The Retreat at Fort Walton Beach

Alice

It was a beautiful establishment. Ms. Harris was the director, and she was the one who personally did the tour. It was a wonderful establishment. It's new. The grounds are beautiful and wonderfully maintained. The biggest factor that my friend needs is the amount of outside activities, and there needs to be a little bit more activities to engage them. They are more of an apartment setting (it's one level).

I toured. It was a decent community. I wasn't crazy about the layout of the studios because there was too many bedrooms and not enough living space, but the facility itself was very nice. The staff members were very nice and very helpful. They had the usual amenities. They had like a salon. When you walk in, it's very bright. It doesn't feel like a dungeon or anything, which is nice. I don't want my loved one to be somewhere dark and depressing. So I liked the fact that it was bright. Everything was nice except the layout of the studio. The staff who gave the tour was fine. She was nice, so the only improvement that I see would be the layout of the studios.

It is brand new, so everything is immaculate, and it looks nice. I can't remember the name of the person who showed me around and talked to me, but she was very friendly and very nice. I liked her. They have several little dining areas, and they were all nice. It was well lit. It was nice. They also have a separate dining area that you could reserve for family things for up to 20 people, which is very nice, too. They have an exercise area and a movie theater where they show movies. It felt more homey than an institution. It's brand new and it's very nice. Not only were they the nicest looking and newest, but they were also very expensive.
