Villas at Killearn Lakes, Tallahassee FL

I've recently moved two clients into the Villas@Killearn Lakes for Assisted Living care. Both are thriving in the small, family type environment. Meals are made from scratch in the kitchen of each Villa and residents are encouraged to participate as they are able. The large living room provides opportunities for socialization while the smaller activity room provides an area to spend quiet time alone. The 2 covered porches allow for socially distanced visits with friends and family. The staff to resident care ratio is the best in town with a maximum of 12 elders in each villa. I'm truly happy to know my clients are CARED for by all who interact with them in this residence!

Activities that have particularly increased the Quality of Life for my clients include “Mocktail hour”, Bingo, Walking Track Team, Special guest Musicians in the Courtyard. The increased socialization in each Villa has been life changing for my folks. I have seen them reduce the time spent in the recliner and return to more active daily activities. The staff are always helpful and encourage residents to get out into the sunshine. Many fast friendships have been formed in the front porch rockers.

When my Mother needed to move from our home into Assisted Living, we all wanted to find a place that felt as close to home as possible. After visiting the Villas at Killearn Lakes we all “knew” we had found her next “home”.

We have been very pleased with every experience from the initial visits, meeting with staff, moving in and now living there for a month. The Administrative staff have been wonderful. It is obvious they love what they do. They are regularly visiting the elders, finding out what they like and don’t like, and showing them they care for them. The caregivers have treated her like their grandmother. They have been so loving. We hear from the caregiver and Administrative staff regularly, keeping us posted on how she is doing and anything they feel needs attention.

I haven’t even mentioned yet how beautiful each Villa is and how nice the neighborhood of Villas is! Each Villa is truly a very large home. The great room is very inviting. The elders enjoy eating together at one large table, then sitting together watching television in front of the fire. The rocking chairs on the front porch are a favorite gathering spot to watch what’s going on. Believe me, they enjoy keeping track of who is coming and going. The private bedrooms and baths are very nice size.

For this huge life event in my Mother’s life, we know she is in the right place.
