Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale

In general, I have less positive things about Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. Their parking is in a garage. Once you park your car, you have to walk through the garage to get to the main entrance lobby. I find that not inviting, especially if you're having guests or company coming, and we were guests to that facility. I didn't know where to go to get into the building. It was not well signed. When I got to the reception area, the woman kind of looked at me and said "Oh, you have an appointment?" Like, it was a surprise, but then she finally checked and said, "Yes, you have an appointment and I will have someone come and give you a tour." The staff was OK. They were informative. They knew what they were doing. They answered all my questions. The facility was clean, but the hallways were very hotel-like. They're very long. The rooms, in general, seem to be small but along the hallways, they had a community living room area every so often so that if you had visitors, you would probably not stay in your room and would go to one of these. The rooms didn't have room for an extra sofa and a chair. It didn't feel homey. It was more of an institutional feeling.

Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale was beautiful because it's relatively new and it was high-end. I met a couple of staff and they were knowledgeable, friendly, and very good. This facility was surrounded by streets, so there was no courtyard. But it was very clean and neat, and it was very good.

I moved into Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. The staff here is wonderful, and I found many friends among the residents. I've been asked to be an ambassador, to welcome new members because they think I'm personable. They do accept dogs. They have a very small dog park here on the campus. My apartment is roomy with a kitchen. The floors are hardwood and I have a living room with a credenza and a television. I have a beautiful view of the boat harbor and the ocean. I'm doing a small loveseat, a couple of chairs, and lamps. I have a full-size bed, a big dresser, two nightstands, and a chair. Between the bathroom and the bedroom are two closets on either side, which is really nice. My bathroom is very large and very pretty. We have aqua aerobics, yoga and meditation, news and reviews, Jewish services, gardening club, bridge, movie nights, jewelry making, cheese and wine, and discussion groups.

My mom is now at Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. She was welcomed with open arms. Everyone was concerned about her and made sure she was checked on. They have a nurse's station immediately available to her if she needs it. The food is amazing. They're delicious, chef-prepared food. The facility itself is high-class. It's all the best, like the best furniture, the best artwork, the best everything. They want to make sure she is happy. They escort her to memory care in a group to the activities for the day, and then the group also goes to lunch together. They have a meal together. They have a movie every night that she can go see. There's a pool and there's a concierge that would take her out shopping if she wanted to. It's the opposite end of that other place. It's high-class and 100% the best senior living facility that I found during my search. The facility is beautiful, it's spotless, and it's wonderful. They came through with everything they promised.

I went to Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. I just visited the general facilities and independent living. I did not look specifically at assisted, but they have it all integrated, which is what I like. If you entered as independent living and you need assisted living, they send the assistance to you. You don't move to a different section or unit. My tour was excellent. There isn't anything I disliked. They have fantastic programs. They have lectures. They have wine tasting. They have bourbon and bites tasting. It's just an fantastic place with a view of the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The personnel is excellent. They're supportive, responsive, anything you would want, and caring. The food is superb. It's restaurant quality for sure. It's like a luxury hotel and it is relatively new, so that helps. It's beautifully decorated and outfitted with lovely wall hangings and furnishings. The area is excellent. It's within walking distance to the supermarket and liquor store, and it's just across the street from a beautiful mall with Dillard's and Macy's.

I went to see Belmont Village Fort Lauderdale. I liked this place. The actual apartments were nice. The facility was very nice. It seemed like they had a lot of interesting activities, and the staff was very nice and very friendly. The residents seemed to be quite happy there. Also, it's located in the city, so you get easy access to the city. It was like an apartment building. It didn't have a big campus, but it had a pool, a gym, and physical therapy. They had a lot of different levels of service depending upon what your needs are. My concern about it was that it's quite expensive for what you're getting.
