Don't send your loved one to live independently there. There are only Queen bees and mean girls. They steal from the dining room, silverware, soda and milk, put up hand made, reserve signs, on dining tables. The management does not care, at all.

Don't send your loved one to live independently there. There are only Queen bees and mean girls. They steal from the dining room, silverware, soda and milk, put up hand made, reserve signs, on dining tables. The management does not care, at all. They had to give out dining cards because so many residents, especially Fred, were coming in and eating meals they hadn't paid for.. They enable bullies and thieves. There are different rules for different people. If your loved one is out for everything he or she can get, and thinks that one gets taller by calling someone short, thinner by calling someone fat, smarter by calling some dumb and nicer by calling someone a bitch, then GS Deland is for him or her. If your loved is kind, thoughtful, considerate, and loving, Good Samaritan is the wrong place. There are kinder facilities and kinder women out there.
