Ask about this communityTwin Cities Pavilion is an assisted-living residential facility in central Niceville, Florida, operated by Elder Services of Okaloosa County. The operator lists the community as established in 1981 and describes its care level as standard. Its facilities are intended to provide supportive living for older adults with low or modest incomes, people with disabilities, and people recuperating. The operator describes care as a continuum through the end of life with hospice support. Assistance is based on state guidelines and individual needs, with residents encouraged to do as much as they are able.
Personal care can include help with bathing, shampooing and dressing, with the amount of assistance tailored to each resident. Profile information also lists help with daily activities and transfers, 24-hour supervision, a 24-hour call system, and support related to diabetes and incontinence. The operator says care-level decisions are made in consultation with the attending physician, facility director, resident sponsor and CARES. Staff can help arrange medical appointments; transportation and an escort may also be arranged. In an emergency, the operator says county 911 services are called.
Medication support has specific limits: facility staff are not licensed to administer medications. Instead, they supervise and record residents’ self-administration. Medications are stored in individual containers in a central area, and residents are encouraged to come at designated times to take prescribed doses. Room sizes and shapes vary, and residents may bring their own furnishings or use facility furnishings without an additional charge. Rooms are available for double occupancy or as private rooms with shared bathrooms. Small appliances are not allowed in rooms, though residents may use a community kitchen.
Utilities are furnished. Cable television, internet and telephone service can be arranged privately for individual rooms, and a television in a common room is available to residents who do not arrange in-room cable. Meals are served in the main dining room, described by the operator as a family-style space. Menus are developed with a registered dietitian; meal preparation restricts salt, sugar and fats, while residents may season food at the table. Temporary room service is available after a hospital stay or during a short-term illness. Coffee, water and tea are provided throughout the day.
Planned activities include bingo, crafts, board games and community outings, with special events scheduled during the year. Local churches, organizations, groups and volunteers sponsor some activities. Other listed options include movie nights, music programs, resident-run activities, day trips and devotional gatherings. Shared spaces and amenities include a library, walking paths, a garden, a patio, outdoor common areas and a barber or salon. In central Niceville, the community is near shopping, banks, pharmacies and restaurants; the operator reports that a hospital and physician-office complexes are approximately three miles away.

Called to ask about an issue going on with my mom. And a lady named Tina answered the phone very rude and disrespectful. Didn’t sound very happy to be working there. Will be calling back tomorrow to talk with management about her attitude

Twin Cities Pavilion was very nice. The person who gave the tour was very nice and very helpful. The rooms depend on size, if my mother-in-law has to have a roommate, it was pretty decent and was pretty big. If she has to live by herself, the room was pretty small. The cleanliness was very good so far from what I could tell, the maintenance was up to date. The dining area was just a typical dining area. Nothing was going on when I went, but they have some activities. I like that it is privatized and it's a smaller community. The only thing I don't like about it is it's right in the middle of…

Amanda and everyone are awesome and hard workers.
I Love the residents....never a dull moment :)
This is a wonderful facility. Amanda and the staff are great! My mom has been there for about 3 years. I don't have any complaints. The facility is moderate, nothing fancy. She has all she needs. They have a beauty shop. She gets her nails and hair done weekly.
This place is wonderful! It isn't one of the newer fancier assistant living facilities but the staff make up for that. It meets all of my mom's needs and I feel very confident she is in great hands.
Amanda, her staff and lots of volunteers make this a great place to live for folks who need assisted living. The facility is well maintained, albeit a bit dated. My in-laws have lived at the facility for over one year and feel at home. The staff is very attentive and really care about what they are doing. Local community volunteers also spend a lot of time visiting and provide much appreciated interactions.
