Discovery Village St. Augustine

We toured. It's pretty. They have a lot of entertainment and a schedule you could do if you want to. The rooms were very nice and they're all clean. The lady who took us on the tour was very, very helpful. She tried to help me. If I get rid of the dog or if he does, I'm probably going here. It's my first choice, but they're a little expensive. The amenities they have look very good. It's closer to where I live. They have a one-bedroom apartment. They do have a couple of studio apartments.

It was nice, but I don't think they have that much flexibility with the food service. The main thing that made me steer away from them was when I asked if anyone was sitting by the door 24/7. They said, "Oh, no. Any resident can just walk out the front door at any time." I asked, "With all these people who are starting to get dementia?" She goes, "Oh, that would be a problem if your mom has anything like that." They don't offer memory care if it gets to that point later. Their amenities and activities are comparable to the community that we chose. This place is certainly nice. They have a minimum room. It was a studio with a little kitchenette, a big bathroom, and a closet. It was just an open room. They have lots of physical activities, entertainment type activities, a little exercise area, salon, library, and so on. I didn't think the lady that showed us around was very welcoming. There was no invite to try their food or spend the afternoon or anything like that. The building itself was nice, new, and up-to-date.

We chose here for my brother because there was an apartment that opened right away as we were looking. They have their own library, but they also have the bookmobile services from the library of St. Johns County. They have all kinds of different activities, like computer classes. They would also bring the food up to him if he can't go down and he's also checked on every day. The food is excellent. They have a standard menu and choices daily. They also have a little cafe for afterhours, so there's always food available. They also have their own bus service which takes them shopping and to different medical appointments. The staff is very cheerful and very caring, from the person who cleans to the people in the dining room. The building itself is stunning, beautiful, and very clean. You would think it is a brand-new place.

It is beautiful, bright, cheerful, and comfortable. The person who assisted me was a lovely lady, knowledgeable and helped us a lot. There are plenty of activities going on, and I highly recommend it. The food and services are wonderful.

I found here for my mother. We chose this community because it was the nicest one. The staff was all fabulous. They were very good, very nice and very kind to her. Everything is five-star. Their rooms are beautiful. Their dining room is very nice. They have everything like field trips. What I like best about this community is the staff and the cleanliness and that it is new and pretty.
