"I visited Sodalis Tallahassee Assisted Living. The layout was great, everything was on the first floor so it's all spread out. It's updated and I think they recently remodeled so it's beautiful. They have a great and open area, and it's just very welcoming. The person who met me there was phenomenal. She gave me a tour and the way she has corresponded with me since then has been spot on. I never had to wait for a response from her. I like that place."

"I went to Azalea Gardens. They were outstanding. I can easily see my mom settling in there. They offered activities for her. They offered her food that she would be interested in. The place itself was clean, attentive, and had no problem. The staff was very friendly. That was like one of our A-plus places we'd like to send her. It was more of a community-type environment that she wouldn't be by herself. She'd be with groups. The rooms that they'll stay in, the doors were always open. It was very clean and very spacious. The food was very appealing. It would be something that my mom and dad would eat. I think that they would enjoy it. I've been to one place where the food was a little bit too fancy for my parents, and I know that they wouldn't be comfortable there at all. The staff has followed up with us several times and was very informative. If we needed anything, even if we decided not to go with them, she would help us out. Just overall, the staff was outstanding."

"We have chosen Canterfield of Tallahassee. It is a beautiful facility. As soon as you walk in, it's very bright. There are lots of windows, and the colors are light. It's very welcoming as soon as you walk in, and everything is very clean. I like that there are plenty of seating areas throughout the facility for visitors or the residents just to relax, and there's a seating area outside, too. The staff that I've met seemed very caring and knowledgeable. Those were all the things that we took into consideration. The staff who took us around was very sweet and caring. She talked to my dad a lot and didn't just ignore him or anything. She engaged him. She introduced us to the staff that we came across and she introduced us to residents, too. She showed us more than one room to see what my dad would prefer. She was overall very pleasant. My dad and I have eaten there twice when we were there, and the food was very good. The cleanliness is a 5, and the layout is fine. The only thing I don't like there is that they don't have a lot of parking, but I can deal with that."

"From the tour that I took, I was thoroughly impressed with The Grove at Canopy. The willingness of the staff to assist me and help me just gave me a great feeling when I walked inside the place. I think that most of the buildings were very well-maintained and very clean. The overall appearance was very nice. They have everything there. They have a salon, a movie theater, and a restaurant. Their dining room appeared to be more like a restaurant where you walk in and there's somebody there that helps you get seated and given menus. It just looked like a high-class hotel."

"Westminster Oaks is wonderful. You can go from stage one to the end of the stage and I've followed quite a few friends that way, like you can have a big house, a little house, and you can move into assisted living and all of that. It's very alive there, they have buses that take you shopping, or to your doctor. I think it's the best one in Tallahassee. It's also the most expensive, but they take of their needs."

"Mom will be moving to Allegro. I like that the grounds are very lovely, there are a lot of trees and grass and foliage. There are lots of walkways and areas where they can go and sit outside. And it's very clean, and the person or representative that took us on the tour was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. The apartment that my mom will have has a separate living area from the bedroom and the shower. It also has a small kitchenette that already has a microwave and a small refrigerator there for her. The staff comes in once a week and changes and washes the linens. They also have a service to wash the resident's clothing if they so desire, or if they can't do their own. The facilities are there if they choose to wash their own clothing. The dining area and the food choices that they have are varied. If the residents don't like what they're serving for the day, they also have a menu that they can order items from. Or if they need the food to be delivered to their rooms, that service is also available. They have different levels of care within assisted living, like if they need assistance with bathing, and dressing, or if they need assistance with their medication being administered. The apartment that my mom liked is a 1-bedroom apartment, it's very spacious and it has a large window that looks out over the landscape. It's a very rural-looking landscape."

"Tapestry Senior Living Walden was as nice as the other place. I just didn't see any advantage, it is farther east of Tallahassee, and we were hoping to get my mother a little bit closer to us. I didn't see anything that made me feel like it was advantageous for her to move farther out. Everything was pretty nice. I didn't feel the same as far as the homeyness, although it was not unfriendly or anything like that, it just didn't hit me the same way. They did gardening, those activities in the spring and summer. They do not have a pool, but she doesn't use one anyway. They had three meals a day, housekeeping, and laundry. They were a little bit higher in their monthly costs. We did eat lunch there, and the food was very good. They had a large selection of items for the meals."

"I toured the Villas at Killearn Lakes. It was wonderful, and that's where I would want to be if I needed to be there. The size of the room is excellent. The villas are individual buildings, and I think each building has eight bedrooms with a private bath. Then, there's a very large area, and in that large area, it's like a big home. The kitchen is right there, and all the food is prepared right in front of the residents. It's just eight people in a building. They look like houses, and it's fantastic. It's the only one I've ever seen like that. The kitchen is spotless. It's excellent. The staff who gave the tour was very thorough. She answered all questions and knew exactly what was going on. They had beautiful gardens, and each building had its hair salon, a good-sized library, books, puzzles, and games."

"It was suggested to me, by my Crawfordville Primary care Physician, that for Nursing care Post Op Left Total Knee replacement at the beginning of this month , I consider going to Eden Springs Crawfordville, Fl for Physical Therapy and Rehab . She indicated much had changed in the last 10 years and that I should consider going there. I have been a nurse for over 50 years (Navy Nurse, Assistant head nurse, House Supervisor, Director and nurse educator) and felt I should give Eden Springs a chance. Such a pleasure too. I have lived in Wakulla County for almost 20 years and thought of this facility as a place to not consider , but I was very pleasantly surprised. My orthopedic Surgeon was suprised also. After two weeks in Eden Springs the knee bend was 105 degrees. The foods are tasty, The CNA's are attentive, the staff is most supportive. There is a courtyard in the center of the complex, I have even learned a new card game (Four Kings in the corner.) True the building is older but the staff brought a hominess to this facility. A refreshing Kudos to the Physical and Occupational Therapy, CNA's and Nurses, Dietary and Administrative Staff. Thank you for all of your wonderful care. "

Before choosing an assisted living community in Tallahassee, it’s important to understand the payment options available. For many seniors, using a mix of government benefits and private funds is necessary for covering monthly fees.
Private payments: Assisted living residents use private funds to pay for remaining expenses after using state, federal and VA programs. Private funds can come from multiple sources, including money from selling or renting out a home, retirement accounts and monthly Social Security or pension income.
Florida's Medicaid Long-term Care (MLTC) and Assistive Care Services programs can help qualified seniors pay for the cost of services at an assisted living facility. Neither program covers room and board fees, but the MLTC plan does negotiate those rates with providers.
Seniors receiving Federal SSI benefits can also take advantage of Florida's optional state supplementation to help with long-term care costs.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Florida page.

Fort Myers (from $3,351 to $3,943), Miami (from $2,168 to $2,558) and Cape Coral (from $4,373 to $5,160) all are projected to rise by about 18%.
