Royal Dalton House sits in the Sugarmill Woods community near Suncoast Parkway in Homosassa, Florida, right on the Nature Coast, and being family owned, folks say it does feel like someone's looking out for the place most days, offering assisted living, memory care, independent living, and short-term rehab services. There's a British, Tudor-style design on 60,000 square feet, so you get the sense of an elegant home rather than a big institution, and with 65 suites all in a variety of floor plans-studio and one-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes-you can choose what fits, though you'd need to call to see which ones are open. The assisted living side covers things you'd expect, like help with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, preparing meals, cleaning up, laundry, and getting to appointments or out shopping, though those who want to do more on their own can, since the staff aims to let residents keep their independence.
The staff stays on-site 24 hours a day, so someone's always there for help, and the Memory Care Center-set up with 20 secure suites-offers both private and companion rooms, extra safety features for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and trained aides watching over things round-the-clock. There's no Medicaid accepted, but the staff will go through payment options if you ask. The grounds stand out, having a big landscaped courtyard with fountains and a putting green for mini golf, and on the second floor, you'll find terraces where residents can bring guests for visits. Indoors, there's an English-style pub, a theater room for movies, an arts and crafts program, and a full-service salon and spa with a jacuzzi for relaxing. Wi-Fi works throughout the buildings, and washers and dryers are on each floor so folks don't have to haul laundry too far.
Dining's handled by an onsite chef, so residents get three meals a day and have the choice between sit-down dining, patio seating alfresco, room service, or setting up a private family meal for special occasions. There's also an elegant dining room for neighbors to gather or a pub for a bit of socializing during happy hour.
Activities happen daily and cover a good spread, from chair yoga and noodle ball to bingo, crafts, board games, and spa days for hair or nails, all meant to keep folks learning, laughing, and staying social. For anyone coming short-term-maybe after a hospital stay or because a family member's out of town-there's respite care charged by the day. The building runs on full emergency backup power if there's an outage, and transportation's available for shopping or trips to medical appointments.
The Royal Dalton House aims for a person-centered approach, which means the resident's needs and pace come first, allowing for as much independence as someone wants, no matter if they're in assisted living, memory care, or independent living. With secured areas for residents who might wander, plus programs designed for mental and social well-being, residents have ways to stay safe and engaged. The arts and crafts room, wellness center, rehab services, and chapel/theater round out offerings that try to bring a bit of everything for body, mind, and spirit. Licensed as an Assisted Living Facility, AHCA license number 13161, with 76 beds on campus, Royal Dalton House serves older adults in Sugarmill Woods and nearby neighborhoods on Florida's Gulf Coast, for those seeking a community where the aim is comfort, care, social activity, and good food in a spot that still lets you feel at home.
