    Friendly staff but inconsistent maintenance

    I found the staff overwhelmingly friendly and helpful, the grounds and apartments clean, well-decorated and often more updated than competitors, with abundant activities and generally very good dining. That said, experiences vary widely: maintenance and management turnover felt chronic (AC, leaks, mold and pest reports), dining and kitchen service is inconsistent, and understaffing/training issues sometimes led to poor or even rude care. Pricing can be high for the level of reliability, and I'd urge anyone touring to check care protocols, refunds/leases, and recent maintenance records. I'd recommend a visit - great people and amenities - but move only after thorough checks and clear written promises.

    Discovery Village Vero Beach offers a comfortable, homelike setting with a nautical theme and high ceilings, where seniors can enjoy spacious suites and apartments featuring white kitchen appliances, plenty of cabinets, large closets, personal safes, and luggage racks, with some units having a private balcony for assisted living residents, and you'll see cozy seating areas and dining tables looking out onto landscaped grounds, ponds, and palm trees. The community provides both independent and assisted living, as well as memory care and skilled nursing, so people can get the right level of care for their needs, with help available for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, and a nurse on staff part-time. Residents can choose from floor plans like Waterford, Pelican, Sandpiper, Spoonbill, and Osprey, with options for one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or suite layouts, and every apartment offers safety features, individual climate controls, WiFi, cable, and kitchen appliances for comfort and convenience.

    Meals come from the Sensations Dining program, which serves three chef-prepared meals a day with snacks in a stylish, soft-lit dining room, and families can join for guest meals or when using room service. There are also plenty of daily activities, from group games and live entertainment to arts and crafts rooms, a well-stocked library with computers, fitness and wellness programs in the Dimensions Health & Fitness center, and a heated outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees and lounge chairs, plus a patio with rocking chairs and outdoor shuffleboard courts. The community helps residents stay active with social events like movie nights, holiday parties, and signature programs like Celebrations Activities & Events, and outdoors you'll find gardens, walking paths, a butterfly garden, a private courtyard, and pet-friendly spots for furry companions. Personal care includes a beauty salon and barber shop with hairstyling stations, spa and massage services, and an in-house chapel for religious services.

    Discovery Village offers a large multi-building campus with easy parking, handicap-accessible features, and transportation for shopping trips and appointments through Connections Transportation. Assisted living and memory care services use specialized staff, and the campus has strong dementia awareness, with education, resources, articles, podcasts like "The Disappearing Mind," and support for families and caregivers. There's a focus on helping seniors live well, with lifestyle programs aimed at keeping people engaged mentally, physically, and emotionally, in addition to home health and adult day care options. Military veterans can take part in a special Veterans Program, and the community stands behind its care with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Housekeeping, linen, maintenance, concierge support from Expressions Concierge, and all-inclusive rent help make life easier, and residents can pay by check with a one-month entry fee, as required by State License 9095. The campus sits in a landscaped, resort-like spot near beaches, golf, and Florida's Treasure Coast recreation, offering a cozy and active place for seniors to call home.
