Discovery Village Vero Beach provides assisted-living care with a clinical focus on residents who need consistent monitoring and hands-on help. The team manages special diets and supports diabetics using oral medications, and staff are equipped to serve individuals living with moderate dementia. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments, and the community is able to accept residents who have psychiatric conditions. Direct care staff can furnish full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained in safe transfers whether a resident walks with a walker, uses a wheelchair, or only needs standby supervision.
Registered or licensed nurses are on site, and a nurse is on call at all times. Overnight, an awake night shift monitors residents, and background-checked personnel maintain 24-hour security. Pull cords and personal emergency response systems immediately alert staff, while a wander-guard system and fenced outdoor areas help protect residents who are prone to wandering. An activity director plans daily programs that are matched to the abilities of residents, including those with cognitive decline, to help keep everyone engaged and supervised.
Residences are available in several layouts; some offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm details during a tour. All apartments are wheelchair accessible, and maintenance is handled by the community.
Dining services accommodate both set menu selections and made-to-order requests, and snacks are available between meals. Therapeutic diets and texture modifications are prepared as ordered by a physician, ensuring consistency for residents with diabetes or other dietary restrictions. For those living in the independent-living wing, optional housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan are offered to lighten daily responsibilities while still preserving autonomy.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, on-site religious services, a pool, and transportation with links to nearby public transit. Apartments feature full kitchens, patios, and washer/dryer hookups, and the entire community is wheelchair accessible. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
