Village Veranda is a beautiful community with spacious room great food and fun activities. Living here is very nice. We have a great staff. They are all friendly and helpful. The management staff are always striving for the best. However every place has a drawback or 2. Weekends have no group led activities and are pretty boring. Even weekdays don't have much to do. We do get a lot of live music, but not much crafting activities. We play a few games, but I wish there was more. Some care staff could use more training and incr... read more

We were very pleased with a smooth transition closer to us from another community for Mom & Dad in the last couple months. The Care Partners are very attentive to their needs, noticing, commenting on, and seeking intervention for them within their first few days of arriving in sharp contrast to their prior facility taking almost 10 months to notice. This level of attention seems to translate into other areas of care as well. For this, we are Grateful.

I really liked Village Veranda. It was a newer facility and absolutely gorgeous. The staff were extremely nice. But they had a waiting list for memory care and couldn’t get my loved one in right away. Otherwise we probably would have gone with them.

Village Veranda is an excellent facility. It basically has end of life capability and Medicaid capability. Only thing I found is when trying to get responses from the people who deal with medications, doctors and transportation can be an issue. For example: right now we're trying to get my loved ones prescription moved over from Walgreens to the Village Veranda system. We filled out all the necessary paperwork and there's been no replies to the emails and calls we've sent - it can be kind of frustrating at times.

We chose Village Veranda because of the things that they offered and also their price was a little less than some others in the area that we looked into. The room sizes in assisted living are adequate for her needs and she adjusting quite well. The executive director who stepped in in the beginning helped us a lot with the things that we needed to get done and was great. I would absolutely recommend the facility to others looking.

I believe this is a good, and safe place for your loved one. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The management can be hard to get a hold of, and sometimes the management can change positions. The communication with the caregivers and nurses is good and they are willing to answer questions about your loved one when they see you.

The biggest concern I have is with the care. What the community has to say they can do, they don't follow through with it. I'm not impressed with the way they have the med techs set up. Life Force is the primary doctor of the residents in the community. There are times when I don't hear back from the staff for a week or more. The building and rooms are gorgeous.

Our family had an in person tour and Village Veranda is a beautiful facility, but we did not choose it because they don't have an area for smokers.
