The Brennity is a beautiful place. They have wonderful food, and plenty of activities provided for residents. Dad settled in very quickly, and he is happy there. Very accommodating and helpful staff members. We would definitely recommend to others looking.
Discovery Village Vero Beach

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.
