Woodmont Senior Living in Tallahassee, FL
3.7

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.

Canterfield of Tallahassee
4.9

We are very happy with Canterfield of Tallahassee. We have told other people about it - we told our primary care physician who wrote down their information. I've even contacted a nurse I know who works for hospice, I gave her a couple names of different facilities and asked for her opinion. She said, "Definitely go with Canterfield, as the other place is known to not have enough help.", so even she knows. There's also a friend of hers, who's a doctor or a nurse, they visit Canterfield a lot and they know what to look for. Even they are very pleased too. So once I heard all of that, I knew it would be a great place. The Director, [name removed], is just the best. She puts you at ease, shows everything, and answered all of our questions; she couldn't have been nicer.
