Abbey Delray South a CCRC

I have been a resident of Abbey Delray South for almost 2 years. I find it warm and inviting, and the residents are like family, who watch out for each other, especially for those who like me have no biological family nearby. There are multiple activities, lectures, and religious services for all different interests and abilities. The grounds and walking path are nature-loving and can be viewed from every apartment window. I would recommend ADS very highly.

The staff is wonderful and friendly. Part of the reason we came here as, when looking, the residents were friendly, offered to answer questions. We have many amenities many place don't have. A bridge director with duplicate twice a week, free classes in painting, beading, etc. the food is good and almost to plentiful. The have entertainment many nights with lecturers and singers also 2 times a month bingo and trivia alternating. Did I mention there are lots of things for the men? A men's club that meets monthly a pool room. Poker games etc! Bussed to plays if you wish (if course you buy your own tickets). Also if you don't drive you can be driven to Drs appts. We aren't nickel and dimed like many places. Everything is included. Weekly house. Keeping. Linens sent out weekly. We have lovely grounds. Many have dogs and have a great place to walk them! Outside bocce shuffleboard and a pretty putting green. Inside pickle ball. Good and many exercise classes. A library a 5 star health center And as I said best of all the other residents. My husband and I have a free standing villa and drive around the grounds in out golf cart. Probably forgot some things. We came here thru your Place For Mom and the girl we worked with was very helpful.

They are start to get back to the activities. There has been no instances of the virus. Come look at Abbey Delray South and see if it works for them. The age is all over the age of 55. I am in a villa of the community. The apartments are nice and the town homes are lovely. I was able to get everything I wanted to in my villa. We haven't met a lot of people due to the virus. The food has been faboulous and have been bringing food to us. We are able to heat dinner up and have lunch the next day. The linens are sent out once a week, and the housekeeping has been great. They will even remake the bed, and make the bed each time for us. Pets are allowed, and we have a dog we walk each time. The few people we have are very friendly. Everyone waves, even if you don't speak to. When we went to look at 25 and this community helped solidified our choice because they are very friendly. The other reason is because of they had villas. The health facility had a slight issue with the virus, and I feel it might have been brought in by a staff member. This was at the beginning of the virus. Again, the independent living have not had any issues. If you are in the independent living, you can still leave and keeping appointments.

My wife and I have lived in Abbey Delray South in Delray Beach, Florida, a life care community, for 18 years. We can honestly say it was the best decision we have ever made. Our two-bedroom, two-bath apartment overlooking a small lake and wonderfully maintained grounds provide a life style filled with close friendships, dedicated personal care and a sense of security. What made us choose this community were the welcoming residents who created that intangible feeling of belonging right from the day we moved in. There is much to do if you want or not and opportunities abound for social and intellectual experiences. All contribute to our happier and healthier life.

I want to applaud our Executive Director, [name removed] and all of the Team Members at Abbey Delray South, for keeping the residents safe during the Corona virus pandemic. They were continuously one step ahead of our Governor and Palm Beach County. Thank you for caring so much. [name removed]

Pandemic . . . I could never have achieved the level of safety I'm experiencing living alone. The n0n-socialization rules are strict and designed for the protection of all. Meals allowing three menu choices, plus soup, salad, dessert and a fruit are delivered to my door. Communications are delivered written, texted, voice mail and on internal TV channel, which channel continues to provide our exercise and educational classes. There is a daily voice/phone call to say "hello, how's your day; do you need anything?" And, I've been provided with a bracelet that sends a help signal if needed. Were I back in my apartment at the beach in Delray I would be alone and frightened and trying to stock food and essentials and self-diagnose. Thank goodness I'm here!
