Gold Choice Deltona

I went to Gold Choice Deltona. The people were very informative. It was clean. It looked like everybody there was enjoying themselves. So, I don't think that would have been a bad choice. We were taken in a single-family room. It was very clean and organized with a nice living area.

I went to Gold Choice Deltona a little early and the lady who was supposed to meet with us was out to lunch. So they found somebody else to give us a tour. It was nice, but it was a little bit more expensive, almost $1,000 more. They showed us two- and three-bedrooms, and those were totally out of league. They were nice but it was not what I wanted and not what I needed. It's clean. However, they need to go with a laminate floor or something else because my mother walks with a walker. I think it's easier for her to walk on solid floors. I think they had a hair salon or a nail salon for the residents, which is good. They have some activities there. We were there half an hour early, so I didn't get a package, and I didn't get the form to take to the doctor or anything to guide me on how to go about it. In the end, when I saw the price, it was out of our league.

My wife moved into Gold Choice Deltona about a week ago. I'm very satisfied with it. That's why we placed her there. I've only looked at a couple of other ones and not that they weren't as good, but cost-wise they were a little bit more and that's another reason why we selected Gold Choice. And, plus our son, who is a Catholic priest goes there once a month. So, he was somewhat familiar with their facility, and with him being the pastor here so close to Deltona, it would give him a chance to visit her much easier than some other location. So there were several different reasons, but that's why we selected Gold Choice. The room is semi-private. There are two ladies in the room. They've got an activity room. They have activities where they take them to do different things. In their dining room area, they have a TV, which the ladies and a few men sit there and watch TV. And if they want to do any coloring or anything, if they have coloring books of their own or whatever it is, they're able to sit in the dining room areas and at the tables and do whatever would keep them happy and, occupied.

Gold Choice Deltona was bad news. I wouldn't even take my dog there. It smelled, and I wasn't impressed at all with the lady in charge. She said some guy was annoying her and that was the guy that lives in the facility. She shut her door so he wouldn't bug her. It just was not a good and friendly atmosphere.

DO NOT RESIDE HERE! In July 2022, I discovered my birth father on 23andme for the first time in 51 years. Since then, (and with him giving me Power of Attorney), I have been helping him get his life back on track. This included moving him down to Florida from New Jersey, so that he could be nearer my half-brother and the airport, so that we could all visit him after being estranged for so long. As he is not fully able to care for himself, I did some research and sought an Assisted Living Facility for my father. I wanted somewhere that would offer him support with certain things like dressing, cleaning and meals, but to NOT interfere in his medical matters as he has his own medical care team. So, we brought my father to Gold Choice from late August 2022 until end September 2022. OMG - I wish I had never come across this facility. Not only did I have to buy a fridge and microwave and order food from the supermarket so that my father had an adequate diet, but I had to buy extra clothes for him to stay warm, I had to pay for extra private care to keep an eye on things and protect him, and I had to deal with a whole host of unethical issues that literally made me fear for my father’s life. Matters got so bad that I had to call the Ombudsman, Adult Protection Services, Elder Abuse, the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, Social Services, Lawyers and the AHCA. Needless to say, I got my father moved from this place as fast as possible, hence why he was only there for such a short period and why I am writing this review. I advise everyone AGAINST using this facility or listening to ANY recommendations for this place especially from people offering paid-for Medicaid application services for here. If I could put 0 stars rather than 1 stars for this review I would. Thankfully my father is now well and living in a beautiful place nearby.

Gold Choice Deltona was a very quiet place. It was clean, and I liked the single bedrooms better than the double occupancy rooms. It had no carpet, and I could not say that it was cozy. Debbie was very nice and informative, and she gave me a lot of answers and tips. I think the place should work on their activity list. The dining room was spacious, but I did not try the food. They said they had enough staff, but I did not see a lot of people working there. I saw a reading room, and I saw one person in the movie room but no movie was playing. The area outside for the residents to sit in looked spacious and nice, but I did not see a lot of umbrellas or areas to hide from the sun. I saw one gazebo, though. I can't find a lot of negative things about it, but I can't find a lot of good things about it either. The building looked fairly new and clean. Overall, I'm giving them an average rating because I would have liked to see more staff and more interaction among the residents.
