Blue Palms Senior Living of Deland sits on a large 28-acre campus at 450 N. McDonald Ave in DeLand, Florida, where you'll find seniors living in a place that tries to feel comfortable and home-like, with different styles of living spaces ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments, some with full kitchens or kitchenettes, private patios or balconies, and walk-in closets, plus washer and dryer in select units, and you can see right away that a lot of thought went into details like personal medical alert systems, emergency call systems, and private bathrooms so people feel safe and supported, and with covered parking and outdoor parking lots on-site for both residents and guests, there's room for everyone to visit or stay.
There are many ways to live here depending on your needs, such as independent living for folks who are still able and want privacy but enjoy being active, assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks, skilled nursing and comprehensive rehabilitation for round-the-clock care, and memory care in safe environments for those living with dementia, with the community also providing respite care for short-term stays and home care services with trained aides who come into your home, plus a healthcare center and outpatient therapy including physical, occupational, and speech therapies for anyone who needs help getting strong again after surgery or illness.
Seniors at Blue Palms can bring their own pets if they're able to look after them, and visiting pets are always welcome, while outside areas include landscaped gardens, secure walking trails, and enclosed spots where people can relax and feel close to nature, and inside the campus you'll find a chapel for spiritual needs, a library, a salon and barber shop, a fitness center, religious spaces, and common rooms where people gather for organized activities like arts and crafts, music, games, seasonal parties, educational programs, and social outings, with the calendar always full and plenty of ways for everyone to get involved.
When it comes to dining, they have restaurant-style meals with flexible times, snacks, drinks, and private or room service options, plus choices for people with dietary needs like diabetic, kosher, low fat, or low salt, all made with care so everyone can find something to eat, and with activities staff running everything from exercise classes like stretching, chair fitness, or yoga to literary and music events, the daily routine stays lively and social, so no day feels empty or dull.
People have a choice in room size and floor plans, with units starting at 289 square feet and going up to 1,085 square feet, and each apartment comes with Wi-Fi, cable TV, kitchen appliances, living room areas, furnishings in select units, and closet space, and even though the building isn't smoking-friendly inside, there are outdoor spaces for fresh air, and the whole campus has amenities and services built for comfort and access, including elevators, handicap features, and high-speed internet everywhere.
Services cover a wide range of needs, from personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming, help with meals, reminders for medication, help with going to medical appointments, and even phone call assistance, shaving, and toileting, all provided by a staff team that's trained, licensed, and includes a nurse on staff part-time, along with certified dietary and ambulatory specialists, and when needed, there's help from on-site maintenance, pest control, trash removal, and laundry for general upkeep, so you don't have to worry about those chores.
Transport for medical appointments or shopping trips is available with accessible vehicles and staff help for those who need it, and safety is a main focus, with security checks, wellness monitoring, and emergency procedures in place, along with personal medical alert systems provided in each unit, plus pharmacy services onsite, and psychiatric or hospice care for special circumstances, so seniors and families know help is nearby.
