Her Heart Village Assisted Living Facility (Autumn) sits in the heart of historic Riverside in Jacksonville, Florida, close to shops and cafes where residents can enjoy neighborhood strolls or visit local businesses. The campus has five buildings with a total of eighty beds, and each building houses only sixteen residents, so people get a quieter, more personal environment. There's a beautiful, secure courtyard with nice landscaping plus dedicated living areas-apartments with kitchenettes, private rooms, and some semi-private rooms, many with private restrooms-for those who need their own space or share with a roommate. The staff is trained to care for the elderly, including those with mental health diagnoses, and the small resident-to-staff ratio helps everyone get more attention. The facility's called Her Heart Village because it focuses on making a family-like atmosphere and giving care that's warm and individualized, offering a range of support as part of different programs, including the Autumn phase.
For those needing assistance, there are many levels of care-assisted living, personal care, and memory care for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia-plus therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Nurses are on hand for 12 to 16 hours each day, with a 24-hour call system and round-the-clock supervision. Staff help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication. Meals come as nutritious, well-balanced dishes served in the dining room, so residents share meals together. The community gets support for laundry, dry cleaning, transportation for outings or appointments, and routine housekeeping. People have access to comforts such as a library, fitness room, arts and crafts, education, walking paths, and organized activities for both health and enjoyment. There are social, educational, and entertainment programs each week to keep life lively and give everyone a sense of belonging.
Her Heart Village also gives a range of care options-the place offers home care support if someone needs visits for companionship, therapy, or skilled nursing in their own room. Adult day care lets people come for daytime activities, and respite care helps families needing short-term help while someone recovers or transitions back to independence. Safety features like a sprinkler system and handicap-accessible areas help residents stay safe, while amenities such as cable TV, wifi, washers and dryers, and guest parking make daily life more comfortable. The staff aim for a family-oriented, patient way of caring, focusing on every individual's well-being. With over thirty years of experience, a warm and supportive environment, and a state license for eighty residents (license #5221), Her Heart Village works to give seniors the backing they need. Families rate the community at 7.3 out of 10-it's a steady and experienced place, offering different services for every phase of need, with specific programs for memory support called Autumn, a welcoming courtyard, and common spaces meant to get people engaged and feeling at home. There's even a virtual tour for families to see the space, and they can pay online for convenience. The overall goal is to help older adults stay as independent as possible, while giving peace of mind, daily support, and a place to belong.
