Highly recommended

My father loves being there. He was in a different ALF before Aravilla. His apartment is much larger and better laid out than his old place. It's a one bedroom with a huge walk-in closet. The bathroom is large and easy to maneuver with his walker. The facility is always spotless! He loves the quality and quantity of the food both in the dining room and the bistro. He's never bored as there are so many activities to choose from. He loves being able to take a stroll around the patio area as it has a lot of shade. The…

Highly recommend!

I loved everything about the community when I first toured it. But the most important part is that my dad loves it there! He was at another ALF before Aravilla, and it wasn't a bad place. In fact it was on par with some other facilities that I looked at. He says living at Aravilla is like living at a resort! It's always sparkling clean, the food is excellent, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and his apartment is perfect for him. He's so happy there!

Do your research....

Staff here is aloof and inattentive. Make sure you visit multiple times throughout the day to see how residents sit alone, unattended. Don't fall for the glorious tours... after you sign on the dotted line the attitude of the staff takes a hard 180. You've been warned.

Wonderful

My father receives great care from the staff. He really appreciates them and loves the facility. We sheltered there for the hurricane. You wouldn’t even know there was a storm outside unless you looked out the window. They took care of the extra guests and staff families that stayed during the storm with meals and entertainment. Power was not lost during the storm, but it was nice to know the facility has building generators.

The right choice

The staff have been very good, sometimes they are limited in their response but it is understandable. They are always courteous, respectful, and asking if they can be of some help. The food tends to be very good and it is presented well and is served restaurant style. Everything is wonderful, it is on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. They do have some good activities provided, but I do think they could have some more intellectual activities that could be a little more challenging for those who are abl…
