Gardens Retreat, established in 2003 and licensed by Florida's Department of Social Services with certification number 11039, sits at 4405 Southwest 72nd Avenue in Palm City, Florida, and offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, respite, adult daycare, hospice care, and home care services, keeping a small, home-like community that serves up to six residents at a time, and folks here find beautiful surroundings with gardens and places to relax outside, and while it's a small place, you'll see safety measures like secured memory care areas for those who have Alzheimer's or other memory challenges, and there's help with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, medication management, and even transferring into and out of the shower, while care staff are awake all day and night, with some able to handle insulin shots and support two-person transfers if needed.
Residents get three homemade meals daily, and there are options for special diets, like for those living with high blood pressure or diabetes, plus a variety of daily routines such as exercise, creative activities, music and animal therapy, board games, movie nights, book room time, sauna, jacuzzi, planned social evenings, garden walks, and there's a barber or mobile stylist service right on site, and scheduled transportation gets residents to doctor's visits, errands, or religious services, so folks can stay connected, while a detailed care schedule includes meal plans, prescription checks, programs, and regular health oversight.
For those needing therapy, Gardens Retreat provides speech, physical, and occupational therapy, and for anyone who can't stay long, respite care and short-term stays are possible, while hospice services help those needing comfort near the end of life, and caregivers always aim to make things feel friendly, safe, and personalized, sticking to a resident-first standard, and active seniors can remain independent with a bit of help, while those needing more, like catheter care or colostomy services, can get extra attention.
Payment options include private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid and Attendance, and assisted living prices start around $3,000 a month, so between the gardens, social circles, fitness, and therapies, some folks might find Gardens Retreat offers many of the things seniors look for if they want a smaller setting with close care-you can learn more at their website, www.gardensretreat-asstdliving.com.
