Overall, reviewers describe Surfside Manor as a clean, basic assisted living setting where residents can take part in activities and enjoy an ocean-side location. One family member whose mother has Alzheimer’s praised the care and said the facility’s support made the longer travel distance worthwhile. A resident also described receiving helpful assistance from the administrator with housing and financial matters. These accounts are positive but do not provide detailed information about clinical services or the range of care available.
Staff feedback is mostly favorable: reviewers describe employees as caring, friendly, and familiar with residents. One visitor found staff somewhat reserved and said they needed to initiate questions, while another family member had difficulty passing a message to a resident because they were not on the authorized contact list. Families may wish to clarify contact-list procedures and visitor communication expectations. The reviews do not provide information about dining or meal quality.
Activities mentioned include arts and crafts, bingo, and informal interaction among residents and staff. The building is described as older and basic, though maintained, with updates underway; one visitor found a resident’s room small. The large entrance lounge serves as a gathering space, but its busy, open layout felt overwhelming to one visitor. The coastal setting and nearby boardwalk are clear advantages, while distance and parking can make visits less convenient. A few positive resident reviews express strong satisfaction, but the available accounts offer limited detail about daily routines and services beyond staff interactions and activities.
