My mother has been her 11 days and she has been treated like a princess. In fact, our entire family has been given the royal treatment from fresh coffee and orange juice deliver to her room, to attentive loving nurses, doctors, and staff.
The staff are so wonderfully kind, caring, and flexible about our needs that I think Villa South deserves the highest rating.
5 on everything. It is very expensive in Memory Care, but the facility and staff are outstanding. I have zero complaints about anything. We chose Viera for the ease of moving from Assisted Living to Memory Care. Some of the staff work in both units which is a big comfort for the residents when moving.
