Catholic Senior Living offers a comprehensive range of services designed to enhance the quality of life for older adults who need assistance beyond what regular retirement communities or family members can provide, but who do not require the level of care found in a nursing home or hospital. The community’s two primary assisted living facilities, St. Anne’s in South Miami and St. Joseph in Lauderdale Lakes, provide residents with a model of care focused on fostering independence and self-sufficiency, while offering daily support from dedicated onsite care teams. These professionals work to maximize each resident’s emotional well-being and quality of life, delivering daily physical, social, and spiritual support.
At St. Anne’s and St. Joseph, residents and their families benefit from a personalized approach that includes assistance with daily activities, wellness programs, social engagement, and dining options tailored to individual needs. Both communities are attentive to amenities that enhance comfort and privacy. For instance, all private rooms at St. Joseph have been recently remodeled, while St. Anne’s features a newly added outdoor gazebo and is transitioning to private-only living spaces. These upgrades underscore a commitment to creating relaxing, comfortable environments where residents can enjoy time with family and friends.
The philosophy at Catholic Senior Living is rooted in respect, privacy, and the nurturing of religious freedom, with a strong emphasis on maintaining each resident’s sense of dignity and autonomy. The environment encourages independent living as much as possible, while still providing access to the necessary assistance for activities such as meal preparation, transportation, personal hygiene, medication management, and healthcare coordination. Onsite staff is available to help manage chronic conditions, mobility issues, incontinence, and even support for those living with disorders such as Alzheimer’s.
Spiritual care is an integral part of the experience, ensuring that residents have opportunities to engage in meaningful spiritual activities aligned with Catholic values and traditions. In addition, vibrant social and recreational programs foster an active community atmosphere, helping residents build friendships and maintain connections with others.
Catholic Senior Living also recognizes the challenges faced by family caregivers, offering flexible respite care services at both St. Anne’s and St. Joseph. This program allows caregivers to take necessary time away, whether for personal rest or professional obligations, with the reassurance that their loved ones are receiving attentive, compassionate care in a safe and welcoming environment. Respite stays can be tailored from a single day up to several weeks, depending on individual needs.
The facilities themselves are well prepared for any potential disruptions, such as South Florida’s frequent weather-related outages. Each assisted living location is equipped with state-of-the-art, full-service onsite generators to guarantee continuous operations and the well-being of all residents.
Choosing Catholic Senior Living means becoming part of a well-coordinated care network. The staff maintain a thorough knowledge of each resident’s health history and coordinate seamless communication among the entire care team. This coordinated approach minimizes potential gaps in medical records or misunderstandings across providers, ultimately improving outcomes and peace of mind for residents and families alike. With their compassionate team and dedication to Catholic values, St. Anne’s and St. Joseph offer seniors a supportive, fulfilling, and dignified living environment.
