The staff (most not all) are rude and do not communicate with family members about their loved one. They do not return phone calls. They talk rudely to the residents and about the residents to other staff members. My loved one sat in their soiled brief for over 2 hours on more than one instance because the nurse would not answer their call to take them to the restroom, which resulted in an infection. My loved one has also been given the wrong medication which resulted in an ER trip. Seniors deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, not like they are children without a say. Do yourself and your family member a favor and do not send them here for nursing/rehabilitation. I can't speak about the other parts but this area is horrible.

As of today 11-4-22 the residents are still not allowed to go to their apartments even to pick up their belongings. Many are living in hotels. The Mayflower neglected to take care of flooding which has happened in the past but this time it fried their electrical, the generator and the elevators. Here is the latest update from CEO Steve Kramer on 11-4-22: This week, we continued to make progress on repairs to our electrical system. We received two tractor trailer loads of temporary electrical gear, which are being prepared for installation once the demolition of the existing electrical equipment is complete. We expect demolition to be complete and equipment installation to begin by the middle of next week. Once temporary gear is installed and activated, we will be able to initiate elevator repairs. Again, much of this work is happening simultaneously. As you know, we originally asked residents to prepare to vacate their apartments for three to four weeks, based on information we had at the time. Next week will be the four-week mark - and while we have made monumental progress in a relatively short amount of time, given the scope of our repairs, we clearly will not be able to have residents return yet. Because we are still awaiting confirmation on lead times for some critical repair components, we cannot yet provide a specific return date - but our contractors and suppliers are working with us to expedite the process as much as possible. As soon as we are able to solidify the timeline, you will know. We've had a number of inquiries regarding concerns about the possibility for mold growth in the apartments. Please know that we are regularly monitoring the apartment towers, and both our Building Services Director and Director of Construction agree that this should not be a concern in the apartments. Additionally, the garage and areas that were inundated with water have been remediated and treated as well. Many of you have been visiting the new Mayflower healthcare building. If you do: As a matter of safety, please do not park in the designated Fire Lane when you first enter the new building's parking lot. The City of Winter Park has been issuing citations to vehicles parked in that area. Finally, I'd like to share some good news: Last night, the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce held their annual Best of Winter Park reception. I am happy to let you know that, once again, The Mayflower was voted Best Senior Living! Congratulations! You are all a big part of helping us achieve this recognition.

Great entertainment for the residents and guests. In the past several months, we have had a few friends become residences at Grand Living and it's certainly the place I will plan to go when it's my time to relax and enjoy the later Golden Years. Everyone at Grand Living is wonderful. The facility is impeccable and very impressive in so many ways. Always neat, clean, well staffed, and a smile on everyone's face! Residents and staff! Great location and facilities. If you should visit there for yourself or your elderly loved ones, you will think you are going to a five star resort. This is the way I personally think a home for retirement should look, feel and offer life in the slower lane. Thank you, Grand Living. Bob, and the band

I'm not ready for this yet and my parents unfortunately are deceased but if you are looking for quality with a staff that have been there multiple years then Grand living should be your number one choice.

I have also met several friendly folks and attended several community functions. Lot rents are reasonable and will increase each year, but they include many extras. And, it is located a short distance from shopping, restaurants, the Daytona International Speedway and the famous Daytona Beach. Unfortunately, its convenient location makes it an easy target for thieves preying on older "snowbird" residents. My home was burglarized within 4 months of being purchased, but thief's face was captured on my security camera. He has since been arrested thanks to great work by the Daytona Police Department. If you're looking for a 55+ Community in Daytona Beach, this Community is worthy of your consideration.
