The Brennity at Vero Beach is upscale and it's pricy. It's top-of-the-line. They've also got unassisted living there, so wealthy people come down in the winter and stay there and they get golf privileges. It's a nice golf course. It's a fancy place. These people all do a wonderful job. They know what they're doing. They're professional. The restaurant had gourmet meals. When I was there, they had grilled salmon and tenderloin steak for that night. Everything was top shelf.

My mother-in-law will be moving into The Brennity at Vero Beach. The whole place was very beautiful. We were surprised to find how affordable they were compared to other places. The 1-bedroom apartment was just beautiful. It had a washer and dryer in the room. Just in general, the views from the windows of wooded areas were very comforting and very beautiful, and that's probably the best part. They had a lot of activities. They had an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. They had walking areas. They had a living room across the hall with a fireplace and sofas, and it was really pretty. And then up right across the hall, they had a huge library. They had a game room and they had people in there playing cards. They had an exercise room, and they also had a pub there. They had lunch for us. We tried a little bit of everything, and the food tasted really good. The dining area was set up very nicely with linen tablecloths. It was like you were going to a nice restaurant. In the afternoon, they had freshly baked cookies. And at any time, they could go and just have a cup of coffee and sit down. They could get a glass of tea and go sit in the living room or go into the library and read a book. The young gentleman who toured us spent the whole time with us. He was not in any hurry. He answered any question we had, no matter how big or how small or how many times. He was very patient and very nice. The lady at the front desk was very nice. The staff in the dining room was very nice, too.

We toured The Brennity at Vero Beach. Everything was nice. The room was excellent, and the layout was excellent. It was a two-bedroom apartment. They invited us to have a meal, but we haven't taken that yet. They had a swimming pool. bocci, a whole variety. The staff was very friendly. Everything looked fine.

We visited the Brennity at Vero Beach, it was very nice. We're on the younger side of aging and it seems like they have things we can do like various outings and activities. The cottage that we visited was very nice, and even the apartment was nice as well. They also have a golf club membership, and some people might find that attractive. The staff member who gave the tour went out of her way to help. We were on a boat and didn't have transportation, but she helped us with that, from the marina until we got there. She was very personable and showed us quite a bit.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was a nice place, but it's not something I would want to move into. It was just a feeling that I had there that wasn't for me. It was kind of boring. It wasn't exciting. The only staff I met with was the person who took me on the tour. There was not that much interaction with any of the employees. I was there for an hour, so I didn't see everything. They have transportation to take the people to places they want to go. Everything they tell you in their brochure, they have. They've got good food. The condition of the place was very good. It's very clean. It didn't smell. It was kept well.

I liked The Brennity at Vero Beach. The person who showed me around seemed very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and told me about the food and the cost, which is what I wanted to know. One of the reasons why I checked there was because I know of someone who is there now and he's very pleased with it. I thought that was a good recommendation. I was very pleased. The staff was delightful. I can't say I saw everything, but it certainly looked satisfactory. The chef gave me a little sweet to take home with me in a box.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was great. They were very helpful. We didn't do a walk-through because we were familiar with the facility already. So it was just a matter of sitting down and going over what was available, what the costs were, and what my mother needed and didn't need. The staff were wonderful. They're very informative and very friendly. The whole experience was great. We have friends that live there, too. The two bedrooms are very clean and spacious, and the one bedrooms are very adequate. Some have furniture, some are not furnished. All in all, it is a very, very nice facility. There are a lot of activities for people to do. The dining area is very nice. They have a lot of games and places where people can work out and do physical activity as well. They have a little hair salon, too.

We looked at The Brennity at Vero Beach and my friend liked it. The whole facility was very nice. It was very friendly. The people that live there seemed to be happy. We had lunch there and the food was good. The cottages were nicer than the apartment just because the apartments seemed to be a little bit more dated. They had swimming pools, a salon, a gym where you can do yoga, craft rooms, a meeting room, and a beautiful library. The library was inviting and comfortable. They had a nurse that's there Monday through Friday.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was really nice and very clean. It's a bigger facility so they have a lot of amenities. The apartments include a little refrigerator and a microwave, while the rest, you could bring in your own. They have a nice outside space. They have an indoor pool and a courtyard. The lady that gave the tour was very knowledgeable. They said that they were going to be painting one of the rooms when a resident had just left.

