Positive

This place felt happy and alive with beautiful social areas and plenty of outdoor amenities to keep you moving and active. The apartments and villas are spacious with plenty of windows for natural light. Everything was clean and neat. Looks like a wonderful place to spend your final years with or without assistance when needed.

Our experience

We would rate everything 5 except Value for the money 4. The place was extremely clean. The personal were extremely helpful. They all made the experience easier for me as my husband went downhill so fast. Would recommend this place absolutely. I realize the price is high. It's just too bad the government doesn't help out in these situations.

Has room for improvements

Yes the staff in memory care should be a little more attentive. You have some really good staff members than some should not be there.

Review for Portside at Grande Dunes

Start with accommodations, first class adequate size one bedroom , nice kitchen, great bath and wonderful closet. Living room small but two large chairs or one love seat and chair. Very clean, well maintained and great activities. Staff is first class and very accommodating. Most residents in independent living are seemingly happy or at least content. Only negative is food. Marginal at best even though chef tries hard. I think he tried to do to much needs to keep it simple.

Very nice facility! It was our first visit to any assisted living facility. We made an appointment just one day before so they were very accommodating. Since it was our first visit [name removed] was very informative about assisted living.

92 and enjoying life in independent living

My mom is very happy with her apartment, activities, dining experience, cleaning service in her apartment once a week, and she always has positive things to say about the staff in every department. One thing to know is that rent has been increased by 10% each year for two years. I do think that is a bit high and not mentioned when moving in. It has caused some people to move. People need to ask and ensure they can afford this facility in subsequent years.
