My mother is in Brookdale West Boynton Beach. It's been a very positive experience. They're very good and very helpful. I had no idea how difficult it was getting my mother into assisted care, and Brookdale made it as easy as possible. They worked with me, answered all my questions, and did anything I asked. I was there when they were giving my mother the menu options, and I couldn't believe it -- it was like a restaurant. There were so many options. Her room is nice and clean, but it's assisted living and not a five-star hotel. They have a library and activity rooms. In order to get my mother into the facility, a nurse had to come out and do a thorough evaluation of her to see if she was a candidate for assisted living. They sent someone out the next day, even without a commitment from us to do the nursing evaluation, and that made it much easier to get her in there. She's entitled to get a veterans pension to help her pay her fees there, and I had to give them multiple forms. They filled them all out and gave them back to me the next day, and it was very helpful. I feel very comfortable with my mother being there. I'm very comfortable that she's getting the correct amount of attention and good care over there. The food looked good when I saw it. For lunch, they'd have three or four options. The resident gets a chance to choose which one she wants, and I was very impressed with that. The sales representative was fabulous.

My sister went to Discovery Village of Boynton Beach. She's very happy there and she's very active. They have a morning exercise program on the television, there's movies most evenings and some afternoons, and she plays bridge with some of the women there. She loves to walk and she's found a few people who like to walk as well. She's almost a vegetarian and she loves the food because they have, according to her, wonderful vegetables and fish. She's met a few nice people. She was reluctant to move there because she had come from a country club situation, but she has settled in and likes it very much. They're doing a huge renovation there. She moved into a small apartment, but it has a brand new kitchen, a microwave, a lovely new refrigerator and oven, and marble countertops. The bathroom has a brand new shower, brand new fixtures, and the floors are all brand new. They all have a little terrace outside and they're all brand new. It's quite nice, and it's moderately priced compared to some of the retirement homes. She's happy and she's a tough customer. If she's happy, we're happy. I only met the woman in charge of new people coming in and she was delightful, very helpful, she had us over for lunch there, and she explained everything. It was quite a very nice situation and now a neighbor's mother is going to be going there also. I had lunch a couple of times and the food was very nice. They're going through a huge renovation right now. The dining room is under construction. Everything's gonna be brand new and beautiful there once they're done.

My friend seemed to like Grand Villa of Boynton Beach. It looked great. The staff who accommodated me was the most caring person I talked to. The dining area looked very appealing. All of the activities looked good, too. They were doing karaoke while I was there, and it was very nice. The place was pretty compact, but it was quite good for the layout.

Grand Villa of Boynton Beach had shared apartments and I didn't want to share with somebody. I wanted my own place, but they said it would be a thousand dollars more, so I said, "Forget about it." The room had two full-sized beds with a wall in between, and you share the bathroom and a very small kitchen. I only met one lady and I told her I didn’t like the place and she wasn't interested in talking to me anymore. They have a pool.
