Yes needs improvement. I would not recommend on memory care side unless changes are made.

I can say that the staff always greeted you and friendly. They can improve on a lot of things: Communication. Answering the phones. Returning phones calls. Returning emails. Should recommend to family that they should not leave valuables on there loved one. Keeping loved one warm and comfortable.

our family experience

We were in the memory care side. The staff was friendly It was clean in the common areas. Our room was cleaned once a week and laundry done. Ours had carpet and when you have someone that has a lot of accidents, I feel they should clean carpets once a week also at least. The tv was always on in the big room. They did activities or had someone come in to play music or they did trivia. The food was really good. I just think they needed more staff for the 35 or so rooms. There were only ever 3 on duty per shift. Other than that it was good.

Great facility and staff

My Step Mom and Dad are both at the Beacon at Gulf Breeze. The facility smelled clean and the staff seemed happy. Most of the MC facilities that I toured smelled like urine and the staff seemed tired. After getting to know the staff at the Beacon, they truly care about the residents.

Our families experience

It's been a really great spot for my father in law. So thankful for your help! I like the layout and the small size. I also really like that they have physical therapy in the building and get my father in law working out every day. The staff is very nice and knows everyone.

Lifes choices

What we like the most about The Beacon is that it has good highway access and shopping nearby. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families as my wife has lived there in Memory Care more than a year & is comfortable & contented.

Happy in new home

Staff and admin have been helpful and friendly. Most of our complaints have been due to staffing instability, which you find at most places. My mom loves all of the activities. Overall, this is the first place where she has felt comfortable since moving out of her house.

The Beacon

[name removed]is extremely helpful and friendly. The staff is so kind and always smiling and eager to help. The building is beautiful. Rooms are set up like a fancy hotel in the hallways. Had to make some modifications in the bathroom to accommodate my dad.

Wonderful Care

The Beacon staff have been wonderful taking care of my Father in memory care. He has such a nice room with his own bathroom and lots of activities to keep him occupied. The food is delicious and nutritious. He is getting such good care there.

Just what my friend needed.

The location was great and very close to my house. This facility came recommended by a friend. It was just what she needed at the time.

Grateful for Beacon

I spent 2 weeks under The Beacon at Gulf Breeze. The staff did exactly what they said they were going to do for us. They were in stand by mode to assist us as we transitioned for another assisted living facility that didn't not live up to what we asked for and did not explain fully how their facility functions. Partly our flaunt for not reading more carefully their bylaws. I have already recommended The Beacon to others as I hear or am asked for my thoughts. We are sadden that we lost our loved one shortly have we moved in because of health issues that began at the previous facility. I give the Beacon a 10!!! [name removed] and [name removed] were the main ones in explaining and helping but, I must say that each and everyone involved with the daily routine were very friendly and helpful in their field or in finding the person who would be the one to take care of the matter. The facility itself was very clean and neat. The hallways had plenty of space and seating so the residents could stop and rest. Everyone greeted you and asked if I needed anything. I can't say enough positive things about The Beacon of Gulf Breeze. Oh and the fact that they had nurses on hand 24hours a day plus office staff had nurses license to assist if needed. No other place had that.

I'd say that families need to know that the base rent charged is not the only monthly expense. Depending on the number of care points assessed, this additional cost can be an unpleasant surprise and isn't talked about much. As far as The Beacon at Gulf Breeze is concerned, it is a good facility with caring staff throughout the organization and I would recommend it to others.

Not recommended

My mother was there for two months. She hated it there. I hated it as well. People sitting in wheelchairs and urinating and no one noticing it. A woman walking down the hall after having soiled herself, crying and no one noticed. One of the servers at meals practically threw the plates on the table. No respect at all for the patients. We moved mom out of there. She lived with family until she passed away last [date removed]. She was happy. For the price of Beacon, I found it unacceptable. No telling how mom was treated when I wasn't there. I do not recommend.

Loving Care

My brothers and I have been very impressed with The Beacon for our 91 year old dad. It is a beautiful facility with excellent care. He requires hospice care now, and everyone has been gracious and supportive and kind with my father and our whole family. We are beyond grateful.

The Beacon

The Beacon is a wonderful place for residents and staff. The environment is positive and friendly. The facility resembles a grand hotel. The proximity to the beach allows our residents to enjoy all that the Emerald Coast has to offer!

Supportive during a very challenging time...

Director of Nursing and Executive Director both have been very compassionate, supportive and patient with us during a very difficult transition period. They have greatly improved on the consistency of staffing.
