Aventine at DeLand

MC

It had independent and assisted living. They had the outside units as well as the units in the high rise. It was nice, but the rooms were dark and most of the rooms had windows to the hallways, so you have a choice of everyone seeing you or having your room rather dark. The staff during the visit was very accommodating. The place was very nice. I really enjoyed some of it like the downstairs area, which had almost like a Parisian feel. They had a little area with the hairdresser and a little convenience store thing. It was set up like a little avenue with brick flooring, and it was very pleasant. The staff went through a lot of trouble trying to show us everything. We went to several units and looked.

I'm impressed and the rooms were outstanding. The two-bedroom apartment was the best I've seen. The dining area was great.

Everything is included, except her cell phone. They are constantly active with something going on all the time. There are several trips a week and three meals a day. They are very close to town. They can either walk or there’s a van to take them. It is very centrally located and very nice. It is close to other family members, too. For independent living, it is fabulous. It is a villa, and we looked at one that was a two-bedroom and two-bathroom with eat-in kitchen. They have a storage room inside the villa and a garage. It is fantastic.

My mother is in here. The make each of the residents feel like they are the one there. They make them all feel like they are cared for. The place was beautiful. It is very clean. They will do anything that she needs done. Right now, she is having help with her shower. They do her laundry, dishes, empty the garbage, and the other things that she can’t do right now. The dining room and the food are OK. They are working on it. My mother plays dominoes, lameque, pochino, and bingo.

We were very pleased. It had individual villas, some with garages, and towers for assisted living or beyond that. We ate dinner there and it was very nice. They had a beautiful atrium on the upper floor. We talked with quite a few people who were really very happy with all of the activities and stuff there. If there's one thing that can be improved on it would be that I'd like the people in the apartments to go to early stage assisted living before having to move into the towers.

It is an eight-story building with all of the privileges for people who can no longer cook and need nursing care. It's a full-scale facility. The staff seemed efficient and very helpful to our friends. We were visiting our friends who seemed very happy with the facility. The rooms were very good. The food was quite adequate.

This place here I selected is in some ways highly regarded. The staff is extremely selfless. They even occasionally voluntarily wear t-shirts that say, "I love my residents." The room is perfect. It includes a full kitchen, a full refrigerator, and a range. It also has a full laundry, washer, and dryer. Plus, there is an excellent bathroom with a shower and tub unlike any other I’ve used before. It has a seat that is built into the wall, and there are plenty of stainless steel hand holds. At this place, it just amazes me how many different activities are available every single day, seven days a week. There are so many that they’re listed every day on a large bulletin board that changes daily.

I have visited a lot of places, and here is the best because we don’t make a down payment; we just pay by the month. They have cottages and apartments. They have great food. They have excellent services. It’s a nice place in DeLand, and I would highly recommend it to anybody.

We saw it and my parents love almost everything about that place. They love the villas. It was very nice. Once they felt like that they could get their ducks in a row and sell their house and stuff, that's probably would be their first choice. The apartments were beautiful. There was like a two-bedroom, two-bath. It was very clean. They had just gone in and remodeled one, and it was almost like going into a brand new place. The facility was very nice and very accommodating. My parents like the pool area. They also like the dining room where you can go to, but they all have their own little kitchen and washer-dryer in the unit. My parents don't need the assisted living, but if they need it later, then they have that option there as well. We didn't eat there, but the dining set-up was actually gorgeous. They have a lot of good activities too, like movie nights and cards. My parents really like that place. They have different things going on. They have two or three different days where buses came and took them to the grocery store or shopping. So there was transportation for them as well. They have a doctor onsite as well. Also we like the idea that it was gated. Nobody could just go in and out of the place.

I like the villas and the meals here. It was beautiful. The staff was good, the meals were good, the dining room was clean, and the villas were excellent. They had a swimming pool, and they watch movies.

It is a big place, and currently I am in their independent living area. They have 7 or 8 things to do every day. They have movies, exercise, lectures, shopping trips, and all those sorts of things. I like that this facility is peaceful and quiet. The food is pretty good. The staff are very good and very friendly. The only problem here is that their evening meal is from 4:30 to 6, and that seems like eating in the afternoon. I chose this facility because, when the day comes that I need help, I won't have to move again. It's a gated community, and they check the vehicles, so you have to get a pass or a little sticker on your windshield. A lot of their residents don't have cars, so they have several buses that take them to Wal-Mart or to any shopping center.
