Assisted Living Communities in Palm Bay, FL

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

"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 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."

"We moved into Brookdale West Melbourne. I liked it because it was on one floor. The people that were here met us at the door and told us how happy they were and how good the staff was to them, and we found that they were right. I was looking for a home, and I found one. All the staff are very caring and helpful. The people here are nice and friendly. They have a great cook. It's just a nice place. Our apartment is small, but it's homey and set up so that we can get along fine in it. They empty the trash every day. They do everything they need to do. The food is really good. If you don't like what they have, they'll substitute something for it, and they make sure that they try to satisfy you with the meal. We play bingo and different games. They have exercise classes. They transport us to doctors and where we need to go. They take them on trips. There's an area where you can go outside."

"When I arrived at Brookdale West Melbourne, they were very welcoming. However, they did not know that a tour had been scheduled, but they made time for me. They showed me a studio and a one-bedroom. The lady that toured me was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She was able to call her salesperson from Brookdale, and that person guided me through and let me know the prices and availability and the specials that were going on. The cleanliness was very good. Everything looked very nice."

"We went to Veterans and Seniors Care First. The seniors looked very comfortable. Everything that they did, they did it in a very professional way. My friend's grandparents liked being there, and that's a good thing. It was clean, the room was clean, everything about it was excellent. I would like to have my mom going there, but it's a little too pricey. When we went to the cafeteria, everyone was so happy there. They were eating, and they said the food was good."

"I live at Greenwood Place. The place has a comfortable room and big restroom with step down shower. They clean the room and do my laundry. They also hand out medications. The dining room is lovely and the food is really good. The outside is huge with places to sit outside. The activities director is awesome. She keeps us busy with numerous activities. Everyone's favorite is BINGO!!!!"

"What I like about Zon Beachside is they have lots of staff and they have good communication. They update me. Like anytime they need to let me know about anything that's going on with my mother they give me a call, whether or not she refuses food or she doesn't, like showering at night or versus the morning. So, communication is a great thing. They have lots of activities. They have excursions where they go outside of the building, like shopping. They have live music at dinner, reading, bingo, and cards. It's a little more expensive than others, but it's a good value for the money. They can have food delivered to the room if they desire. They have round the clock care. They wear a call button around their neck or on their wrists if they need anything. There are screened in porches so the residents can go on the porch and sit and enjoy the fresh air. They have quick service. The telephone and televisions were hooked up quickly. My mother is in an efficiency apartment, Most of them are one0bedroom efficiencies, and it's a good size."

"My stepmom will move into The Brennity at Melbourne. I like the dining room layout and the social areas, such as the bar, where they do social gatherings. When we were there, they had a musician playing a guitar and singing some Motown music, and the room was full of people enjoying the musician. They have entertainment fairly often. She ate there twice, and her son ate there once with her. She enjoyed the food and very much liked the room that she selected. The layout was nice. It was 883 square feet, one bedroom, a beautiful layout, a nice kitchen, a nice laundry room, a walk-in closet, and plenty of room for her to bring a few things. It was an excellent choice for her. It was the largest of their one-bedroom units, but we liked it because the layout is ideal. The staff was good. The intake and signing of the contract were good. They also offered another on-site company unrelated to them that offered additional services as needed, which was very good."

"The Promenade was very nice and very clean, and the people were friendly. It was a nice tour, but it was overpriced for me. The place is only four or five years old. They had a salon and a little courtyard. The staff during the tour was very good, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The place was fairly new. Everything was in good shape. They got a nurse there. It seemed like they took very good care of the people that were there. I got to see other residents, not from the memory care unit, but residents who could get in and out around the grounds and stuff."

"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."

"The thought of moving from Assisted LIving to Memory Care was daunting. However we could not have made a better choice. Alura and its staff provide a safe and secure environment for our loved one and offer amazing activities to engage them in fun, entertaining and enriching events. A recent planned afternoon visit by a hired Elvis impersonator had the entire unit hooting and clapping to the music. It was unbelievable how alive the residents in memory care became the moment the entertainer stepped in. Memory issues? Not that day, everyone was signing the words, lots of dancing (wheel chairs and all) and even a peanut butter and banana sandwich snack. Kudos to Mary and her team for putting this together and for making a very MEMORABLE experience for the residents and their families."

"The Brennity at Vero Beach is upscale and it's pricy. It's top-of-the-line. They've also got unassisted living there, so wealthy people come down in the winter and stay there and they get golf privileges. It's a nice golf course. It's a fancy place. These people all do a wonderful job. They know what they're doing. They're professional. The restaurant had gourmet meals. When I was there, they had grilled salmon and tenderloin steak for that night. Everything was top shelf."
