My mother-in-law and her husband just moved into the Horizon Club after thoroughly researching the assisted living communities in the area. It is very comforting to find a person like Heidi Noel who loves her job and truly takes an interest to make sure that the new residents of the community are welcomed and assisted in getting acclimated. We were introduced to many of the current residents as we toured the facility and everyone loved living there. We are very comforted and feel we all have made a good decision.

This is the opinion of Hedy Cohn, not Kol Tikvah Sisterhood. My mother has been at Horizon Club in Independent Living for 8 years and I have written several times about how satisfied I have been with the staff and facility. A few weeks ago I took a 2 week cruise that my husband and I had put off several times due to Covid. I thought: What could happen to my mother in two weeks? Well of course, something did happen and she needed to be hospitalized while I was away. The Horizon Club arranged for her to be transported, and when she returned, as they thankfully have a home care agency in the building, she was able to get care and medication assistance until I got home. Although all staff is wonderful, Mary Beth is kind and welcoming, Erin is always there when needed; today I am writing to specifically thank Jean and restaurant staff. When I returned, my mother’s eating habits became erratic, and in an attempt to keep her going, I would take her to the restaurant at odd times, and my husband and I would eat with her to make sure she actually ate. Jean always helped and worked with us. In addition, this holiday season, when her son and his family came to visit, despite how busy they are there, he was able to arrange for all of us to all eat there together. What a boost this was for her! I want to thank Horizon Club, restaurant staff and all other staff for their dedication all these years and hope to be able to have my mother there as long as possible.

Horizon Club is an excellent facility with a friendly staff and administration, clean and updated facilities and the units/apartments are clean and modern. I routinely go to visit my friend there and am always greeted by the friendly front desk personnel. My resident friend comments about the excellent quality of the food and the service there.

Can’t say enough good things about the staff here. Moved my father here after looking at 10 different places and I’m sure I made the right decision. Everyone has a can do attitude and cares about the residents. Moved in with 2 days noticed and had to move from independent to assisted with 1 day notice and they made it happen. Sales, Danielle and Cindy, nursing Miriam and Belinda, Garrett, the restaurant staff, Erin in housekeeping, Mary Jo the director and everyone else all have helped our family and father make his reluctant move as easy as possible. The grounds are great, the common areas freshly remodeled and apartments are bigger and nicer than almost any facility I saw.

I loved everything about the Horizon Club independent Living Facility in Deerfield Beach for my Mom who lived here for over 5 years.The staff was excellent, and I would like to give a special thanks to Mary Beth Rutenis who has a great passion, kindness in helping meet the needs of all her residents. She is a remarkable leader of her staff who instilled in her staff responsive and caring attitude to all residents.The facility is clean and well layout for convenience of residents. They are continual making improvement to the facility.This is truly a 5 STAR Independent & Assisted Living Facility.

Im glad my Aunt Grace chose this Assistant Living!!

My Mom lived for about seven years at Horizon Club, and died there a year ago today at 95. There are definitely good and bad points to the place, but if you are reading this you probably just want to know if you should put your loved one there or someplace else, and I think that you would make a pretty good decision if you did, and you could definitely do a lot worse. When she finally decided that she had to move into a facility, we visited a number of places, and I preferred the Forum, which was perhaps a little more expensive, but my Mom said that knew people at Horizon Club, that all those places were the same, and so she moved there. The first two or three years were pretty good for her, even though she was losing her sight, and she had several ‘boyfriends. Somehow she had always convinced the staff that all she needed was independent living, and she got a pretty good deal in a small room overlooking the waterway for a yearly rate of only about $20K. Compared to something similar in New York, where I live, this would be nothing less than somewhere between one-third to one-fifth of what we could have found that is comparable here. Deerfield Beach is a little run down, but is a decent town, and close to some nicer places including Boca Raton.Old people like to complain. My Mom was not a happy camper her last three years as her health deteriorated with numerous problems that I wont get into. Some people on the staff are quite good and caring, some are new and dont know whats going on. Some of the residents yell at the staff. The aides are mostly from the islands, some are not easy to understand when they speak, and they probably dont make a lot of money, but thats just the way the employment market is for that. My Moms biggest complaint was that they didnt bring her what she asked from the waiters at dinner, and then, later, when she was confined to her room after she was unable to go down to the dining room, that they didnt bring the right food up to her room that she had ordered from the menu. I have to admit that I was not the primary contact person, and that my sister lived in Florida. But when I went there, it was as nice as you could expect. The food was plentiful and pretty good, a little bland for my taste, but thats likely due to dieticians for the elderly. Some of the residents smiled at me when I walked down the hall, happy to see a younger people in a place filled with the old. Some residents had more significant problems. My sister liked to complain about the costs.The grounds are really quite nice. There are two courtyards with a koi pond in one. If you can get a room overlooking the waterway, there are beautiful birds back there. Theres a pool, where my Mom liked to be on her better days with her gentleman friends, and various games like shuffleboard. Unfortunately, not many people are able to take advantage of the outdoors, but there are various groups that the ladies go to, and an entertainment schedule for the auditorium, a shuttle schedule to shopping. Yes, its all a little sad, people get old, but what can you do. Thats just our health care system.When her heath worsened, Horizon Club insisted on moving my Mom to assisted living in the Atrium, which is similar to a hospital ward. Its nice there, too, with a skylight and an open area in the middle of the ward. My Mom didnt last long after that, maybe about five months. There was constant coming and going of aides caring for her. I had more interactions during that time with Garrett and Mary Beth. One thing that did surprise me was how lean the staff is run. Mary Beth is the director of Horizon Club, and I guess you could say that her main man is Garrett, but it was not as if these people sat around in their offices all day. Mary Beth was at a station in the Atrium, and Garrett always was around doing something or filling in for somebody. Im sure its not an easy job for them.

