Memory Care Communities in Deltona, FL

"Very friendly and receptive staff. Excellent ambiance. I was looking for a place for my mom, but after visiting for the day, I also wished I could move into this facility: excellent place"

"I liked Brookdale DeLand. I had an excellent tour experience, and it was very promising. The person I met with was very, very reassuring in every sense of the word. The staff was very friendly, very professional, and caring. The dining room was very nice, and I was impressed with how they would serve the food. Most special dietary needs would be addressed. They had a chef and the food was prepared in-house. They had exercise classes, and different things to keep people active and their minds active. Every other weekend, they have a nondenominational church service, which was very important for my mom and my aunt. I liked the fact that anyone that is able and wants to get out of the facility, will take them to activities in the community. Most recently, they took several residents on their bus to downtown DeLand to the dog parade. She assured me that I or family or friends could come any time and take them out to lunch or activities. They would take them to their doctor visits. We could use their in-house doctor or we could stay with their own doctors."

"Brookdale Lake Mary was our number one pretty much. They were the first facility we saw, and they were far and above the best, most affordable option. The room was very well-appointed. They range from kind of small to pretty large. Since we're trying to house two people together, we had to go for a fairly decent-sized room, but we did not pick the largest one. It had beautiful flooring. Everything was painted and well-maintained. It was very clean. The dining area was very large and looked like it could accommodate several dozen residents at one time. They had a beautiful and well-stocked library, a video library, and copious activities. They do something every day and every day it's something different. They've got bingo every day. One of the things that struck us about the whole thing was, we encountered many residents while we were touring and all of them were smiling and they were happy. They did not look like they were not having fun. They had some nice outdoor areas as well. The sales guy, Ray, was extremely cheerful, a lot of fun, poked some jokes, and seemed relaxed. He wasn't pushy, and pretty much kind of let us go at our own pace as we went through. He wasn't trying to rush us. He wasn't being insistent on showing us things that we didn't want to see. He kept us engaged and he engaged with all of the residents. He knew all the residents by name, which struck me. The nursing staff seemed very nice. There does not seem to be a lot of turnover. Pretty much everybody we talked to had been there for more than ten years. We toured the assisted living, but we kind of poked into the memory care. We saw the outside of the unit. We were assured that the units looked very similar to what we were already seeing, they're a little bit smaller and may share rooms with the residents. I don't have a problem with either one of those things."

"This community is by far the best in Volusia county! I looked at several other communities before choosing Addison & knew this was the best fit for my father after walking in the building. Unlike my other tours at other facilities, Marilyn & Jennifer treated me like a family member & not just a check they were trying to get. During the tour, Jennifer shared neat fun facts about some of the other residents. They had beautiful personal wreaths on all the doors. She KNEW her residents which impressed me considering she is the administrator over the entire building. They have the cutest facility dog amongst many other animal friends that visit from thier farm. Truly just an amazing location that takes the best care of my father."

"The staff is very good. The food is great, too. What I really like is that it has three separate buildings (one for independent, one for assisted living, and one for memory care). They're all separate. I'm in the independent living and it seems like a normal living process instead of being mixed together with all the others. Everybody is pretty good in this building. The rooms are very good and fairly spacious. I have a two-bedroom so that people can come and visit me. There are all sorts of activities here. They keep you busy. They have a small gym. I feel like I'm on a cruise; that's the atmosphere."

"We moved my father into the watermark 4 years ago, and as he put it he thought he had died and gone to heaven. He loves his spacious room with refrigerator and microwave for late night snacks. With his limited hearing capabilities he's not able to partake in a lot of the social gatherings with music and trivia, but loves and does not miss any bingo games. Charmaine is great making sure everyone is able to hear and see the numbers. He also is the first on the bus to any destination, grocery store, a lunch out, or field trip. Carlos will patiently load and unload them, guide them throughout there outting with such genuine care. A great staff that truly know him, and care for him. The dinning room is very plush, and has a great atmosphere. Kim the activities director is constantly coming up with new and enjoyable destinations, experiences, and quest. She really makes it a point to acknowledge the veterans here as well. If you stop by, he would love to tell you himself . Just ask for Lloyd, at 98 he's a firecracker."

