Senior Management Advisors

I am very happy with grand Villa I was taking care of my mom everyday so it became a lot to deal with. She has thrived since being a resident she has made friends and is truly happy and cared for. It truly is a weight lifted off me.

I was hesitant to move at first I was scared that I would be locked away and forgotten about.I am very glad to report that is there farthest thing from the truth. Everyone from the staff to the residents helped me feel welcomed!

My loved one passed away [date removed]. They were very good for her. The staff all seemed to be genuinely concerned for her well being and her needs at all times.

We are so fortunate to have had [name removed] to walk us through this process. She made this adjustment for my Mother and Family very welcoming. We are so lucky to of had her. [name removed] took her time and explained to us everything from start to finish, the love she had for my mother made me feel at peace with leaving. Thank you to [name removed] and all the wonderful staff.

It was really a super convenient location for us. 5 minutes away It was a good overall experience for me and my father until he passed

My loved one is currently a resident at Grand Villa of DeLand and everything has been great so far. We have had no issues and our loved one seems happy, well fed and participates in the activities. Based on the overall experience so far, I would recommend Grand Villa of DeLand to others.

The executive director to the staff are absolutely wonderful to work with. They take their time to talk with you with any questions you may have. My mom is in the memory care. The cleanliness is always clean & fresh. Also the aides are very attentive. When we visit my mom in her room she always clean & tidy. It's a wonderful facility for persons in need of various levels of health care.

Clean, modern looking, facility. Lots of open space/Courtyard for residents to go.

I am very lucky to have [name removed] as my guide to assist in the details for my mom's care at Grand Villa. [name removed] made the process as easy as possible and showed a great deal of care given the difficult circumstances. Thank you.

I think it’s wonderful here. We’re very pleased, good help, kind people, great food. The chef is great. We have an awesome apartment with a pretty view. We love the rooster haha and we hope the rooster stays. Haven’t had a chance to get to activities due to personal reasons but everyone says it’s great. I would love to try the arts and crafts.

Our family is extremely happy with our experience with A Place For Mom as well as with Merrill Gardens. Everyone with whom we've been in touch has been helpful, kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'd recommend A Place For Mom/Merrill Gardens to anyone looking for a seamless experience. The service helps you and your loved one to feel looked-after as you go through what is often an emotionally-charged process.

Had a few questions from my Sister who is moving in shortly. It was quick and informative.everyone is so very polite and nice! We looked at many ALFs and the location is good, very clean and many activities for her to partake in.

My mother was placed here over a year ago and we couldn't be happier. The staff is always supportive and helpful and it has been a while since I've seen my mom so comfortable. Glad we made the move!

My aunt is thriving at riverside. She was not keen on the idea, She got resident of the month, She is made one good friend and few others, And two weeks ago, she started teaching bridge since nobody there seemed to play. I would give it a five out of five rating.

GrandVilla is a couple of hours from my house. Selected the place because of the diversity of the residents and the Spanish speaking also among the staff. It was a great decision, always clean, attentive staff that will call if they have questions to help my mom, tons of activities and enjoyment for the residents. Definitely recommended!

My brother has been in residence at Grand Villa for nearly a month now. The people there are very helpful and go out of their way to aid my endeavor. I help with his care from a distance of 1200 miles away from where he is located. They make my task easier, because I know he is in caring hands. I No longer worry about his medications, his meals and his safety.

It was the right choice for our mom. She is in a safe, clean and friendly community. She is well taken care of and has the social stimulation she needs. We no longer need to worry. We know she is in good hands.

I love it here, the staff is amazing and friendly. Everyone here really does a good job and it shows each and every day. I've made tons of friends since moving here and life couldn't be any better, praise jesus and amen.

I have lived at Grand Villa Deland for years now. I've seen major improvements in the staff, employees and activities. I am very proud to live here and I enjoy seeing all the new tours come in to have a look around. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Grand Villa Deland is true to their slogan, "Looks like home. Feels like family."

I had a wonderful experience here at Grand Villa. [names removed] and everyone was very helpful. I feel very happy knowing my wife and soon I will be staying here with such compassionate people.
