Memory Care Communities in Melbourne, FL

"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."

"I toured Palm Cottages. They were very nice people. They're just as good as the other facility, but they're not quite as close to me here. Other than that, they're about the same. The facilities were very clean. They had dedicated people for each little cottage. The staff members were great. They had a lot of activities going on."

"We toured Alura Senior Living. There were a lot of things I liked about it. It's newer. It was built in 2021. It is very fresh. I liked the wider halls, which were bright. The artwork was bright. I like the layout of the rooms, particularly the room with the balcony. It laid out well for my stepmom's needs. Something else that I like a lot is in their dining hall. They do not have assigned seats, which is good if you want to go and meet other people in the dining environment. I also like how they do their dining. They have set times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they also have times that you can come down at any time and select from a different part of the menu so that you can eat on your schedule, not necessarily the facility's strict schedule. So, I like that flexibility. The staff was very pleasant and engaging. They liked working there. You could tell it from their demeanor and expressions, and you could tell in their eyes that they enjoyed it. So, everything with the staff was very, very good. They have a central courtyard with a pool with waterfalls with koi fish. They have some raised gardening plots for the residents to use either for flowers or vegetables, so the facility itself offers a lot. The overall atmosphere was certainly inviting. Everything was bright and cheery."

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

"The Promenade was very nice and very clean, and the people were friendly. It was a nice tour, but it was overpriced for me. The place is only four or five years old. They had a salon and a little courtyard. The staff during the tour was very good, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The place was fairly new. Everything was in good shape. They got a nurse there. It seemed like they took very good care of the people that were there. I got to see other residents, not from the memory care unit, but residents who could get in and out around the grounds and stuff."

"We decided on Discovery Village. It seemed to have all the amenities important to me, the price was in line, the food was good, and I liked it. They have a gym, a swimming pool, a beauty parlor, a doctor that comes in, and arts and crafts."

"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."

"Good care, staff work hard for cleanliness, therapy was great,"

"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."

"My son has moved into YourLife of West Melbourne, a memory care facility. The first thing we noticed at the place is the cleanliness and the friendliness of it. Everybody met us with a smile. We've had him in three other places before moving here, and they did nothing for him. In just two weeks, the people here have done more for him than anybody else has done in a month. He is better taken care of and happier. They can assist the patients and treat them as necessary. They are specifically trained to take care of the needs of the people with all kinds of memory problems, whether they just sit down and quiet or those who are active. They're wonderful. They have a fitness room and a list of activities they do all day. They also take some time to take the patients out for a walk or to a restaurant. They have special days when you can come in with your patient and have a meal. They have a treadmill, and they do physical therapy. They have music, singing, and play games outside. They even have a little miniature golf course that they play on. The rooms are cleaned every single day. They have people who clean the floors and are always there to make sure everything is up and running. They also have tablecloths on the tables, which makes them feel more homey."
