Shiela's Home Care

Shiela's Home Care sits in a gated neighborhood called Stonegate in Land O' Lakes, Florida, nestled among tropical plants and quiet water views, where you find a privately owned, 4200-square-foot adult family care home designed for seniors who need a little help or memory care. The home has space for only five residents, so people live in a close group, almost like family, with staff always nearby to help with dressing, bathing, walking, toileting, and medication. The place is run by a husband and wife team, along with personal care assistants, nurses, and memory care specialists, with Shiela, a Certified Nursing Assistant, leading it all and focusing on folks with memory loss or special needs who need more careful watching. Residents get three nutritious meals every day, with snacks, and can ask for kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or low-sugar dishes depending on their diet needs, and they also can have meals in their rooms if they want, plus there's a private dining area when needed. The staff includes people trained for behavioral care and managing those who become confused or may try to leave, so the home has alarm systems and secured doors, and the memory care area has its own locked space and bracelets to sound an alarm if someone wanders. Nurses, podiatrists, therapists, and other specialists visit, so health needs-big and small-get attention, and people get help with daily living from brushing teeth to laundry, with cleaning and safety checked closely all day and all night. Folks can join in stretching, yoga, gardening, art, games, devotional meetings, outings each week to places around town, and there's an indoor swimming pool with a view of a pond and trees for anyone who enjoys a swim, and there are always books and games around for quieter times. There's also a salon where residents can get hair and nail care done, and the environment feels more like a home than a facility, with cozy living rooms, a big kitchen, shared meals, and a sense of calm and routine. Everyone gets personal plans based on what they need and want, and care levels can be light or full, depending on whether a resident needs reminders or help every hour or only now and then. Beauty, safety, and accessibility are in mind, with wheelchair showers, handrails, and fire sprinklers as well as cable TV, wifi, and comfortable places to sit together inside and out, including an area for gardening or simply looking at the water and the trees. Transportation is provided for outings or appointments, and the staff helps with insurance, explaining differences between assisted living, nursing care, and memory care, and supports families through move-in and other steps. Shiela's Home Care stays licensed by the state and registered with AHCA, with reviews saying residents and families feel welcome and respected, and the home focuses on dignity and independence for each person, working to offer a steady, pleasant life paired with a caring hand. This community provides an option for people who like a smaller, home-like place with a gentle pace and a focus on safety, health, and friendliness.
