The Beacon at Gulf Breeze

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.

I would definitely recommend The Beacon.

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.

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.

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.

The Beacon takes great care of their residents! All of the staff is so caring and they make a difference. The facility is clean, it's a welcoming environment. And they do amazing making sure there's activities going on!

Very nice place and am so happy my dad is moving in. [name removed] was so helpful. ??. Recommend this place to everyone if you can find a spot. Great location and very convenient. I’m sure my father will be well take care of.

[name removed] is absolutely fabulous and this facility is wonderful. i cannot wait for my mom to move in. The staff seems to be committed to giving the residents quality care. The facility is beautiful and well maintained.

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 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!

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.

I gave my neighbor the information I received from A Place for Mom and he was able to quickly get his mother entered into The Beacon. Another friend who had been sitting with [name removed] before her move, and I visited with her once she was settled. We were delighted with the lovely facility and how happy [name removed] was to be there. We were welcomed by every staff member we saw as we visited and toured with [name removed] in her wheelchair throughout the facility. I have recommended A Place for Mom to all of my friends. Thank you for providing such a positive experience for those of us who may have need of elder care services in the future.

I'd give 5's across the board. The staff knew mom by name by the second day. The dining experience is lovely. Cost for all assisted living is a bit of a shock, but based on the facility and level of service The Beacon's at Gulf Breeze' rates aren't out of line. Finally, a community that ticks the boxes for cleanliness, openness, and friendliness, where residents are treated with dignity.

Everyone on staff that I dealt with at The Beacon at Gulf Breeze was extremely helpful. The move in/out process was extremely smooth and the staff was helpful in making it as convenient as possible to my schedule. Communicating with everyone was easy and my questions were answered in a timely manner. I encountered one housekeeper during my husband's stay. She seemed to be quite thorough. She also made it clear that she would only clean once a week. I always wondered if she was the only one cleaning in the Memory Care unit. The hallways and common areas needed attention daily that they didn't get. Overall, The Beacon at Gulf Breeze is a lovely facility that I would recommend to others.

I would recommend the facility. We picked this community, because of the proximity to my home. It's like all assisted living. Great facility. But you have to be aware of the service.

The Sales Manager, [name removed], is very easy to work with and will help facilitate your loved one's transition to Assisted Living. The med techs and the dining hall staff are great and attentive. The cleanliness and friendliness are very good. The staff and the value for cost are great. I would definitely recommend The Beacon at Gulf Breeze to those looking for an Assisted Living facility.

They need more staffing. There is not enough for the number of residents living there. Dining area needs a good cleaning and tables that don't wiggle. It's too dark in the dining room. Devoid of any type of atmosphere. The food is totally gross and at times unrecognizable as to what it is. I have noticed that sometimes a staff member would roughly place the plate of food in front of the resident rather than serving the food. It was as though they were feeding animals, not human beings. Sad.

I would tell others that the staff here are VERY friendly. They make my friend happy. I would definitely recommend The Beacon at Gulf Breeze to others.
