Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay

Such a warm place, and I mean southern hospitality!! We toured and stayed for lunch...the Administrator even spent time with us!! Kim was friendly, informative, and clearly loves her residents. Staff are compassionate and kind, appeared to care a great deal. Such a happy visit, Dad moves in next month!!!! Need a more obvious, accessible smoking area.

The rooms are spacious and well designed. Although they made the mistake of installing direct T.V vs a cable program. The staff is attentive and empathetic to the residents. There are many and varied activities to choose from,something for everyone! The facility itself is kept very clean and appealing. There is one MAJOR blemish that the owners fail to recognize and amend. The food at this facility is horrendous . Chef Dino is even worse than The first Chef. He uses average quality food, is constantly running out of products,i.e. Ketchup,lemonade,bacon..to name a few and the food is prepared so poorly it is constantly being sent back to the kitchen ,hence. Tremendous waste. Management has been notified of this issue and has yet to remedy the situation . I find it very unfortunate that food preparation should put such a blemish on this beautiful facility. I have been present to experience this first hand and am very discouraged that nothing has changed.

Tuscan Gardens of Venetia Bay is brand new and a much smaller development which is nice. They have a communal dining room, and they have food available 24 hours. They have 3 set eating times, but if you wanted a snack, there's always food around. It's a beautiful facility, and it's in a beautiful location except that it's on a busy street. They have a communal outdoor space, but the apartment has no patio. The staff was wonderful, but there was hardly any people moving around. There's a hotel, restaurants, and good shopping nearby.

Tuscan Gardens was my favorite of all the facilities that I looked at. It fit my needs the best. There was no perfect place. Every place had its pros and cons. This had more pros from the physical stability stand point, but there were some cons as well. The staff was incredible. They were very compassionate and kind. They were very caring individuals. They were very welcoming, which was huge when looking at this style of living. They were very positive. It had a homey atmosphere. Their apartments came in a variety of sizes. However, they were so incredibly well laid out that they appeared spacious. They thought of everything when it came to accessibility for the handicapped. The apartments were really nice. The square footage was not large, but the way they had designed it, they appeared very spacious. It was not a waste of space. I would absolutely recommend it to other families.
