Astoria Gardens ALF is an assisted living facility found at 3300 Southeast 7th Street in Pompano Beach, Florida, and the community accepts both men and women who might need a little help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, cooking, and keeping up with their medicines, and you'll find staff ready at all hours, even at night, to help out if someone needs to get from their bed into a wheelchair, or if they need a little assistance with managing diabetic care, incontinence, or remembering their medication, and you'll see that they cook meals there for everybody-no special diet requirements listed-and residents can eat with each other so no one worries about eating alone all the time. The place has studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom rooms, which means there's a choice depending on what someone's looking for, and for folks who just need a break or time to recover, there's respite care as well as hospice care for those who are nearing the end of life.
You can tell that Astoria Gardens ALF puts thought into making it easier for residents to stay active and social, offering indoor common spaces, planned trips, activities on site, and both on-site and offsite devotional services for anyone looking for spiritual support, plus there's an enclosed courtyard where you can sit outside safely. There are transportation services and parking, and since it's close to cafes, pharmacies, doctors, theaters, and parks, people have options if they want to get out for a while, and pets are welcome to come along too. There's a beauty salon and barber services right there, which is nice for residents who like to look their best or just need a trim now and again. Astoria Gardens ALF has independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, and even adult day care and home care available as part of their Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) services, so residents can stay as their needs change without having to move to a different place.
Doctors and nurses are available, and you'll find dentists and podiatrists too, so most medical needs get handled without leaving the community. Speech, physical, and occupational therapy are offered, and staff help with common care like help in the bathroom, laundry, medication, and non-medical companionship and support. Astoria Gardens ALF can support diabetic care with insulin injections and sliding scale therapy, and for incontinent residents, as long as they can manage with some standby help, they'll help with that too, and for people who need memory care, the space is set up so folks won't get lost or wander off. Community staff run activities to keep people connected and moving, and devotional and spiritual services are part of life for those who want them.
Residents pay using private pay, social security, commercial insurance, or veterans' benefits, and there are fees for things like community membership, respite care, or extra care depending on individual needs. Smoking is allowed outside. The community has been recognized over the years for good service with Best of Senior Living awards. The staff aims to help folks keep their independence and dignity as much as possible, providing the right balance between care and freedom as needs change with time.
