Independent Living Communities in Tallahassee, FL

"My mom was the first resident of Memory Care at The Grove. Since the day she moved in, we couldn’t be more pleased with her care. Sameka, the Memory Care Director, is caring and compassionate with many years experience in the unique needs of these sweet souls. The nurses and caregiving staff are held to high standards, which are evident in the superior care the residents receive. The residents stay busy with fun activities every day, thanks to the wonderful engagement staff. The food is top-notch and served restaurant style with new menus daily. As family members, we rely on the staff for compassion and care during the ups and downs of the dementia journey. The excellent care of our loved ones has continued despite the many challenges of 2020. Working in memory care is a calling, not just a job, and I am so grateful for the dedication of each member of The Grove family."

"I really liked Westminster Oaks because their setup is different than other senior living facilities. They have houses or apartments that are in a neighborhood for those who need somebody to come in and remind them to take medication but aren’t quite at a level where they need 24-hour care. In the heart of this little community, they have a facility where each resident has their own room set up like an apartment. I got a really good feeling from it. I am pretty sure this is the one we are going into when the time comes because I like that they give you the option to bring in your own caregiver. The staff is always very cordial, very professional, and answered every question I had. They were on top of everything."

"We visited Camellia Oaks. It's a fifty-five-plus community, it's brand new, and they're in Tallahassee. I think they already have sold sixty-something homes. It's just a year old, but they've already finished phase one of the building process. The staff was cordial and seemed friendly. We met some people as we went in and out, and they seemed very friendly. They have a clubhouse, a gym, and a lap pool. There's also a small lake there, so there were folks fishing, and there are walking trails. They've also just started a yoga class and some type of arts and crafts. They're all individual homes with some duplexes, and they all have open areas. It's also very close to a hospital, a Costco, a Walmart, and a TVS, so it's convenient for things that you would need."

"My brother will be moving into Brookestone Senior Residences. We chose it because of their price. It was a very nice place and it had disability assistance. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The rooms looked fine, and they were wheelchair accessible."

"The facilities of Allegro were not quite as nice as the other place. If you put in laminate floors, you have to pay so that they could put back the carpet when you die. They have 1 and 2-bedroom rooms available. Their waiting list is much shorter. I liked how it was much smaller -- only 120 people so they were not spread out over such a wide area -- but their rooms were not quite as updated. "

"My parents are in Tapestry Senior Living Walden. My mom is currently independent and my dad is assisted, and we feel like he's getting the care that he needs. They offer three meals a day, they have a salon and they will take them to doctors' appointments. The staff I've come in contact with has been wonderful."
