I am currently a resident at Discovery Village at Dominion IL and everything has been great for me here at this facility so far. The staff at Discovery Village personify empathy, professionalism, and respect. The meals are well-prepared and are delicious. I have had the best BLT in my life and that is not an exaggeration! There are also many amenities that are offered here. The one that I am particularly thankful for is the transportation that they provide to shopping areas and medical appointments. I enjoy myself here and earnestly recommend Discovery Village at Dominion IL to others.... Read more

I would say move in immediately! It's very lively, the people are clearly happy, it's very elegant, the food is absolutely exquisite, and the whole environment is uplifting and not sad at all. We walked into some places that felt like the therapy scene in one flew over the cuckoo's nest!Also, [name removed], in the Houston area helped me find the place. I felt like I was talking to a long lost friend. This entire thing has been such a great experience!

The community is lively, friendly, and likes to do lots of things, your choice. We picked this community, because of the location, and the beautiful lay out of the building. Careful consideration, as the fix and repair group has its own way of doing things. Something they can do, is easily and quickly done. If they do not know how to fix it, they have to contract it out, and it may take after you leave to get it done.

Lovely facility. Most of the residents have lived there four or five years, which is a really good sign. Follow through by the administrative staff needs improvement. All in all, the residents are happy, and social activities are well planned and the facility is clean. I would definitely recommend this community but keep your eyes on Administration and make sure they follow through.
The staff are very friendly. The concierge at front desk make you welcome when you check in. I feel like it's a safe environment for my mom. EVERY single person that I have met that lives there have been so nice and friendly. We've eaten there with my mom a couple times and the staff there make me feel like I'm part of a family. They know my mom by name which is very comforting.

They have been horrible about doing repairs. My mom moved in the beginning of January and they have not fixed a broken window, broken granite in her kitchen and her outlets in her primary bath don't work. The staff overall has been great. My mother loves it there and has made a lot of new friends.

My loved one is making friends, going to different activities, and enjoying her nice apartment. The rent is reasonable for everything she gets to participate in. Of the three I narrowed the list down to, Discovery Village which was the newest, least expensive, and they have an indoor/outdoor pool.

Discovery Village is a beautiful place that looks like luxury living, the value for the money is excellent compared to some other places we had checked out. Sometimes the dining service can be slow but the food always looks and smells great. There are tons of different activities for the residents to do. They have multiple happy hours a couple times a week, they bring in live entertainment. There are different weekly outings to some of the different shops and restaurant's in the area. The calendar is always packed and they have calendars in the elevators to remind everyone what is going on. We would love at Discovery Village and would recommend them to other families.

I've had a very good experience. It was relatively painless getting established here, and so far so good. I like the casual atmosphere (as opposed to more formal places that I toured). I appreciate the presence of the long-time residents, as well as a lot of new ones. And I like the general convenience of just about everything. For activities, they have about anything somebody would like - bible study, trivial pursuit, outside field activities. They have a wide variety, and there is more than enough to do. Yet they don't force you to do it.

Discovery Village is in a great location in San Antonio. They provide outstanding service, food, and space, especially for the price. I was really surprised how inexpensive it is. My loved one has had one maintenance request so far, and they were really quick to resolve it. They were really apologetic and great to work with. She's gotten to know the kitchen staff really well, and they accommodate any of her requests. It truly seems like they're there for her needs, which is a refreshing change.

I chose Discovery village because of the location. It is close to doctors, dentists, shopping, restaurants, etc. It is in a quiet setting which I enjoy. The apartment sizes are very nice, the way they are laid out is very roomy and I do not feel cramped at all. I think they could improve on the cleanliness, I dont think the hallway that I live on or the elevator floors have been vacuumed since I have been here. I do take into the consideration how hard it is to find good help though. I would recommend to others looking but I would let others know that the age group here is definitely older.

This community was okay and it was a nice place but it was not the same amenities as another community that I found but it was around the same price. They also did not have a lot of activities and I wanted to make sure that my loved one had a lot to do.
Discovery Village is as good as the other communities in the area. I would recommend the community to others. There is a good variety of food for the residents to choose from. They do provide some care services such as medication distribution, that you may have to watch over.

This is not the place for active seniors! There are more walkers and scooters here you have to careful rounding a corner because you may get run over. All activities are geared for people who have limitations. After 6pm you will not see any residents moving about only their home health people leaving for the day. Definitely not a fun place to live!

It’s been a month since moving my father into the Isle at WaterCrest Assisted Living at Dominion. The experience with their executive management so far, is losing all integrity. I’m hoping this will change. The care staff is wonderful to my father. However, management needs improving in their promises to families. In addition, I truly believe if you treat your caregiver staff right - they’ll stay in the jobs they love, caring for their patients - our loved ones. But, it must start with management treating all staff, residents and their families with respect. Simple suggestions and common sense are ignored for the sake of the bottom line. I know it’s a business to make money, but sometimes a simple gesture makes all the difference in someone’s life.

Price is right but not an option for my Mom since she will need some services i.e., transportation, medication management, etc.
