Has Gone Downhill

We moved into this facility in February 2024. At the time it was called The Beacon. The facility was great at the time. The building was, and still is in great condition, with custom finishes evident throughout. In July 2026, the facility was purchased by Sonida, who changed the name to The Addison of Gulf Breeze. Since then, it has gone downhill. Technicians came in and changed the wifi, slowing it from 160 megabytes/second to 30 megabytes/second. It drops out 7 to 8 times a day, making it difficult to use to stream television. Complaints have been made, but after 3 weeks, no repairs have been made. We have been forced to buy interne commercially in order to watch TV. The quality of food has also suffered. If you do not like chicken, then you had better stay away from here because you are going to get it a lot. Its just that the menu variety has narrowed considerably. One last thing. I have had to wait as long as 1 hour getting assistance after hitting call button.

Enjoyed the tour as well as the admin. director. All my questions were answered. It is an excellent facility with many amenities that the residents can enjoy. There is only one aspect that I am not a fan of and that is the one time fee that is non-refundable. Otherwise everything seemed within reach - money wise, however, not sure whether or not my husband will qualify for the assisted living aspect of the facility because he will be in need of much assistance with mobility issues, getting dressed, transferring from bed to chair and chair to bed. Also, will need someone to take him to the dining room.

Shelley answered all of my questions and put me at ease when sharing concerns regarding other facilities I previously toured. The Beacon is my number 1 choice for my mom. EL

I took a tour of this building with the sales director [removed price]. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and very easy to speak to and answered any questions that I had about the building and the people there. We are considering a move there, and if we do make the decision to do that, it will be because Shelley was so amazing and helped us dramatically. The building itself was very nice and clean. It looked very well staffed who also seemed to care about their residence there. Overall, this seems to be a great building we are highly considering.

Friendly and supportive place for family.

Very helpful and available to answer questions timely. Inclusive with all family members and allow visits with pets. She chose a studio w/ a kitchenette. The bathroom is fully accessible for someone with mobility difficulties. She is able to have her preferred snacks and drinks readily available without needing to go to the dining room. She can go to the dining area anytime for snacks if she prefers. She has room for a small sofa and recliner in her room and view of the courtyard/garden from her room. Staff provide laundry service, house cleaning and assistance with personal activities of daily living if needed. Outings into the community are planned. Medical primary care access is available at the facility, which is very convenient and supports quicker access to healthcare.

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.

Wonderful staff and beautiful facility

The facility is gorgeous and always decorated and always smells good. The staff is extremely friendly. Especially a vein in marketing and the Director and [name removed] at the front counter. I love all those people. The size of his room is good for him. It's small like a dorm room and sometimes he wishes he had a room where the bedroom was separate from the living area, but I don't know that anything like that is available with the same price.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Florida’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Florida’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
