Grand Villa of Ocala

Melissa

It was beautiful. I just felt like it might have been a little too upscale for my family, but it was again, definitely beautiful. The people were very nice and professional. The restaurant's dining atmosphere was also really nice. They had a gym and a nice therapy room. They were building some kind of little coffee shop in what they used to have an ice cream parlor. We saw people walking around with their pets. It was very nice and it was very clean.

It was good. I didn't have to park too far away from the door. They had a nice lobby and a dining room. The staff was friendly and helpful. They only had one room left available that we were interested in. The activities were about the same as the other place. They had physical therapy, a movie room, a library, bingo, and different activities.

I was impressed from the time I saw the facility to the time I got done with my tour, with everything they had, including the food. The rooms were very nice. They're very clean. The person who assisted me was very nice. She went above and beyond. She had taken a couple of meals out to my parents to try to give them an idea of how the food would be and what to expect. I wasn't expecting that. The dining area was very nice. It was good. They had several activities. They had the fitness room and the hair salon thing for women. It was nice.

They were wonderful here. I wrote a book, and they even had a book signing for me. I know they really wanted me to come. I would have gone there, but the room was too small. Other than that, everything was wonderful. I have large furniture, and it just wouldn't work out. They had nice activities. There's something going almost all day for them. They go out on the bus once a week for shopping, and they take you to your doctors and things. I can't complain about any of the amenities. They were great.

It was very nice, but it was a two-story facility and I think the part that I visited was more for higher functioning individuals. It was more of an apartment living so I don't think it's going to be able to meet the needs that I need for my spouse. They showed me the assisted living and the memory care unit. The staff gave me some information, but she wasn't as thorough as the person in the other facility I visited where they told me a lot of other things about the aides and attendants. Just a lot of information that this place did not but it could be because the people here don't need them or use them. They were very nice about inviting me to come to have a meal there. It seemed to be that the facilities were for the higher functioning individuals and it's very nice. They had a lot of activities and things like that too but I was looking more for memory care. The place was close to our home so it could have been a good location. It's like 5 minutes away and close to the community hospital.

I toured it and I was very impressed. It was very, very clean, and they have numerous activities. They have very nice dining and very good food. They've got just about anything you would want or could ask for. The rooms were very nice; the one I saw was very small. It was very clean and and gives you everything you need if you can take a small area. The staff was very personable and very knowledgeable.

We're moving my parents here, hopefully by next week. We toured it two days ago. We just looked at the rooms in assisted living. My mother is going to the assisted living section, but my father will go into memory care. Jenny, the sales rep we worked with, was very good. The rooms looked nice, they're nicely sized, and we looked at a single and a studio. They were very good to us.

We're picking this facility. This is assisted living with memory care. I didn't get really into their accommodations or their activities having to do these kinds of things quickly. I really didn't look at it a lot other than touring. I toured the room, it was nice. I went around for half an hour or so, but I really didn't get any further than that. Everybody was very nice and the staff was very good. Down in Florida, we don't have a lot of limitations at all, so I pretty much saw the whole facility. It is the one we're going to place my relative into. The room is a 1-bedroom with a bathroom. There is a window overlooking the courtyard and everything overlooks a courtyard. Other than that, it's fairly basic.

My dad is a resident and for the most part, it's awesome. They don't have very good telephone coverage for the old folks, and they have only one phone that everyone can use if they don't have a cellphone. Other than that, I've been thrilled with the way they know their clients and customers. We've been happy with the service so far. My dad's room is kind of like two rooms, and sort of like a studio because it has a bedroom area that's separate from the sitting area. It also has a little refrigerator and microwave in the kitchenette. It's very spacious and well lit, and there's a good-sized bathroom with a heated shower. It has everything he needs. From what I can tell, and from looking at the dining room, it seems to be a vibrant community. They have planned activities, and they were taking a group of people on a trip when I was there. They have a board with a list of everything that goes on every day, and my father also does therapy there a couple times a week. The place is very clean and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

My mom is living here. It's a beautiful and newer facility. The room is a little bit larger and the staff is very nice. They have classrooms, socials, manicures, and ice cream parties, so they keep them pretty busy. They have apartments too.

We really liked this facility. The people were super. It had a nice layout and memory care. They were very kind and willing to work with us. We worked with Young Marines, and when we had one of our drills there, they accommodated us to no end. We had invited the whole community, so people were coming in, many in wheelchairs, and enjoyed that event. The kids liked the food, too. They ate well that day.

I was very impressed. I loved the cafeteria, and the quality of the food looked very high. It appeared to have good care because they had doctors and a lab on site. Everything was great, and we were very happy with the whole place. Ginny was the one who assisted us, and she was great.

We put my father here, and it's wonderful. The staff is excellent. They call us for any little thing my dad might need or just to give an update on how he’s doing if he’s having a bad day. The apartment is really nice and has a nice window with a nice view. The food is excellent. The staff, from the cleaning staff to the RNs, are just wonderful. We’re very happy to have him in there. They’re exceptional. They have ice-cream socials in the memory care area where my dad lives. They have a history quiz and movie night with ice cream sodas, a library, and a "retrain your brain" activity every night, so they do a lot of things there.

We looked at this facility. It was beautiful and large. It had a lot to offer. They invited us for lunch, which was very good. The dining room was very nice, and the people were very nice as well. One thing that impressed me was the friendliness of the staff. It made a huge difference.

I toured this facility last week and I have to say that the building is absolutely beautiful. The staff was very nice and they were all smiling and actually interacting with their residents. The residents seem to love it there and I actually got a chance to speak with a few of them while having a wonderful meal in the dining room and they were all telling me how much they loved living there. I think that speaks volumes when the residents tell you how much they love it. The food was superb, there is not another assisted living facility in Ocala that has a menu like this one and the food just melted in my mouth. It was wonderful. To sum it all up, it is a wonderful place with a very friendly environment and I think I have made my choice....hands down this is the BEST!!!

It was lovely. It's a newer facility. The dining room was lovely. The rooms were bright, but small. It could not accommodate our furniture. We needed enough room for our basic king-sized bed and my husband's wheelchair. They don't have a kitchen in the apartment, and they would not let me bring my cats. Their residents seemed to be sicker and needed more care than my husband and me. It would be a nice place to live. It just wasn't suited for us at that time.

It is beautiful. The staff is amazing and the rooms are gorgeous. I would recommend it to people who could afford it.
