Blue Palms Senior Living of Deland

My mother was a resident here and when they were Good Samaritan they were amazing. My mom passed away on 12/23/2025 was no surprise her dementia won. What was a surprise is that the only call I received was from hospice to tell me the facility called her and told her they thought my mom has passed and the hospice nurse was on her way to confirm. She called back and said yes was deceased. I still have not received one phone call from the facility really?? I can not believe nobody has called offered condolences, beyond wrong! I was going to move her only her dementia was so advanced I didn’t want to move her to a facility that she wouldn’t hear voices she knew. This troubles me so much! She was there about 5 years. Please consider what type of care you want your loved one to have.

A truly great experience with them for a loved one with a history of falling, who was there for nearly 100 days for rehabilitation. Their OT and PT staff were able to make such significant progress with her that she was able to successfully transition to their Assisted Living Facility. The managerial staff are excellent... especially Beth Harner. Equally, the Executive Directive, Jeff Thomas, is very a hands-on leader, who is directly accessible and resolves any issues that may arrise. Michael L. Boswell, Esq.

Please avoid this facility at all costs. They show no genuine interest in rehabilitation. Despite my father’s clear advance directives and repeated family requests, the staff heavily over-medicated him throughout his stay. He was kept sedated and confused almost constantly, which made any meaningful physical therapy or recovery impossible. If you care about your loved one’s dignity and chance to improve, do not send them here.

The staff here truely care about the residents and it shows. There is always activities going on that keep everyone engaged and the food is really good too. While I was visiting they redid the floors and took out the old carpet. It was a little hectic during the work but now the place looks so fresh and welcoming.

After my dads surgery we decided to bring him to Blue Palms for his recovery and I’m really glad we did. The staff was kind and made sure he was taken care of. They checked in on him a lot and made sure he was comfortable. He was a chef, so hes hard to impress when it comes to food, but he actually liked the meals. He mentioned this on multiple occasions while there. He was given a menu with lots to chose from. He was in good spirits the whole time and got better faster than I expected thanks to their rehab program. Would definitely recommend.
