Hopeful Expectation
The facility is very clean and the Staff, in large part, are very caring. I would say that it deserves a look.

Hi, Discovery Commons South Biscayne assisted living is great, but we have decided today that we are going to look for another place. It is very expensive, and my Mom is not using the amenities she is paying for. I would love some suggestions of places that may not have as many amenities, like trips, etc. but that would be less expensive. Thanks for any help you can provide. The staff are great. They are vey helpful and they call me when there is an issue, which I truly appreciate. My Mom has dementia and is on the grumpy side lately because she thinks everyone is saying things about her that are not true. But the staff are very helpful, and very nice to her. They are always looking out for her best interest. There are lots of diverse activities to participate in, and the dining room and the dining room staff where everyone eats is great. Great food, and kind service. There are lots of outings and community gatherings and parties to enjoy, as well as arts and crafts, exercise activities, and games. They have a bunch of rocking chairs out front to enjoys and a wonderful screen porch to enjoy as well. Residents enjoy both everyday. The nursing staff, and the LPNs on each floor take care of the residents everyday. They always have a pulse on medication and how each resident is doing. They watch to be sure they are going to meals, and check in with them if they don't make it to a meal. They make sure they have had something to eat to take meds with, they encourage healthy habits, and let us know if they think there may be an issue we should follow up on. They are wonderful. We highly recommend Discovery Commons South Biscayne.

They provided excellent care for my husband and were extremely approachable. They are truly interested in their residents and are very accommodating to insure their residents needs are met and family concerns addressed in timely manner

Very friendly and helpful staff (my dad loves the staff). White table cloths for dinner. Very clean. Beautifully landscaped outside. Nice rooms. Bathroom shower with no lip (easy to get in and out of with a wheel chair, etc.). Nice location, close to restaurants and shopping - yet quiet neighborhood.

The staff is so friendly and very responsive! I live out of state and often need to update my mom’s information or make changes to her needs. The folks at DC worked closely with me to make sure I stayed in the loop of everything happening with mom. The dining is exceptional as is the dining staff. The activities are vast and [name removed], the activities director always made sure to encourage my mom to participate. The caregivers were top notch and ultimately that is why we chose DC for our mom. We heard very sad stories of other facilities that while beautiful (and more expensive!) their staff were very rough with residents. I never worried that my mom was treated poorly and she was very happy with her stay at DC.

Care staff was friendly, Admin sucked, clean, good food, no activity director, WAY too expensive. My hubby was in Memory Care, they kicked him out in less than a month. He kept getting past the alarm system. He went to [name removed] in Venice, $[fee removed] less rent monthly, master chef, TONS of activities...he was very happy there. He passed in Nov. Admin and care staff were exceptional, best place on the planet! I just felt like Admin, head nurse, etc, ganged up on me to throw [name removed] out, when they REALLY needed to update their alarm system.

I really liked the Assisted Living section of DC. It was clean, inviting, it has wide hallways and gives the feel of private apartments. The apartments themselves have good layouts for comfortable living. I also liked that there was always a nursing staff on duty in case of an emergency.

What we like the most about Discovery Commons is the cleanliness, care provided, and open communication. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families

Have to give it an adjustment period. We have had a lot of adjustments especially with nursing. But after a 6 month period every thing seems to be going ok. Not very good views on the 2nd floor. At first he didn’t like the food but all in all things are ok now just give it 6 months for everything to settle before judgement.

Based on my moms situation they were able to accommodate and attend to her particular needs. I would recommend Discovery Commons. They watched over my mother until the end.

DC was clean, Aides were awesomely wonderful, my loved one got lots to eat, but Management sucked. They kicked hubby out because THEY had obsolete alarm systems. He kept escaping, like it's our fault. And way Too expensive. Disliked management from day 1. I wish he could've stayed at DC. Can't say enough good about the Aides caregivers. Top notch.

I like that Mom gets regular showers, medication dispensed to her, Laundry done and apartment is cleaned. What I like least is the daily charge to deliver mom's meals to her apartment (it's already very expensive to live there). The fact that she could use a little more attention to her needs, such as making sure she isn't sitting in human wastes for hours while it soaked through many layers on the bed through to the mattress. I don't like that I have told them repeatedly what mom doesn't eat and they continue to serve her those foods which get thrown away and she misses a meal. I don't like from day one- no one encourages mom to do any activities: crafts, happy hour, etc. or even to go down to dining room for meals. I have asked repeatedly for help with this issue.

It's very nice, clean, and doesn't look like a nursing home environment.

Our loved one lived there for several years over the period of several owners and directors. The biggest positive was the amazingly caring dining room staff and the housekeeping /maintenance staff. There were some standout resident care aides but the turnover was dizzying and the outstanding ones were far and few between. Sadly., many care staff had a language barrier making it hard to converse and understand each other. The nursing elite was mostly stand-of fish and lacked the compassion of the outstanding aides. Happy hour was a weekly respite from the mundane and unimaginative activities. Food was mostly mediocre at best. I have to say some didn’t look fit to eat. Retention seemed to be a problem among Chef/cooks, as well as care staff. I visited several times a week so I have a first hand opinion of the place.

I would say I could recommend them without reservation. The amenity care was very secure and everyone comes together in the common area every day. It was also very clean and everyone was friendly and attentive.
