Symphony at Stuart

Symphony at Stuart was great. The guy was really nice. They had a lot of nice amenities. They didn't have a pool or a balcony. Other than that, it was a beautiful facility. They were more reasonable in price. The dining area was beautiful. They have beautiful patios outside and what they call a theater, but it was a small TV. The facilities all looked beautiful, and then they maintained them very well.

Symphony at Stuart has been fabulous. The staff is amazing. It's a small facility. My parents don't have to walk for miles to get to the dining room and all those kinds of things. The activities are all central, but they're not far. Both my parents have trouble walking too far, so it's a good fit for them. They have a two-bedroom, which is lovely. They've been able to make it their own with pictures and furniture and whatnot. Everything that's there is great. I can't say enough about the people. They are amazing. We had several meals while we were moving my parents in. The dining hall is lovely. The staff is wonderful. The food is amazing. You get a nice selection, so it's not boring. It's very good tasting. They have a chef. They can provide almost anything, and they're very keen on what people like. I could see them helping people that have been there a while, knowing them by name, knowing what they like and don't like. The facility is so clean and beautiful. You get two entree selections every night. There's also a menu that you can choose from at any time, like hamburgers and sandwiches and things. If you don't like what's on the menu, you can choose those. My dad loves the soup at lunchtime. It's his favorite thing. They love the breakfast. We had an amazing French toast. We did have breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, so we experienced each setting. It's also nice that they can go any time between 7:00 and 7:00. They don't have any set time that they have to be there for a meal, which my dad likes. They played bingo a few times a week. They have some art classes. They have a teacher that comes in and helps them with their artwork. I saw some of it sitting out and that was the memory care folks that did it. They have a library, a post office, and a meeting room. From where my dad's room is, to where the dining hall is, they pass by the facility where he can do physical therapy. Then there's the gym and then they go into the hall and in the hall is where they have the pub, the dining hall, the bingo, and they have a piano there. One of the residents plays almost daily. They also have live entertainment. When my husband and I were there on a Friday afternoon, we could hear the music playing, and the residents were all gathered around. The assisted living residents could order drinks if they wanted to, but they also brought the memory care patients out so they could enjoy the music, which I thought was pretty awesome. We met the sales staff and the move-in coordinator, and they were just amazing. We've already kind of built relationships with some of them. Just from them seeing us, they learned our names pretty quickly. They knew us by face when we came in there. When my parents first arrived, there was a big sign that said "Welcome" and they bought a welcome basket and they had things that both my parents liked. My stepmother likes creme brulee and the move-in coordinator was able to find pudding that was creme brulee flavored. She remembered that little detail from just one meeting, so it's pretty impressive.

The community of Symphony at Stuart would fit my mother best with regard to the ease of routine that she has, the newness of the facility, the added hurricane structure (like backup generators), her closeness to myself, and the activities they have. The director, Chris, was very helpful. We had a candid meeting, and my mom went through a lot of questions she had about the facility. We did a tour. We had lunch there and lunch was very nice. I even asked for something that wasn't on the regular menu, and they accommodated me. They were just very helpful. During lunch, we spoke not only to the director, but we also spoke to different staff and different residents. My mother liked that they have a Sunday service. She actually went on a number of tours of facilities in Stuart, but this is the one that she liked the best. It was just a very nice experience.

Symphony at Stuart is a fairly new place. I think it's only a couple of years old. It impressed me when we walked in. It was really spacious. Everything seems to be laid out really nice. They have a little bistro next to the dining room where people can come in, see the residents, and bring pizzas and stuff, which was nice. They have nice amenities. They have a really nice gym, beauty salon, and theater. They have more things for the residents to do. Everybody we talked to was really nice. We talked to a couple of the residents there, and they said it was really nice. They enjoyed living there. They have a nice piano in there and have music people singing three times a week. They have the usual games (like bingo and trivial jeopardy), which sounds nice. They have a nice movie theater and outside area for the residents to use. It was overall a nice facility. I think my mom is going to like Symphony at Stuart. They have some nice rooms.

The Symphony of Stuart didn't meet my needs. It was strictly assisted living, and mostly people were playing bingo. There weren't as many people around. I need a place where there's a lot of people around. I need a lively place. The people I spoke to, the people I met, and the gentleman who took me around were very, very friendly. It was very clean. The rooms weren't as large, and it wouldn't meet my needs. They have gardens.

The Symphony at Stuart was amazing. The lady who took us on the tour was knowledgeable -- like she knew every patient's name, and she knew everybody who was walking her way. The place was beautiful. If I were looking for a place right now for my uncle, I would definitely go with this one. We only went into the assisted living rooms because they would have had to do an assessment on my uncle first. Their memory care is closed because of the mental status of their patients, so they don't welcome bringing strangers in unannounced, which I totally understand. I was ready to move into their rooms because they're beautiful. Everything was brand new, and the room had hardwood floors, cherrywood cabinets, and granite countertops. It was wide and spacious, and it had everything that they needed to make the patients feel like they were in their own actual home. It did not look like an assisted living place at all. I have a copy of their menu, and the menu looks amazing.
