Twin Cities Pavilion, found in Niceville, Florida, is a senior living community that's been around since 1981, and it's got a licensed capacity for up to 50 residents under State of Florida License #AL5462, offering assisted living, skilled nursing home services, rehab therapy, and special care for memory loss and dementia, so folks can get a range of care based on their own needs as they age. The residents stay in private apartments where they can fix up their own rooms any way they like, and they've got access to a shared dining room, a community kitchen, water and electricity already included, and plenty of comfy spaces furnished with TVs, plus options for getting cable, phone, or internet if they want it at their own cost.
There's always staff nearby day and night, and they'll help with things like bathing, dressing, laundry, shampooing, or medication management-though staff supervise and record medications but don't actually give them-and meal services are put together with a registered dietitian watching over the nutrition, keeping an eye on salt, sugar, and fat for health reasons, which really makes a difference for folks who want to keep feeling good. The place has a calm, private setting with walking paths, a library, and a community garden, and you'll see residents enjoying a barber and salon, sitting down for daily activities, religious services, and catching a ride for shopping or doctor visits when needed, with medical escorts for extra support paid separately.
For fun and staying social, there are choices like BINGO, crafts, board games, movies, and local community outings, even events put on by outside groups, and a lot of activities are run by residents themselves, so nobody has to feel alone or bored, and friendships tend to form pretty easily with all that going on. Magnolia Manor Senior Day, which was the first adult day care in Okaloosa County, is connected to Twin Cities Pavilion, and Magnolia Manor is a local adult day care center as well; plus, if memory care or dementia support is needed, Carington Manor over in Crestview handles that with private or shared rooms in a secure area.
Assisted living here is set up to help folks keep their independence with just the right amount of support, including housekeeping based on each person's ability to manage their own space, and there's a strong focus on keeping people safe and healthy-so there's a good infection control plan, visitor health checks, and family can always visit, especially for end-of-life, emotional times, or big decisions, with at least two hours every day guaranteed for their main support person. There's hospice care toward the end of life, respite care, some allowance for pets, and low or no-sodium food choices, and the Pavilion works closely with programs like the Community Care for the Elderly Program, Meals on Wheels, and other groups to make sure seniors have support whether they're living here, staying with family, or getting care in their own house. The staff, led by Ms. Patti Tusai-Snow as Facility Director and Mrs. Kimberly Fraley as Administrator, pride themselves on being friendly, attentive, and dedicated to making sure everyone feels at home, and with daily activities, comfortable amenities, and a focus on dignity, Twin Cities Pavilion tries to give every resident a safe and caring place to call home for as long as they need.