We toured The Brennity at Vero Beach. We visited all levels of care. We went through all of them, and they were all great. They were all very good. There were a lot of activities for the residents. They were being monitored in the areas that needed more assistance. They were very good and very attentive to the residents. They showed the different types of model rooms. They were clean, and there was more than enough room in there. Some of the units had a kitchen area that the residents could use. They had refrigerators if you wanted something to keep cold beverages. They tried to accommodate all the residents there. They have Wii bowling for them. They have an indoor pool that's heated. They have an exercise class. Their groups were encouraged to do these activities. You weren't seeing people just sitting around in their chairs. There's active participation in the activities. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating in trying to find what was best for what we needed for my husband.

The Brennity at Vero Beach is fantastic and super accommodating. They were able to get my dad in quickly and offered him a couple of options. They were just amazing. It's a wonderful place. It's super clean. The staff is super friendly as well as the residents. We couldn't have asked for anything better. His room is spacious with lots of windows and lots of light. It's impeccably clean. I liked that it has all the appliances he needs, including a microwave and a washer-dryer right in the unit (which are all managed by the facility). If something breaks, they take care of it. When he moved in, they put on a fresh coat of paint and brand new carpeting. Everything's included, like all utilities (except for Wi-Fi). They have a ton of activities for all levels of people, especially exercise classes (depending on how active someone is). They have someone who works in the gym that can help them figure out what activity level they are or what classes they like. My dad had been exercising for a couple of months because he had some physical issues and she suggested one class that might be better for him. They also have indoor and outdoor pools. He said he loves the meals there and that they're fantastic.

We chose The Brennity at Vero Beach for dad. It was just a nice facility, and the people were friendly. The staff was friendly. The food was good. It was just decorated nicely and appeared to be very clean and well-managed. The staff was very pleasant, very informative, and was able to answer all our questions. The food was presented nicely and tasted very good. They have independent living, and then they have stepped up care when needed. They have alot of entertainment. They were buses for the people living there to take them to doctors. They just offered a lot of different services and activities.

Touring The Brennity at Vero Beach independent living was a very good experience. We learned a lot and the staff made us feel very comfortable. We spoke with somebody by the name of Cindy, she's one of the managers. I can't say enough about the comfort level of talking with her. She made you feel like she was part of your family. We sat down in a living room area when we walked in, and she just sat back comfortably and started talking to us and we asked questions. We just felt so like she was so honest with her answers. They just flowed. Of course, it's a little more expensive there, so that can probably answer why their attentiveness is so good. The difference between what we were looking for here versus the other facility we visited was about $800 more a month. I did like the fact that all rooms were the same price, regardless of where they were located. They have a 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and then they have cottages, which we didn't see because we knew we couldn't afford those, but they looked lovely. The place was lovely as we walked in. One of the advantages there are too is that the concierge is 24/7. The other place is only up to maybe 10 o'clock at night. That was one drawback. The facility was very nice, the location was great and it's easy to access for us. Parking isn't the best for those coming to visit, but for the residents, they can have vehicles. That was nice, even though my parents don't have one, that they have that ability. There are a lot of dark wood rails along the corridors, which are nice big corridors, and they have beautiful heavy wood rails so it's very elegant looking. We saw their menu, and their menu was just wonderful. However, they only provide two meals and snacks a day. You get to pick your lunch or dinner as your second meal but you can't have both. They have full kitchens though. The staff said the residents get a pretty good-sized meal that a lot of them take back to their rooms. They have both an indoor and outdoor pool, an exercise room, and arts and crafts. They've got people there like instructors and medical staff.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was very nice, it would be my second choice. It was not as good as the other place I toured. The person showing me around was good and there are plenty of volunteers to keep the people busy. The rooms have a microwave, stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. Their rooms look the same as the other place I saw and they also had two pools.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was my #1 favorite. We loved it. It's inside a gated community, which my mother would just love. They had very nice sized, intelligently laid out apartments. They included a laundry room off the kitchen, which was brilliant. The closets were huge. They had amazing library catalogs. They had two pools: one indoors and one outdoors. Both pools had chair lifts, and water is the best possible way to exercise without any impact on the body. It's really, really nice. The salon looked like a salon, and that's important to my mother. They were having a convention kind of thing going on in the hallways with all of the different service options and different kinds of health insurance people there just for the residents. It was busy, but we got to walk through that; everyone talked to us. They had independent townhouses. It goes through all stages. It's very, very classy. Everyone was so nice and funny. It's stunning. They have perfect activities. They had games, a theater and a happy hour. There's a private dining room that the family can all gather and have dinner. Besides the organized trips, they also take them to their doctors' appointments.

