The Arbors of Gulf Breeze

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.

Beautiful clean apartments and common areas. Good food with an extensive option menu. Friendly and helpful staff, variety of activities.

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

I would recommend to others. They have friendly and caring staff.

Every employee we ever interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Place did not reek of urine, unlike others we have seen.[name removed] goes above and beyond, every single day! She is amazing- with her knowledge, ability, friendliness, understanding and dedication to all the residents and their families!!!

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.

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

I would highly recommend this community for you or your loved one. They have activities like games, bingo and more for the residents to do to have a good time.

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.

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.

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.

My first impression with The Arbors right away was just how friendly and helpful the staff members are.

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.

We chose The Arbors because I liked that they made a home visit and interacted with my father and seemed to be very genuine, caring individuals. The room sizes are very spacious. They have been great with communication, they send emails and phone calls when needed. I would actually stay here myself, it is a very nice facility. The meals here are chef prepared. They also have an independent living and assisted living on top of memory care. I would highly recommend.

The food is the biggest complaint, they have good portions but the quality of the food is not good. It is pretty expensive, this facility was brand new when we went to look at it. The manager does a great job, she is very attentive. They do provide a one bedroom and two bedroom, they are very adequate size. The bathrooms are pretty big. They do give the residents refrigerators but they are dorm size so pretty small. We would recommend this to a family or friend.

The community was kept clean. I think the staff could have been a little more concerned with the well being of the residents than they are. I didn't participate in the activities, however I understand that they did offer some. I did not feel that The Arbors Of Gulf Breeze was a good value for the price and I thought it was much too expensive.

Very poorly managed - poorly run.
