YourLife Senior Living

I think it has some good people working at this facility. It is expensive but most facilities specializing in advanced care are expensive. Mom needed memory care and the facility was close to my sisters house.

Very good experience, they go out of their way to assist/care for the resident, including special tasks for them.

Very happy with my selection of Capital Square for my mom. Staff are what makes the place great. Everyone addresses mom by name and go out of their way to engage her -- even though she doesn't always respond. I can relax knowing she is where she needs to be.

We chose The Monarch because they focus solely on memory care and that is what mom needed. When I walked in it was so clean and I also knew the gal who was showing us around so that made us feel more comfortbale. I think they are going through a change right now so there are a couple little issues, but I think it will resolve once things get straightened out. It is mostly all inclusive but there are some add ons that can get expensive. I am very happy with The Monarch. It is great for anyone looking for memory care for their loved ones.

I was looking for place for a loved one and this facility was highly recommended. I took their advice and was very pleased with what I discovered. The staff was warm and welcoming. The facility and the patients rooms were clean and well kept. There was adequate staffing for the clients. The clients seemed to be good spirits. The food appeared to be appetizing and well balance. From my observation there seem to be enough activities to keep the clients entertained. The cost is comparable to or better than some of the other facilities that I have visited. I would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to rest easy knowing that your loved one is well cared for.

It's a good place. They take care of the people who live there, and their level of focus for each individual resident is good. One area for improvement is their communication with families, especially during Covid lockdowns. I didn't receive any notice of the lockdown and was turned away the other day when I went to visit.

YourLife is a very nice facility, it was just too expensive for what we were looking for.

Our experience is going well so far, we are having some difficulties with our loved ones dementia it has caused some aggression, but the staff members are working very well with our family to get our loved one on the right medication. The community is well kept and a very nice environment. They have a nice garden that is very relaxing. The meals and dining service is very good, and they have a lot of activities as well as pet therapy. YourLife is a really nice place.

Food was good, dining was good, place was beautiful, activities were great some staff were really excellent, some staff with direct contact with my loved one were not kind and some were downright disrespectful. My loved one did not have full on dementia like most of the patients there, but rather sundowners and confusion sometimes. Some of the staff talked badly in front of the patients because the patients had no clue what was being said. I took issue because people's loved ones were around and were hearing this stuff. My family was very present and some of the care giving staff did not like it. We also went in there thinking it was a 24 care place and quickly found out that we had to hire a private aid at $[fee removed] per hr ourselves on top of paying the $[amount fee] est per month to live and eat there. It was the only way we could be assured our loved one was being taken care of. Some of the staff was nasty to our hired caregiver which had taken care of my loved one an entire year before moving there. So, the place was pretty and had good food and activities, the rest left a bad impression on my family.

As a whole I am content living here.

I know that my loved one needs to be in Memory Care and that she needs the more one on one care, but our experience here hasn't been great so far and she's not getting that one on one care. She's in a wheelchair and their policy is to keep the residents' doors closed, which makes it hard. She's had several falls. They can't keep an eye on her if her door is closed. We were told that the staff has eyes on the residents here 24/7 and that there's a nurse on staff 24/7....neither of those things are true. Not from our experience, anyway. Another issue is the quality of people that they hire. Often when I visit, the staff is sitting around the table on their phones. I definitely feel like the staff needs more training. My loved one often refuses to take her medication. Instead of trying to work with her to get her to take it, they accept her refusal and move on. We've also hired an outside caretaker to come in and check on our loved one and to help her with the things that she needs help with. The caretaker frequently takes our loved one's laundry home and washes it for her because it's not being done by the facility. I'm going to schedule a meeting with the facility to address these concerns. I wouldn't recommend this facility to friends and family who have a loved one that is dependent and needs more one on one care.

I thought Inspiritas was nice. But it was a bit too formal, and it didn’t seem as homey. The people there were nice though.

I would tell friends that there are better options in Pensacola and I would not recommend Inspiritas.

