I was blessed to have this facility for my mom. My mother, Beverly Stackhouse lived there for almost 5 years staying in the memory care. I can’t say enough how wonderful the staff was and the caring, respect, and yes love for these sweet residents. I would like to thank Kathy, Rho, Judy, Kelly and the rest of the staff. Beautiful people. I tell many friends if they need a home for their love ones, Discovery Commons is a wonderful and caring place. My love and respect to all. Nancy Gajda

Discovery Commons is an answer to prayer! After a sudden change in my Dad's health, he wasn't able to remain at home alone. Because Discovery Commons is an ECC (Extended Care Community), he is able to receive greater care and attention with the higher level of license that the facility holds. This has allowed Dad to remain somewhat independent, and have his needs addressed appropriately. Melissa Vanderbilt-Bestor, the Senior Lifestyle Counselor, is fantastic to work with! She is attentive, communicative, trustworthy and patient. She genuinely cares about the residents, and she is a wonderful ambassador for Discovery Commons and senior living.

My mother -in- law needed a place to live after rehab. My wife was talking to a contract aide who travels from place to place + she said get Mom into Discovery Commons in North Port because the food is great, the building is brand new + the staff is friendly + caring. We took her advice + she was right. Much thanks to Melissa for all her help.

I would like to personally say thank you to Melissa Vanderbilt-Bestor for her compassionate approach when touring with families who are having to place a loved one in a community with a focus on memory care. Melissa can guide families to understand what their loved ones are going through and that understanding brings a whole new outlook. Sometimes in the most difficult of times, you can leave knowing that you found a place that your loved one will be understood and cared for. Thank you Melissa and your team!

I recently moved my 93-year-old mom from Fresno, CA to The Springs at South Biscayne, North Port, FL. I was greatly assisted by Mr. Steve Barboe, Senior Sales Consultant, who has absolutely done everything to make this a smooth transition for mom. My mom lived in a single-family home she and my dad built 43 years ago. Not easy leaving all that behind. Mom couldn’t live alone anymore and she opted to move close to me; I’m in North Port too, where I could best assist her in her twilight years. From the entire business staff, medical staff, cleaning and maintenance staff, kitchen staff, one would be hard-pressed to find a better place. There are an abundant number of fine assisted living facilities in SW Florida, but The Springs at South Biscayne is a facility you should seriously consider for a loved one, friend, or to just pass along to persons having to make these hard decisions. It is my mom’s “home” now and most importantly she likes it. Assisted living facilities don’t always have great reputations, but this facility is not like others. It’s new, clean, and very nice. Apartments are decent size and as my mom will say, “the food is very good.” That’s a real plus for our loved ones. Mom can order from a menu and if the daily choices aren’t to her liking, then she can have a burger, soup, BLT, chicken or egg salad sandwich. And ice cream whenever she wants. Mom really likes that. The medical staff closely monitors all residents and does everything they can to keep mom healthy and strong. If you don’t believe what I’m writing, check it out yourself. This is very important to me as this is my mom’s home and her life. Speak with Steve Barboe for assistance and he’ll work with you however he can. If my mom should ever need memory care, which I hope doesn’t happen, The Springs has a very highly rated onsite memory care facility as well. Putting a loved one in an assisted living facility isn’t easy, but I’m pleased where my mom is at.

I met Melissa when my husband was in an emergency hospital situation two weeks ago. A friend contacted Melissa from the Springs and explained our situation. Melissa called me immediately, explained how her facility could help us, met with me several times, and continued to assist and guide us through the entire process of registering my husband for this facility. The time she spent connecting hospital requirements, assessments, ambulance services, room set-ups, etc is immeasurable. She was and is professional, absolutely pleasant, and up-beat at all times. Her persistence, dedication, and love towards our needs were a wonderful comfort as weve made the life changes needed for my husband of 58 years. Thank You Melissa, for who you are and what youve done. Blessings Grant and Cathy Lerch

The management at staff at the Springs at South Biscayne are second to none. I’ve seen them no action, and they have all been well trained. The Executive Director, Jennifer Kennamer puts the priorities of the residents over everything else. For example, last year during Hurricane Irma, she had her stiff get all of the residents from their apartment to the hallway, as that was the safest place to be. She had staff on all three floors entertaining them with jokes, song singing, etc., to help ease their fears, and she had deli sandwiches, cookies, bottled water, chips, and continually visited each floor personally to make sure all the residents were doing fine. That is just one example of how Jennifer cares for her people. I have many more, but that one will be sufficient for now. I would recommend anyone looking for an assisted living community for a friend, family member, or themselves, I would definitely refer them to the Springs!

The whole family accompanied us when my dad went to check it out. We were pleasantly surprise as to how nice it is. Melissa has gone out of her way at every turn to help make my dads transition an easy one. He likes his studio apartment very much and the staff is friendly and helpful at all turns. Our family highly recommends the springs

Walking through the main entrance, we were awed at what we saw. Bright and well decorated. The staff were all so helpful and smiling. Residents that we saw all seemed so happy and told us the Springs is where we should be..The dining room was large and welcoming. Linen tablecloths and napkins - not paper like other residences we have visited. The food was a gourmet delight. The Springs was more like a 5 star hotel. So many activities to keep the residents active and enjoying life. I could go on and on describing this place. Thanks to the helpful tours by both Bill and later Steve, we plan to move here, soon
