My mother is now a resident, she has some issues with elevator outages. Food isn't gourmet but adequate in amount but can be a little bland. The pool isn't always available either. Sometimes there are issues with outside maintenance, including outside window cleaning.

It now is being bought out by Sencerii as of [date removed]. So you must realize there is a transaction taking place & that takes time to get back to normal for everyone. The food was pretty good in the beginning, but now it is like they don't care & neither does the Nurses care about following up to find out the reason. They either try to swap people's food or just forget about you. Like last night for dinner I had called ahead, which you allowed to do if you you don't find anything on regulation. My experience overall is very good. The staff we as a whole is very good & they have a lot of activities & 'they Encourage you to join and the community it self is very clean & again I think the only problem is they are so short of help with nurses & and maintenance people. This may be it probably. I appreciate most living here is that they offer doctors nurses Therapist to come to you here at this facility. Also they furnish Transportation, & over all it is s very nice place to call home.

Ask around before you move in because how rude, dirty, disrespectful, and bug-ridden this place is a poorly-kept secret. Don’t do this to yourself or your family members. Please. Your loved ones deserve to be treated with kindness, not lied to, ignored, or yelled at by the nursing staff. Stay away.

The atmosphere is one of sorrow, loneliness distress and prevalent sadness. I have already tried to break my breakable but AT ASTONISHING EXPENSE! Will be leaving the minute my lease expires. MANY here are doing the SAME, that's why rooms are available.

If you care about your loved one, you'll want to stay clear of Discovery Village in Vero Beach. The apartment complex is dirty and unhealthy for anyone to be living there. Mold issues, water coming up through the floor of the downstairs apartment and no one cared why it was happening. Filth on the entrance doors. I visited my sister shortly after she moved in and noticed mold on the cabinet doors under the sink and the outer cabinet wall next to the refrigerator. It took me constantly calling to have them finally replace the cabinets, but you can't even imagine the quality of the work on the installation. They hooked up the garbage disposal so it was draining into the dishwasher. I was there 3 weeks recently and no one came in to fix the issue. During my visit the AC unit was down for one week and then repaired but down again a few days later for 2.5 days. Pictures sent to District Manager but nothing changed. My sister moved out.

We chose Discovery Village Vero Beach because of the affordability, the location, and the option to have 3 daily meals. The staff have always been extremely friendly and helpful. This is just what my mom was looking for!

At my age I was told to check around to find a place I would not be alone. I don't have family and can't rely on neighbors. Right now I have only been here for the past three weeks. I am still unpacking. Learning the routine.

It's been a very good fit for my parents. Friendly staff. Issues get resolved fairly quickly. Good value for price. Meals could have more variety. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Discovery Village, Vero Beach has been a good fit for my loved one and the staff is very attentive. The Head of Nursing, [name removed]goes over and beyond for not only my loved one, but all of her residents.

The people at Discovery Village are the difference, it feels like a community! From the initial contact, through the move-in and beyond, the staff and residents are welcoming, active and caring. We have had to work out a few kinks and it's been an adjustment, but I have always felt that the staff genuinely wanted to help and had my dad's best interest at heart. I have recommended this community to others. We like the community feel, apartment style living with private lanais, quiet neighborhood and that both independent and assisted living participated in dining and activities together.

I would recommend it to others. They need to increase their kitchen staff. The food is pretty good but the time between the first course-fruit or salad-and the main meal can be so long that my mom falls asleep and then gets embarrassed that she did. Most of the staff that tends to my mom is good.

All of the staff and the other residents at Discovery Village Vero Beach are extremely friendly and very welcoming. Several of the other residents told me they had lived other facilities and this is the best. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

My mom is a resident at Discovery Village Vero Beach. The housekeeping is basic sweeping and light bathroom cleaning, it could probably be a little better but they are very nice people. I have not had very much need for communication, but the staff were very helpful when I did ask any questions. I have eaten with mom a few times. They give several options and the food is quite tasty. Mom is very happy with the staff and residents and really enjoys the activities, so I would definitely recommend Discovery Village Vero Beach to others.

Our experience was short due to advanced Alzheimer's. It was too big for my mom. She would get lost. Not a locked facility. Appearance, size of apartment was nice. Price was fair. They administered meds for additional monthly fee.

My name is Seth, I am an instructor that comes in twice a month to teach a chair yoga class for the residents. After having been there for a while now, and having such a great experience every time, I just wanted to let everyone know how awesome this place truly is! The first thing I noticed were how happy and active all of the residents are, always chatting and laughing in the lobby when I come in, and they love telling me about all the fun events and activities the company puts on for them. Everyone on the staff is amazing as well, they all are so friendly and welcoming. Beth Sanchez was (and continues to be) very sweet and helpful in showing me around the facilities, introducing me to everyone, and just generally making me feel right at home. I thoroughly enjoy every time I teach at the community and as soon I walk out of class, I already can't wait for the next one. It is an all around amazing place with even more amazing people!

They recently got a new director of nursing, but we were not properly introduced. We picked this community, because of the friendliness, and being able to address the residents by their names. They have misplaced laundry. The quality of the food has changed, according to the other residents. They have had a turnover in staff, which has created an issue with some of the new people not being properly trained. It's pretty good value for the money.

I think that it is run more like a business rather than a care facility. Because it is split between independent living and assisted living, there is a little bit of a disconnect. I do feel that it was more about sales than it was about the individual care.
