My father's perfect home

Discovery Commons is absolutely the best. My father was in [community removed], and we moved him out of there because that place turned into a nightmare. He was so neglected and ended up in the hospital. Discovery is absolutely amazing. The director is on board with everything. She and the staff are absolutely wonderful and my dad is actually being taken care of now the way he should be. I feel so sorry for the memory care patients at Summerfield. That place is absolutely horrible and the residents are taken care o

Review for Discovery Commons at Bradenton

The staff is very accommodating and understands exactly what your family member needs. They keep me informed, even during a hurricane. They keep my mother involved in the activities. When you walk in to the facility it feels like home and that is what drew me in to make the decision

Home for mom

[name removed] and all the staff are so caring. They have made my mom feel comfortable in this transition to assisted living. During this past hurricane I was very well informed on how their facility was doing. It made me feel that she was secure and safe. I am blessed to find such a loving facility that cares for my mom. My mom loves all the activities and especially when the therapy dog, Thor, comes to visit.

The Caregivers

My daughters and I chose Discovery Commons memory care for my wife who has Lewy Body Demencia. It appeared to have a very homelike environment with caregivers who really cared. We made a great choice . It’s the people there that make this care facility so wonderful .
