What Our Residents Say

"From the minute we made the first phone call, Discovery Village Assisted Living and all those who work there became a part of our family! They quickly got us moved in and the additional care my mom needed to thrive. She had gone from barely able to walk and interact to being one of the most active members of the community. Every person who has supported us there has been amazing and has exceeded our expectations."

Daughter of a Resident
"June 2025, My mother is in the SHINE program at DV Deerwood Memory care, the staff, led by Heidi are very attentive to my mother as challenging as she can be! She's always clean! I have referred friends because I am confident that my mom is cared for even if I'm not there!

After arriving at Discovery, my parents are thriving! Rebecca and Michelle and Lloyd were a tremendous help for me! They have gone above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect!! I couldn't do this without them!!!! Thank you Discovery!

The nurses are very attentive in AL and MC! I love that they feel at home! The cooks and dining room staff are top notch!"

Tamara F.
Daughter of a Resident
"My now 92 year old widowed father has been living at Discovery Village at Deerwood since early July 2023. Quite discerning and not always an easy person to please, he is quite comfortable, content, and appreciative of the accommodations within the community.

From my side, what I’ve found remarkable is the overall spirit, professionalism, warmth, empathy, openness, flexibility, and dedication of the staff, from top down and bottom up, including the room servers, nurses and assistants, wait staff, culinary servicers, activities and entertainment staff, faculties personnel, and management, all who work well with residents and one another, a good number who, along with various of the residents, are inspiring and excellent examples and role models in what they do and have to say.

The premises are modern, attractive, upbeat, unpretentious, and welcoming for residents and visitors alike. Issues arise, general or specific, and each is brought to the attention of management and/or staff, is considered in due order and understanding, and a fitting modification is provided."
