Sodalis DeFuniak Springs
4.8

Sodalis is a great place! My grandmas health and energy has improved. They really care about the residents. They always have some kind of activity throughout the day. They schedule weekly Walmart trips and other outings periodically. They have a very nice doctor that comes in to see the residents. Overall it’s a great place!

Brookdale was a fabulous facility with really caring staff members and nursing. It is small and a great deal of attention is provided to their residence. It was a great final place for my mom to be before she passed away.

The staff is very caring and you could tell that they loved my dad. Some of them attended my dad's funeral nearly 2 hours away.

I would recommend this community to others. They are cute condos and they are a perfect size and they have a balcony to enjoy also. Communication is good between the staff and our family. They keep us well informed and updated.
