Emeritus at Boynton Beach

As I previously stated my grandmother only briefly stayed there but from what I could tell from spending time with her there she seemed very content while she was there. Everyone that I came in contact with nurses, supervisors, etc. seemed very nice and friendly. Everyone was very polite to us while we were there, me and my family. The people who worked there seemed very knowledgeable about my grandmother's case and helped her with the things she needed. The facility itself was very clean, there were no spills on the floor in the main areas and no strange smells came from rooms. I did not eat the food but my grandmother said the food was good for her, and it was well prepared. My grandmother and I didn't interact with other elderly people who were staying there while I was visiting but she said everyone was very nice to her. All in all this place was very nice and for the time that my grandmother spent there she seemed content.

This place is more convenient because it's nearer; however, we didn't like it. It was very institutional. It's around doctors' clinics and there's this oval driveway that leads to the home. People were not smiling; they seemed not happy. We didn't stay long in this place because we didn't like the marketing personnel either.

I have an aunt that is at this facility. The staff is friendly, they keep the facility clean. I visit there very often and have never heard the residents complaining. My Aunt likes it and says that everyone treats her well. My Aunt is a Boynton Village which was originally built as a hotel. The picture shown here is the one in Boynton on Jog Rd.

This used to be a hotel; it’s just a plain building outside. This facility is situated right on a main road so there’s no space for walking. In addition, this is just a small place whose residents are mostly 80 years old and above. But, they have a pool. This facility is well maintained and is clean too.

The apartments are nice. However, they have a very small kitchen with only a refrigerator and a microwave. They offer 3 meals every day and the food is good. The entertainments and activities they offer are similar to other facilities like watching TV in a group, memory activities, card games and many others. This facility is pet friendly too.

The facilities and the neighborhood are nice, because it's close to my house. I talked to some of the parents and loved ones with residents living in Emeritus and have received good feedback from them. But my mom didn't push through with assisted living yet because she can still manage living on her own.

Emeritus at Boynton Beach gets my vote for being a wonderful senior community. I have an aunt and uncle who live at this assisted living facility and they have never been happier. They are continuing to lead busy lives, but the difference is that now they know that help is available when they need it. Both of these people are in their mid-80s and they do have some issues as far as mobility is concerned. My aunt needs to use a walker and my uncle has had two strokes. They primarily require assistance with dressing and bathing, and occasionally my aunt needs help with her ambulation. Escorts can be provided for walking and the amount of personal assistance is adjusted according to the needs of each senior resident. This helps promote the maximum level of independence.

At one time they were hiring nurses and caregivers to come to their home, but they are much more content with the present arrangement because they feel less restricted since they can call for assistance when, and if they need it. There is an on-site beauty salon, a large, heated swimming pool, a communal dining area and a gorgeous courtyard. All residents are encouraged to participate in the activities sponsored by the fitness and wellness centers. Exercise is a daily event and it is easy to see how much fun everyone is having during these classes. There are even many exercise classes in which my aunt and uncle happily participate.

The staff was friendly and really seemed to care for the folks living there. Very clean and everything seemed calm and organized.
