My family member lived at the Beehive of Gulf Breeze nearly a year. It was a wonderful facility compared to others in the area. The staff were helpful and always considerate of my parent and her needs. I never imagined that a small facility with a family type setting would be successful with my parent but it was PERFECT!!! She loved having a family style meal so she wasn’t alone at meal times. She ate more than when she was alone. I know my mother lived longer and those extra days were because of the happiness she had with her family at the Beehive. She was safe and happy....which was worth every penny!

We really like BeeHive Homes of Gulf Breeze. We found it to be clean and acceptable, and it's where we're going to have my mother-in-law go. Erika, the person who helped us, was quite engaging and knowledgeable. The dining area appeared to be spacious, with one long table where it's kind of a family dining situation where all the residents eat together. I actually went there during one of the dining times and the people had nothing but good things to say about the facility. They enjoy their meal options and if they don't like what's being served, they certainly have the ability to have something else prepared for them. I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the way the people were engaging with the clients.

We moved into BeeHive Homes of Gulf Breeze. We have concerts, musicians that come in, a Christmas party, and a special meal at St. Patrick's Day. They do a lot of reading and walking with a walking club, and quite a bit of medical help.
