Lighthouse Inn North sits at 3208 NE 11th St in Pompano Beach, Florida, right on nine acres of oceanfront land, so folks living there can enjoy a private sandy beach, heated pool, and waterfront dining with panoramic ocean views from the full-service restaurant, and if you wander outside, there are tennis courts and a patio next to the north swimming pool, making it feel more like a small seaside village than just a regular home, and they do have wedding services overlooking the water for families who want to celebrate special days together. The place is large, with two main buildings-one's an L-shaped main building with nine bedrooms, another with six rooms, and a third with eight rooms-so residents can pick from assisted living studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or even semi-private options, and all the rooms have wheelchair accessible showers, too. John Schrills leads the community as the Executive Director, and they do keep staff on-site 24 hours a day, with someone awake at night, so there's always help if someone needs it.
Lighthouse Inn has served seniors since opening in 2015 and carries an A+ rating from the BBB, giving folks some extra peace of mind if they worry about reliability or care. They ask that residents be at least 55 years old, and they have all the regular services of a retirement home, including independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need help around the house, and memory care for people dealing with Alzheimer's or similar challenges. You'll also find nursing home and respite care if someone needs a short stay, as well as hospice services, with care levels from low to high, and different fees depending on how much support someone needs, plus a second person fee if a couple wants to move in together. The staff can help residents with things like bathing, transferring from bed to wheelchair with one helper, incontinence care, diabetic care with blood sugar checks and insulin shots, and medicine reminders. They also offer home care and companionship from trained aides, which can make a real difference when people want to keep some independence but need a bit of help now and then.
Amenities fit a big community and include both indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing or relaxing, rooms for games or gatherings, areas for devotional services, and beautician and barber services right on-site, so people don't have to travel far for a haircut or styling. Meals come included, prepared with good ingredients, and they'll take care of dietary needs, and transportation's available to help get folks to appointments or outings. The community is pet-friendly, letting cats come with residents, and you'll catch people visiting in outdoor areas or even participating in family events, and with on-site activities, entertainment, and occasional family gatherings, it helps bring a little more joy to day-to-day living, even if the activity list isn't pinned down every week. They offer some unique things, like wedding services overlooking the water, regular entertainment, and a heated pool with a hot tub for relaxing. Residents can eat together with waterfront views, spend time outdoors, attend devotional services, and join in for activities meant to keep the mind and body moving, which helps with connection and well-being, and if someone just wants quiet, there's plenty of space for that, too.
They keep their doors open for respite stays if someone needs temp care, and they adjust services for different needs-like more help for memory care, or lighter touch for independent folks-while keeping everyone fed, safe, and comfortable, so people can enjoy both the ocean and the company, whether they're planning to stay for the long haul or just passing through for a short time.
