Independent Living Communities in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

"I'm moving into Elison Independent Living of Lake Worth. They have many services that I would be able to use. I would have a large one-bedroom apartment whereas where I'm living now, there is only one big hotel room. The living front living quarters are much, much bigger and nicer at Elison. I have tried their food, and it was excellent. There were many activities. The staff members were so nice. They couldn't have been nicer. They're very nice people. The place was beautiful. It's a very big, beautiful place. It was the only one I looked at, and I liked that so much that I didn't want to look at anything else."

"This facility is the best that you will find anywhere. Spacious apartments, huge walk in closets, three meals plus a pantry where you can avail yourself of a snack, a sandwich, fruit, and water. Many activities which include trips and lunch out on Fridays. Staff is exceptional. Always ready to assist you."

"My father has been at The Meridian at Lantana for two years. In that time, he has, on occasion, required additional, or special, attention. The staff at The Meridian have been responsive, compassionate, respectful and professional. It is so important for family members to know their loved one is being cared for. We appreciate the care he has received."

"I toured Vi at Lakeside Village. The food is good. It's not a gourmet French restaurant or anything like that. What happens when you come in, they make sure that you are introduced to all the other people that live there as well as the staff, so that when you come in, you don't sit by yourself, you don't eat by yourself, and everyone is around you. Everyone is friendly. I wouldn't be going in there if I didn't have everything. The staff is friendly and learns everyone's name so that when they see you in the hall, they will call you by your name. The staff was wonderful. It's not far from where I am living now."

"We toured Discovery Village At Boynton Beach. I liked the size of the apartment, the space, and the kitchen. We saw the dining room. The meals are important to me, but I still do my cooking. It is convenient because I travel a lot. My husband doesn't. So, it's great to know he has a place that fixes meals. I don't need it all, but he does, and just for my peace of mind, that met all my needs. It's nice to have the cleaning service, and I would still do my laundry, even though they have people who do it for you. There are still many things that I won't give up because I'm very physically capable of doing a lot of stuff, but when I'm not around, it's great to know it's there. They served lunch and dinner."

"I toured Windward Palms. They had lots of big common areas. They had a beautiful swimming pool. They were cleaning the dining room, but you could see how spacious the dining room was. I only looked at one bedroom because that would be what I would need. The first one looked a little more spacious than the empty one they showed me. It seemed odd, but it would be adequate for one person. The staff members who assisted me were very nice. There was an activity in the library area; there was a small group there. The place has a nice layout and nice grounds. It wasn't too far off the road, but you really can't hear any traffic noise inside. I saw one other resident on her own besides that group that was doing the activity. It was a lady who had come out to walk her little dog and so I like that they can have pets. The staff also told me that they have quite a few people who live there that go out to work every day. It was so clean and bright. Everything looked fresh. It looked like it was in perfect shape. They also have a party once a week like karaoke or disc jockey music. "

"Mom was at Brookdale West Boynton Beach and it was great there. We loved it. They were just so nice, but I think probably one of the best and the deciding factor was that they had a program to help you take out a loan against the house so that we had time to get mom's finances in order. They gave us the ability to help us pay while we had to sell her house for her to move in. She was in a studio apartment. It was adorable. It had two enormous closets, a private bathroom, and a pretty generous kitchen area, too. It was bigger than just a kitchenette. It was great and the people there were so nice. Another great thing is that they have a physical therapist that would do water aerobics with them and that was the only place that we found that had that. That was huge for us because she needed physical therapy. They had an outdoor pool for that. They also had an activities room and a small movie theater. It was great. There are tons and tons of activities. The meals were great. My mom loved them. It's like restaurant-style. They were accommodating. They even offered to give my mom a scooter. A resident has passed away and that resident had donated their scooter. They were just so helpful."

"Grand Villa of Boynton Beach was very cute and very charming. A little bit older, but they had a pool and one of those wheelchair assists to help people get into the pool, which was a big plus for us. They had a large studio that you could share with another person if you wanted to reduce the cost, which was a big deal for us as well. So, there were other options for pricing and ways to make it work, because in a lot of other places, there's no wiggle room, but in this case, they had two options, which we found helpful. Everyone was really happy there. I think that was even the place where some of our residents said that they loved it. They had a movie theater and a hair/nail salon."

"My neighbor will be moving into Addington Place of Stuart. If I could afford it, that's where I would go. It's like being on a cruise ship without the ocean. It's phenomenal. It has everything, and it's very luxurious. The little apartment that my neighbor got is quite large. It's a nice-sized apartment. It's got a bedroom. We just loved it. They had a movie theater and a beautiful dining room. They had lots to do and things to keep her busy. They have a beautiful, large library with a fireplace. They have a huge craft center where they do all different kinds of crafts. They do bingo and other games. They have lots of sitting areas throughout. They have a barbershop, a salon, a swimming pool with a spa, a pool table, a poker table, a little coffee shop, a bar, and a gym where they can exercise. It looks like a resort. My neighbor's apartment has a balcony. It is on the second floor, so she doesn't have to go all the way downstairs to go outside to get fresh air, which she really liked. The staff member was awesome, very thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. Everybody was friendly."

"We went and saw Grand Villa of Delray Beach East. We love it, but it's too expensive. We went over everything, then the staff showed us a studio and a one-bedroom. My husband loves it. The staff showed us everything. From what I saw, it was top notch, and my husband wanted to stay there, but we can't afford it. The staff member who gave the tour was an excellent woman. The room was clean, nice, and spacious. The dining room was nice. It had a white tablecloth. It's very clean."

"The rooms at The Pointe at Ocean Boulevard were very comfortable and spacious for one person. The staff was excellent. What I didn't like about the place is that the only entrance to the apartment is outside, and it was a long walk."

"Verena at Delray was very nice and clean-looking. The people were dressed nicely, and the apartments were nice, too. I don't have any negatives. My friends also like it. There was an apartment with a full kitchen. The staff was very nice. It is near Delray Medical Center, and they have a pool, too."

"I liked Brookdale Jensen Beach very much. I was planning on going there, but I decided I was going to stay home. The people who work there are very pleasant. Shereen was the one who took me around. The place was really nice. I liked everything about it. The apartments were bigger than I thought they were. They have a thing that you can pull in each room, and you can be wearing a pendant if you need help. The dining room looked nice. It's clean, comfortable, and friendly. Shereen was fantastic. It's three floors. I didn't realize that on my second trip, but there's an elevator that takes you downstairs, which is great. They have a room for veterans, which I am. So, that was nice. They play bingo and have a lot of amenities for the seniors who live there."
