4.1

My only negative comment is that the management, while doing a lot to help my Mom and we're very grateful to them, were a little pushy about trying to get my Mom to stay there, rather than leave and go to her home in Wisconsin, where she is now and is very happy. I understand they need and want permanent residences but they were a little hard on her.

The Beacon at Gulf Breeze

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.

We picked this community, because it was close to my house, I liked that it's secure-locked doors, and it was smaller. There are some things that they stated that they would provide, but they couldn't do...
