Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach

Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach was very nice. We really liked it, but they were charging too much money. The staff was very attentive and very nice, and the person who took care of us was really good. The rooms were also very nice, but again, too expensive. They have amenities like a library, a salon, and we saw residents playing Chess and Bingo.

Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach seemed to be very clean, and they were in the midst of doing some upgrades. The maintenance looked to be adequate, and it seemed very orderly and not chaotic. The room I saw was in need of upgrades because it had been occupied for a long period time, so it was not in move-in condition. The grounds are well-maintained, and it was relatively easy to get to.

Grand Villa had a few people that were closer to my cousin's age, so we think that would be appropriate. Most of the places had much older people. The room is big, bright, and clean. It's very nice. I know they have bingo, music, and stuff like that. They also have a salon and a library. I think they have services, but they don't have a chapel.

We visited Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach. They showed us one room that was not very attractive. It was a room with a single bed and a dresser in it. We got a brief tour because the person who usually does the tour was not in on Saturday, the day my brother and I went. I wasn't impressed with Grand Villa place because it smelled really bad inside. When you walked into the lobby, there were people circled in wheelchairs facing each other and falling asleep. Nobody seemed to be engaging them in any activities.

My mother was in Grand Villa of Deerfield for 20 days. They had an activities director and played bingo a couple of days a week. Somebody came in and sang. I thought once they did the renovation and finished it, they might have had more stuff. The staff was friendly and pretty good, except in the memory care unit.

I was very impressed with Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach. It was very clean and had plenty of opportunities for residents to do activities and a very spacious room with a pool table, ping pong, and television. It was a very positive and good place to have my friend stay. I don't have negative comments about it at all. The staff is helpful, friendly, very nice, and good. The grounds were very well-kept, attractive, and had easy access. I had a wheelchair while taking the tour, and it was very easy to get in and out. The street was not very busy.

Grand Villa was fine. They are going to renovate as the place looked like freshen up. The rooms were very nice. There was a place where the people could go in the Alzheimer’s unit, but the grounds were not fantastic like other places.

I just returned from visiting this place. All they talked about was how they were renovating it. All the renovations in the world cannot take away from the smell (masked by plug-in deoderizers) and the overall shabbiness of the place. Even though I had thoroughly and honestly explained my mother's condition to them over the phone, they agreed to an appointment. I took my mother there, who is wheelchair bound because of a broken hip but in full possession of her faculties. We took the tour, even though they refused to discuss pricing with us.. After the tour, my mother was evaluated by a nurse. Then the "tour guide" and the nurse conferred and we were given the "bad news." My mother could not move in because there was no room in the facility for her level of care (which was not all that excessive...bathing, helping with dressing, assistance to the bathroom and lunch room, etc, standard assistance living care). I can't help but feel that my mother did not meet their standards of "renovation" that they so emphasized during the tour. Perhaps they are looking for a more upscale clientele. In that case, this place needs a lot more renovating than painting and creating new rooms, like a serious examination of the air quality, carpets, elevators, and overall shabbiness of both the place and the residents.
