Independent Living Communities in West Palm Beach, FL

"Meridian At Lantana was a very nice facility. It was kept up nice. They offered me food, but I declined. It kind of reminds me of apartment complex. They have an over-55 community attached to the assisted living part. That is interesting, but it works for them. The tour was nice, and I really enjoyed that one. The staff members were pretty good. I like the layout of the facility and how they kept it organized and neat. I had an opportunity to talk to the chef and the food preparers. They gave me a good rundown on the menu, and they showed me the specialty foods and how they treat the residents there. I thought the customer service was really good."

"The gentleman who took us on the tour of Brookdale Palm Beach Gardens was very thorough in describing the services available, transportation, home help if necessary, and the ways to be transported. He was just very helpful. The library was beautiful. The dining room was beautiful. They had a nice therapy area and a workout area. The outdoor trails and pool area were beautiful. We were delayed a little bit because of another tour, but I know in that industry that's very, very common. That was the only complaint I have, and it was minutes, not hours. We were early, so it seemed longer. The dining room was very nice, very spacious, and very elegant."

"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."

"I really liked Grand Villa of Deerfield Beach. Their memory care facility seemed extremely nice as well. The staff was helpful. They have a well thought out program for caring for the seniors. The rooms were excellent. It was spotless. The dining area was very nice."

"We went to visit a former neighbor at the Christian Manor. My friend's room was nice, but furnished with his own furnishings. It had a nice layout. They have a good location as far as being close to entertainment, like the Travis Center and downtown West Palm Beach. "

"We have visited Traditions of the Palm Beaches. They offered CCRC. We had approximately 23 criteria by which we would evaluate the facilities. The Traditions met, if I remember correctly, 21 of those criteria. So, it was very much a front runner in our choice. The principal thing was that they had a kosher kitchen. They could accommodate a gluten free diet. They were pet friendly. They had a lovely physical facility. They had been very forthcoming with information. The apartments were very nice. They were adequate for their purpose, and they were located in a very nice physical facility. I found them relatively spacious and well-maintained. They had numerous activity programs. They had transportation to and from shopping and medical needs. They had on-site medical facility. They had a fitness center. "

"Beautiful community with water views but most of all the staff were amazing. They cared for my Aunt like she was their own family. Nursing and Administration were so attentive and reliable."

"I'm in Windsor Park Apartments. It's a 55+ community, and it's very nice. I met several people that are friendly. They speak to you. They say hi, and you say hi. Everybody talks to each other. They've been really nice. Landscaping is good. The amenities are clean. The apartment is like brand new with new carpet and new appliances. That's how new it is. There's a swimming pool, a tennis court, a weight room or gym, and a gathering place. I believe they pick your garbage up from your door if you set it out. There's an elevator. They have three floors per building. There's a space for a washer dryer, which is the vertical combo. The dryer is gas. The stove is gas and some of the hot water heaters are still gas. You do not get the washer dryer unless you choose to pay $50 a month for having that convenience in your apartment. If you don't choose to have that, there is a laundry room onsite that you can do your laundry. If you want to have it in your apartment, there's an extra fee. That's the only quirky thing that I have found so far about them. A nurse comes one day a week. If you need your blood pressure checked or whatever you need one day a week, you can see a nurse. There is a food bank, and there are hot meals available. All I have to do is go over to the community room and sign up with them, and they'll give me hot meals for free. Laundry facilities are available or for an additional fee, you can have your washer and dryer in your apartment. There are no organized activities. The tenants seem to do that on their own like normal people outside. They have not started putting that back together yet where they have a bunch of people in the room that are playing cards. Right now, there are no organized events because of COVID. Most of the apartments that I looked at, the money was about the same. I think that I hit the jackpot here. The value is good. I got a brand new apartment. If I had the money, I was expected to pay more for the apartment because of how nice and clean and new it is. It's worth more than that, but because it is a restricted income complex, they can't charge you more."