I'm living in The Brennity at Vero Beach. It's very nice. I've been here three years. We have two swimming pools, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a putting green, and a golf course. You can play golf, bingo, bridge, they have movies, a happy hour, and they take very good care of you. They also have assisted living and memory care, but I find the assisted living too small for me at the moment. I have a two-bedroom two-bathroom house with a garage. It's very nice and comfortable.

We visited The Brennity at Vero Beach for my brother and it is a very nice place if you're looking for independent living, but in assisted living. I just don't like the idea of moving into a very small room. The assisted living room is tiny. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. It looks a little more upscale and nicer in appearance from the outside than the other facility we checked. It was good for independent living, but extremely small for assisted living. The assisted living space or accommodation reminded me of a nursing home.

I went to The Brennity at Vero Beach in person. It was an attractive facility, but the person who was assigned to me was uncooperative and not very nice. I saw them playing bridge; that's the only activity that I saw. The rooms were nice and clean, but I wouldn't say they were homey. They need to provide more activities and the person assigned to show you around or sell to you has to be more helpful and more cooperative.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was very nice, but expensive. I toured both their assisted living and memory care. The staff members were very nice people. It's beautiful and very well kept. When I called them, they told me that they had a room in their memory care, which was what I needed most at that time, but when I got there they told me they didn't have any beds in the memory care. That turned me off right away because my dad needed it right away. I toured the facility but they wasted my time because they didn't have a bed available in their memory care. The room was very nice and very large. It had a full size bedroom, a full size living room, a small kitchenette, and a bathroom, which was very nice. I would live there; it was very nice. The place was very beautiful and very nice. The staff member who accommodated me was very nice. The dining area was like a restaurant. She showed me a menu, which was nice. I wouldn't say it's gourmet, but it was good and nice. The place was very well kept.

The rooms were cheerful, the staff was very helpful, it was very clean, and everybody was very nice. The dining area was excellent, very large, it had a nice menu that people could choose from, and everybody was engaged in the activity; I think it was Trivia. The atmosphere was very comfortable, relaxed, everybody seemed very happy, engaged, and the people talking. It was more upbeat. They had memory care, a library, and an activities room.

I visited the Brennity at Vero Beach. They’re very personable, very caring, and quite innovative. They have a new program starting and it fits my husband’s needs quite well. They had a program called "secured assisted living", where people who could function more than most memory care patients, but needed a lot more attention than plain memory care, and that was appealing to me. The staff was delightful, they’re very welcoming, very affable, and very nice. They took my husband for a walk. The rooms were good size, for what he was getting, and in the assisted living they had a mini-refrigerator, and microwave. The rooms were well-appointed. They had exercise room, pools, and a putting green.

Brennity is all excellent promise and little to bad delivery. The buildings are charming and the apartments are roomy, sunny, and have good amenities. The grounds are fenced (but the security gates don't work most of the time.) Landscaping is done regularly. Besides the outdoor heated pool, Brennity has the only indoor heated pool anywhere I know of (but the spots of mold and rust haven't been cleaned walls in the year I've been here.) I finally realized that very few problems get fixed here. The director is nice but senior management appears oblivious to anything except saving money. There is a huge turnover of staff here. The food is pretty to look at but pretty awful to taste. The wait times to get food can take as much as an hour but they rarely hire more wait staff or solve the problems in the kitchen. Many comment that the wait staff has an attitude. Transportation is very good, the maintenance staff cares but work on the property is lacking and very, very, very slow. For instance, there are halls with no AC, many locks don't work, etc. Housekeeping is ok but not great generally. Activities are plentiful though the movie set up is too poor to be usable. When I came, my expectations were that it was a wonderful place to be, but polite requests have not brought needed changes. I think I will leave.

