The Best Assisted Living Communities in Volusia County, FL

"We toured Blue Palms Senior Living of Deland. I liked that we met somebody. They showed all the things that were there. There's a cafeteria you can go to, a little gym, and a library. There is independent living here, and assisted living, and there are different steps right there. It was close to downtown. I thought it was great. The person who gave us the tour was a nice lady who was very positive, listened to us, and showed us some different options."

"Grand Villa is very family-oriented. We were able to take our young kids there for family game nights. They serving three meals a day of high-end cuisine from a private chef. It is not buffet-style. They have a menu that changes weekly. They have a beauty salon, a craft store, and a country store with snacks. They have transportation to doctors' appointments and to weekly retreats out to dinner and shopping. They have a swimming pool open all year round. The room is actually like a 5-star hotel service. We stayed at The Hilton Hotel a lot, and it is almost comparable to that, so you get room service once a week and laundry. They give my mother-in-law transportation every week. They have a weekly logbook, and she logs in when she needs to go, and then they will take her. Anytime she has any questions, they're very helpful. They call us weekly to ask how Linda is feeling about everything, and then they will also let us know what she is doing there and what activity she is participating in, which is a really big thing. That way, we know what's going on when we can't get over there. They're very kind. One of the biggest things she likes is that they have their own like residential community where the community gets to decide and make the decision on what Grand Villa actually does. So, if they're adding a new amenity or if they're wanting to go and do retreat, every single one of the residents gets to vote on it, and they go off of what the residents want instead of what the staff wants to do.

"I recently visited Ormond in the Pines, it is a beautiful community. The staff was very friendly. I made an appointment to have lunch, I was introduced to a table of great people and the food was amazing. I saw the model apartment , I was very surprised how big the 1 bedroom is, I love the fact they have full kitchens. I am very excited about moving in and look forward to all the fun activities and outings with new friends."

"We were able to visit Rivera, and it was nice. It offered several amenities of what we were looking for, but not exactly what we were looking for. It was also expensive for what we could afford. I saw them doing activities like bingo. I saw a lady walking, and she was kind of lost. Everybody was so helpful, and I think that was a good thing. "

"The staff at Brookdale DeLand was very organized and very friendly, but my father needs more assistance than what they can provide right now. The rooms/apartments were very clean and very nice. They're very updated. They almost looked like they're brand new. The dining room was nice. They have some activities. As for security, they have a door where they can't go out unless they have somebody that would let them out. It was a locked facility. I would recommend them only for assisted living because it didn't seem as though they're capable of doing anything more than that. "

"I toured Angel Premium Care LLC. Upon entering the home, it is a private dwelling. It was very clean and very nice. She had one other patient in the home who was bedridden. If we decided to go with that, my mom would have shared the room with the other patient. I didn't particularly care for that because it was a male, and there was no separation in the room. In other words, if my mom had gone there, a male could have been in another bed. I didn't care for the fact that the residents mostly have to stay in that one room because it is a private home. So, she is doing a good job. The owner was very nice, but it would not be for my mom. It was very nice on the inside. The owner lives there, so it was kept up. I don't want to say anything bad about it, but for my mom, it's just not the right place."

"I visited Lexington Place. It was brand new, well done, and with plenty of parking around it. Every room has the right kind of window. The 2-bedroom unit was very nice and a good size. They have 2 bathrooms and 2 excellent sized walk-in closets. We saw ladies playing cards and some people eating in one of the areas -- it looked really nice. The people that I met were very nice, which I was impressed by this. However, it was very expensive."

"Alba Court Residences & Adult Day Care Center had a lot to offer. The building was four stories but had a very small living apartment (I would hardly call it an apartment). It was a one-bedroom and the two bedrooms were also tiny that it was almost like being in a college dorm. It was very difficult to put a king-sized bed in the bedroom, but the living environment was very cozy and warm. Each room had a small balcony. Unfortunately, those that got better views were all taken. It was in a very nice beach town. It's a busy place most of the year-round, but you could feel like you could be a part of the town, not just the residence itself."

"I like Brookdale Ormond Beach. It seems like a very beautiful place. It looks like the people are engaged. The menu looked good. I didn't see the food, but I liked the choices that they had. I thought it was good. My mom has been in another place in the last couple of months, and I thought Brookdale Ormond Beach looked even better than that place. I talked to the person who was in sales and marketing. She introduced me to the head of nursing, and she was nice, too. I saw people sitting there waiting to go to their lunch and the nurse was meeting them to take to some of their things and somebody coming down pushing somebody for lunch and stuff like that. They went to lunch in the dining room full of people and it looked like they were lingering after their lunch to talk to each other. They had a lot of nice places like sitting areas and things going on where they had activity. It looks like a nice place. I hope my mom goes there, I do. They had different areas throughout the facility. It's not like the place my mom was in before. They had all kinds of different rooms. They had happy hour and a pool table. There were a lot of men there and stuff. It was nice. They had a nice gazebo out back. The lady, who is the chef, is passionate about gardening, and she has started a gardening club with some of the residents and they are planting all kinds of flowers out at the gazebo. "

"My in-laws are at Woodland Towers for about three weeks now. It's a very happy place and the people there are happy as well. The staff has been very helpful and they seem to be on top of things. We are really happy. The food is great. "

"Grand Villa was beautiful, but it wasn't what my dad needed. It was newer, so it was a little prettier and cleaner. It was in a nice location. It was a much larger facility than others we visited. We only talked to the intake coordinator, who was very helpful. "

"My husband moved to Gold Choice Deltona, and the staff is wonderful. Everybody there has been extremely helpful. They've helped him adjust very well, and he's doing fine. His moving-in process went very well, and it's been a very good experience for the most part. One roommate started going through his things a little bit, and that upset him a bit, but it was taken care of promptly."

"We toured Sancerre at Orange City. It was nice and very clean, and the people were very friendly. The facility was nicely decorated and it's a very pleasant place. The people I talked to were nice, very informative, and very helpful. The rooms seemed to be a comfortable size. They're small, but they seem to be very adequate space-wise. It was laid out nicely and easy to get around."
