Victoria Villa sits on a lovely 10-acre natural setting with palm trees and a pond in Davie, Florida, and has been family owned and operated since 1964, so people have been living there for quite a while now, and there's a warm feeling when you walk into the grounds where residents can see Florida sunshine out big windows and walk around gardens with plenty of room for everyone. Residents live in private or semi-private apartments with private bathrooms, and the rooms have wide windows, wall-to-wall carpeting, and accessible features like handicap showers and toilets, which helps folks with mobility needs, and you'll also spot friendly day rooms where people spend time together and relax. Residents have three meals a day and two snacks, all cooked by chefs and meal planners, and meals are served restaurant-style in shared dining rooms. Residents can also enjoy outdoor seating and common areas, and there's parking for people who drive or get visits from loved ones, plus gated access makes everyone feel a bit safer.
Residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication, with staff on duty twenty-four hours a day, and there's a high staff-to-resident ratio, which means people always have someone nearby to help. Nurses, physicians, nursing assistants, and recreational therapists all work together, and bi-weekly physician visits mean health gets attention regularly, in addition to care for diabetic, non-ambulatory, or high-acuity needs, with help for people needing incontinence support or even hospice services. An emergency call system is in every unit for quick help. Memory care is a good part of Victoria Villa too, with specialized programs for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and memory care areas feel homelike, not locked down, so residents can move about and socialize in supervised, safe, and open spaces, which many families like, and activities help with cognitive health, with custom care plans to fit every person's needs.
A full calendar keeps people busy with social, educational, and fun things to do-there are music and animal therapy sessions, tabletop games, arts, crafts, puzzles, horticultural activities, outings to local places on the bus, and even musical therapy, along with fitness and wellness programs, literature and educational talks, and organized social gatherings, all to keep up friendships and mental wellness. People can join offsite trips to shops or appointments using the included transportation, and enjoy time in the residents' lounge or spacious entertainment rooms. Victoria Villa brings in a hairdresser once a week, offers laundry and housekeeping, and provides on-site devotional and religious services, including fellowship and worship, and they include family in things according to personal wishes, which helps everybody stay involved. They also allow animal and pet therapy, for those who like being around animals, and have recreation staff available all the time.
Victoria Villa is fully licensed (state license number 8646) and offers day care, assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even home care. The place accepts different payment plans, like long-term care insurance, Medicare, private insurance, and private pay, and it's a recognized Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity provider as well as a "Best of Senior Living" community. The staff aims to help residents keep as much independence and self-worth as possible by respecting each person's strengths, and care planning happens with input from residents, which matters as folks age and their needs change. The setting promotes a natural, social environment instead of feeling like an institution, with lots of places to walk and sit, and security in place without locking people away. Victoria Villa may not get the highest reviews everywhere, but it's been around a long time, and families say staff are friendly and the days are full, so residents have plenty to do and plenty of help if they need it.
