My father is living in Brookdale Fort Walton Beach. Its been exceptional, and the people have been extremely helpful with the stressful situation of getting my father moved. They were awesome about it, got him settled, worked with me, and manage his healthcare extremely well. I like the people. It's a very safe environment. They do all of his cleaning, laundry, and food.

I visited Brookdale Fort Walton Beach, and this one had smaller rooms. I was not as impressed. The people seemed very nice, but most of the residents just sat around and were bunched together, and they just stared. It wasn’t the same climate for me. The groups of people I saw were probably advanced in their facilities, and that could be why. I did not like the location because it was pretty close to a busy street. They lock the door and did not even have an inner courtyard where people can go outside, so I did not like that at all. They had activities, and the staff seemed very nice.

I visited Brookdale. The director was really nice and helpful. The rooms were a little bit smaller, but they were nice.

I love it, and my father loves it. We chose Wellington Place because of the location, great services, and the amount of people. He gets the attention he needs, and he doesn't get lost in the noise.

The staff during my visit was very informative and very helpful. The security seemed fine. The rooms were small as far as I am concerned, but I just felt like Wellington Place was a nice place.

Wellington Place was nice. We were very impressed with it. However, it is too expensive for us. I have a gluten allergy, and the lady that I talked to there said that she didn't know if any assisted living provided a gluten-free diet. It is something that they could not do there too, so we could not go there. Their apartments were nice. Their dining room was nice. My wife liked the food, but like I said, I'm on a gluten-free diet, so I didn't eat much of it.

The lady at Wellington Place of Ft. Walton Beach was very patient with me. She took all the time in the world to answer my questions and I couldn’t ask for more. I was able to visit the dining room and I was told that they would give you a menu and you can have some choices. I am diabetic and they told me that they are able to accommodate diabetic diet. The room was small, but it was nice and everything is clean too. There are still a lot of thing that I didn’t know about the facility, but I did not find anything that I disliked.

I heard about Wellington Place from friends. The rooms and the staff are all super. The food is very good. They have everything she wants to do and they bring her out on outings. She's fine there. I like best the care that they give her. She adjusted well.

Wellington Place is very nice. If she needed more assistance that would probably be the place, I will put her. The rooms were nice. I liked the personal assistance when I went there. The place was recommended by my financial adviser and his family lived there.

We like everything about Brookdale Senior Living. It is a very nice facility with nice employees and it was convenient for us with regard to the location. They've showed us all the rooms and everything before we decided that it would be a good place for us. Right now, they're doing some upgrades to the actual infrastructure and once it's done, it will be great.

There are not many choices for elderly care in my town. I visited this one and liked it. The staff were all very nice and seemed genuinely concerned about the residents. They took me on a tour of the entire facility. Letting me take as much time as I needed. The common areas were very nice. All was warm and cozy. The food looked and smelled great! I was very impressed with that. I liked the variety of activities that are offered to the residents. The outside was nice as well. I am glad that in took the time to visit. It is a place I will consider for my family in the future.

The first thing I noticed was how nice the place was, it reminded me of a hotel, in a good way. It was clean and kept up. They treated family members and friends of the patients with respect. I appreciated not having the feeling of being "in the way" the entire time, like I have with past assisted living centers. The cooks their were on break, and we great company to talk to while waiting to see my friend, she even offered us coffee. I was able to have a long chat with my friend plus one of the nurses. She was very nice and attributed to the conversation. I am young, and my friend is far older than me, but she is not senile. She is smarter than many of the youth I'm friends with, and a much better friend as well. I appreciate knowing she will be treated with dignity at this center and I look forward to visiting her again in the future.

We went to visit Wellington Place of Ft. Walton Beach assisted living facility since we were looking at places for my friend's mother to live.
The outside grounds had many exotic plants that were extraordinarily vibrant. The circular drive provided easy access. The interior foyer was fresh, bright and spacious. The facility offers plenty of amenities - like social enrichment activities within the community.
The lunch we saw was like you might find in an upscale diner. They also had a private dining room for friends and family to enjoy. The restaurant style dining area was fresh and bright with a light color scheme.
The staff takes residents on weekly outings for shopping and entertainment. The exercise area had nicely appointed equipment and offered exercise classes.
The spacious private rooms were nicely personalized with comfortable furniture and colors.
This assisted living facility offers residents flexibility and comfort. The respectful and professional staff is kind and caring.
