Izquierdo Home Care I sits in Miami, Florida, and serves as a small, licensed assisted living community with room for up to six seniors at a time, providing different kinds of care like assisted living, memory care, respite care, and board and care. The place has private and semi-private rooms, with features like private baths, wheelchair friendly showers, and accessible tubs so folks can manage safely and comfortably. Staff is around 24 hours a day to help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, medication, and bathroom reminders, and they've got a special focus on seniors living with memory problems like dementia, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's, giving extra support for folks prone to wandering or who need steady routines and close supervision.
The building has both indoor and outdoor shared spaces, garden areas, a reading room, a fitness area, and even a hot tub and sauna for relaxation. Residents can join daily activities, which include music and art, movie nights, devotional services, animal and music therapy, fitness plans, and trips outside, or just relax with a board game or two, all planned to keep the mind and body moving. Onsite home-cooked meals get prepared with care, and folks can request kosher, vegetarian, or diabetes-friendly choices, and snacks are always available. There's a nurse on staff, a doctor on call, a barber or beauty shop, pharmacy services, laundry help, and even a visiting hairdresser for extra convenience.
Izquierdo Home Care I does what it can to make life pleasant and safe, with secured entry, emergency systems in rooms, and special care for diabetic and non-ambulatory residents, including help with insulin and mechanical lifts when necessary, and staff trained to support seniors with changing health needs. Parking is available, and transportation services cover doctor's visits and errands, with some options free and others at a cost, and the place is close to public transit for convenience. Families can use a consulting service to find the care that fits, and staff will make an individual plan to support each resident's needs, whether someone needs a hand with meals or bathing, or more hands-on help with memory or behavior issues. The building's been around for years before its dissolution in 2019 and does its best to stay a warm, supportive home for Miami seniors.
