What You Should Know About The Opal on Hermitage
The Opal on Hermitage is a great smaller community with only 50 apartments. All on one floor so there are no stairs or elevators to worry about. Our community is very easy to get around in, no matter which direction a resident goes when they leave their apartment, they will get to the area they want to go to as we just go around in a square circle.
Opal is the only assisted living community in Tallahassee that has secured doors so no one from the street can just walk in. Everyone has to ring the doorbell and get let in just like at your house. This makes it very safe for our residents. They know that everyone we let in is here for a reason and safe to speak to.
I really feel our care staff is 2nd to none, we are very family-orientated and our care staff treats every resident as if they were their own loved one.
Our community can work with Hospice so our residents can age in place.

Multiple emergency pull cords are located in all of the apartments, as well as strategically around the community. Pendants (necklaces or bracelets) are offered but not required.