I would tell others that your FIRST experience with the team is great, they are extremely helpful and wonderful, but then it all goes downhill. When you need to contact them and leave messages or email them, they are very poor to get back to you.

"Unfortunately, my experience at Yourlife has been disappointing. The community's amenities and services didn't live up to my expectations, and I had issues with communication from the staff. Despite the great tour from [name removed], the reality hasn't matched the promise. Hopefully, they'll work to improve.

The building has been thru a tremendous amount of changes with staff as well as management it’s no consistency within the building. I observe staff members on the cell phones while visiting on the floor and then sitting. Staff members are being over worked and burned out. Whats advertised is not what they have to offer. The level of care can be adjusted with the level of compassion for someone love ones. When having conversations with management things get brushed off as if you’re delusional. I often visit and see residents left unattended and soiled. Activists is amazing and the food have its hits and those two departs being ran by some amazing people

It was a rip off. Mom was there 3 days and we removed her for inferior care. They did not refund us the $[removed] that we paid. $[removed] for 3 days!! The staff were rude, incompetent, lazy, money grubbing, greedy. Also a very high turnover rate. They had no regard for their patients.

My mother was there for two weeks with dementia. She did not understand the band and why she should push the button for assistance. BECAUSE she had dementia. My brother and I were with her from 7:00am until she went to bed. While there, we tended to her needs. We dresssed her, took her for walks around the campus, took her to the dining area and other care she required. Whenever we pressed the button for assistance, no one came, so we took care of the matter. She fell out of bed three times while she was there and the third time put her in the hospital with all kinds of bruises. I removed her from Inspiritas the very next morning and brought her back home. I don't know if the fall had anything to do with her injuries, but she got weaker and passed in one and a half months. Because she was only there 2 weeks and not cared for as I thought she would be, I did ask for the deposit but they declined. It's a beautiful facility and the staff were nice, but they were short of staff.

I honestly don't know where to start when giving Capital Square (which then changed to Silver Sands, then changed again to what is now Your Life at Tallahassee) a review. It was a very sad experience for Mom and I. Dad was transported there from the VA in Orlando on Friday before Easter wknd. Mom had paid the [fee removed] entrance fee and was told that he would have a room but he didn't when he arrived. Sadly Dad was there for only 3 1/2 hours when we received a call that he had passed away in their livingroom. Mom and I were devastated. My 84 yr old Father had Alzheimers/Dementia and needed full time care that they agreed to give him. They couldn't even provide a room that was already paid for in advance so I question now if they even have the capability of caring for others loved ones. Mom has tried to contact them numerous times for reimbursed or atleast retroded back the money she put forth so we can pay for my Father's funeral. They have neglected to return her calls. Please reconsider.

The transportation van was broken and the salon was closed during his 6 week stay. The areas where public is much cleaner than resident areas. There was black mold in the ceiling in the dining area. Staff at front desk more friendly than resident area. Over medicated resulting in falls, incontenence and misbehavior. There are a few resident care techs that try to do a good job, but majority have their nose stuck in their personal phone. I visited facility several times when the care techs did not know where he was located. I h a d to get a care tech to let me out of floor. Two care tech in common room nose in phone. A resident in a wheelchair was leaning forward and would have fallen on her head if i had not yelled at the care giver. The residents did not receive enough food. [name removed] was fed many meals on a saucer or small bowl. He lost 10 lbs 1st week there. They didnt ask if they wanted more food or drinks and when they served the residents proceeded to serve themselves. On one occasion a worker was fixing a go box with more food than was served to 4 people. Some residents did not have an appetite and did not finish their meal. The underserved residents would eat their leftovers. When i was there iIwould bring it to the servers attention and reported it to on duty RN. The lady in charge activities was very nice and helped me with other issues like finding his lost clothes' that were in laundry. Tom seemed to enjoy activities. The management is very lackadaisical. There needs to be more supervision and guidance in resident area.
