The Village of Deerfield Beach

Kim

It was a very open place. A lot of the residents were wandering around, talking to us, and it was a very friendly atmosphere. The apartments were smaller, which I kind of didn't like. The staff was very friendly, very open, and very knowledgeable. You had to walk outside to get from one building to another, which I didn't like because of the inclement weather we tend to have down here.

My friend has moved in. The place is nice. It's neat. The people are friendly. They have a lot of activities for the elderly. They take them places. I think it's an excellent choice for any family member to choose from. She said the food is good. I like that it's clean. I just saw the activity listing. I know she likes the activities. I didn't see any of what they were doing, but from the list that they have, there are a lot of activities and a lot of good ones as well. There's always something for them to do to keep them active. Value for money is very good for her and the family as well.

I had an in-person tour. The staff was very friendly and responsive. I arrived way early for my appointment, so the person who was supposed to give me the tour couldn't because she was with another client. Someone else took me around and showed me the place. The best thing about them were the people. The facility itself was nice. The rooms were OK. I thought some of the furniture was a bit dated, but it was clean. They had their regular entrees for the day, but then you can always order other things off the menu, so there was enough variety. There was a café and a lounge. They had a nice outdoor space.

My mom is very happy with the staff she has dealt with. The staff are friendly and professional. My mom really loves her room. It is large, clean, and very comfortable. My mom plays bingo 4-5 times a week. They have parties and different activities weekly.

My father has moved in. So far, so good. I don't have any complaints. On its face, it seems like a nice place. The staff seems involved and friendly. I would recommend it if somebody had to go check it out for now. It's only been a month, so you never know. They've been very accommodating to me so far. I wouldn't degrade them in any way. For now, it's good. The staff is very accommodating. Their customer service is pretty good. I don't see any deficiencies in what I experience so far. The layout is good and simple. He's in memory care, so it's highly manageable the way they got it set up, which is pretty good. Everything's going well right now. I know they have a more conventional area for people that don't have a cognitive disorder. They're just older folks that need supervision and it's on the first floor and it seems very nice. When I was there, they had some lady doing a standup comedy routine or something in one of the rooms. They had them all in there doing something, but that's just what I witnessed. I think they're doing well. It seemed like they were happy there. I didn't see any people trying to escape or anything. I think their pricing is reasonable. I wish the whole thing was a lot cheaper, but I think for what it is, the going rates, I think it's comparable to most places.

My father is doing good here. He's been wanting to come home, but he needs memory care and he's been there for four weeks now. It's great so far. I don't have any complaints. It's very nice and clean, and the staff is nice and friendly. The rooms are nice. Everything is nice. His room has a bed and dressers. He had to bring his own TV, but he has a mini-refrigerator in the room. They have a barbershop there. They have a chef also. He's tried the food, but I guess because it's kind of healthy, he doesn't like it. They have salmon and sometimes steak or burgers (but not often because he's a diabetic). They have a good menu. The facilities look nice. He sounds so much better since he went there. It's expensive, but most memory care facilities are just about that amount.

It seemed like a nice place. It's not fancy, but it looked homey. The rooms were good-sized as far as accommodation for someone who needs assisted living. It had a bathroom, too. The hallways were like in a hotel, and it looked good. The food seemed to be well-provided. They had a chef making the meals, and just by looking at the menu a few times, they were really serving full meals, like you would probably get in a good restaurant. Overall, they seemed like a good fit for my mother-in-law. The staff was very friendly, explained a lot of details, and answered all the questions we had in detail. We had a good experience with her. With the virus, they're a little bit limited like any place would be. There are certain activities they can't do now, like going out to the beach, to the mall, and to different places, but they plan on doing them in the future. They had crafts and supposedly different clubs, like gardening clubs, but it's all gonna depend how my mother-in-law fits and what she wants to do. My mother-in-law speaks mostly Spanish, and she speaks and understands some English. When we went there last time, she met someone who's gonna be her next door neighbor who also was Spanish. That's gonna be important too, so that she feels comfortable talking to them. We didn't interact with the staff that much other than the salesperson whom we've dealt with mostly, but everybody seemed very friendly and available.

I visited. They're very friendly, very nice, and the residents seemed happy. It was a very nice, clean looking facility. What made a difference compared to the other places we saw, which might have been more posh or more upscale, was that the residents seemed happy, they were all smiling, and they look well cared for. The caretakers seemed to care, were friendlier, more engaged, and knew the tenants' names. The negative is they didn't have a garden and the grounds were not as lush as other places. It's off of major highways, so it's a bit noisy. Other than that, it looked fine. The staff member during the tour was very helpful.

My mother has been a resident for several weeks now. The main thing that I find attractive is that the people who work there are extremely caring. After one month, everyone who works there already knows her, which I find wonderful. The reason why we moved her was because we're looking for a place that works with Medicaid and this one does. The rooms are nice and very adequate. The staff is really wonderful, and the food is great. It has a homey environment which is really nice. It's pretty cut and dry, since they work with Medicaid, so most of the rooms are double rooms for two people. When my mom first went, she had a lovely roommate. Everything is considered. There's room for two beds, two dressers, and closets. There are also people who have single apartments. I would rate them a 5 for the care, the overall atmosphere, and food. It's not real fancy but it's not a nursing home either. It's a very nice assisted living.

It is very good, but they have a lot of people, and we were looking for a smaller facility. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were very nice and large. They have a salon.

It 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.
