Ortega Gardens, licensed by the state of Florida as an Assisted Living Facility with an AHCA License Number 12414, sits as a single-story community with space for up to 60 residents and offers Studio/Suite housing options that folks can decorate to feel like their own space, with bedrooms, armchairs, dressers, and big windows letting in natural light, which makes everything feel a bit more homelike. There's a real focus on comfort and community, with warm common areas featuring armchairs, dining spaces, TV, phone outlets, and an outdoor patio where people like to sit and talk or just watch the world go by, along with a secure courtyard that has a tiered fountain, palm trees, and plenty of seating. Residents get three nutritious meals a day served in an elegant dining room, with artwork on the walls and a full kitchen set-up, and there's a library and movie theater, a game room, and even an on-site salon for hair styling and pampering.
The staff at Ortega Gardens has training in senior care and handles everything from medication management and assistance with daily activities like bathing and dressing to support with toileting, transfers, and incontinence, plus there's non-ambulatory care for residents with limited mobility and a licensed nurse available to help with individualized health needs. There are memory care services for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, including specialized programs and a dedicated Alzheimer's Special Care Center, and a family-centered approach called the Meaningful Moments program, which draws on each resident's life story to create real moments of delight, engagement, and comfort. The team uses the Positive Approach to Care® developed by Teepa Snow, aiming to support folks living with brain changes and dementia, and there's a care transition program called The First Few Weeks that helps new residents settle in.
Ortega Gardens has a reputation for strong staff commitment, showing kindness and attention to every resident, with safety a priority through 24-hour supervision, fall prevention measures, and a call system that's always available. The facility offers a respite care program to give families a break and a hospice waiver for end-of-life care, and families are encouraged to join in regularly scheduled social events-there's plenty of activities like arts and crafts, social outings, devotional services, structured programs, and sensory-based activities keeping things lively and meaningful. There's also a cognitive learning center and a focus on cognitive, physical, and spiritual well-being, with a success-oriented activities program that gets good feedback from residents and families. Housekeeping keeps spaces clean and comforting, and everything, from the routine meals to the personalized care plans, supports a loving, safe, and supportive environment for older adults dealing with a range of health and memory needs, as Ortega Gardens continues to be recognized for its comprehensive senior care, strong activity program, and person-centered memory care approach.
