The Phoenix at Delray

Aventine community is no ordinary place, it really is top notch first class. Everything they do is done in an elegant way, the community is always very clean. It has a modern feeling to it, but it is on the smaller side. It is quite a good value for what they offer. They have handled and are still handling the covid pandemic very seriously. They take a personal approach to any issues or concerns that may come up. It really is just a good community.

I was here [dates removed] to visit my mom. She moved in 6 months earlier after selling her condo. I booked one of the guest suits, which is the same as a 1 bedroom apt. It was more convenient than staying at a local hotel and gave me the opportunity to really see what is going on here. I received nothing for this review although you might think I have. All the staff I met (administrative, maintenance, food services and cleaning) were friendly. While each apt. comes with a full kitchen, the monthly rent includes breakfast and dinner. I had several dinners with my mom at her table in the main dining hall. There were also 5 other women there. After the 2nd dinner I quietly commented to the waitress that she had the patience of a saint. From what I experienced, all of the wait staff were friendly. The food is VERY good with varied menus each day. The white linen table cloths pass my mom's high standards. There is the aptly named "happy hour" daily at 4:00pm when wine and snacks are served. Since moving in my mom has begun to socialize again, having made new friends and leaving her apt. to participate in the various activities offered within the community. I am happy my mom moved here.

The place is very nice . New facilities but the social aspect has a lot to be desired. If ur a man forget going to the activities. No one shows up! They have to cancel. The men that are there are cliquey, my father was introduced to them when he visited and they didn’t even talk to him when they ate. He tried to get a card game going, nobodyI responded. Sometimes someone will join him in the exercise room. I convinced him to move there as he was sitting in his house doing nothing. Here he does a little bit more than nothing. Have to pay more money for him to join the community center in the area so he doesn’t spend the whole day watching tv
