The Opal Senior Living

If you are looking for an assisted living facility for your loved one, look no further than Opal in Blue Water Bay Niceville. Bright great rooms, good food & superior service. I've viewed many, but it doesn't get any better than this.

We chose Brookdale Sun Prairie because it is a smaller facility, the location is close to my home, and staff were very friendly. I would tell others looking just to make sure to ask lots of questions!

I love seeing the residents so happy and involved in activities. The staff is always ready to help and assist residents with their needs. You can feel the positive energy walking in the building.

Grand Villa of Palm Coast has been awesome from the start of our search. They fully explained the steps of each stage and kept us informed of our Mother’s care and needs. The staff from Director [name removed] on down have been nothing but professional, courteous, and helpful…considering the environment. It takes special people to work in this challenging environment and Grand Villa does a great job in vetting and hiring the right people. They truly care for the residents and show it everyday, night, and not only when we are there. Great job to the staff and Director!

We liked the Grand Villa of Palm Coast a lot. It was very homey. They had a lot of activity and people enjoyed the environment. It was well-maintained and the people who showed us around were very nice and very informative. We liked that place probably the best. The dining area was nice. It's very inviting. It's open, friendly, and bright. The people that serviced the tables and stuff seemed to be very friendly and nice, too. It was a very good place.

The residence was full of light and happy people when we arrived. The residents seemed to be very content and enjoying each other and the staff. Food was very good.

I would say 5 for all. I have only visited once since I'm located in PA. But the communication has been amazing. She seems like she is adjusting. When there has been issues that arose, they found ways to rectify them. They send photos. Not sure about the money question. They seem to be reasonable but she has not been to other places so I can not compare.

The setup of the memory care unit just was great. With memory problems you can imagine getting lost but they have it setup where you come out of your room and you are in the common area. They were pricey though, but I'm sure for the level of care that is normal. They also communicated with me very well throughout.

Brookdale Onalaska is smaller and very personable. The facility is very homey. They offer lots of activities for the residents. It is a great place and everyone has been very helpful.

I have been favorably impressed with Belvedere Commons, particularly the staff. They've been great. I like that it's small and in a quiet, out the way place. I really like the staff - they are caring and compassionate, and as accommodating as any I've experienced. They're the only facility that we could find around here that works with Medicaid, and it appears that we're going to need that.

My Mother spent her last months with wonderful care and loving support. Couldn’t ask for better care. They have the patience of Saints and would highly recommend this home for anyone looking to take that step.

In less than a year they thought enough of me to make me President of the Residents Council. It is my responsibility to meet once a month with the other residents to hear their questions, compliments and complaints and pass them on to the management team. After our meeting, the management team meets with us to discuss those concerns or compliments. So far,they have been really understanding and responsive to our concerns. Nothing is perfect, but we are trying and are grateful for all their efforts to make our lives better.

Our family so enjoyed our visit and tour. Thank you [name removed]. The facility is up to date. Very clean. All the staff were so friendly. We talked to a couple of people and they seemed very happy being at the Opal. We certainly are considering this facility for our mom.

I just put my mother in five days ago. It wasn’t something she wanted to do. She’s 97 but could no longer live alone. I work, and I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment. It was a rough start, but after making her room. cheery with white furniture with yellow accents, I think it’s feeling more like home. I brought her pictures from her home that reminds her of home and other things. I don’t feel as bad as I did last week. It is an adjustment, but the staff at Grand Villa are very welcoming and kind and understand how new resident feel. There is entertainment and activities and a beautiful pool for the residents. I highly recommend this assisted-living.. In fact, I just gave the brochure to someone that’s looking to place their parent. So hopefully this will work out for another family.

We really enjoyed our tour the facility is great. A great place to be. Staff was very friendly. Great location. All the residents seemed well cared for. Lots of activities and lots of light. I think it would be a great place for our mom.

Small and cozy. Wonderful caring staff. Facility is kept very clean and the staff are all so attentive and friendly.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Meals were tasty and appropriate for the residents. The activities were plenty and enjoyable. My mom loves it there due to it's intimate environment I would recommend it to anyone.

My mom became a resident of Grand Villa last week. She had lived with me for 14 years prior to that so this transition was not only difficult for her, it was difficult for me. But the staff and the administration at Grand Villa embraced my emotional situation. They have been loving to my 93-year-old mother, patient with my questions and phone calls, and vigilant with her care, attending to not only the needs I specified, but more. One day over the weekend I visited her for lunch. One of the certified nursing staff members came to say hello to her and to ask her if she needed anything. She also helped her choose her meal options. This is care above and beyond anything I could have imagined she would receive. This was a tough move for me to make on behalf of my sweet mom, but I sleep in peace knowing she is in the care of Grand Villa and they’re loving staff.

What can I say about Grand Villa? I've been here six weeks now, and I LOVE it. I am in a Villa, and it is amazing. The staff is so responsive to my requests. The other residents are fantastic. I can be as busy as I want to be with everything that is happening here, or I can just hang back at my place. I can have three cooked meals, or I can prepare my own in my full kitchen (who am I kidding? I don't cook all that much!). My dog and I are so happy here. Thanks Grand Villa for letting us join your community!

It's a family oriented place. Yes there's challenges as is every place but staff is exceptional! Close to my house & not in a single family home. Absolutely would recommend! I have grown to know that every elderly person needs someone to take extra special care of that person. Otherwise they're there just to exist!
