Leisure Care, LLC/One Eighty

For me, it was a good transition, but I would not want to live there. I was there for a month to get better, and that was my goal. I didn't find it to be an invigorating place. The meals were alone and quiet. I thought the food was lacking. The menu planning was lacking, and it was not a healthy diet. The whole environment just didn't have a lot of life to it. And it didn't feel like that was Covid-related. It made me realize that I didn't want to be in an assisted living facility. The staff was very good and very nice. It just wasn't the right place for me.

I would tell others that the people are very nice here. The care is reasonably good. My loved one has been there for several years and the only complaint is the food. Other than the food, my loved one is happy here. Some of the activities they had prior to the pandemic: singers, clubs, movies, card games, bingo, and more for the residents to choose from.

It's heaven compared to the place my loved one came from. I would highly recommend it. It's a very nice community. They have private rooms. The building is a converted hotel, so it's very much like a hotel room. But they provide a mini fridge, and each resident has a private bathroom that is easily accessible for taking showers. And there's plenty of room to bring things in to make it homey and comfortable for the residents. For the most part, the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They do keep me updated on any changes in my loved one's medications. They've very good about those things. The food is okay, but my loved one would like to see less sandwiches. It's gotten a lot better since they've lifted restrictions now that everyone has their Covid shots and can go to the dining room again. But they do give her oranges if she asks for them. Any request she makes, if they have it, they'll provide it for her. If the residents are capable of taking care of a pet, they allow pets in the facility, which I think is amazing. I know that really brightens my mom's spirits seeing other people's dogs.

We chose Grand VIlla because it is not as big as some of the others, so residents get to know each other pretty well. The staff seems to care about the residents and try hard to be helpful. Also it was spotless. They have been very good with communication and keeping families up to date. I think others should know that the quality of the staff is very good. I would recommend to others looking.

Last year, literally days before the country shut down because of Covid-19, we moved Mom into the assisted living section of Grand Villa Dunedin. The facility was great in that they did everything they could to give the residents some semblance of a normal life in spite of the overwhelming effects of the pandemic on health and normal life. Unfortunately, like many people, the lockdown led to Mom having some health issues, mainly her balance and strength. The Care Team were amazing, helping her get physical therapy. They also bent backwards to ensure that whenever possible, she had access to socialization and activities that provided some movement. The entire staff at GV have been a godsend for Mom and we are so grateful that Mom has come through the pandemic whole and almost back to her old self.

It is a great community, and I feel comfortable having my loved one here. The convenience and safety of the community are standouts to me. I wouldn't change anything about the community.

The community is very friendly. They have a big community and nice areas to walk. My apt is nice and I like my view. Communication is good but they use fliers and a community board. but if you lose the flier you don't know what's going on. We are able to go to meetings and give suggestions. I would recommend this community to others The dining room is very nice also. They have several sizes of apts. your can chose from

They were very accommodating. They tried to work with my loved one as much as possible to make her comfortable, especially considering my loved one was resistant to being there. The nursing director and staff were very helpful . It's a new place, so it was really nice. It was very well done, and they provided a furnished apartment to stay in during the quarantine period when you first move in. It was hard to get a feel for the community as a whole since a lot of it was closed off due to Covid. Overall, it was very nice They really worked hard to make this the best experience, from the GM to everyone.

The communication between the staff and the families was good and they returned calls in a timely manner. The location is in a good area and they kept the grounds and the community neat and clean. I would recommend this community to others

I would advise others to try the community. The director of the community is leaving, and she has been rude to my family. The kitchen staff is rude, and not wanting to wear their hair nets. The community could use some improvements overall.

This is a good facility, I think they had a good covid plan and took good care of the residence. She had a nice apt. and they did offer different floor plans. Parking was an issue though. I would recommend this facility to others.

We have been here since [date removed]. Considering Covid-19 hit about 1 week later. I don't feel we've really had a fair time to judge. Employees are friendly and efficient. The food is so-so because it was served in our rooms and the entertainment was the best it could be under the circumstances.

I have been here 1.5 years.

Impressive, sent me a personalized video tour. Most residents in their 80's; will not work for a 69 year old. Pricing not outrageous.

Presently there are no dysphagia solids options for dietary restrictions. Unless [name removed] has been upgraded from mechanical soft, it's not an option. The on-staff nurse also needs to get back to determine whether or not they can provide supervision during meals for verbal cueing.

It was fine there for my mom and we didn't really have any problems with them. The caregivers were mediocre. For us, it comes down to the lack of skilled nursing care, and no registered nurses 24 hours a day. It seemed like there was always a high staff turnover and that seemed especially hard for my mom. The food started out really good and then the chef changed and if was hard for her to eat with her strict diet. They offered daily specials and the desserts were really good.

Overall, it is a well run community. The only negative is that my mom doesn't like the food. We chose this community because it felt nicer and homey and my mom liked it best. The staff and the people who live there are friendly. It was the nice mix of services offered. It was just the right fit for her. In addition to having the dining services, each apartment is equipped with its own kitchen which was a big selling point for us.

They have a great staff and do a great job at Fairwinds River's Edge. The food is good. The layout is good. They don't have a lot of outdoor space. The room sizes are good. We have had a good experience.
