What Our Residents Say

group of seniors enjoying coffee
“I became a resident of Discovery Village at the West End in April, 2017.  I moved into a spacious apartment with a balcony on the third floor. I immediately felt welcome. Residents and employees are very friendly and caring. We are a close-knit group. We help each other. There are a variety of activities scheduled monthly including worship times, a movie theater, library, many games and hobby times, trips off campus, cooking demonstrations, book and poetry clubs, a lovely Dining Room, an Exercise Room, and a large meeting room with a bar, excellent for parties, socials, meetings, and performances. We also have transportation available to take us to appointments and shopping. We have maintenance men ready to repair, etc."
Carole Jean U.
Resident
“My mom has been a resident in Discovery Village’s Memory Care unit since June and we could not be happier with the care she receives. They treat her with kindness and dignity and we are so completely grateful for that! We spend quite a bit of time there visiting my mom and I have watched them care for ALL of the residents with kindness and dignity. It is evident that they have a passion for what they do."
Sheila W.
Daughter of Resident

“My family is very pleased with the care my Dad received in memory care at Discovery Village. They treated my dad and other residents with dignity and respect. They also provided a lot of support to my family. We got many caring hugs from staff during difficult moments. Thank you all for taking such good care of my Dad.”
