We toured more than 2 dozen facilities in the Santa Rosa and Escambia counties to find just the right place for our family member. This place is absolutely wonderful with activities every single day! It is independent living, not assisted living, so there is no nurse on site. However, many residents utilize home nurse services for minor routine monitoring and assistance. The owners show genuine concern in the safety of their residents, their comfort and happiness and reinvest in keeping the entire facility clean and fresh. They just completely remodeled the interior, replacing all common area carpets, paint, light fixtures and all furniture! What was replaced didn't look so bad, but they wanted to modernize the look. They even replaced large systems like HVAC and roof. The staff are friendly and helpful. Not many quick turnover with many staff members having worked their for over a decade or more. The environment is healthy for the residents. Many still have cars, but for those who no longer drive, they have a sign up shuttle who takes them to appointments, outings, and scheduled events. New security system supports resident safety with sign in and out of ALL non resident visitors and vendors. The system is top notch with facial recognition after initial sign in. No hindrance in keeping track of who are on site. The pricing is very competitive and we consider it more than fair. Our family member has been there since Aug of 2024. She feels at home there. Her one bedroom apartment is 960 so ft! All services are included in the price except for personal toiletries or care products. No more cooking, cleaning or repairs. Just active living doing what you can when you can and however way you want yo do it. We highly commend the staff and recommend the facility for any senior who wants to continue active living with safety and services included. Photos were taken during move in Fall of 2024, but should give you an idea. No common area photos are included, because everything looks more wonderful since the remodel and I didn't have any that did it justice.
