Ask about this communityAbout this community
Villas at Killearn Lakes in Tallahassee, Florida, is a senior living community arranged as a neighborhood of six residential villas. The community describes each home as designed for 12 residents, creating a smaller household setting within one campus. Walkways connect the villas and outdoor areas, linking the individual homes with shared grounds rather than placing residents in a single large building. Its FAQ explains the small-house model as a neighborhood where homes can have resident-driven character and house rules, instead of following one uniform routine.
The community offers assisted living and memory care for people who need help with everyday tasks but do not require the intensive medical services of skilled nursing. Support may include bathing, dressing, medication management and meal preparation. Care is available around the clock, seven days a week. The community describes its approach as person-centered, with assistance shaped around individual needs rather than a fixed schedule. Listed team roles include nursing staff, a Dementia Care Specialist, Care Partner Leads and Care Partners, as well as an Executive Director, a Social Engagement and Activities Director and a Chef Coach. A community listing also names support for non-ambulatory residents and diabetes- and incontinence-related needs.

A community listing also identifies wheelchair-accessible showers. The layout combines private sleeping space with shared indoor rooms and outdoor gathering areas.
Daily routines are described as flexible rather than tied to fixed schedules. Residents can begin their mornings when ready, and the day can follow their interests and readiness instead of requiring them to keep pace with a group timetable. Home-cooked meals are part of daily life, and the villas have kitchens. A community listing identifies gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar meal options. Listed activities include sensory programs, trivia, brain fitness, chair yoga, reminiscence sessions, cooking and art classes, Wii bowling, intergenerational programs, pet-focused activities and on-site devotional gatherings.

He personally overseas his operation to make sure every resident is loved and cared for. Other memory care places should really take note of how The Villas is run.
I am a home health nurse and frequent this facility on a very routine basis. Everyone is always very nice, professional and residents are very well taken care of. I think its important to have good, positive vibes in this type of field and everyone i come in contact with has a smile :)
The Villas has been a lifesaver for our family. After a terrible fall, my mom was no longer able to live in her home where she had resided for the past 40 years. Her physical trauma as well as the emotional trauma of having to give up her home was more than she could come to terms with. She was at the point of giving up on life. After researching and visiting numerous facilities, we made the decision that the Villas at Killearn Lakes was the place for her.

The Villas literally brought her back to life. She loves her new home and the family that she has become a part of.

My husband has been a resident at The Villas of Killearn Lakes for 10 months and I could not be more pleased. Each villa has a large gathering room with the individual rooms off the large gathering room. There is a wonderful table where the residents come to eat, along with a fireplace with a TV over it and comfortable furniture around it where they can gather to watch TV or participate in activies. All of their meals are cooked in the spacious kitchen, open to this gathering room. Each villas provides a wonderful home-like atmosphere that my husband adjusted to easily. The entire staff in his villa are knowledgeable, kind, caring, respectful and outgoing. They have become like family to us. They have gone beyond their "duties" and laugh and joke with my husband who enjoys this immensely. My husband loves the food that is prepared in his villa each day and he enjoys getting together with the other residents at mealtimes. The personal care he gets is outstanding. He needs are met immediately and he has adjusted well to his new routines. His room is always clean and his clothes are well maintained. The care workers communicate with me often and keep me informed of any needs that need to be taken care of. There are a variety of activities for him to be involved with, along with activities for the families to participate in also. I have loved getting to know the family members of the other residents. We all make a point to get to know one another's family members and enjoy all visiting together. The staff does a good job at managing my husband's medications and meeting his individual needs. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of and my husband loves the ability to go outside and sit on his porch or "walk" his wheelchair around on the sidewalks. I am thrilled for a safe area for him to do so. My husband moving to The Villas has been a wonderful experience.
My dad is in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s and has been at The Villas for about 8 months. This place has been SUCH a blessing to our family. The staff truly cares about the residents. The atmosphere is much more “homey” than a typical place like this. The design and idea of a little neighborhood is so unique and walking around honestly feels comfortable and almost fun when I go and visit. The layout of each villa feels like a family home, complete with living room, kitchen and family dining table. The staff communicates well and seems to always have my dad’s best in mind. I am so thankful for The Villas!!!
The Villas at Killearn Lakes is an exceptional synergy of caregivers and administrators coming together to provide emphatic, professional, dedicated care for seniors. The entire intentional design of low staff to resident ratio, in house nursing and activities combined with the spirit of extenuating and enhancing the lives of seniors is unparalleled in any senior residential center I have ever seen. Every detail is intentionally planned and every resident is closely cared for. This is a business model that elder care needs to emulate across the country. We are fortunate to have a member of our family in the Villas family.
I really enjoyed establishing a connection with the personnel at this location. Jessica, you are a true professional. And I would definitely recommend friends and family to a facility full of love like this one.