"The Gallery at Port Orange was an excellent facility. It just opened, so obviously everything was new. There is really nothing I can say bad about the place. It's really a beautiful facility. The staff I met was very nice. They showed a suite, a two-bedroom, and a one-bedroom unit, and they were all excellent. We saw the exercise room, the two dining rooms they have, the study room, and the library. It is a new and beautifully designed place."

"The Cornerstone has a secured gate. The one thing that is lacking is transportation. I think they have one outing a week. They also have bingo. My brother has a nice room. I think it is well managed, but I think the manager is overwhelmed with responsibilities because she does everything. When she is not there, nobody else can do anything. She needs an assistant. "

"My mother has been placed at The Gardens of Eastbrooke. They're very one on one there. It's a locked-down facility for those with Alzheimer's and dementia. They have a lot of activities to keep the folks there and their minds busy, and keep them going. They treat her well there, they're very good. She likes the food, they have three square meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Her room is very clean, you bring your own furniture because they don't supply that. So you bring your own bed and so forth for your family member to make them feel at home more. They do things like word games, puzzles, and board games to keep them occupied and keep them thinking more, they also have TVs."

"My sister-in-law placed a deposit with Seagrass Village of Port Orange. It's close to me. The person who took us on the tour, Holly, was very informative. She even said that she does some decorating herself and she has helped several clients to go shopping for furniture there locally and help them decorate their apartments. She even said she would be available for my sister-in-law and that excited her. So she was very accommodating in that respect. I just like the fact that it was new and, well, within two years old. I like the fact that it had many restrooms, even just on the floors from different activity rooms. We met, I think, two or three of the people and talked with one at length. We saw her the next day when we went there, too, and we talked to her at length and she was quite pleased she had the tour guide to help her decorate her room. These people just were very positive. They looked like people that she would like to make as friends, and they were older, around her age, so these were all the positives as far as the people she met. We were visiting the spa areas, the activity rooms, where they play games, where they have racing or what, but there's some kind of a special room. Of course, there was also the fitness center and located very close to it was another nice restaurant. I do believe they have a pool, so that was a nice amenity for her. She would be glad to have a pool for exercising because she's had shoulder and knee replacements. And so aqua therapy would be good for her. And of course, the spa, like I said, was very, very nice. I believe there was a hair salon there as well. The eating areas were very nice, colorful, and cheerful."

"The Addison of Oviedo was very clean. We didn't get to go to the rooms because once we learned it was self-pay, it just wasn't going to work for us. The staff who gave the tour was very helpful and kind of told me what other places to look for and to make sure it's a facility that takes insurance and stuff like that, so she put me on the right road. We did look inside, and the entryway was very beautiful. It just wasn't going to fit our needs, but it's certainly a place I would like to go if I ever had to go."

" Beautiful community with professional and kind staff. My mother's care has been exceptional and her ability level has increased since she entered the Memory Care unit. The staff has been caring and positive across a wide range of measures. Anytime I bring an issue or concern to the Director or to the nurse it gets handled promptly. I would very much recommend. 5 stars hands down. "

"My husband was at Arden Courts at one time, and I thought it was really good. The actual surroundings and the building were nice, and the whole thing was run very well. They had a lot of activities, like exercise, entertainment, bingo, and other things. They had a nice, big backyard that they can walk in. I didn't have any complaints, but my husband broke his leg and had to be taken out and go to rehab. We are not taking him back because they do not allow rails on the beds. "

"Lexington Place was clean and very professional. They had a lot of amenities. They have a bus to bring their residents on trips. They also have a lot of activities. There wasn't anything I didn't like about it. They have a salon, a library, an ice cream shop, a craft room, a TV room, and a dining area. It smells very clean there."
