Has Gone Downhill

We moved into this facility in February 2024. At the time it was called The Beacon. The facility was great at the time. The building was, and still is in great condition, with custom finishes evident throughout. In July 2026, the facility was purchased by Sonida, who changed the name to The Addison of Gulf Breeze.

Our experience with the Beacon has been a quality experience . The staff was so helpful with tips to get my mother in law settled ... and made her feel like family ..And their price structure was straight forward ... unlike other communities we looked into .. they felt like they were going to charge extra for every little thing ...

Great Caring staff

The staff at The Beacon is very caring and attentive to resident needs. While I was in the facility, one of the residents came by the office just to give hugs! The personal connection between residents and staff is apparent. Great job Beacon!

I recently toured the Beacon for a place for my mom. The Beacon. It Is beautiful! The staff and Shelly, the sales manager, are all very nice. Shelley answered all of my questions and put me at ease when sharing concerns regarding other facilities I previously toured. The Beacon is my number 1 choice for my mom. EL