Nice residents and staff but service has been deteriorating. Staff leaving or fired and not replaced. Weekly cleaning ok, monthly not done. Chef is great but less variety and out of some items. Servers are very nice but orders are sometimes lost in kitchen, one person at table left waiting while others are almost finished.

I was very impressed with The Brennity at Vero Beach. If I were to go somewhere, this is where I would go. The apartments were beautiful, the individual homes were gorgeous, and they have memory care. They have a ton of activities. There are so many things that you couldn't possibly do them all. The grounds were gorgeous. They have a pool, an exercise room, and game rooms. It's beautifully decorated, and the dining room was exquisite. I didn't eat there, but the food looked delicious, and it smelled good. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. It's outstanding.

My husband had stayed at The Brennity at Vero Beach for about three months. I was also there for a full month with him. It was an extremely large complex and it had different areas for different kinds of people. My husband was able to have his own apartment there. He had one meal a day. They had a beautiful dining room and we had dinner, but were on your own for breakfast and lunch. They had a library and a large pool. There was another section where people actually had homes. There was like a little village for people who actually had the money to pay for that. They had their own home. There was another section where people needed a lot of help and for people who really needed care.

The Brennity at Vero Beach was very nice. It's just that money is the problem, and we're not quite ready yet. They answered any question we asked them, gave us lunch and a tour, and were very friendly. The rooms were very nice and big enough. The dining area was nice. too. We had a very nice lunch, and the food was good. They have activities, but I think most of them end around six, so there's not much going on at night down there, as I recall.

My parents moved into The Brennity, and it is fine. The rooms were gorgeous and taken care of by cleaning people coming, which is very nice. They have a lot of activities and opportunities, but my parents are not taking advantage of them, so I am not happy. I like the formality of the dining room, the size of the rooms, and the fact that it was clean and new.

I am not happy with the Brennity at Vero Beach. It is just not well-run or organized. They don't use RNs, there are no doctors there, and it is just not a good place. The assisted living is probably okay, but the memory area is very poorly run and I am probably going to move him out of there. It might be okay for a little old lady who can walk around by herself, but the man I put in there cannot. He cannot get up by himself, he has to sit in a wheelchair all day, and he is paralyzed on the left side. So they can't get him up unless there are two of them there, and two of them can't usually do it. They don't want to do it and it is uncomfortable for him. They are not interested in his care; they are more interested in what is easy for them, and what the best is for them. I had that argument with them a few times already, and he has been in the hospital twice after not having been in the hospital for years and years. They don't want to treat him there, they just send him off to the hospital, and the food is unappetizing. We got a phone in the room, and then they changed the number of the phone, so that we could not get a hold of him. It has just been a horror there. They are pretty new and I think they just don't know what they are doing. I do not think that their nurses are qualified. I don't know if they are LPNs or what, I just think they are not qualified to take care of people, and the reason is they try to save money by hiring people that are not registered nurses, so then they have her doing the same kind of work that a registered nurse should be doing. He is a diabetic -- he needs insulin shots -- and they don't know how to do it. So that is really scary and I wrote them a letter and told them that I am afraid to leave him there alone at night with some of these people who have very little ability or concern or compassion for his well-being, and that is really how I feel. The other problem is I have caregivers that go there and stay with him because I was afraid, right from the beginning. He has a lot of things wrong with him though, and they just can't do it. The Brennity is a beautiful place, but it is very new, and things are always breaking there like they had a phone hooked up and then they changed the number, the doorbell doesn't ring, and there is just a whole bunch of problems.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I am living in The Brennity and it's fantastic. I have my own private apartment. I choose a one-bedroom rather than a two-bedroom because the two- bedroom is too big. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and good. The food is very good. I like that it has a pool. I participate in yoga, card games and bingo.

I visited this facility

The Brennity at Vero Beach is a lovely facility with beautiful grounds. It's pretty well maintained. The dining room looked pretty nice. Overall, the facility looked very upscale. What I didn’t like about this place is that, when I checked on the facility very early in the morning, like 6 am, there was absolutely nobody there. It's supposed to be 24/7 manning at the concierge desk. My concern is that my brother needs 24/7 care, and I think they can't provide that. Other than that, it’s a lovely facility. The staff are lovely and terrific. They went above and beyond trying to get us the help we needed, and I appreciated that, really.

