Care and who we serve
Honest about who we can care for, and who we can't.
One home in two buildings, licensed by Florida for Standard and Limited Mental Health assisted living, for adults 18 and over. Residents do well here when they don't need round-the-clock nursing, but do need structure, stability and a calm place to live.
Everyday care
Help with daily life
- Bathing, dressing, eating and getting around
- Medication management by med-trained staff, exactly as prescribed
- Injections and nursing tasks through an outside Home Health agency, using the resident's own insurance
- Supervision around the clock, with awake staff checking on residents through the night
Doctors and support
- A primary care doctor, a psychiatrist and a social worker visit regularly
- Residents can keep their own doctor
- We help arrange transportation to medical appointments (we don't drive residents ourselves)
- Every staff member has passed a Level 2 background screening
Mental health
A specialty, not an afterthought.
Our Limited Mental Health license means we care for adults living with conditions including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety, when they are medically and psychiatrically stable and suited to shared living. A psychiatrist and a social worker visit regularly.
We are not a crisis or psychiatric stabilization setting.
Memory
Not a locked memory-care community.
Mild forgetfulness is usually fine. Moderate memory loss can work when someone is functional and doesn't wander. Our buildings are not secured, so advanced dementia, wandering or trying to leave are not something we can safely care for, and we'll tell you so plainly.
