My momma was here ! If you want your loved one to have a happy, fun filled, extraordinary life then I suggest the Camellia at Gulf Breeze!!! Hands down the BEST in Pensacola!! The staff are always friendly and ALL of the staff from housekeeping to the director are always involved in making each and every residents life better!!! I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for momma!! The amount of independence you give to all of your residents is truly amazing!

My mother was a resident of this facility after being unable to go up and down the stairs of her home independently. She loved the “home” like atmosphere. The staff are active and know each resident well. It’s like a complete family. Staff do cook, clean, care for residents-but that’s its charm. The residents also look out for one another which is another of its endearing qualities as a facility. This may not be the model for all people, but I’m very glad my siblings looked at it and as a family we listened to what my mom wanted during her time. She was very happy at the Beehive. I recommend it for any person or family that doesn’t want to be a number but a part of a working facility that is family centered. It may not always be perfect. Falls happened at home-because I know my mom will fall in any facility or home because she has weakness and yet is stubborn wanting to remain independent. But when my mom had a fall at the Beehive, the staff were right there, handled things and even called or visited her daily until she could return to her home away from home at the Beehive. It’s a different model than large facilities but I think it’s superior to other options for our aging parents or loved ones.

The Beacon had assisted living and memory care, but the pricing was pretty steep. It's a great, clean facility with attentive staff who got back in touch with me after my visit and checked in with me. The grounds were well kept, and the rooms were nice. It's a higher-end, newer, well-kept facility. The property was very nice. They had a studio and one-bedroom unit that were very clean and very well kept. The facility was constructed in the last six to eight years. There was no noise from the street. It is on the main boulevard, but you don't notice that when you're inside.

The people here are very efficient, very nice, honest and pleasant. They tell you what you get, and you get it. They have very good meals and my father-in-law is actually happy. He's well-fed, and they look after him. Each new patient gets a clean room, and as a patient moves out, they refurbish the rooms. They have plenty of activities. They don't have posh restaurant food, but it looks like good, honest food.

We have chosen here because I need to keep Grandpa in the Medicaid system, and they accept Medicaid. They're very good. I've been happy with the staff. I'm satisfied with the community. Everything looks nice and new. They have great rooms, and some have patios. They also have a very nice area where you can do your own laundry. Their activities are good.
