PositiveThe Retreat at Fort Walton Beach
Everyone at The Retreat has been most thoughtful from the first visit. This includes the reception desk, dining room help, people who arrive after a resident pushes a button, recreation director, nurses, physical therapy and housekeeping. I hope that I have not forgotten anyone. My friend made an excellent choice when she chose The Retreat.
★★★★★
PositiveThe overall appearance inside (very clean, cheerful, and new) and the recruiter who gave us a tour were the main reasons we chose this facility over others. They also offer super activities for the residents!
★★★★★
PositiveThe only reason 1 is a 4 is due to the length of time to fix the air conditioner. The staff are very friendly. One of the nurses I met with was very caring.

CriticalReview for Bayport of Fort Walton Beach
Hire more people, better accounting, more in tune management. Consistently was understaffed. They fell apart, mismanaged. Moved mom to another place
★★★★★
Positiveoverall nice community but room for improvement
frequent turnover so hard to answer the staff question. There are some lovely people that work there. The activity ladies [name removed] and [name removed], [name removed] in sales and the kitchen manager [name removed] and staff are wonderful. Staff morale is down due to inadequate staffing. In the past year there has been 3 changes in administration staff, which is very concerning. I realize this is a very challenging field to work in but there seems to be a problem.

PositiveHighly Recommend
We were VERY happy! It's a stunning facility, absolutely gorgeous & always clean! It feels like you are at a resort! The staff are very communicative & kind. There are soooo many activities & something for everyone to do every single day. I especially appreciated the care team & how they would call me whenever they had a concern or question.
