The BeeHive has been a wonderful experience for my Mother! She loves the outings that she goes on and the ability to get some of her independence back! Ally is wonderful and is so helpful. I couldn’t be more thankful for the experience we have had at the BeeHive!
The atmosphere here is genuinely family-oriented it doesn’t feel like an institution, it feels like a community. A huge part of that is the Administrator, Ally who is incredibly hands-on and truly listens to the concerns of both residents and their families. The staff goes above and beyond daily. They don't just do their jobs they treat all residents with dignity, humor, and genuine affection. Families have such a relief to sleep at night knowing they are in such capable, compassionate hands.
Dad is about to celebrate his 2nd anniversary at the Hive and he truly loves his "home" with all his friends, 2 wonderful cooks, going on the outings (especially Wind Creek!), and all the staff. This hidden gem of a home with the therapists & RA's that work so hard to keep my dad healthy and happy are the biggest blessing to me.
They are so many wonderful things to check out if you are looking for a place for your Loved ones. Our Family Member has been a Resident at Gulf Breeze Beehive for two years. It is nestled in a wooded setting and easy access to both buildings. The Staff is wonderful.They have so many dedicated people to care for the Residents. They food is good and prepared well. The buildings are so clean and decorated . We love it and when you visit, you will. Check them. out .Bee Hive, Gulf Breeze, .Ally, the Administrator is the person to talk to and show you everything. You will love her!!!!
My dad has been at the Beehive in Gulf Breeze for 2 1/2 years. The home like atmosphere is like none other. Lynn and her staff are always accommodating and respond to my calls and emails in a prompt and professional manner. They regularly ask for an update to my dad’s care plan which helps guide and direct the team to know how to respond and handle his needs. My dad enjoys the meals, and staff is always open to suggestions for improvement and change. The facility even calls family members when their loved one’s birthday arrives asking what meal they could cook in celebration, which is a nice touch. Monthly resident council meetings are held to support families, as well as to help the Beehive staff become better at what they do daily for the residents. My dad now calls the Beehive his home and that's what important.
