The Best Assisted Living Communities in Brevard County, FL

"The residents at Brookdale Melbourne seemed very happy and content and they were interacting with each other. Simone was fantastic. She deserves kudos. The building wasn't the newest that I've been in, but Simone was able to go over the emergency procedures with me very clearly and concisely for evacuation in case of a hurricane because we're in Florida. The residents were outgoing. They all spoke to me. It was pet friendly. I got to meet some of the pets and they were fantastic. The residents had an herb garden that they worked on together. A lot of the residents were watching a movie when I went through it. They just seemed like a cohesive team as opposed to individuals living in a facility. They seemed like a family and that's what struck me the most about that facility, and it was comfortable and real. It was like home. You didn't get an institutional feeling from it. I met with the activities director. She was facilitating a movie in one of the common areas. There was a gathering of residents, and they were all engaged. I would give the facilities director a high rating, too. What I saw there that I didn't see in any other place was they had a computer set up in one of their common living room areas. It had a large TV and they were free to use a computer if they needed to or wanted to. Simone was very informative. She broke everything out very clearly and concisely. She gave options and suggestions and that is so very much appreciated. When my mother does become receptive, I would probably definitely look there again. They had a variety on their menu. I loved it. It didn't look brand shiny new, but it looked comfy. They're undergoing some remodeling in some rooms, so that takes away a little bit from the appearance. There was new carpeting."

"I toured Palm Cottages. They were very nice people. They're just as good as the other facility, but they're not quite as close to me here. Other than that, they're about the same. The facilities were very clean. They had dedicated people for each little cottage. The staff members were great. They had a lot of activities going on."

"We toured Alura Senior Living. There were a lot of things I liked about it. It's newer. It was built in 2021. It is very fresh. I liked the wider halls, which were bright. The artwork was bright. I like the layout of the rooms, particularly the room with the balcony. It laid out well for my stepmom's needs. Something else that I like a lot is in their dining hall. They do not have assigned seats, which is good if you want to go and meet other people in the dining environment. I also like how they do their dining. They have set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they also have times that you can come down at any time and select from a different part of the menu so that you can eat on your schedule, not necessarily the facility's strict schedule. So, I like that flexibility. The staff was very pleasant and engaging. They liked working there. You could tell it from their demeanor and expressions, and you could tell in their eyes that they enjoyed it. So, everything with the staff was very, very good. They have a central courtyard with a pool with waterfalls with koi fish. They have some raised gardening plots for the residents to use either for flowers or vegetables, so the facility itself offers a lot. The overall atmosphere was certainly inviting. Everything was bright and cheery."

"I toured Century Oaks. The staff there were very efficient. They were undergoing a lot of changes when I looked at the place, but I loved their larger apartments. It's beautiful, and their rates were lower, and they were closer to $3,000. A washer and dryer, a stove, a refrigerator, and a microwave were all supplied. The one thing that held me back was that I didn't see many residents. They just seemed to whiz by, no smiles, nothing, just on their motor scooters. You could tell they were semi-independent, at least. The cafeteria is large."

"The Fountains of Melbourne was pretty highly rated. I think it's a little bit more expensive than what I wanted to spend on what I saw. I didn't get to eat, but I saw a little bit of the activities. As you enter into it, it's just bustling. Lots of things seemed to be going on. The facility was good. The people I talked to were pretty good. I didn't get to talk to that many."

"My parents moved into A Place Like Home. It's just a small facility and they're sharing a room in the facility. It seemed like the administrative staff was very caring and interested in trying to make the transition as smooth as possible. It's just a large, single-family home that has been converted into an assisted living facility. They've got four to six rooms, I'm not sure how big it was. It was very clean when I was there. They were very caring. The staff was going to try to have an outing with my father. I had spoken to the administrator about it as well, and they were going to try to get him out. The administrator worked with me on the monthly fee and we were able to come to an amicable conclusion on that, which I felt was very fair. It's not a large facility. So what they do is they bring in folks on a staggered basis to do certain things, like from what my understanding was, there will be a doctor on-site once, once every three weeks. There will be a nurse on-site once every three weeks. They have beauty care type things, for haircuts and things like that once every couple of weeks, so they're bringing people in to do the services as opposed to having somebody on site all the time because it's not a large facility."

"I moved into Glenbrooke Senior Living. My meals are all supplied. They clean the apartment once a week. They drive me to any doctor's appointments. It's a good place. Right now, I have a plan that says I get two meals a day. It works out well because I am not an early riser, and by the time they want to serve breakfast, I'm just getting out of bed. The apartment size is beautiful. It's just like moving into a regular apartment. I have a 1,200-square-foot apartment. I have a beautiful little patio. I don't pay for anything here except my TV. I just moved from across the hall. My initial apartment had very dark granite, and I liked a lot of light around me. Everything else about the apartment was perfect. It was clean. Washer and dryer are supplied. You do your laundry right in your apartment. Anything you could think of, they have there for you, including a microwave and a gas stove. It's wonderful and has a large pantry for someone who won't have to cook anymore. The food is very satisfactory. It's not gourmet, but it's not being served in a high school cafeteria either. There's more than one building. For the main building, where our dining area is, I would give it a five, but for the outbuildings we live in, those of us who can do a little more care, I'm going to give it a four because they are not doing the hallways as well as they should. Some things need updating or at least some reporting; you just shouldn't be satisfied with what's there if it's not right. Every hour, something is going on until seven o'clock at night. I enjoyed all the ones that I attended."

"I checked out both independent and assisted living at Grand Villa of Palm Bay. What we drove up there certainly was beautiful to look at. It would be a very nice home to come to, to live. It looked very upper class. It looked very clean. It is right on the water, which makes it very pristine also. The grounds and everything outside were immaculate. When I came in I met the lady at the desk. My daughter was with me. She verified our appointment. We met the young lady that was taking us on the tour, and we went to lunch first. There was nothing special prepared for us. We were given the same menu that everybody else had, which was their daily menu and also whatever the special of the day was at lunchtime. My daughter had the special, and I chose just something off of the regular menu. I was very satisfied. The food quality was excellent. The portions and everything were really appropriate. They didn't overfeed you, and they certainly didn't starve you. The staff was extremely accommodating. I enjoyed them very much."

"The tour we had went really well. The facility was pretty nice. It was very cozy, very clean, and very nice. The people were very attentive. Cindy was one that gave us the information about the financing situation and everything. The rooms were pretty big and spacious. So, it's pretty good for what we were looking for. The menu looked really good, too. They were playing bingo and they had a nice library, and they seemed really happy."

"Beloved senior living was the right choice for my mother. The best of care you could ask for to care of your loved ones."

"We looked at Crescent Wood's independent living in Titusville. Everything was perfect and clean. The lawns were manicured and I couldn't find anything wrong with it. The staff who assisted us was perfect, helpful, answered all my questions, and was very thorough. I didn't have the food but I saw the menu, and it looked like it was very good. The dining area was empty but it was large and spacious. The tables were set far enough apart to allow space for someone with a disability to get through easily. There was nothing going on when I was there, but I know the activities they have. They have a pool, art nights, and get-togethers with the veterans. They have a game room, which I did not see. I'm going by the brochure on this one. They have music entertainers come in once in a while. They will provide a vehicle to drive the residents if they need to go off-site. They have little luncheons or get-togethers, wine and cheese on Wednesday nights, and a few other activities."
