As a member of the senior care industry, it is important to “speak to what we experience”. I recently toured and was impressed by the “homey” feel to the two houses. I say houses because they don’t feel institutional. The grounds are natural and not forced nature with an open courtyard in the rear of the Memory Care house. I enjoyed my tour and time with Stephanie (ED). My suggestion: check them out as each community has to feel like the right fit for your loved one and not our own preferences.

There is no better feeling than Discovery comments at Bradenton. It’s the sweetest little cottages nestled in West Bradenton. You feel like you’re at Home. The longevity of staff employment says enough on its own. There are so many employees that I’ve been there for 20+ years. If you haven’t Taken a tour yet you should! This community is absolutely one of my first referrals with someone is looking for assisted-living For memory care.

Stephanie and the team at Discovery Commons go above and beyond for all their residents. The smaller campus size is nice and not intimidating as we were looking for a place for my mom.

I was a former PCP that saw patients at this facility. I can attest that the staff actually care and will treat your loved one with respect and dignity. Stephanie the ED will ensure your family members are well taken care of and will do it with a smile. I have worked in so many facilities that may look fancy on the surface but the care from staff is abysmal. Discovery commons is truly above and beyond most. I highly recommend a tour to see for yourself!

Discovery Commons is a wonderful place. Love the cozy atmosphere. The Executive Director, Stephanie, Wellness Director, Liz along with the other staff wholeheartedly care about their residents. Staff goes the extra mile. Activities, dining, along with special family events are a lot of fun. Residents and families are very happy there. I would highly recommend this lovely community.

Update 10/14/24In the 14 months since placing my now 92 year old mother under Discovery Commons care, I have nothing but gratitude toward this community. My mother has been well fed, kept active and is thriving. The Executive Director Stephanie leads a team of dedicated caregivers who consider not only the residents but also their families as part of Discovery Commons. Twice I have taken refuge at their Cat 3 Hurricane-rated facility when I was under mandatory evacuation orders. If you seek a place for a loved one who needs more care than you can provide, Discovery Commons fills that role perfectly. They take care of their own.Original post from 2023.I am eternally grateful to Discovery Commons. I needed to place my mother in Memory Care last month on very short notice. The Executive Director, Stephanie, and Memory Care Nurse, Christine, along with the wonderful staff welcomed my mother and have provided her the environment and support she needed. With their help, my mother has improved and is now placed in Assisted Living at their facility. I highly recommend them to care for your loved ones.

If you are looking for a place where your loved one will be known, this is it. No one is left in the hallway in a wheelchair being ignored. The care team for my father really went above and beyond in knowing his personal interests and passions and talking to him about them. They showed compassion. They visited him on their own time during hospital stays. Actions speak louder than words.I found his room to be clean and his clothes were washed, regularly. The only complaint he had was the food. Some days, it was fabulous and thoughtful. But, some days, it seemed like the food budget had been cut, and they were eating sandwiches for dinner. We were always thankful he could order anytime off the "all day" menu, and he never complained about breakfast. It was his favorite meal of the day. I reminded my father that it's like eating in the cafeteria at college. Nothing is going to be great all the time. The important thing is there is food and it's being prepared for you!As with any place, there were some communication glitches, but they were dealt with quickly, which I appreciated. From an administrative perspective, I always heard back with answers to my questions, quickly. I felt respected as the overseer of my father's care.

Because if the small size of developments management is not monitored,! leaving holes in the operation…* the food is for the mist part not edible! . -*Personal care is superb!*there is a lovely garden area accessible to memory care. The rooms are large as the facility is oldest.*If food was COMPLETELY REVAMPED! & considerable more attn was given to detail & svcs by mgmt! this facility would indeed rank as five star.* Only one caregiver has been the opposite of kind & professional & has had free rein to exhibit this behavior & attempt to influence others with no mgmt interventionUPDATE: I walked in today today to a brown filled toilet & closed blinds again again, drawer contents strewn on the bed & the entire candy dish gone & found empty in the enclosed grounds behind the memory care bldg. Yes, we figured out the continued plundering culprits… Her room is. Or her own…* if I could post the pics I would do so…

Outstanding care, homey atmosphere,attentive, kind staff. We are visiting a family member here on family dinner night. Every staff member has been accommodating and helpful to us and our family member. The facility is lovely with a nice dining room/ snack area always set up with beverages and a variety of snacks for residents. The extensive schedule of daytime activities has really helped our family member settle in and thrive,including, music andgames. She has made a number of friends in a short time. The food was delicious corned beef and cabbage with potatoes andcarrots. Homemade biscuits and shamrock sugar cookiesfor desert. Everyone had seconds! We loved sitting on the lanai and enjoying the fresh air. Kirby , the therapy dog is a popular visitor.There are too many great things to list. This facility exceeds all expectations!! A happy place!

I moved my mother into Discovery Commons a little over two years ago, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. The staff is caring and attentive, and do their best to make sure that my mother is comfortable and happy. The facility itself is cozy and well-maintained, and there are plenty of activities and amenities to keep my mother engaged.

Discovery Commons is a first rate ALF first and foremost due to their caring and sincere staff . I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with everyone there and the head nurse , Christine , is totally dedicated to the patients in a environment that is at all times challenging , to say the least .

I am a healthcare professional with years of experience in the industry and work with many seniors in the greater Sarasota/ Bradenton area alongside a team of nurses, therapists, and physicians. It has been a tough year in this industry and few places stand out in the community that are doing it right. I rarely highly recommend any community that doesn't check all of the boxes...a clean, safe, and friendly enviroment with compassioniate and knowledgable staff. Great ammenities, modern and beautifully decorated. There are many communities that are Aesthetically pleasing but lack the same beauty in the people that support and care for the residents, I can say without any hesiation not only would I recommend this community without reservation to my clients... I would move in my own family. Today I toured the new Independent Apartment building it was amazing! So exciting to see such a well planned out space that seems to have captured every little detail to provide safety and to socially enrich their residents lives. From the pool with cabanas, numerous exterior sitting spaces (a beautiful firepit and grill) the large indoor gym, movie theater, and gorgeous dining area. A variety of apartment plans/sizes to accommodate anyone. Julie, Penny, Sammy Jo, and Parker are amazing and extremely informed and experienced in the senior housing industry! If you haven't toured this property yet and you are in any position to influence or assist seniors in finding a forever home please do so soon! I truly believe they have raised the bar in Senior housing!

My Dear sister, my best friend, has lived at Discovery Commons for over 3 years. She is content and happy, well cared for. The staff know her and respect her needs. Knowing she is in this small, caring environment gives me the strength to be by her side through this dreadful disease.

This is home. The staff is devoted and truly care about the residents. It's a happy place. A small community in a quiet intimate setting, delightful dining room, elegant living room. The spacious, private rooms with private baths have nice views of the lawns, trees and shaded back enclosed area. Hot wash cloths before meals, changing menus, served in a comfortable, clean dining room. Holidays celebrated with live music, refreshments and decorations. Your worries fade when your loved one is a resident at Discovery Commons. Kudos to Stephanie, Exec. Director, and her dedicated staff.

It is a very caring and accepted atmosphere where memory care patients are treated with dignity and respect. Activities are happening daily and residents are constantly being engaged. Our family couldn’t have made a better decision for our difficult situation. Mom is So very happy at her new home!

I am a healthcare professional who is working with some residents there for Physical Therapy. I am very pleased with the staff and how they treat their residents. The nurses are friendly and are timely when handling emergency situations. I would recommend both the memory care and assisted living for anyone who wants to age in place gracefully.
