The Cloisters Of Deland

The Cloisters of DeLand has been sold and it is now known as Aventine of DeLand. It is no longer a 55 or over facility. When I originally looked at the Cloisters, in May of 2022, I decided to move there because at 80, I like the fact they had assisted living. I moved into a 3 room Villa, 800 sq. ft. was just right for me and my little dog. My rent tis $2510.00 a month which includes a meal plan, all your electric, water, etc and basic cable. I was only here a month when we were told that the Cloisters were in the process of being bought by a company called Pacifica. We were advised Assisted Living will no longer be offered and all the assisted living residents had to find a new place. Had I been advised that this was in the offing, I probably would have kept looking, but I love my little villa. Here is my problem.. They are renting out villas like mine for 1290.00a month. this is with no amenities. The Director has remained is now working for Pasifica. The communication here is almost non exisitent. I like my villa and at 80 I really don't want to move again. I thought that the rent diffrences were quite large, and being on a fixed income, I was willing to give up all the amentities, most of which I didn't partake of, other than Dinner. I went to see the director and asked if I could do that, he said that I would have to wait until my lease is up for renewal in June. .... I justed wanted people to know if they are looking for Independent and Assisted Living you won't find it here at Avenite at DeLand (formerly The Cloisters) But if your looking for an apartment have at it.

Many times have I visited my brother and mother, who have been living at the Cloisters for over two years and note that the meals are delicious and the staff kind, friendly and helpful. The visiting family apartment is a tremendous benefit, and very reasonably priced.
