Belvedere Commons of Fort Walton Beach

Hire more help sometimes there is only one tech on the evening shift and it takes a very long time for them to respond. Most of the techs are very friendly and caring. A few are not. The food is great ten times better than rehabilitate facility. When you don't go to the dining room. They are supposed to bring it to your room. Most of the time they bring it with nothing to drink. A few times they never brought anything. When asked they said that the people in the dining room have priority. Then the rooms but if they run out of what was on the menu they don't bring anything else. The administration staff are great especially the manager she is top notch

Used to be great, going downhill these days

When we moved my mom into Belvedere Commons, it was a huge relief because it was a welcoming, friendly, warm, and generally cheerful place. The residents seemed mostly content and there was a comfortable vibe. The business changed hands not long after that, they have been through I think 5 directors, and things are not nearly as relaxed and comfortable as they were. My mom is in the memory care part and her room is never cleaned well. Her clothes are often stinky and dirty when I come to see her. They have said they are changing the cleaning staff, so I hope that happens. The regular staff are still caring and good, but don’t have time to do the best job. I visited once a couple of months back, for example, and my mom had fallen and her arm had a large, open, oozing wound that had not been cleaned or dressed. There was blood on her shirt that had been there overnight. That is the kind of thing that should be noticed and taken care of, but it is the kind of thing that can get overlooked these days at Belvedere Common if your loved one has memory issues. They need more staff. I still like the place and my mom is as happy there as she would be anywhere. The staff and other residents are really nice to her, and I think she enjoys the people. I just hope that things improve and get it back to the great place it was when she first moved in, but I honestly don’t know how that could happen unless it gets sold again to a better corporate overlord.

Highly recommend-the social atmosphere is comfy and friendly like home

It's a really good place and my numbers don't do it justice. Management seems to have a high turnover but the regular staff (med techs, nursing, kitchen, maintenance, etc.) are all pretty stable and really wonderful. The food is probably fine for the residents, but they don't have much variety or fresh vegetables fixed in casseroles and deliciousness. My mom loves scrambled egg sandwiches and I don't think they have ever made her one.

Belvedere a caring facility for my wife.

My wife only spent three months in the Belvedere prior to her passing. During this time I found the staff took very good care of her. I did think they should add additional activities for the memory ward.

Belvedere Commons is a great facility which has provided the help we needed.

It is a smaller facility so one can easily get from one space to another. We have one in Memory Care and the other in Assited Living. They visit often. The facility is updated. The look is fresh. The rooms are spacious compared to others I toured.

A great fit for our family.

A great fit for our family. Belvedere Commons is a smaller residence hall, so it was much to my mother-in-law's liking. My father-in- law is in a room in the Memory Care right around the corner from her Assisted Living studio apartment. He spends most days with her in her studio apartment which is quite spacious. The facility is bright and light. There are 2 lovely courtyards with mature bushes and trees on either side of the dining hall which make dining in a pleasant experience. My mother-in-law actually has her studio apartment on the courtyard so she has a nice outside view all the time. I have heard good reviews of the food. I wish Belvedere had about 10 more workers, but I am pretty sure that is a common problem these days. Those who work with my in-laws have been quite kind to us all. The fact that my mother-in-law could have PT in the facility was added plus. She has also been thankful that she could play the piano and lead the residents in singing once a week. The activities director quickly added her to the calendar of events within a week or two of moving in. That has been a bright spot. Although they would prefer to be in their own home, Belvedere Commons is the perfect place for them at this time in their lives. My mother-in-law really needed more help. She is now getting the help she needed.

My loved ones looked at a larger community but opted for Belvedere Commons for the smaller community feeling. They have made friends and are very happy. Staff are very attentive and helpful.

Our family had an in person tour and the staff members were very friendly but the facility was a bit run down. We did like the dining area. The residents are allowed to help themselves to fruit and other items throughout the day if they wish.

great staff

Our stay was a short term stay but to no fault of the community. The staff members and their friendliness get 10 stars. The meals and dining service was very good. Right when you walked into Belvedere Commons you just felt welcomed, it did not have that "cold" feeling to it. Based on the experience we were able to have we would recommend this community to other families.

Beyond My Expectations

The process of getting my loved one into the community was good and fast. I was very pleased about the process and how smoothly everything went. The staff were great to work with, and they bent over backwards to assist us in moving in. I would recommend them to others for their loved ones. I found them to be competent and friendly during the entire process. I have heard there is a new manager for the community. The community has been able to assist with medication management and bathing assistance as some of the care my loved one is receiving. The room, utilities, housekeeping, laundry service, and changing of linens is included in the monthly rate. There is a beauty salon on site for the residents to use. If needed there is a podiatrist that will come into the community for the residents. I feel safe that my loved one is here and they have come of their shell to make friends.

A great place for loved ones

Our loved one was only there for a month but we had a great experience with them. One of the main reasons we chose Belvedere was the sales guy, he was so helpful and from being out of town he constantly checked in our loved one and was in constant communication with our family. The community itself did need some updating which they admitted, but they spent most of their time and efforts taking care of the residents which to us was most important.

Positive Homey Environment

There was a learning curve when it comes to the community with doctor visits and doctor care, so make sure you understand those. The community is very clean, and the staff is very friendly also. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

Great place for loved one

Our loved one at the community really enjoys the meals that they provide. It is a smaller community and they seem to take more one on one time with the residents, it does not have an institutional feel. It is more like having an apartment in a complex rather than a room in a facility.

Belvedere had a nice home/family vibe. Everyone knew one another and the staff was very keen with client’s needs. Since I was on a virtual tour the view was limited but the facilities looked well maintained and relatively new/renovated. Great place for a loved one to be safe and cared for.

This is where my Mother has resided for two years since moving her up here from Savannah Court and Cottages in Oviedo. We have been very happy with Mom here but it is private pay and does not take Medicaid.

Belvedere Commons is a very welcoming place. The staff are very attuned to the resident's needs It just feels so welcoming and makes you feel a part of the community. When we toured, my mom really liked that smaller aspect of the community and how friendly everyone was. From the beginning, it just seemed like a really great fit. I have been so impressed with the staff's commitment to her safety, well being, and mental health. My mom expressed her gratitude to us for find this place for her.

Very Disrespectful Staff!

My father passed away on a Monday. His svc. was on Thurs. The following Monday, only one week to the day that he died, Belvedere already called me wanting to know where their check was. He had been in the hospital for several days before dying, and died in the hospital. His belonging were in the room for only three days into the new month, but they were sure concerned about those three days. Just for the record, I had already mailed the check on Sat., but they didn't give the check a chance to arrive before calling me. How disrespectful!