We appreciate your feedback and apologize that our concierge was not at the front desk when you visited. We have one concierge on site daily from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., and they typically make rounds of the community throughout the night. Our Assisted Living and Memory Care communities also have care associates available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond to resident needs.

My sisiters & I looked extensively for a comfortable place fo my father. The Brennity was by far the nicest place that we visited as well as the best floor plans. Nursing care and staff are wonderful, very attentive at the start and that continues. Dad has resided there for over a year and everything is consistently above our hopes. Plenty of activities and the physical therapy on premises is fantastic. Highly recommend

We visited Brennity Vero and spent two nights there. It was very nice. The food was good. The place was very clean. The people there were very friendly. I picked this place for myself and my wife. We will be moving in at the end of January.

I like Brennity. It was good. I've been there a couple of times. We like several things about it. They did have a lot to offer. In fact, they have independent living, assisted living, and memory care. My husband does have very mild dementia and that's the reason that we're considering going into a retirement place. The people at Brennity were very nice. We had a meal there and it was a meal for a large group of people but it was very good. We did look at one apartment and it was lovely; however, we're more interested in cottages or independent villas. My other hesitation there was that they haven't been here really long and I don't want to have to move more than once. Also we didn't like as much the location of this facility.

I visited this facility

Both my Husband and I have started to visit Senior Care Facilities that provide the following; Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. Of the dozen that we visited, we found that The Brennity of Vero was the first on our list to really consider. We liked the Cottages that we viewed, cute, comfortable, convenient and properly sized for two Seniors. They also supply a Gulf Cart for each Cottage's occupants to use in getting around in the facilities location. We met with two of the Marketing Representative the day we visited, Terri & Megan, and both ladies were very knowledgeable and there was also a young man that accompanied both ladies that was in training, he was actually part of the Restaurant Crew. We viewed several Cottages as well as apartments, each floor plan was as nice the previous viewed. The buy-in was a lot less then most other facilities, with a decent amount of return upon leaving the location, whenever that would be. The activities for all those living either in the Cottages or inside the building were quite full, and the one item that made a big impression on us was the fact that there is a inside pool, salted and heated. This was perfect and great to know in case of bad weather or not wanting to be out in the hot sun and still wanting to do some water aerobics. I, personally liked that the very best. We viewed all the activity rooms and then we headed for the Restaurant for a delicious lunch. All in all, we both liked this facility very much and plan on visiting again and after an up and coming long get-a-way, we will be visiting the Brennity of Vero to make further plans to become an Independent Resident of their facility. We would definitely give this facility, The Brennity of Vero, a 10 Star Mark. All the Staff that we did meet and some of the Residents, were friendly and seemed to be happy either living there or as in some of the Staff we did see, liked their positions and the facility. No crabby faces or attitudes. We did witness a gentleman slip off his walker, and within seconds there were several employees and a Therapist there to help him get up and attended his needs. Like I mentioned, we are definitely considering this facility to make our move into.

My grandma, who lost her husband to cancer about 8 months ago, just recently sold her gorgeous house sitting on 16 acres about 2 weeks ago. She had been looking at retirement communities and assisted living residencies for a couple months and was torn between Oak Harbor and The Lakes at Point West. Oak harbor, dubbed "croak harbor", was a more up-scale community that included an exclusive beach club membership, golf membership, fine dining, and exquisite homes. It was much larger and far more luxurious community than The Lakes at Point West. However, it was incredibly expensive. The Lakes at Point West offered my grandma a much more affordable atmosphere and the staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. They supplied five men and two moving trucks to haul all her belongings to her new place, they prepared a five star meal and delivered it to her new home on the same day and even supplied cups and silverware. Even though it is a small community, there are many things that the place has going for it : the residents are welcoming, the staff is great, the facilities are close by, and its financially affordable. One thing is certain- though it has been tough for my grandma these past few months, the transition to her new home has been a smooth one thanks to those at The Lakes of Point West!
