My grandma ada, lives here, this place is the most accommodating to her need, they constantly check in on her, they offer so many activities and things to keep her occupied. She is genuinely happy here. She still has here since of independence, without being alone. I have never seen a place with such caring and truly loving staff members. The food is also amazing, It is always well made, not just cheaply made microwave meals like ive seen at other homes. This place is worth every expense we pay for. I recommend this place to anyone who really cares about a family member, but doesn't have the time to dedicate the time it takes to care for someone else. I love this place and the customer service.

My mother moved in to Discovery Commons about six months ago. Everyone was a little worried about how the transition would go, but there was really nothing to worry about. My mother was welcomed by the staff and the residents and has been so happily cared for, we feel it has been a perfect fit. The staff is consistently kind and very professional, they take excellent care of my mother and always leave her in a great mood. Plus, she gets a lot of extra ice cream, which we appreciate! The facilities have been completely redone on the inside and look fabulous and are kept exceptionally clean. The exterior grounds have beautiful, mature trees, and everything looks manicured. We love having our mom gather with her friends on the front porch, even in warm weather there’s a lovely group of residents ready to chat or just wave hello. This is where my 95 yo mother is safe, loved, and happy. It is all about the staff: they are fantastic.

Discovery Commons Virginia Beach is good with communication. My mom unexpectedly needed senior assisted living care asap. I called multiple facilities to only be transferred to voicemail. Brooke from DCVB returned my call and scheduled a tour of the facility very quickly. It was less than two weeks later before I was able to move my mom in. I would recommend DCVB for senior assisted living.

My mother moved to Discovery Commons Assisted Living apartment one month ago. She left her home of 39 years, so we were expecting the transition to be very difficult. It has not been! The residents and staff are so kind, and welcoming. Everyone is happy and friendly- so sweet to my Mom. Yes, it was a huge change, but the "vibe" is one of kindness, friendliness and support. Residents are encouraged to come down to meals, and sit with their table-mates for social interaction. We no longer have to manage her medicine- it is handled and dispensed by staff. Pets are allowed, so visits with our dogs is fun. Our move was managed by a senior downsizing company called "Smooth Transitions", who coordinated with the staff at DC. They made it so easy. Glenn at Smooth Transitions created a mini version of her beloved home, with all of her art and furniture. We were blown away when we saw it. Glenn made it happen in one day. Her room is beautiful, plus as an extra bonus the entire facility is in the midst of a major upgrade- new flooring, carpet, paint, tile and furniture! I looked at other Assisted Living facilities in the Va. Beach area; Discovery Commons is a facility where kindness rules the day. My mother and the family are very happy with our decision!

My lifelong friend, Karen, moved to Discovery Commons around 9 months ago. The staff at Discovery Commons were great to work with from the introduction to the facility, the move in and getting acclimated in her new home. Any challenges expressed have been dealt with quickly and with kindness and compassion for the best outcome for Karen. Having on-site nurses and doctors is helpful and makes it much easier to get medical help. The pet friendly facility is quaint, clean and happy. The fact that Karen was able to keep her small dog makes her life complete and enhances the lives of other residents. Karen and I are pleased with Discovery Commons and think you will be too.

My relative moved into Discovery one month ago. She has always been timid and fearful of new situations, but at Discovery, she has found a secure, warm enviroment! She has made friends in the Craft Room and she enjoys Bingo on Saturday! She even won last week! The staff is responsive to her needs and I am able to communicate my questions to the nursing staff. She is safe and happy!

From first contact to moving in the staff have been nothing but helpful, supportive, understanding and attentive. The level of care and support there is exactly what my family was looking for. Even when I drop in for visits they ask how I’m doing and update me on any issues and the activities of the day. They even have treats for my dog when I bring him to visit.

My mother moved to Discovery Commons a couple of weeks ago and lives in a studio apartment in assisted living. We have been very impressed with this facility from the first tour. It is bright, inviting and well-maintained. Everyone, management and staff, is friendly, caring and accomodating. Mom's apartment is fresh and clean (a new floor was installed and walls painted prior to her move-in) with plenty of storage and a great bathroom. We were able to decorate it with family photos and things familiar to her. There are many activities and the residents seem happy. Great move for mom.

As a professional senior healthcare consultant and hospice care provider, I work quite closely with the staff at this lovely community and visit with residents often. Administrator Cat, Brooke, Carol, Velma and the entire awesome Discovery team provide sincere care to our patients in both assisted living and memory. We so enjoy working alongside to ensure everyone is taken care of like our own family members.

The cooks in the kitchen led by our chef Eric do a great job preparing us delicious meals. The dining staff does a wonderful job getting us those delicious meals. The nurses, med techs, and cnas all do a good job with a few that really go above and beyond( Ginny G., Susan, Megan, Josh, Vicky, Jamie).
