North-Lake Retirement Home at 1222 N 16th Ave, Hollywood, FL, called Isle of Psalms, is a senior living facility that's offered care since 1988, still active, and can house up to 60 residents even though it's got a license for up to 114, and you'll find both independent and assisted living options, plus memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's. You get access to doctors, hospitals, and rehab centers nearby, which means medical help isn't far and staff can help arrange rides to medical sessions, shopping, or spiritual places if residents need that kind of thing, and there's always trained staff available to help with bathing, grooming, dressing, meal assistance, and even two-person transfers from bed to wheelchair, while staff stay awake all night so there's always help in emergencies. Folks living here find things kept clean, and there's a sprinkler system and safety features for peace of mind along with cable TV, washers, dryers, WiFi, and guest parking, so it feels homey and secure.
The home is big on keeping its residents active and social, so there's a dining room with three daily homemade meals including meals for diabetes or high blood pressure if that's required, recreation areas for things like music and animal therapy, fitness programs, and art projects, with weekly social nights, regular outings, a garden, a hot tub, and a book room, and you'll see common areas for sitting and chatting, plus planned activities and entertainment to keep residents' days full. The facility provides different room types such as studios, single rooms, one-bedroom, and even two-bedroom or semi-private rooms so seniors can find what suits them best, and there's housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry services to keep things running smoothly.
Residents can depend on their care plans getting updated to fit changes in mental, emotional, or medical needs, whether folks need help with medication, incontinence care, or psychiatric and medical disorders-staff even help with insulin checks and special diets-so even residents with more complicated health concerns get help. There's respite care for short-term stays and hospice care when needed, and you'll spot facilities for safety and easier movement with handicap features throughout. Residents of ages 40 to 89 can live here, and the home allows aging in place so people can stay once they settle in, with both independent living for folks who want to keep up their independence plus assisted living support for those needing more daily help, and everything is under the rules of Florida's Department of Social Services.
Guy Bergeron acts as Director and President, handling reports and filings, and staff try to make residents feel like part of a community by running games, outings, craft activities, music, animal therapy, tabletop games, and regular social events, and arranging transportation for appointments and shopping. You'll find a salon, barbershop, kitchenettes in rooms, and even a mobile hairdresser who visits, so most basic needs and comforts are on-site, and families often feel relieved that there's continuous support for their loved ones. North-Lake Retirement Home doesn't list any awards, and no information is provided about pricing, but everything aims to help seniors live as fully as possible, stay connected with others, and feel comfortable and safe, with memory care and assisted living services available as needed.
