The Best Memory Care Communities in Brevard County, FL

"The thought of moving from Assisted LIving to Memory Care was daunting. However we could not have made a better choice. Alura and its staff provide a safe and secure environment for our loved one and offer amazing activities to engage them in fun, entertaining and enriching events. A recent planned afternoon visit by a hired Elvis impersonator had the entire unit hooting and clapping to the music. It was unbelievable how alive the residents in memory care became the moment the entertainer stepped in. Memory issues? Not that day, everyone was signing the words, lots of dancing (wheel chairs and all) and even a peanut butter and banana sandwich snack. Kudos to Mary and her team for putting this together and for making a very MEMORABLE experience for the residents and their families."

"I toured Century Oaks. The staff there were very efficient. They were undergoing a lot of changes when I looked at the place, but I loved their larger apartments. It's beautiful, and their rates were lower, and they were closer to $3,000. A washer and dryer, a stove, a refrigerator, and a microwave were all supplied. The one thing that held me back was that I didn't see many residents. They just seemed to whiz by, no smiles, nothing, just on their motor scooters. You could tell they were semi-independent, at least. The cafeteria is large."

"My parents moved into A Place Like Home. It's just a small facility and they're sharing a room in the facility. It seemed like the administrative staff was very caring and interested in trying to make the transition as smooth as possible. It's just a large, single-family home that has been converted into an assisted living facility. They've got four to six rooms, I'm not sure how big it was. It was very clean when I was there. They were very caring. The staff was going to try to have an outing with my father. I had spoken to the administrator about it as well, and they were going to try to get him out. The administrator worked with me on the monthly fee and we were able to come to an amicable conclusion on that, which I felt was very fair. It's not a large facility. So what they do is they bring in folks on a staggered basis to do certain things, like from what my understanding was, there will be a doctor on-site once, once every three weeks. There will be a nurse on-site once every three weeks. They have beauty care type things, for haircuts and things like that once every couple of weeks, so they're bringing people in to do the services as opposed to having somebody on site all the time because it's not a large facility."

"My brother was at Palm Bay Memory Care for respite and he liked it there. I would go and visit them and maybe take them out for lunch or something. They were very attentive. Everybody was very good. All the nurses right away answered my questions or whatever. Meghan, she was great. She sold me on the whole idea of just doing the respite and it worked out perfectly. All the staff was nice. They have long hallways and wrap around so they can get around in a circle kind of and then there's a thing in the middle where they can go out in and out as you please. So they could go out and sit at a gazebo or take a walk in the garden, and they're safe to do that. The rooms are very nice. They have movies every night. My brother said most of the time the food was good, but there were days or sometimes he didn't care for it."

"I checked out both independent and assisted living at Grand Villa of Palm Bay. What we drove up there certainly was beautiful to look at. It would be a very nice home to come to, to live. It looked very upper class. It looked very clean. It is right on the water, which makes it very pristine also. The grounds and everything outside were immaculate. When I came in I met the lady at the desk. My daughter was with me. She verified our appointment. We met the young lady that was taking us on the tour, and we went to lunch first. There was nothing special prepared for us. We were given the same menu that everybody else had, which was their daily menu and also whatever the special of the day was at lunchtime. My daughter had the special, and I chose just something off of the regular menu. I was very satisfied. The food quality was excellent. The portions and everything were really appropriate. They didn't overfeed you, and they certainly didn't starve you. The staff was extremely accommodating. I enjoyed them very much."

"Beloved senior living was the right choice for my mother. The best of care you could ask for to care of your loved ones."

"My mom will be moving into Chateau Madeleine. For memory care, there are 11 beds on the first floor and 11 beds on the second floor. I like very much that the rooms can be personalized to whatever the resident is comfortable with. You provide your own furniture, so you could make it your own to match your own personality. It doesn't look like a hospital or a nursing home. It looks very homelike. The staff was very friendly. I was introduced to the night nurse. She was very patient and answered every question that I had. I was allowed to speak to the residents on my tours. Some of them were very friendly, and some of them were very shy. I love that the residents are only in their beds at night. They keep them busy and visually stimulated. They play calming music in the background so that all their senses are stimulated. They eat all together in their own dining room. Memory care has a separate dining room as opposed to assisted living. It was a very small group. It seemed like this was such a very calm and warm atmosphere. I also love that they had an enclosed courtyard that had a covered area so they wouldn't be out in the sun. But if they wanted to go for a walk in the sunshine, they had that opportunity. They take them on outings as well. They have specialized vans, and they'll go to a restaurant or to a shop or take them to the beach with enough supervising staff that there's no danger whatsoever to the residents. I met four staff members all together in different capacities. I met the nurse, the director, the receptionist, and one of the CNAs who helps the residents during meal times."

"Discovery Village had both assisted living and memory care. It was a delightful, beautiful place. The people were friendly, and the residents were very happy. They had a new director, and it looks like it's going great. I went through the memory care, and the people looked in better shape."

"Transitioning my mother to memory care from ALF was a powerful act of love and uncertainty It’s about ensuring that my mom was surrounded by compassion, patience, and the kind of care that helps them live with dignity and grace, even as dementia progresses that's why we chose Market St their highly trained staff is wonderful with mom and my family Our thanks to James, Talia, Keith all the nurses, TJ and Christine / A Granddaughter's Promise CEO - who first introduced us to this great Memory Care facility. Mom moved in this past week and thus far she's adjusting well with their wonderful care and supervision. Thank you"

"Victoria Landing was a very good community. It overlooked the river, and it was well kept. I saw the living quarters, the restaurant, the dining-room area, a place where you could work out, a beauty shop, and an outside pool. The only issue was their units were very small. The menu looked great, though."

"Sonata East at Viera has a beautiful environment for their memory care residents. It's a new facility. It's very modern, very clean, very open, and airy with very light colors. They have large windows in their rooms. My mother has her own restroom and she gets all her meals there. They are restaurant-style and are very good upgraded meals. There are a lot of activities and that's what my mother likes the most there. They have a variety of things from music and trivia, to exercising. They also have a beautiful garden. Then on occasion, they'll have outings. They have been assisted by a family member and they go to places like the zoo, and a restaurant. I think they even went to a play once. I can just call my mother and talk to her. The nurses take good care of them."

"The tour was very good. They have a swimming pool, and it looks like it's user-friendly with handicapped people because they're redoing it with the ramp. They have a wheelchair that would go down that ramp. I think for people in Florida who like water and being outside, that was very good. They also have a little small smoking area outside. The staff was very good, too. The building looked very clean, and they had ice cream day. The only thing I didn't care about was that the rooms were upstairs, and you had to use an elevator most of the time. So that's the only downfall with that one. It was clean but the accessibility I didn't care for. When I stepped in, it felt OK."

"Hibiscus Court was very clean. It was close to home (to where my friend was already living), and all the staff members were excellent. They've answered all our questions, helped us with paperwork, and helped us with everything. They will accommodate my friend with everything once he's there. They have a salon, they do your laundry, they take them on little field trips to the store, and they have in-house doctors."
