Caring Hands Assisted Living sits at 12735 North Miami Avenue in Miami, Florida, offering both assisted living and board and care. Prices for assisted living start at $4,196 a month. The community provides care for seniors who need help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, medication reminders, and meals, and it offers respite care when primary caregivers need a break. For those dealing with memory loss, Caring Hands has a special, secure area just for memory care, with trained staff and features to keep residents safe, like wander alert systems and bracelets that set off alarms if someone tries to leave. The facility can look after people who wander, have major behavioral needs, or need help moving around, even with mechanical lifts. There's always staff on duty, day or night, and healthcare providers like doctors, nurses, podiatrists, and dentists come in for visits.
Residents get to live in either studio or semi-private rooms, with options for private and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and showers, and there's both indoor and outdoor spaces where everyone can spend time. Meals are planned by chefs and dietitians, with Kosher and vegetarian choices available, and they make sure to use good ingredients so everyone gets the nutrition they need. The calendar fills up with community activities and group events to engage people socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and the staff, who speak Armenian, Spanish, and English, aim to be friendly, helpful, and respectful.
There's a strong focus on safety with round-the-clock security, a backup generator for power outages, a secured community, and safety locks to prevent wandering. The facility welcomes people who use wheelchairs or need special non-ambulatory care, and it provides services like diabetic care, incontinence management, behavioral support, and hospice care. Smoking is allowed only outdoors. Residents or their families can use transportation services and there's parking on site. Doctors, hairdressers, and other specialists visit, and visitors and residents generally find the place warm and welcoming. Personalized care plans adjust to everyone's unique needs, with memory care and adult day services included, and the whole approach stresses both independence and well-being in a supportive home-like environment. More information is available on their website.
