La Casa Assisted Living & Memory Care Community sits in the historic district of Merritt Island, which is a place with some history and is easy to find, and the building itself is just one story so folks don't have to worry about stairs or elevators. The community's got two main wings, one for assisted living and the other for memory care, and that means residents can get just what they need, whether that's help with everyday tasks or more special attention for those dealing with memory issues like Alzheimer's or other dementias. Caregivers and professional staff work around the clock, keeping track of a safe ratio of staff to residents, and always ready to help. There's a friendly and close-knit, almost family feel to the place, and the people who work here really do focus on dignity and respect, doing their best to make residents feel at home.
They offer private rooms, and some are already furnished, each with emergency call systems, private bathrooms, and cable or satellite TV, which makes life easier and more comfortable for residents who want their own space or a bit of privacy. The kitchen staff prepares three meals a day plus snacks, with meals cooked right on-site and planned by folks who pay attention to nutrition and a balanced diet, so residents get proper meals without worry. Some extra help's available too, like medication management using an electronic medication system and pre-packaged medication that gets delivered once or twice each day, all run by licensed nursing staff who handle diabetes care, incontinence care, and even more if needed, from x-rays and blood work to visits from podiatrists and primary care physicians.
For residents who want to keep busy or who need more mental stimulation, the staff puts together all sorts of social activities, mind-stimulating and therapeutic activities, plus things like adult day care, respite care, and programs designed for people with memory loss, and that's in addition to community spaces meant to make it easier for folks to socialize and stay engaged with one another. Amenities at La Casa include beauty and barber services, housekeeping, laundry, a courtyard, controlled access for safety, close transportation, and convenient parking, so residents and families don't have to worry about details like getting out for appointments or keeping the place tidy. The community runs from 9am to 5pm every day, licensed under AL11568, and is operated by Southern Life Operating Investments LLC, and it's also part of Innovation Senior Living, which has a good name for caring for seniors with respect and compassion.
La Casa has a paid referral program for residents and their families, and people can pick from hourly, daily, or long-term stays depending on their needs, all in a setting that aims to be safe and secure so families can feel that their loved ones are well-looked after, especially those who tend to wander or need extra help to prevent confusion. With a review score of 8.0 from 5 reviews, awards for care and friendliness, and a commitment to high-quality senior housing at fair prices, La Casa offers assisted living and memory care options with community spaces where residents can gather, socialize, and enjoy their best years with the support they need and as much independence as possible.
