The Opal Senior Living

While the facility is dated, the friendly staff more than makes up for those aesthetics. My mom, who did not want to go initially, has nothing but rave reviews for how sweet the staff is. This has eased her transition tremendously.

We are still in transition here at this community. My mother is having a few health complications. Overall this is a lovely community and we are pleased. They are doing everything they can for my mother in law and her needs. Everybody here is wonderful, they have all been caring and kind. We know she is safe and good hands here. It was a nice experience.

I went to Belvedere on our scheduled time, and found that things had changed there, even put down a deposit, 2 days before Mr. [removed] move in they came to do an assestment and put him at a level 5, reason given he had to have his Parkinson Meds. 6x a day, as he can dress himself feed himself and needs assistance with shaving and a shower, the price went from $2900 a month to $4000.00 and he could not do this financially So I had to let them know he would not be moving in to their facility. Thank you for trying to assist us in our search. but Mr. [removed] will be staying, for the time at The Residences at Park Place.

As with all facilities when promises that are made, follow through is very important. Part of the condition of his residency was that transportation would be provided to visit his wife's grave site every Saturday, but when the first Saturday arrived, they said they do not provide transportation period on the weekends. It seemed like that discrepancy was kind of egregious to me.

Belvedere has been a great relief to me and my brothers. Mom improved physically right away because of the activities and opportunities for walking. The caregivers have been caring and attentive, and the facilities have been clean and inviting.

My mother was only there at Belvedere Commons of Franklin for a few weeks, but during the time that she was there she was very happy. We were very well pleased with the facility and the staff.

It's a nice place. People are very friendly. My mother says the food is up and down. I think they all cost a lot. The value is fair. Overall, it was a pretty good experience for my mom. They have activities here. They take them out shopping. They have games for them and people come in and play music. They do an excellent job at taking care of my mother. The Brookdale Bluewater Bay is a nice place for mom.

Your loved one needs at least 4-6 weeks to adjust to the environment and so do you! The staff is very supportive of both the family and residents. It is definitely a family atmosphere: are there kinks, yes, but I think you have to work through them, like any other family. Communication is the key with everyone from the top on down. We give the positive and the negative. We know most of the staff and residents by name and they know us. All our concerns have been addressed and information is free flowing. Our loved one is now too busy to talk on the phone and remarks how everyone is like family! We visited 6 facilities , this was the last one and knew immediately that this was the right choice. I think it's a big plus that it's a small facility and we are very happy with our choice.

I am really pleased with how this facility is. It is very small and accommodating. I dont have any complaints at all.

Belvedere commons is doing a good job taking care of our Mother. They are like a big family.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Facility is bright and clean. Could use a little more activities. Otherwise, a very nice assisted living facility for the price.

It’s priced reasonably. The food could be better. There is an outside area for residents to enjoy. The building and grounds are quite lovely.

My loved one was only here a brief time before increased care needs necessitated a move, but our experience here was a good one! They've got a great staff here, everyone was very friendly. The rooms seemed a little on the smaller side for the price, but it wasn't a deal breaker.

Everything is great about this community! The price is high, but all of the options in the area were around the exact same price, so it's comprable. My loved one hasn't complained about the food. It's not gourmet, but there's nothing wrong with it. They do lots of special things too - they go out to lunch, go get slushies, take trips to get pie... There was an issue with some healthcare related tests, where they really just didn't happen. We will give them the benefit of the doubt though, and just hope it doesn't happen again. Our choice came down to two options, and the courtyard and outdoor area really set this one apart from the other!

We toured this location when we were looking into options for our loved one. We were very pleased with everything here! The staff were friendly and professional, and it looked like the care and activities they provided would be very food! One problem we noticed was that although the common areas and front entrance were nice, the hallways and rooms looked a bit shabbier, and could probably use recarpeting.

This is a definite NO. My sister and mother toured the facility. They liked it but we are not considering Tallahassee for my mother.

They were a little more institutional than the one we chose. If you had a severe stroke then it would be a good situation, because they were very well supervised. It seemed more medical. If you do need that level of care then this would be a good location.

My experience with Summit was excellent. Caring staff and attention to details made the move quite pleasant. My friend has adjusted well.

My mother hasn't been there long. She was there for about a day and a half and had to go to the hospital and then she was back for another day and had to go to the hospital agian. Hopefully she'll be able to go back and stay. It's a pretty good value. It's clean and there's stuff for people to do. In the morning they get everybody out of thier rooms and get together and socialize. My mom won't get out on her own but once she's out there she's fine. They have therapy type stuff and take them shopping if they're up for it. She had a couple of meals there and she likes the food.

It is clean, neat, and the employees are helpful and friendly.
