6 Independent Living Communities in Delray Beach, Florida

We moved into here. It is everything we want in a retirement home. It is very comfortable. They have a swimming pool and an exercise room. Activities are posted every day, but we have not done anything yet. The staff are very caring. Everything is clean and new. For the food, it is nothing great, but it is not bad.

Itwas very nice. I had very little interaction with the staff. They didn't make it quite as easy to move in as the other place. I actually preferred them because it's only five minutes from where we live. They would send a nurse out to do the evaluation on my mother only after we signed to move her in. It may not sound like a big thing, but it was. It was very nicely laid out and designed. It had an open and airy feeling to it. They had a pool and a courtyard. When you walk into the building, it just felt right. It was designed in a way that made perfect sense. I could find my way around there immediately. The facility at Delray was nicer than the other place. If I was just going to judge them on the actual physical facility, I would've gone to them. I only interacted with the salesperson, and she was wonderful.

We like it a lot; it's actually at the top of the list right now. I'm looking for a community that has everything from independent to assisted living. We wanted to have a place that has all these amenities on-site for him, so that when he needs to go to assisted living, it's all there for him. The other places have been eliminated simply because they're only assisted living. What stood out to me about the place is the social life. I don't want my dad to be just in his room, and it had a great social life. It has three meals a day. They have porches, balconies, and outdoor areas, which are important for him as well. The rooms were a little bit small, so we're a little bit worried about that, but it's not too bad. The big thing is that it's in a good location, and they had good reviews, with an average rating of 4.5 out of 39 reviews. We're still in COVID, so right now they're serving people independently or on small, spread-apart tables. I only met a limited amount of staff, but the ones I've met I liked. I met the director and her assistant. They offer great activities, and they have great amenities. They're full service with everyday cleaning.

My son is settled in Grand Villa of Delray East. We had him in a facility in Greenacres for three weeks and they almost killed him, so we had to change and we looked over a bunch of other places. I already have two sons in Grand Villa in different locations, so I decided to try this one in Delray Beach. They were far superior to the one in Greenacres. My son has been there since mid-November. I would give the staff an A+ rating and a gold star. They are very responsive, everything he needs, he gets. The food is good and the atmosphere is great. They keep the place very clean. My son is almost blind. He only maybe has 3% of the normal sight, so he is incapable of participating in any activity. Grand Villa has a large screen TV, a library, a general store if you need to buy something and I think they have a bistro to get coffee or snack. Right now with food, they don't have the ability to bring a lot of things to the room and I think once the pandemic is over, it will probably go back to normal.

We are very happy here. We have gotten everything we've expected and more. The staff is excellent. The facility is beautiful and immaculately clean. We get housekeeping and laundry several times a week, and we get meals in the dining room. My husband's medication is managed by the Wellness Center here. They have everything you could possibly want: entertainment, movies, card games, bingo, and lectures. A lady comes in at 6:00 a.m. to give my husband his prescribed medications. After breakfast we walk 20 steps over to the Wellness Center. They manage incontinence and they change the bed sheets whenever it's necessary. Our apartment has one bedroom, a living room, dining area, kitchenette, bathroom, and a screened-in porch off of the living room.
