Review for The Arbors of Gulf Breeze

My Wife's care is exceptional. The staff is attentive to her needs and desires. She is now in hospice and it was the Arbors staff that helped with that decision. Additionally, the meals are exceptional and tailored to her needs and wants. Additionally, the Arbors now has an Activity Director dedicated to Memory Care!! Great place.

In my opinion the memory care unit needs improvement....

My biggest complaint is, they have lost everything and misplaced my mom's belongings. Nearly all of her clothes have disappeared, and she wears other peoples clothes. The first week the comforter that I had brought her disappeared and has never been back nobody knows where it went for three months her walker disappeared. They found it in another woman's room. She doesn't wear any of her own bras.

They are not very informative. There is also a very high level of staff turnover. Sadly they are one of the better options in this area

The Arbors of Gulf Breeze review

The positives - the facility, my apartment and the amenities that are offered at a 10. I do not want to move! The geographical location is ideal as well. Improvements - however, the Arbors has administrative issues which the residents and myself are very much dissatisfied with. There is inadequate security, and the dining room staff are experiencing shortages.

Tour experience

GREAT tour experience with The Arbors of Gulf Breeze. The only reason we did not go with this facility was because of the further location and the availability of rooms at the time we were looking. Other than that I think this is a great place, if it were me I would move here myself in a heartbeat!

friendly staff

Overall it is a good situation and we would recommend it to other families, but we do have a couple issues. Now this is our loved ones choosing so not completely their fault but when our loved ones meal gets delivered it sometimes is cold and unappetizing. Also we really don't like these specific care charges - we were led to believe three meals would be provided every day and that they can be delivered to their rooms which is true, but its an extra [fee removed] to have the meals delivered. We feel that should of been better explained during the move in process and have more clarification

Good So Far

Overall it has been a good experience. It's a friendly place with good staff. The apartments are good, a little on the smaller side, but that's pretty typical of senior living anywhere. My loved one had some complaints with the food at first, but once she figured out she can select what she likes, she's been much happier. They offer daily activities and trips. The cost seems high but is comparable to other places.

A Super Community, and Very Caring Who are Interested in the Residents

They are very professional, and are a wonderful addition to the community of Gulf Breeze. The food was very good. The activities offered during the time I was there wasn't a lot of outdoor activities available. They had council meetings for the residents that was well organized and professional with wonderful responses.

totally satisfied and 100% comfortable with our loved ones being there

What really makes this place is the staff, they are excellent, and so helpful. This is a very safe place, and a very good place for your loved one. However, they do complain about the meals and for the price they are paying they should be the best meals ever. The portion sizes are not always adequate and it is not always prepared the best.

Acceptable Place to Reside

They do have social activities but I think that it would be great if they did an orientation for the new residents to get used to the community and have someone that they can speak to if they have some issues. It would be nice to meet monthly and check in with residents for any new things, issues or good things that you want to share. The administrative staff work very hard and are very pleasant to work with. We get information in pieces and it would be nice if more communication was there.
