The Addison of Gulf Breeze

I went to this facility. I felt welcomed. Everyone I spoke with was genuinely interested in helping me make my decisions. It was a positive visit. The facility was clean, nice, and modern. It was decorated beautifully.

We are planning on moving my mom here. I've seen it and I liked all the amenities they had for her. I liked the people and the staff was kind. They have a memory care facility, which is something she needs. It was a good and clean place. I have also tried their food and it was excellent. I was treated wonderfully by the staff during my visit. They are very kind and very understanding. It was just a great experience there. It's a big facility and they seem to have what they need. It's also sectioned off well. There is a whole section of people who can get around and do things on their own, and then there's a section for those who can't. They keep that separate, which is a good thing, so I was impressed with their layout. I like the way that they didn't have everything all mixed up.

We're pleased with where my husband is at right now. We were very pleased when we met the staff. It's a nice place. The staff is very caring and kind. They laugh and joke, and they're very nice people. They have a dining area. The food is good. They have day trips if any of them are interested in going on that. They have a very good, very sweet, very upbeat, happy lady that does the activities.

The people were very, very nice and very helpful. The facility was very clean. We are excited to move my father-in-law there. They have a putt-putt course, chess, and a bunch of stuff. They gave us food to try, and it was very good. They had an exercise room, a card table, a movie theater, and a little gym. The 1-bedroom apartment was spacious and clean.

It is something that I wish I had known about a long time ago. The tour experience was amazing. Michael was our tour guide, and he explained everything. He showed us what family members can come and experience with their loved ones. I didn't see anything wrong with it. It would be hard for me to accept that my dad would not want to. This place is awesome. It's close to his dialysis center and it's close to even my house. They have a great menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have the option of doing an ala carte. I have not seen that at any other places. They have transportation if they need it, and they do trips in the assisted living side to like baseball games in Pensacola to see the Wahoos. They go out to eat or to different shopping centers. It's a community within the community and they try to let these people have a good time, make them feel they're not alone, but yet still independent. It's a really good place. They have a variety of rooms that they can choose from and they can start as a studio apartment up to a one-bedroom. If they're still married, for added fees, the spouse can live with them. The rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are accommodating, no slips, there are bars, and there are chairs in the showers. They take their safety seriously with the guests there. I got to observe the dining hall for dinner, and it's enormous and very spacious. They have room for guests that are in wheelchairs. They even have a separate room if the family wants to come and dine with their loved one. They have karaoke nights, a happy hour, and a movie room. They have recliner chairs in there for them, comfortable seating, and popcorn machines. They have two courtyards, and the one for assisted living has putt-putt golf and outdoor seating. It's like a covered patio area where they can go and eat outside or go in and out all day. It's just beautiful. I got to see their arts and crafts facility there. We got to see the nurses taking care of and serving meds to the guests there. They can have pets in their room or I can bring our dogs to see my dad. I had a chance to look at their menus and these are not regular cafeteria menus. They try to give them a variety of things every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At dinnertime, if they don't like what's on the menu, they have a menu that's ala carte. They can have like a club sandwich or a hamburger with chips or fries. They have a wide variety of drinks that are available to them and it's healthy food. You don't get that at skilled living nursing homes or some of the other facilities where they have a set menu. They give them a pretty good variety of options for their menus. Even some of the guests that we met loved it there. Michael was amazing. He didn't leave anything out. He showed us everything this place has to offer. He was very accommodating and he answered all our questions. Even with figures and numbers, they explained everything very well. There was no confusion. They let us know about the programs that offer assistance to people that may need it. After a certain time, you can have visitors, but people just can't walk in and out. They have that extra protection for the guests and the staff.

We visited and it's a very nice place. It was clean and the staff was very attentive to everybody there. We went on a Sunday and they came in on a day off to show us around. The rooms were nice-sized, they were also single rooms. It was just generally a nice facility. They had a schedule posted on what activities they had going on, and they had a bus that would take the residents around.
