Discovery Village Deerwood Independent Living sits on a large 15-acre campus and has apartments made for people 55 and over who want their own private, low-maintenance space but still be part of a community, and you'll find one- and two-bedroom floor plans with choices like balconies and private bathrooms, so you can pick what works best for your needs. The campus has separate buildings for independent living, assisted living, and SHINE® Memory Care, so people stay in the part of the community that fits what they need, and the staff are trained to help in each area, including with skilled nursing and respite care. There's a big focus on helping people stay independent and active, so the schedules are always full of things like wellness programs, clubs, exercise classes like FitCamp®, and events that keep people social, along with indoor and outdoor spaces and even a swimming pool and hot tub where you can relax or meet with others.
People like the food since there's the Sensations Dining program with chef-prepared meals you can have in different dining rooms with others, and the kitchen staff tries to make meals that are healthy and taste good, and you can eat with flexible hours and lots of menu choices. Living here means help is there when you need it, so assisted living is available, where staff help with everyday tasks but still encourage you to do what you can on your own, and those living with Alzheimer's or other dementias can take part in SHINE® Memory Care, which has secure spaces and specialized care plans for safety and comfort. Housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and transportation are covered, so you don't have to worry about all that, and if you ever want to get your hair done or need spiritual support, onsite beautician and devotional services are available.
Residents use the internet with Wi-Fi, join in community events or outings, and there's even an amphitheater nearby, so there's no shortage of things to do, and the community uses a resident portal so families can stay updated. Activities and events fill the calendar, and the staff try to create an environment where people feel welcome and connected, which is probably why the community has a good review score from residents and families. Discovery Village Deerwood is part of Discovery Senior Living, which has over 25 years of experience and several communities across Florida, Texas, and Virginia, and they also give extra things like a military veterans program, virtual tours, floor plans to view, and resources on planning for senior living, so future residents know what to expect. The community works to make life simple and enjoyable, with options for independent living, assisted living, SHINE® Memory Care, skilled nursing, and respite stays, all under one roof, while staying focused on health, happiness, and personal choice, just letting people enjoy their days with as much freedom as possible.
