Gulf Haven Assisted Living Facility sits on Rowan Road in New Port Richey, Florida and has room for up to 14 residents, so folks get to know each other pretty well in this medium-sized, home-like setting that tries to make each day pleasant and safe. The place is licensed by the Florida Department of Social Services, license number 9968, and it's watched over by the AHCA, so you'll see reports and guides about the facility, along with all the legal actions and checks as required. Staff stay awake and on duty all day and night, ready to help residents with things like bathing, dressing, hygiene, medication including insulin help where needed, transfers that might need two people, and other daily needs, and there's also respite care and home health care if someone only needs a little while or wants to age in place as their needs change. Gulf Haven can support both assisted living and memory care needs, so people with Alzheimer's or dementia have extra safety features, a secure place designed to keep folks from wandering, and programs set up just for memory care.
You'll see a good amount of amenities for a place this size-a book room, movie nights with entertainment, scheduled daily programs like fitness, music, art, a jacuzzi and sauna, a garden with walking paths, a barber and salon for hair or beard trims, a community arts room, spaces for board games or pet therapy, and evening events that help everyone feel included. There's help to coordinate transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, and trips to faith-based places, plus parking for those who still drive. Folks eat daily homemade meals in a dining room, and staff can adjust the menu for health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure-meals get prepared with care for different diets, and meal service is included. Housekeeping and laundry or dry cleaning is part of the package too. Rooms come furnished and have things like telephones, emergency alert systems, and 24-hour call systems. The place is wheelchair accessible and built to reduce confusion, especially for those with memory concerns. Social spaces let residents make friends, and there's time set aside for activities like music therapy, art, games, outside relaxation, and planned programs that keep people active.
Gulf Haven operates as a Board and Care Home as well, providing a personal, home-style choice besides the usual apartment-style senior communities, so those who like a quieter, more private space do find it fits them. The staff work to respect each resident's independence, choice, and routines while still being there when folks need help and making sure there's medical coordination and incontinence care if needed. Pets are welcome, so residents who have a companion animal find they don't have to give that up. Caregivers keep track of every person's care and help with daily tasks, provide move-in coordination, and keep seniors' health needs met, including medication management and keeping safety a top concern-there's even an emergency power plan to ensure comfort during storms or outages. Legal info about cases, violations, or fines is made available for families who want to see the details. With its focus on both comfort and practical help, Gulf Haven Assisted Living Facility gives seniors a place where quality of life matters, and where activities, care, meals, and amenities come together in a small, steady community.
