital like and was close to a highway.

Our family had an in person tour and the lady who led the tour was almost to overly friendly and bubbly and for what they had to offer the pricing was to high. They did have a decent outdoor area and a nice trail that did circle the community with blueberry bushes, but it was off a busy street.

I toured Grand Villa of Melbourne and they have a great staff, who were very friendly. I wasn't as impressed because they had some things under construction like the pool and whatnot. It seemed like there were a lot more residents sitting around and I just didn't feel comfortable that it would be a place I'd want my mom to be. There was nothing wrong with it, but I go by feelings a lot. Because it was previously a hotel, it felt like a hotel atmosphere. It was busier, but people were kind of sitting around and I didn't get to see activity or organized activity.

The food was good. The place was beautiful and clean, but my love done was not getting the right care. They fell out of the chair a few times because the seats are not comfortable enough. It's so easy to fall asleep, and fall out of the chairs, and because of this, I moved my loved one from this facility.

The staff that are currently working there are great, but they are going through a big turnover right now so a lot of the staff we got to know has now come and gone. They just brought on a new chef so the meals are getting better and the overall value is starting to improve.

They are very over priced, for what it is.

They say they are going to do activities and then they do not do them or they cancel them - that has been my loved ones biggest complaint.

Our loved ones are enjoying the meals and dining service and all the activities but at this moment we would not recommend this community to others.

Our family had an in person tour and our loved one like how the room she would of had looked over the river, but we just did not see much activity going on. We didn't see residents interacting with each other, and there really isn't gathering places for people to hang out at.

Beautiful place but the care is not there for what you are paying for.

Sage Spring is a new facility therefore they have all new staff that are not necessarily trained on dementia care. Communication has been a problem and something they could definitely improve on. It is hard to reach the front desk and even harder to reach someone in the memory care unit. The facility itself is beautiful and the building is wonderful.