Most reviews of assisted living facilities seem to be negative. I guesss people only take the time to comment when they are unhappy. This is wrong as well as very misleading. This is a real review by the child of a resident in the The Horizon Club Assisted Living Facility. The club has been a blessing. My mother (now 99) ran out of all her monies and had to go on medicaid about a year ago. I saw a bunch of small 6-8 bed assisted living facilities and a few larger ones but nothing my mother would have been happy with. (She is aware and alert and pretty much knows what is goin on). She was incredibly lucky that there was a room available at the club the day I visited. The medical care she is receiving is excellent. Every little issue is attended to right away before it becomes a big issue. I visit whenever I can and have seen that the facility is bright, spacious, clean, and the residents are engaged throughout the day. It is well kept and esthetically attractive inside and out. The outside entertainment (several times a week) is quite good and much better than I would have expected. The food seems very good and healthy and there are always quite a few options. Because I have visited quite a few times, I have observed the staff in action when emergencies or incidents arise and they are always calm and know exactly what they are doing. They are all very friendly and helpful to the residents as well as competent.Communication between myself and the club is excellent too. The nursing supervisor: Mrs. Davis, the Admissions Director; Mrs. McDermott, and the billing department always get back to me when I have questions and they always address what it is that I specifically ask about. The residents are taken out to lunch once a month and I think are taken out locally on occasion just for a change of scenery and to get out of the club for a few hours. The bottom line is that this is a very well run facility. The medical treatment and day to day needs are addressed promptly and correctly. The support staff; billing and admissions is excellent. I really dont think my mother would be around today if she were in another facility. She knows her circumstances and is very happy there and I have peace of mind.

The staff and the management were both caring and considerate during the Hurricane. They slept here with us at the community and checked on us everyday and made sure we had food and were taken care of. When the power came on, they cleaned out the fridge and made sure everything was taken care of and we had no bad food. They also took care of taking in all outside furniture and putting it back in after storm. The management is nothing short of being the best there is.

Best place to be, best home to live. Warm, caring and friendly staff, if you are looking for a home for your loved one come to The Horizon Club. Plenty of activities, you will always be busy having fun and enjoying life. Many choices of things to do, many friends to make and many games to play. That is why we call the Horizon Club our home

Living here is like being on a cruise ship that never leaves port. However you can leave the ship at the dock anytime and resume your previous life with family and friends. Then when you are ready re-board the ship to enjoy the life of retirement the way it was meant to be!

Again ... there is no way I can express everything I would need to express in this small review space. Still, I will attempt to do so: I do educational, entertainment presentations at many (over 40) senior communities in the South Florida region, alone, so I have been immersed in various senior living cultures and communities for many years now. When -- as a family, including my mom! -- we thought it would be best for my mother to move into a senior living community, there was no doubt about the best location for her. And, believe me, we looked at more than a few communities. I knew, in my heart, that The Horizon Club would be at the top of my list, but the decision was my moms, of course; no one was going to push her into one location or another. Needless to say, I was thrilled, (as were my brother and sister), that my mom noticed what I already knew from my own experience. She loved the vibe of The Horizon Club from the get-go. That includes the warm and caring staff ... but she noticed something about the resident community, too. And I truly believe that has a TON to do with the staff here. They are special and caring - so that, in turn, leads to a special experience for the residents, as well. It has been a year now and my mom is more involved with various activities, made friends - what else can I say? I highly recommend The Horizon Club to anyone looking to make this move. (Note: I wrote this review prior to our experience during Hurricane Irma. Needless to say, the care and attention provided to the residents during this stressful period ... it was tremendous. But ... the staff is like that all of the time, so I wasnt surprised at all. How do I know this? Because I was there with my mom, experiencing it all, first-hand.)

Thanks to all the Horizon Club staff during Hurricane Irma. My father lives at the Club and I felt completely confident that they would do everything possible to keep everyone safe and comfortable during a very difficult storm -- and they did! Thank you!

Not enough time or space to write about how terrific the staff and kitchen are. Even under the stress of the kitchen cooking and serving while the construction is going on, they are really coming through. The office staff came through with bells on when we first started dining in the auditorium. MaryBeth, Lisa, Danielle, Garret,Julia,Cheryl, Nuvia, Tim, Charlie,Yolanda, Jorge, and many others whose names escape me, all helped. Our young servers took so much heat from us residents, that I dont know how they handled it. But they all came through and now it is really getting smooth. The dining room and lounge will be gorgeous when all the upgrades are completed.

Moved my mom to the Horizon Club in Sept. 2016. Could not be happier with that decision. The service, the food the location and the facilities are truly five star! I highly recommend Horizon Club for senior living.
