The Waterford at Creekside

(47 reviews)
"My mother is at The Waterford at Creekside and we like it. They have nice cottages, which only have a maximum of 14 people and two caregivers at each time. She's in the memory care unit. They have nice yards with flowers big enough for them to walk around, but they can't get out because it's all gated. They have the kitchen, the common room, and L-shaped hallways to the rooms. The cleanliness, the staff, and the food are really good. They have birthday parties in the common ballroom, they get manicures, and an entertainer comes in and sings. The nurses and caretakers have been great, and they've been there for years. It smelled really good every time I've been there around lunchtime, and she's been eating pretty good. The grounds are kept up really nice with grass and flowers, and there's gazebo in each yard and a nice porch."

(13 reviews)
"The Arbors of Gulf Breeze was nice and clean. It was in a very nice neighborhood and close to shopping. It was top-notch. It is just a little overpriced, and it's out of our budget range. They had washer and dryer options in the unit, and they had meals in their nice little dining hall. People decorated outside their doors, and it seemed to be a nice community. The manager that gave us the tour was great. My mom has some mobility issues, and the manager was wonderful and very patient. The front desk was not so great. The person there was a little odd, did a lot of staring, and made my mother uncomfortable. The rooms seemed spacious though. They had a balcony/porch depending on what floor, and that was nice."

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 Blake at Pensacola

(13 reviews)
"We moved my mother-in-law in The Blake at Pensacola and that same day was the first day that somebody tested positive. They had to go into a two-week quarantine, so that's been a major problem. However, The Blake is trying. There are a lot of things that are not normal because of COVID and that's mainly the negative. My mother-in-law has a friend that she has known since the 1960s. She was already a client of The Blake, so they sit together now at lunch. They have someone there that they have known forever since they were in their 20s, and that's the main reason it was picked. The rooms are very big. My mother-in-law has about 100 square feet more than most other places, if not more. I've never tasted the food, so I don't really know about the food. My mother-in-law is having everything pureed, but she says it's good most of the time. Well, I'm sure anything pureed is questionable. Plus, my mother-in-law lost her sense of smell about 15 to 20 years ago, so it's kinda hard for her to be objective. I really don't know about activities. My mother-in-law is getting mobile, and right now she is doing a lot of physical therapy. After her stroke, she didn't walk and now she is walking. She has made a lot of progress, but I don't know about the activities. Value for money is fair to good."

"Windermere Memory Care was very good. The administrator is wonderful, letting us see the cameras in the rooms and stuff, explaining procedures and policies regarding COVID, and assuring us. They had activities and good food. It is a secured facility, and we like having a secured facility. The facility was very clean and very well kept. The people seemed happy. We didn't see any active activities going on, but it looked like a very good facility. They have a decent parking lot. We just fell in love with it the first time."

They have different options in the rooms like you can have a private room or you can have a shared room. They do a lot of activities there for the residents, which I like. They have an on-site salon like a beauty salon where they can do hair cuts and they have a podiatrist who comes and they have a lot of services and activities that they do. They're expensive."

"Sodalis Pensacola was the facility we decided on, and my mother is there now. It's as positive as it could be. They actually worked with the doctor to get everything that they needed to admit her, so that was convenient. I had a really good feeling about the location. I wouldn't have trusted them with my family member if I hadn't. All in all, it was as positive an experience as it could be. The staff were great. They were really nice and really engaging. I really got the impression that they care, and they were engaged with the residents. I've seen her playing bingo, I've seen her with a virtual reality headset on her face, and I've seen her play the piano there. As she's adjusting more and more, she's taking part in more and more of the activities that they have for her, which is nice. I'm pretty happy with the value for money, too."

"I toured Noble Senior Living at Pensacola. The place looked clean, but it smelled really bad. The rooms smelled musty and the bathrooms smelled like pee. It was like a tiny motel room at a rundown motel, and there was no way I could put my mother there. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable about how everything was going, and that side was pretty good. The people there seemed okay, they weren't overly joyous, but they weren't complaining or anything. It was pretty quiet. They move around and do everything, I didn't see any of the activities going on. It seems like the administration has not taken care of the place. It needs a roof, you can see shingles are missing and it's starting to get leaks on the ceiling inside. So you can see there are roof leaks, they need to put a new roof in place. She went over the pamphlet, but you didn't see or hear anything about the transportation, the other places, or the activities. She explained them, but I didn't get to see them. They've got a garden, a patio, and a smoking area."

"My brother is at The Residence. It is memory care, but he's in hospice. They take good care of him. They pay attention to his needs. Kimberly and the other girl are very, very nice. There are several of them in there that are just like my brother, and that means a lot. It's nice. It's got a tongue and groove ceiling that's in an arched position. They have a big eating area with several tables and chairs. They have a chef on-site at all times. The facility is clean. They seem to be on top of everything. They've been good. He gets three meals a day, he's able to sit and eat it, and he says the food is good. It's the cheapest place I've found. I feel like he's getting what he pays for. You always think it's a little high, but it's cheaper than any place else I have been to see and visit. They help out with everything. They give him his medication, they give him his bath, and they change him. If they need feeding, they feed them. They pretty much handle everything. They get him dressed in the morning. I think they deserve a five in all categories."

He does not have any complaint with the food. They seem to have something going on at 11:00 and at 3:00. I will recommend it because it is friendly, and it has good service. The staff is very good. They have about seven buildings there, and this one is among the larger ones in Pensacola. I do recommend it to others. The staff is great, and the people kind of mingle all day.

The lady who gave me the tour was very nice. I didn't taste any food, but the menu that I saw looked good. They have outdoor spaces and some books available, but I did not see a gym. The facility looked good. One thing they told me that I didn't like was if a person there is not able to have their meals in the dining room, they would charge $10 just to take the plate into the room for them. That's an additional charge, and I didn't like that."

There have been some problems on the other shifts, but I have been working with the executive director, who is very responsive. His room is certainly large enough and has a bed, a dresser, chairs, and a closet. It has a built-in seat in the shower, which is nice because he is unable to walk at this point. The food seems very good. All rooms have outdoor access through a window, so everyone is able to see outside whether to the courtyard or the outside. It is a very nice place. "

"BeeHive Homes of Gulf Breeze was very nice. It's just that the rooms were smaller. They didn't have the microwaves or the refrigerators in them. It was a much smaller community by design. Also, it was considerably more expensive. Other than that, the memory care had a nice separate sitting area that looked like a living room, where you could watch TV, do puzzles, or read. They had a nice deck out there that overlooked a little pond, which was really pretty, as well as a little separate activities room. It was very clean, and the staff was just wonderful."
