Volante Senior Living

We virtually toured this community. The staff was very friendly and shared a lot of great information. The tour was good but we couldn't do an in-person tour due to covid

It is probably the best place around here. I get weekly emails from the community. The staff is responsive to my calls to check on my loved one. My loved one enjoys the food here. There are arts and crafts, movies, social events, and other activities for the residents.

Our family had a virtual tour experience and when they were showing us around we realized that the community had multiple stories. The activities were on the 2nd and 3rd floor so the accessibility would be difficult for some residents.

Definitely have a camera in the room so that the family can see what's going on with that loved one when they are not there. The biggest problem was the food, it wasn't good, Breakfast was fine but lunch and dinner were the same meal. We chose this community because that had availability and I looked at others and this looked to be best of the ones I've seen. I would not recommend this community to other families.

Facility was clean and people seemed nice. Wasn't aware that they didn't have 24/7 nursing care (in emergency). Something that I should have checked out myself better! Guess they dropped some of that. (didn't want to pay the extra license) Residents seem to like group activities like the balloon volleyball. They need more of those.. People do enjoy the music and the ice cream social. More bus tours going some places..

I would be hesitant to put someone here. They are not truthful and will not take constructive criticism. The Executive Director thinks he can smooze everything but he is either not truthful or he lets his staff lie to him. They hire some young sweet people without a lot of skill and they have nobody to train them. Big on appearance small on skill and integrity is my impression- it’s a beautiful place at first impression. Don’t report incidents to family and deny when confronted.

Great place, but not a good fit for dad, because they don't offer skilled nursing level care. However, I would recommend this place. Administrator/sales team extremely helpful!

Nice but not for Dad.

I took a tour and was very impressed with the variety of services and amenities available. However I found the apartments to be small and the kitchens and bathrooms dated. The price seems reasonable for all the services that are included: 3 meals a day, linen and cleaning service every day, laundry service, transportation, shows, outside events, movies, 2 pools and a friendly staff. I saw a lot of people who were chatting and congregating and they looked happy. If you don't need the newest or something too fancy, this could be a great place for you.

This is a newer facility and it looks really nice on the inside and outside. The only problem I really have is that the location is really poor. It sits in the middle of nowhere. There are churches nearby along with farming land and a freeway. There weren't very many balcony apartments and that was one of our requirements. Unfortunately, we couldn't pick this facility because they didn't have any balcony apartments available and we weren't happy with the location of the facility

[Removed] is very nice and knowledgeable. Was doing good until we went into the secure portion of the building which is memory care. The odor hits you hard as soon as you walk through the door through out the secure area though no smell what detected tin the main part of the community. The residents rooms were very smelly and uninviting. One lady had on a very dirty shirt that seem to be ill fitting or inside out. I would think that someone should have helped her with that. She was not in the memory care part of the facility.

I had recently taken a tour of this community for my mother. I thought they had a great first impression and all of the residents seemed to be enjoying themselves that I could see. I liked how professional the staff where and thought they did a great job with answering all of my questions that I had for them in detail. I also liked that they had an open floor plan that was easy to navigate through.

Dancing River Assisted Living was a nice and clean community. It was a little-tired looking and could use some updating so that it had better curb appeal. The staff members were friendly and professional. We chose another community that better suited our needs.

On the surface, this looks like a great place when you tour and talk to the managers. Once you've been with them for awhile (2 weeks or so!), things change. You don't get the services promised. Difficult to find anyone of any importance available to speak to if you want to. The weekends are horrible at this facility - no activities, no managers, bad food, inexperienced staff, poor security. During the week, things aren't too bad because you can get some help for your family member if you make enough noise - typical medical organization. Managers say that they will solve problems but then...(crickets chirping.) They don't really care if you're unhappy with the services. Very apathetic staff, no enthusiasm, they act like they're bored with you.

At first it was a ruff start for us here at this community. There wasn't many activities offered for the residents. Also church trips were important, and they were not providing any. Overall we are pleased, but my mother tends to get bored at times. Hopefully with this new director things improve.

I feel the care given is suitable here. The staff prepare and make good meals. It is well kept all over the facility. They are happy here and has even made a friend. Recently we discovered the facility does not have some permits to provide necessary medical needs. At times I had to insist resolutions to some problems. Now we have to find a more suitable community for the right medical attention.

The Grand Villa of Pinellas Park looks very nice. The tour went pretty good and enjoyed seeing what is offered. This was not a fit for my mom either due to the distance from me.

My Dad is a new resident at Dancing River and when he moved in I was wondering why the community didn't have some type of buddy system for the new residents until they are familiarized. i really think that would help. The home health agency the community uses is completely wonderful and they communicate with me unlike the staff at Dancing River itself. Overall, we are still trying to adjust but hoping that with time things get easier.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. Compared to some other communities I saw (including another Grand Villa location) I was not too impressed with Grand Villa of Pinellas Park. The staff here were friendly and the residents seemed well cared for, but the facility itself felt like an old fashioned nursing home. It just wasn't somewhere I thought my loved one would be comfortable.

Overall impression was okay, however; after moving in, I did not realize I had to supply my own refrigerator. Secondly, I also found the walls are thin; as I received a complaint for using my washer from 8:00pm to about 10:00p.m. one evening. The good part is there is not a deposit, but there is a non-refundable $600.00 fee. Also, you can have pets without having to pay a fee. Awesome! One place I looked wanted to charge $50.00 per month for a pet! Bathroom toilet had and order I suppose from the blind man who previously lived in cottage prior to me moving in. Took me awhile to eliminate the smell.
