Heron

Heron sits at 67 Coco Plum Dr in Marathon, Florida, and has offered care since 1988. The place has 16 beds in a licensed assisted living facility, and they accept seniors who want help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, laundry, and bathroom support, and you'll find they handle medication management too. They serve three meals a day with snacks and have furnished rooms where residents can feel at home, plus common spaces indoors for gathering and socializing. Heron serves residents who need assisted living, non-ambulatory care, diabetic and incontinence care, and their staff are there all day and night. They're also set up to support people with memory-related illnesses like Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease, and they do supervision and 24-hour care in memory care units, which makes it easier for families to trust their loved ones will get support. The Heron holds a limited mental health license (AL8523) and offers mental health and substance use services contracted through Thriving Mind, with mobile response support reaching people in Monroe and Miami-Dade counties, plus a connection to the Guidance/Care Center, Inc., and Marc Group Home for those who need a structured setting. People living here get onsite and offsite activities, devotional opportunities, and transportation to doctor's appointments and shopping, so there's a chance for new experiences and keeping schedules full. They believe in linking residents to mental health professionals and support services, and there's a strong commitment to a drug and alcohol-free environment. Pets are allowed, so those with a furry companion can keep them close. The Heron is an affordable senior living choice and has an in-person visitation policy for family and friends, helping keep everyone connected, and there's a clear application and referral process for those interested in moving in.
