Assisted Living Communities in De Land, FL

"We toured Gold Choice Deltona. It was very clean. I was impressed. We got a chance to walk around. It's nice. The staff was friendly. We only met two of the staff members, but they were nice. My mom started asking the other lady questions, and she answered, and everyone seemed upbeat. It was a good experience."

"I toured Ansley Parke at Orange City, and the overall tour was good. Everything went well. The community was beautiful, but the pricing was out of my range. The rooms were neat and clean and large enough for two. The staff was very nice, sweet, and informative."

"I toured Sancerre at Orange City. It was very nice, but it was out of my price range. It's a newer facility. Everyone was very nice. The marketing director was very nice. He was a young man. He wanted to let me know he would help me any way he could. It was very clean. I got a very nice vibe from the place. The rooms were nice. They have a patio area, and it was open. They had plants, places for the people to sit, and plenty of parking."

"My wife was a resident at Lanyard Manor for more than two years where I visited her almost daily. During these visits (at different times of the day) I never witnessed anything but great care and consideration by Greg and Theresa and the staff. They frequently have a list of potential residents waiting to join them. When my time to need assistance arrives, I hope that I will be able to join the Lanyard Manor list of residents. "

"We got Dad settled at Marina Isle Assisted Living. He seems to be very happy on the water there. There was a bit of a complication with all the paperwork. I had to make four different trips back to my dad's primary doctor to get the correct form that they would accept. Even though we have the legal form in this house already that was currently signed by his doctor, they had to have their own unique form. I guess different homes have different requirements, but it would seem that if it's a legal document, it should be accepted everywhere. Having to redo all the documents just on their form was a bit on the frustrating side, but once that was done, the people inside were very caring, the nurses were caring, and they've been taking care of my dad. It's great. Its view is fantastic. The administration was the only frustration, but the care has been fantastic. They're 300 square feet rooms. It's adequate for what he needs. We couldn't fit bigger than a full-size bed, but we have his full-size bed, his two chairs from home, and a small fridge. They have three meals a day, which he doesn't need, but he likes to have snacks and stuff down to the little coffee bar. The bathroom facility has a walk-in shower. He prefers a bath, but for people with mobility issues, I guess that's a good thing. The floor nurses have been fantastic and he's developed a rapport and they're taking care of him. I'm satisfied. The staff is friendly. I had lunch with my dad and he says it's been OK. It's cafeteria food but it's three meals a day that he doesn't have to fix, so I'm super happy about that. It seems to be nutritious. They have the ala carte of hamburgers and sandwiches if you don't want their meal. The flexibility is nice. It's not a five-star restaurant, but it is good food regularly fixed and hot and that's what's important. They have daily activities posted on the elevators on the walls. They have tours. They have a bus that takes them around Sanford at least twice or three times a week, to go out to lunches or dinners or something like that if they want to get out. They have boat rides twice a month because they're on the Marina. That part is super exciting. Even for my dad who doesn't like people necessarily, he is starting to enjoy that. That was a big plus for me getting him into a place where he would have activities. I've seen him greatly improve just by having the social activities, availability, and the flexibility. He can stay in his room and just look out over the water and watch the sailboats go by reading books, which he does a lot. It's a good fit overall. Three meals a day, laundry, linens done, baths three times a week, the view, and the social activities, all that's right at $4000 if you're on the waterfront side. I think that's a good value compared to other places around. It seems worth it for us. It's a good place and I'm happy so far for my dad and he seems to be doing well. There are only 70 residents in this place. I like the smaller feel, plus I like the waterfront aspect, something he can enjoy."

"Bahama Bay Club Luxury Senior Living was a very nice facility. I enjoyed my tour. I know some people who have recently moved in there, and they're happy with it. It's all brand new. They had a library. It seemed like they had everything they needed. The staff was very informative and very pleasant."

"It was very nice. The only difference was it was a little far for me to drive to go see my loved one. The place was very open and decorated very nicely. The dining room was restaurant-style. They had buses that come and go for different activities, plus they had bingo, arts and crafts, and exercises. "

"My mother-in-law moved into The Addison of Port Orange. It looks like a five-star hotel. It's very nice, professional, and extremely clean, so I chose them. They offer state-of-the-art care. They have a lot of AI things going on, like modern technologies to help with balance. They have in-house PT and OT. So, that was also very, very good. The food is excellent, too. They have their private chef. Even my mother-in-law with Alzheimer's feels like she's in a fancy restaurant, a very nice place. They have the lowest patient-to-staff ratio, so they have a lot of staff. They are a bit pricey, but you get what you're paying for with them, so that's fine."

"Pendry Estate Assisted Living Facility is a beautiful Spanish style home located on 11 acres, in Lake County, Florida. My mother is a resident at Pendry, and will tell you that she has so much respect for Mel D, the owner of Pendry. My mother is a retired nurse, and former director of nursing and nursing home administrator. Mom is the first to give her unsolicited praise of the kind and compassionate care delivered at Pendry. If you visit before lunch, you will first notice the delicious smells as you enter the front door. You will likely find Mel in the kitchen chopping fresh vegetables, and putting the finishing touches on something mouthwatering simmering on the stove. The home is immaculately kept, and has an open floor plan with Spanish tile floors throughout the common areas. There are eight private bedrooms, each with a large roll-in shower. Most of the rooms overlook a heated pool, just beyond a large wrap-around porch, complete with a built-in brick barbeque. Mel encourages the families and friends of the residents to take full advantage of the amenities Pendry has to offer, including the barbeque and pool. Pendry is truly like a home. Our regular visits have given us numerous opportunity to witness the great care given to all of the residents (anytime of day, any day of the week)!"

"The Gallery at Port Orange was brand new. I went there on their first day of opening, so the tour guide was busy and we only interacted with her. I didn't see any other employees, but the facility was beautiful. The rooms were perfect. They had a pool, an exercise room, a courtyard, and lots of great sitting areas though."

"Seagrass Village of Port Orange was a very nice community. We were very impressed with it. It would be on the top of our list, if we were making a choice now. The only drawback is that in the past hurricanes we had here, their first floor was flooded out. It is concerning to me. Overall, it looked like a very well operated community. They showed the 1-bedroom and the 2-bedroom units. They were quite nice. They showed us all of the common areas, from the dining room to the exercise room. It looked like they have an adequate amount of activities. They had everything that one would want."

"HarborChase of Daytona Beach was very nice. The people were very friendly. It's very clean and attractive. You felt good in it when you first go in. In the memory care they had semi and private rooms. I would have preferred private for my husband. The semis shared the bathroom, but they had sliding doors to each side, and that made it very small. A private room had a little more space to move around. They're in lockdown, but I liked the idea that they can go out and walk around, and they have quite a large area for them to move around in grass. They even had a little doggy area that if they had a pet, they could take it there. It was really nice, and they were contained so they couldn't just go out on the street or anything like that. It was very well kept. I liked it. They had their own quarters. It was very nice and upscale. They had a little theater. If I could have afforded it, I would've had my husband there. They have a little store type thing. It wasn't like there was nothing to look at. They also take them on little excursions, and they have their own eating area, which was very nice. It was newer."

"Magnolia Manor was my number two choice. They have a lovely place. They've been around a whole lot longer. It's a little older community, but I met with the director, Katherine. She was very attentive to detail. They also have spacious rooms. Their hallways were a bit wider than the other ones we saw, which was nice for residents with walkers and stuff. They have an activities area that she took us to see and an enclosed outdoor patio area that's all screened-in with a fountain. It was really beautiful. The dining area was pleasant, too."
