Tallahassee's "The Grove at Canopy" was my step-mother's home for the last 4 years of her life. She enjoyed the comfort and freedom of independent living for 3 of those years. And during the final year (first in assisted living and then memory care) the staff consistently went far above any basic requirements of their jobs. They greatly exceeded my expectations! I only live a mile from there, was in the facility several times each week, and had ample opportunity to see these people at work. ALL of them were outstanding! In particular, I give special thanks to Director of Nursing Asya Williams and Director of Memory Care Danielle Cooper and to their teams for all they did, especially as failing health made Ede's life more challenging. When the time comes, I hope I can live in a place as nice as this. I commend them, and I recommend them. Prospective residents will have a hard time finding anything better in this very competitive market. read more

After nearly 3 years at the Grove we've had plenty of time to realize The Grove was the perfect choice for my Dad to start a new chapter in his life. He loves the chef prepared meals, companionship and activities that keep him vital. His assisted living apartment is spacious with 10' high ceilings, has a full size kitchen and refrigerator along with pretty granite countertops that is the same size as independent living apartments w/o the dishwasher or range. The larger kitchen space makes it feel more like a home and you can with plenty of counter space for a coffee pot, toaster oven etc. From his apartment my Dad loves seeing who's coming and going throughout the day and the beautiful evening sunsets. There's enough room for a full size sofa and recliner along with barstools at the bar...plenty of space for a family gathering. The bedroom easily fits a queen size bed and the built in washer and dryer are super convenient even though they will clean and do laundry regularly as you wish. The lobby is quite grand and opens to the second story balcony, there are four large chairs grouped around a fireplace where residents enjoy sitting, visiting, and greeting throughout the day. The whole building is state of the art and professionally decorated. The dining room is beautiful, the bistro has quartz countertops and is open and bright. The sizable bar area has sliding glass doors that open to a large covered patio overlooking green space that serves as a small putting green or game of croquet AND a fire pit! In another area, there is a large open air atrium with a beautiful water fountain with comfy chairs to relax and enjoy. They have happy hour every Friday before dinner, games and activities are planned throughout the day, movie night is every night at 6:30, my Dad's favorite activity is the acrylic painting class held weekly by an award wining teacher, Debbie Gaedke. They bring in entertainment regularly and use any excuse to have a party. 2019 we had our Christmas dinner at The Grove and it felt like the old days when we had our own large family gatherings. We always look forward to meals by Chef Dean. There's a small dog park that is a fenced in area w/o much for the dogs to do, I would love to see a couple of trees and/or shrubs planted to give the dogs a place to do their business in private or sniff around. There is a bench but during the summer it's too hot without a cover. That said, we are VERY happy they allow dogs!! Thinking of moving to the Grove? Tell them if my review helped, I love sending people their way as they are the best act in town. I have to add that the administrator has been there almost since they opened their doors and takes the time to touch base with family's and get to know her residents. We appreciate Crystal! read more
