The reviews for Veranda of Pensacola and Victoria House present a mixed picture. Some reviewers praise Veranda for its friendly staff, beautiful facility, and engaging activities, likening it to a resort or college dorm for seniors. They commend the quality of care, food, and the sense of community, with some residents and staff expressing long-term satisfaction and appreciation for the environment. Conversely, other reviews highlight significant concerns, particularly regarding Veranda. Criticisms include poor management, understaffing, and inadequate response times to residents' needs, with some alleging neglect and dishonesty about care capabilities. Issues with food quality, theft, and high costs for additional care are also mentioned. Some reviewers recount distressing experiences, such as being forced to move out during a pandemic or dealing with unresponsive staff. Victoria House receives generally positive feedback, with reviewers noting its clean facility, caring staff, and well-designed dementia ward.

Such a disappointment. First they lie to get you to leave your parent in their care and then as soon as your parent requires any level of effort they want them gone. They said they were the only facility in Pensacola with the licensure to allow someone to age in place and provide the highest level of care. Not only do they not have that particular licensure, they can’t keep their staff. Many many times there has only been one person on a whole floor to care for over 100 old people. While there are certainly some very sweet people working there, there are an equal number of highly impatient staff who act put out if they are called for assistance. The food is downright terrible on the Assisted Living floor. It is often cold and gives my parent constant diarrhea. The sales department claims they have a 3 minute call response time, when in fact it is closer to 30 minutes. Much like the other reviewer, I am now hearing that several other people have moved out recently.

The Veranda told us our family member could live here “age in place” with a level of service appropriate for dementia unless they became bedridden or wandered (tried to escape) in a way that was dangerous. Their commitment to my family was not kept and our loved one was forced to leave despite the advice of the physician and despite they were neither bedridden or trying to wander out of the facility. I have learned from two other families the sales pitch was the same. One of the families were just forced to move their loved ones out despite not meeting the criteria for skilled nursing care. I firmly believe they could have fulfilled their commitment but were unwilling and understaffed to do so. I don’t recommend this facility for a loved one with dementia. They misrepresented themselves and finally forced my love one to leave despite the progress made and advice of her physician. In their month of residence there I found on two occasions her clean clothes depleted and not properly assisted with daily living. They are more appropriate for independent living and should not be allowed to provide assisted living services. To be fair I must admit there are lovely people who work there and the food and facilities are top notch.
