Hibiscus Court sits in Melbourne, Florida, near the Atlantic Ocean, right across the street from Holmes Regional Medical Center and beside two skilled nursing and rehab facilities, and you'll find it's a medium-sized, three-story senior living community with all levels of care-independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Now, the apartments come in different floor plans with studio, single, and semi-private options, and some even have water views and kitchenettes, which is nice if folks want a little more privacy or to make small meals, and the rooms get wired up for cable and internet, so staying in touch isn't hard. Outdoors, you'll see walking paths, patios, and garden spaces for peace and fresh air, with recreation areas inside that stay busy with games, music groups, and story times, and there's a library, bistro, arts and crafts area, and even a computer spot for residents keen on reading or keeping up with hobbies.
Many folks look forward to the scheduled programs, with lectures, story times, musical events, fitness classes like Tai Chi and chair yoga, trips out to the beach, gardening groups, and daily activities like Wii bowling, karaoke, stretching, and art, plus cooking and community service clubs, and sometimes they do wine tasting and trivia nights, or set up book discussions and pet-focused programs, which gives everyone something to look forward to each day. Hibiscus Court also offers support for pets, so seniors can bring a cat or a dog, and there's pet care, too, for residents who need a hand. Language isn't much of a barrier since both English and Spanish language services are available.
On-site, there's a full-time activities director and 24-hour staff with nurses, licensed practical nurses, and caregivers, and a doctor's on call, so medical support's always nearby, especially with services for diabetes, medication management, physical and occupational therapy, mental health, hospice, skilled nursing, and even an onsite pharmacy, plus regular housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning. For residents with memory issues, there's a secured building dedicated to memory care, and the community uses technology like bracelets and computerized alerts to prevent wandering, offering extra safety for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and staff steps in for behavioral support and complex medical needs with different levels of daily assistance, from light to heavy care.
For transportation, residents get free rides for errands or appointments, along with parking if they drive, and there's help with VA benefits paperwork, financial advice, and payments by insurance, check, or credit card. Special diets, including low-sodium or vegetarian meals, can be arranged, and folks can choose room service if they want, and the dining options include a bistro-style eatery and private dining rooms for family visits. The building itself is wheelchair-friendly, with accessible showers, indoor and outdoor common areas, spa, sauna, recreation rooms with TVs, and everything's set up for secure and easy movement, especially important for people using walkers or with mobility challenges.
Hibiscus Court is licensed by the State and provides an emergency power plan, and while there have been some legal actions involving fines and violations, the team works around the clock to care for residents and make sure health and safety come first. With affordable pricing for an elegant setting, this community offers respite and day stays, and helps seniors with bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, supporting residents even as their needs change over time. Gardens, waterfront views, and tropical weather year-round add a bright atmosphere, and being located in Brevard County puts shops, pharmacies, and parks close by, so life remains active yet simple for seniors who live here.
