Woodmont Senior Living

After 6 months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, finding a facility to accept a brain injured individual with cognitive abilities in many areas was beginning to feel impossible! WOODMONT understood his needs and we found an accessible and safe spot with a caring staff! He is known as a “person” here, not just someone to bring in more money to a company. It truly was an answer to prayer!

My dad was hesitant to agree to an assisted living arrangement. Woodmont and A Place For Mom went above and beyond to help make both myself and my dad feel comfortable. [name removed] helped me brainstorm ways for me to help my dad in this difficult time. Today he finally agreed to assisted living. [name removed] and her staff have made us feel very welcome and like we're already part of the family. My dad is finally getting excited about this next chapter, and I know he will be in great hands here.

Woodmont had a suitable apartment available sooner than the others. They are a troubled property (also the oldest in Tallahassee) which is undergoing a rehabilitation process including new staff, interior renovation (plus a new roof), upgrades to personnel and operations. We were impressed with the staff and were willing to put our faith in their "comeback". Especially since we are actively involved by frequently visiting my parents. Since so few residents live there now, my parents are well known to the staff. However, because there are few residents there isn't much social stimulation or variety of activities available, which my mom needs and misses. She is high-functioning and is only in a progressive care facility because of my Dad's need for assistance, supportive staffing, and potentially memory care down the line if he declines to a level where mom can't manage. He's doing well there with the low stimulation. He's consistently sleeping better than he was before. So it's a temporary compromise situation for them, and they are on a waiting list for another community which has more amenities and social opportunities but a long waiting list.

All of the staff members that we came in contact with at Pacifica Senior Living Woodmont were pleasant and accommodating. The only complaints we had was the quality of the food, housekeeping was very poor and the community is showing its age but they were in process of updating the apartments while we were there. The move in process was smooth and the staff did all they could do to keep my loved one, but she was determined to return home. We only did respite stays. Overall, I would recommend Pacifica Senior Living Woodmont to others. They are trying to make the community nicer overall.

My loved one was there for a week. I think the tour, showed me everything I needed to know. My guide was informative and answered my questions. As for the cost, it was comparable with other facilities I looked at.

This reflects our experience at Pacifica Senior Living Woodmont so far, but they just got bought out and have all new management and lots of new staff so not sure if these will be accurate going forward.

My mother was welcomed with open arms and the staff was so friendly. Staff assisted in making the transition go smoothly. So far we are well pleased.

We made appt. to tour, received good info, met a couple residents heard their stories, information on ALF price for resident stay.

My husband was a brief patient at Pacifica Woodmont. He was only there one week before he passed away on March 28, 2022. I received a called from Pacifica shortly after, telling me that I would be receiving a refund in about a month. Needless to say, I haven't received a refund or am I able to speak to anyone other than the receptionist. The financial person is always in a meeting or the facility itself doesn't answer. I have been promised that my call would be returned but that hasn't happened. As far as my experience with the facility itself, my husband was only there a week so I didn't have much interaction with the staff. He had advanced dementia and was unable of communicating so I really don't know how the care was. As far as I know, I have no complaints about his stay.

I do not know how the other Pacifica facilities are, but we found this one to not be up to par. It was a disappointing experience for us and we were not satisfied. There was a lot that was said up front that was not carried through with during the stay here.

We chose Pacifica Senior Living Woodmont mainly because of the friendly staff and they had availability when we needed it. The staff are so extremely friendly, we are just so thankful for everyone at Pacifica. I would highly recommend them to others.

My loved one has been sick about the whole time we've been here, in and out of the hospital. So she can't really take advantage of everything the way she'd like to until she gets better. As her designated caregiver, I've been able to come and go as I please and come in to her room. I know that's not the case everywhere with Covid, so I've been grateful for that opportunity. With everything I've seen and observed, I've been very pleased. It's clean. It's an older building, but updated. The staff are really wonderful people. They just lost their executive director, so we're waiting in limbo to see what happens with that change. But he was there for three years and has been wonderful. Lack of staff has been a problem, but most of them are really, really good. When she first got there, it was absolutely perfect, but diminished a bit due to Covid, which was out of their control. They're still doing great, checking on her a lot, meeting her needs, and taking good care of her. I just wish they could check on her more often on the weekends. That's when I notice a staff shortage the most. I know they're trying - I see them interviewing people often and trying to get people on board. I've not tried the food, but it looks and smells fabulous to me. They have activities every day, at least five or six different things, so they're offering quite a bit. When it comes to this type of care, it's all expensive. But I think it's definitely worth it here. You're getting a lot of bang for your buck.

My loved one didn't have any complaints. It wasn't the Taj Mahal like other places we looked at, but it was good care. And they provided for all his needs while he was there. My loved one was looking for autonomy that I don't think any place he would go to would let him have. He's not fully able to care for himself, and the staff was fabulous with him. Everyone I met was great. The amenities were top notch. It was far superior to a nursing home. I would think in some cases he got better care than we could provide for him at home. We're distracted with kids and busy schedules, so they could look after him more. Which he may not have liked, to be honest. Every thing was clean and immaculate. They had plenty of activities to do, despite being limited with Covid - although they might not have been things he wanted to do. Just be prepared for the cost, although their cost is similar to other places. We noticed that the memory care was priced better than other places we looked at. So I would recommend them over other senior living centers in the area. We were confident leaving our loved on in their care, and we felt that was one thing we did not have to worry about.
