Volante Senior Living

My name is Dr. Scott Kalina. I am a hospice and palliative care physician with TrustBridge Hospice. I have been following patients at the Grand Villa West memory care unit for the past eight months. I am very impressed with the staff at the unit. At the memory care unit, the staff are compassionate, conscientious, and caring. The patients receive excellent care by well-trained and well-educated staff. It has been my pleasure in following patients at the Grand Villa West memory care unit. Respectfully submitted.

We’re very impressed with the livability, easy accessibility, and usability – the community just generally helps people acclimate to the community. The food is just fine. There is an outside area – there is a courtyard.

from the minute i walked in the door i knew i was home

We liked it. It was nice. The community was clean. The price is comparable to everyone else. The activity director is good. The calendar of activities looked really good. The care services also seemed like what everyone else offers.

My dad Wallace Kennedy was a resident there for only 3 months unfortunately he had an accident and broke his hip and had to move to a rehab facility for recovery. There were many complications after the surgery and he's been back and forth to the hospital many times and is unfortunately not going to be able to return to Grand Villa. I was able to stay in an apartment at grand villa while I was visiting my dad in the hospital. They were so accommodating and provided me with 3 meals a day and even did my laundry for me. This facility is like Home the staff is wonderful they make you feel as part of the family. I got an opportunity to meet the residents and dine with them. They made my stay so enjoyable and convenient since was only a mile away from the hospital. The entire staff there is wonderful and I would highly recommend this facility to anyone that's wants there family member to have a place they can call home when they no longer can live by themselves.

My husband was one of the first residents when Grand Villa West opened their newly renovated doors. I will admit there were the usual start-up problems, but family members formed a council where these problems were discussed and brought to the attention of management. It took a little while, but every detail of our concern was remedied. Laura, the director, did a wonderful job of redirecting and retraining the staff. The food is fine-dining quality, and I am not exaggerating. Any family member will attest to this. There are daily activities (with a new Activities Director and Assistant) that stimulate the mind, as well as exercises, Yoga, arts and crafts, sing-alongs and movies. Live entertainment is brought in on a regular basis. The doors are open until 8PM with access to a large, fenced-in, well protected and well lit area where residents can walk or sit. Regular head-checks make sure everyone is accounted for. I can honestly say that the facility is now running very well. My husband is kept clean, safe, well-fed and as occupied as he cares to be. The aides are doing a wonderful job under stressful conditions. Just putting my husband of 50+ years into a facility was a long and guilt-ridden journey. I am so fortunate to have found Grand Villa West. The weekly support group meetings have helped me put my life together, and the monthly Family Council meetings assure me that any concerns we have will be addressed. I could not ask for more.

From the moment I walked in the doors of Grand Villa West, the staff was so warm and welcoming. The residents seemed very happy and content as I spent a week there with my precious aunt. I highly recommend this facility to anyone. What a great group of people..like one big family!

If you want to breath love, this is the place to be. I have never seen so much love showed to residents.

my mom moved here some years ago. I came to look in on her as alhzeimers was all new to me. I didn't know places like this existed. I was so very fortunate to have found Grand Villa in Largo. My mother was treated so special and they really paid attention to the details as I explained what my mom did for a living. I came in to take her to lunch and she was doing admissions as she had done in colleges and universities. Grand Villa was so wonderful to my mom, I could't have found a better place. Their memory support is fantastic, from the nursing staff to the upkeep of the grounds. I love the fountains and walkways. You have a wonderful staff. God bless you all

They're doing a good job here overall, my loved one seems very happy. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and the staff are all very friendly and caring. She loves the food, and they've always got some sort of activity going on to keep the residents entertained.

What a wonderful place. My Dad has lived there for quite some time.He enjoys his privacy and enjoys the activities. It seems there is always something going on there. He raves about the dining staff and the food. I had lunch with him and the dining room is clean and luxurious. The nursing staff goes above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable. They are always smiling and ask if every thing is ok. When I walk through the building, it looks and smells so clean. If you are looking for a professional management and staff team for a loved one. I would highly reccomend this place.

I have to admit, in the beginning I was a bit skeptical because my dad was quite apprehensive about moving to a senior facility and being dependent. It did not take long for dad to begin making friends. Soon after, he began to enjoy the activities, likt happy hour, games, the entertainment guests. The staff is teriffic. The facility is always clean and nice. The care is excellent, and the nurses always pay attention to the details. I would highly reccomend Grand Villa.

The differences in Grand Villa as opposed to the other company that had the building are huge. The staff is happy , courteous and bend over backward to accomodate. My dad loves living there. The hallways, dining room, activity area and billiards room are all clean and tidy. There are no bad odors or stains. The management staff goes out of their way to help. 3 months ago my dad lost his room key. The maintenance guy made him another no questions asked. I love the way the people who live there sit in the lobby joking and chatting. Friendly, clean, happy environment. Would give more stars if they were available. Keep up the great job. Looks like home feels so much like family.

We moved my parents into Grand Villa 12/31/13. We moved in their own furniture, so that it would feel like home. The dining room is impressive; white table cloth service. We come and have lunch with them often. The numerous regular activities they have include BBQ cookouts, donuts and coffee after breakfast (daily), ice cream socials in the afternoon, wine and cheese in the afternoon, dancing and music, etc. They provide transportation to my parents doctors appointments, hair dresser appointments, store visits, etc. My parents absolutely Love it here !! My parents are 89 and 90. The staff is amazingly helpful.

I've read all the reviews, and come on folks, really?? This community is awesome! Have you been to Emeritus or Brookdale? Go visit those communities and then go back to Grand Villa West. Yes, the grounds are not finished being renovated, but if it looks like what they are doing in the inside, you can bet it will be beautiful. Yes the theater is currently small, but I hear they will be renovating the building next store and make a community auditorium. They just finished the renovation of the Country Store, the Private Dining Room, Beauty Salon in an area they call Main Street. They will have a brand new card room on the third floor. My friend's mother is thrilled with the changes and its so close to her home in Delray. I also heard that the community renovated the bathroom at no cost of the person who wrote that the bathroom did not accommodate her mother. What community will do that?? My friend asked at another community if she could have a extra grab bar in the bathroom and they wanted to charge her mom $150!! The management at Grand Villa has been wonderful to her, her mother, and every resident that they have come to know. Whats wrong with all you people!! So before you all continue to diss this community, go look at others. Then maybe you will go to Grand Villa West (if they still have room)!!

My mom had a lot of anxiety at first about moving into an independent living community. The transition to Ashbrook Village in Villa Rica, Ga, facilitated through the fabulous A Place for Mom crew, has been terrific. The staff have made every effort to provide a safe and supportive community for its seniors. It was so nice to hear mom say recently, "I would not have believed it, but I have not been happier in years!"

They are very clean and friendly. The staff is wonderfully responsive. The rooms could use a little uplifting, the residents rooms could be a little brighter. The food is very good. I was very impressed with their staff, they are very helpful.

Overall they've done a great job here. It's a nice looking place, very clean, and the staff are all very friendly. One thing I like is that the staff all specialize in their specific tasks. They have a permanent kitchen and dining staff, and the aides always function as aides. The food is here is very good. I've tried it a few times myself and it is always high quality!

They're doing a great job here, and my friend seems very happy. They're in the process of remodeling the whole building, inside and out, and what they've finished so far looks beautiful. The staff here are very friendly and professional, and they really get to know all the residents. They can let you know when you come in to visit where someone is and what they've been up to.

Very nice. Mom seemed to feel comfortable right away. Just hoping we can afford it.
