Grand Villa of DeLand

350 E International Speedway Blvd, Deland, FL 32724
Overview of Grand Villa of DeLand

Grand Villa of DeLand is a community in DeLand, FL, with adult day care, memory care, assisted living, respite care, and independent living. Assistance with dressing, bathing, and medication management is included in assisted living, along with a studio or one-bedroom unit.

Memory care keeps a resident at risk of wandering secured and supervised. Independent living refers to a personal residence and community services, without daily assistance. Adult day care operates during the day, and the individual returns home in the evening. Respite care gives temporary support when a family caregiver needs to take a trip or recuperate. Since care can change within one community, a resident requiring more support isn’t compelled to leave.

Payment may be obtained via insurance or HMO plans, Medicaid, or benefits from Veterans Affairs. Keith Fedigan serves as the administrator, while Gv Deland, LLC operates the community.

Grand Villa has 170 beds, meaning it caters to a more extensive population of residents and staff in comparison to a smaller community, along with a more comprehensive program. Housing consists of studio or one-bedroom units. A studio is one individual area, while a one-bedroom includes an additional separate bedroom. The Walk Score for this location is 43. That is car-dependent, and anyone who has stopped driving will need transportation for most errands.

A pool exists for swimming. There’s an on-site theater, the calendar has movie screenings and live musical performances, and the community has a wellness center along with exercise classes.

Overview of Woodland Towers

Woodland Towers offers assisted living and independent living in DeLand, FL. In assisted living, residents can receive help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while living in their own apartment; independent living provides private housing with community services for residents who do not need daily care. Having both care levels can suit a resident whose support needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The 190-bed community has one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences, including layouts that can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Medicaid is accepted, which gives eligible residents a way to help pay for covered care when personal savings may not cover the full cost. Tammy Cornett serves as administrator, and the community is operated by Indigo Center For Senior Living.

Residents can use a heated swimming pool, private screened patios or balconies, and multiple dining rooms serving chef-prepared meals. Transportation to nearby medical appointments is provided, so residents have an arranged option for those visits, and pets are allowed. A car-dependent Walk Score of 40 means most errands require a car or a ride, making the setting more suitable for residents who have access to transportation for shopping and other off-site needs.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Florida Medicaid cover assisted living?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Florida) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
