Brookdale Hermitage Boulevard

My daughter was looking to relocate me to be close to her in Tallahassee., FL. After my husband (her father) died. She visited Brookdale Hermitage. She was impressed with cleanliness, staff and size of the community being a paramedic she see other communities.

I moved my Mom to Brookdale Hermitage Boulevard on [date removed]. She'd been at another, larger ALF for the past five years, but was noticeably declining. Since she's been at BHB, she's gained back some of the lost weight, is clean, known by sight and also by her preferences, is treated kindly and with respect, and is obviously very content in her new home. I cannot tell you how relieved I am on her behalf, and how good it is to see my now 97-year-old Mom living in a clean environment, enjoying appetizing hot meals three times daily, playing Bingo, smiling, chuckling at amusing events, and doing gentle exercise from her wheelchair. The bottom line--Mom is being cared for and cared about. She is once again herself. Our family is so glad for her. It truly is THE place for Mom. Thank you, Brookdale Hermitage Boulevard. I'd give you 10 stars if I could.

Administrative staff along with other staff are very attentive, friendly and willing to assist as best they can with anything needed. The food is very good with a good variety of offerings.

Brookdale Hemitage Blvd. is one the smaller occupancy level communities available in this area. That is what makes it unique and attractive. Your loved one gets personalized care. I see daily their diligent care if their residents who become family. I highly recommend this community!

My mother is a resident at Brookdale Hermitage. She and I are very happy with everything about the facility. The staff is extremely nice and caring, they go out of their way to take care of the residents. The food is very good and they offer a wide variety at every meal to make sure the residents are happy and well nourished. There are a lot of wonderful activities for the residents to participate in and everyone wants to be sure the residents are enjoying themselves. The facility is very clean and the maintenance crew is attentive to anything that needs work. I would highly recommend Brookdale Hermitage to anyone who might be interested.

The staff is usually very responsive to our needs. Carrie and Britney in the office have always been very responsive and Stephanie in Nursing has always kept me well informed about my mother. I think overall they try to handle most situations that come up. I'm sure that finding employees to work in this type of field can be challenging at times.

The director and the sales director went way above and beyond. They are absolutely wonderful, fabulous people doing the best they can trying to meet expectations. They're having some staffing issues, but that's just the Covid situation right now, everywhere you go. They've been without an activities director, which as been hard. But the managerial staff is fabulous. There could be a little more hands on care and more encouragement. But most of the nurses are very nice and very good. They're very tolerant. My loved one could be a bad pill, and they really and truly were incredibly sweet and great to her, especially the night time nurses.

It was ok, but decor was rather dark and could use updating.

When you entered this community I didn't feel that it was a pleasant enviroment as other communities we looked at. It almost gave you the feeling of being in a old time nursing home where they residents weren't as active. The staff was friendly and helpful but we could just tell this wasn't going to be a good place to put mom.

We toured this community. for care. The staff was nice and they did answer the questions we had on the care that is available. They had a good list of meals that would have been appealing. We did like that this community is clean and maintained. We would recommend that families tour this community for good care and value

This is a nice community. The staff are nice and some of the staff are not as helpful as we have requested. We have found that some of the staff is not helping as asked. The community is very clean and maintained. The menu is appealing. They do offer activities for the residents that want to participate We would suggest that other familes tour this community for the care of a loved one.

This community is fine for a respite stay. I do not see that they follow through with what they say. They do not keep the residents rooms as clean as they should. The rest of the community is ok, although there is a strong odor. The community seems to be understaffed on the weekends. The staff do not always seem attentive to the residents. They currently do not have access to call for assistance from the bathroom.

Joanne was very helpful and answered our long list of questions. The facility is bright and cheerful, people were friendly. It was a good visit.

My mother is doing fantastic at this community. I'am very pleased with everything they have done for us. The community looks great. Every time I've visit everything is very nice and clean, and also her room is well maintained. They have a lovely staff, they are very friendly and caring. The maintenance guy is very kind and responsive. They have great activities for the residents. The meals are nice. I know she is being cared for well. I would highly recommend this community.

The staff at this community treated my husband really well while he was there. They went over and above. He liked the food they had a good variety and it looked like restaurant food. They offer some activities and he did attend a singalong. The community is clean and well maintained.

I would not recommend Brookdale Hermitage Boulevard. Mom bought the highest package possible here. We also hired two private aids. The staff at Brookdale wasn't checking on her in the day and night as they were supposed to. They were counting on on the private aids doing everything even though we were paying for them to. Mom had and accident and the private aid needed help and the staff here took forever to come. The private aid asked what took her so long and the staff member said she was lucky she got the help when she did. The private aid was so upset over that. The first month was really rough. Within a week of being there mom had to be rushed to the hospital. I would not recommend this facility. It has gotten better. But that's because we had to hold their feet to the fire. Our biggest concern with mom is her falling. It has been frustrating. I was there for 7 straight days and no one came to check on her even though we paid for the highest level of care. We were told the staff would be able to help mom eat because she does need assistance. But when we would bring her to the dining room they told us they couldn't help. Also the food isn't good. The variety is terrible and the portion sizes are small. Overall I am not happy. I am hoping a lot of things change here soon.

Very friendly staff made me feel welcome and answered all my questions. Placed emphasis on giving my parents their individual preferences and not just making them conform to 'group norms'. I asked a lot of 'tough' questions and the staff was candid in their responses +++ They did not make me feel like I was being unreasonable with my 'what if' questions which I had an idea what the answers would be just given the nature of the business. I wanted to communicate how important it is to DAD that he be 'in charge' when it comes to his care. Diane was AMAZING +++. I greeted her with a professional handshake and departed with a friendly hug. Thank you. 'A place for Mom ' for the referral. I know I have to 'shop arround' as in the end it's not about me, It is my responsibility to gather facts and information as we all know 'dad is in charge' not you and I. David Charles Osborne Tallahassee, Florida PS: My first choice is to convince mom and dad to move in to my home. That remains my highest recommendation to them. So far I have only looked at ONE facility and Sterling House is now in 2nd place as far as my '2cents' worth of recommendations are concerned.

This is a definite NO. My sister and mother toured the facility. They liked it but we are not considering Tallahassee for my mother.
