Memory Care Communities in Vero Beach, FL

"My mother-in-law is a resident of The Manor of Fort Pierce, and we love everything there. It's beautiful. It has a beautiful bathroom and closet space. It's a brand-new facility. The living space is amazing. Everything is very clean. The CNAs are wonderful. The owner is great. The director is great. They've been amazing. I recommend anybody to put their loved one there. I have lunch with my mother-in-law every Sunday, and the food looks great. They feed them an amazing variety. They have great activities. They play bingo. We bought them a karaoke machine for the activity room. At Christmas time, they bought all the residents matching pajamas and hats, and they had a snow machine and a beautiful Christmas tree. They're amazing."

"The first facility I've visited was Palms at St. Lucie West. They treated me very nicely, and their presentation was excellent. And what I like about this place is that it's very small. They have a lot of activities going on. There was music coming in. They play bingo. There's always food available. I was able to speak to the chef, and their food is of very high quality. It was excellent. "

"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 Brennity at Tradition was my favorite. Very beautiful facility with lovely cottage type houses, the food was excellent, and the people were very friendly and willing to help you with any question you had and explained the facility very well. If anybody wants to go into a facility, this is probably the topnotch. They had nice activities. They had 2 beautiful pools and a nice gym; they had a lot of different variety of facilities. It was just a very nice place. "

"It was a nice and clean facility. However, the size of the units were too small for me. The biggest they had was a one-bedroom. I needed a one-bedroom with a den or a two-bedroom. The lowest unit they had was on the second floor, which will not work for me. They didn't have meals."

"My aunt is currently at Senior Paradise ALF. The community is beautiful, well-kept, and very clean. It's in immaculate condition. The staff are excellent. They're both very caring and very nurturing. They take them shopping and if they need to go anywhere. The dining area is very small, it's like a private house. So, it's a very homey atmosphere that you get. The dining area is very clean and family-oriented. My aunt is a vegetarian, so they make her special food."

"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."

"My dad is now in Horizon Bay Vero Beach and he is very happy and comfortable there. They take very good care of him and we are very pleased. Their personnel are very considerate and caring. They have great activities and they are getting my dad involved. I would recommend them to somebody else. "

"What I like about it for my dad is the attention given by the staff to the residents. I like the overall appearance and the cleanliness of the place. His apartment is a one-bedroom apartment. They also have two-bedroom apartments. It's very nice. Their food is excellent. They have a lot of activities for their residents. "

"It has a very homey feel to it that made my father feel comfortable. We ate a meal there, and he thought the food was wonderful. He loved it. I did my best to try to find an available room for him that has a view, because that was important to my father, and I believe I was able to do that. We have not signed all the paperwork yet."

"Pelican Landing in Sebastianwas all clean. They were still laying in the carpet, so we just took a tour of it to see what they offer, and it sounded like it was going to be really good. They have a lot of social things they do with their residents and help people with dementia with a lot of brain-building games. They also had a garden. It would have been a really nice facility; however, Mom has decided that she wanted to move to South Carolina to be closer to us. Pelican Landing has individual levels of care. It is a very nice facility with a shuttle bus to take the residents to their doctors' appointments. "

"Lynmoore at Lawnwood was excellent and the place was spotless. The staff was very caring. When we first went there, the admission coordinator answered all the questions I asked. I can’t say enough about them. They were really great all around. The staff really go over and above what their job description is. They look after my sister well. They’re like a little family. The food is pretty good. My sister is not crazy about it, because she’s pretty fussy; but friends and family have gone to have lunch or dinner with her, and there’s a pretty good choice of food. They usually have one main meal on the menu, but you could also get a sandwich or fries. The food on a scale of 1 to 10 is an 8. There’s always something going on every day. They take people out to plays. They have manicure days. The stuff that they do for holidays is unbelievable. They had an Oktoberfest. The place was decorated beautifully for Halloween. They also do this black-and-white affair once a year where everybody gets dressed up and eats wonderful food. They have several central patio areas where they do barbecues for the residents. "

"Rooms nice on ALF side. My parent had nice view of pool. Housekeeping however could be improved. They were supposed to dust, but was in need of dusting when I visited, especially under bed. Nice to have washer/dryer in room. They had fair number of activities, but the ones my parent would like they stopped having and supposed to have pet therapy and quit doing on ALF side. When interviewing to select facility we said our Dad would need prompting to go to activities, They did a little at first, but didn't much later. Could have assisted and encouraged more. They had filet mignon, but would run out quite often and not inform residents when back in. Compared to some other facilities, food fairly good. They did need to clean tables off better between residents finishing meal and new resident sitting in their spot. They were short handed at times, but did see higher up staff helping serve food which was nice. Facility pretty overall, but housekeeping seemed to get worse during stay of relative there in public bathrooms as well as residents room. ? Short staffed. My biggest complaint was they kept increasing my parents level of care needed and charging more, but I did not feel they were actually providing the extra care. For example increased cost saying he needed assistance toileting, but when informed I did not see assistance done, said well no real toileting program, but when they saw him in room, they would check and assist if needed. We had to keep changing care plan to make it work. He would miss meals and they said he didn't want to come down to dining room and had right to refuse. Issue was didn't want to eat that early, so had to keep asking them to come at different time to get him to meals. Some staff worked much better with him. Also did not like the fact that could not have camera in room to check on resident since lived far away. They claimed company felt invasion of residents privacy, but parent did not care if cameras there. Should have been able to have and parent sign waiver ok to have. Think more they didn't want people watching staff."

"My friend has moved in. It's very clean and very homey. It's two floors, and there's an elevator. The staff seems to be attentive, and they take a personal interest in the resident. The meals are great. I just looked at what they were eating, and it was well done. They do things like bingo, trivia, and arts. They have a whole library."
