Alder Terrace Adult Care Center cares for people aged 55 and up who need help with daily tasks or memory care, and the place is licensed by the state of Florida with the license number 8481. The center sits in a single-story building and can serve up to about 28 to 32 residents in rooms that are private, semi-private, or double, so some folks share and some have more space to themselves, and people can personalize and decorate their rooms with their own things. Staff help with bathing, dressing, getting around, eating, and medication management, and nurses are on staff part-time for extra medical needs. People with early-stage dementia or Alzheimer's live here too, and staff have training to support those with memory loss or other health issues, as well as residents who're not able to move easily. The place has an emergency power plan, and staff are on duty at all hours, with safety systems in the rooms and throughout the building, and any resident information gets shared according to regulations.
Meals come three times a day, cooked on-site and you can smell them down the hall, and they serve snacks and holiday meals too, with options for diabetes or food allergies; there's all-day dining in a shared dining room. Residents get help with laundry, housekeeping, and even moving in, so families don't need to worry about those chores, and staff keep the place clean and comfortable. For recreation, there's a garden, outdoor walkways, an arts room, a barber and salon, a lounge, and a movie night area, and the activity program runs games, hobbies, fitness sessions, and social events, often earning awards for keeping people active and engaged. They do chair yoga and exercises at the Wellness & Mobility Center that help seniors keep their balance and strength, and outings get planned so residents can see places or go shopping with staff help. Some staff speak Spanish, which helps residents feel at home if English isn't their first language. There are religious services for anyone who wants to go, right in the building or nearby.
People in different stages of needing support live here, from those who want to be as independent as possible to those who need more help, and that goes for people needing short-term stays or respite care, as well as folks using home care services while living here. The management and specialized caregivers pay attention to each resident's needs and update care plans to fit them, and there's coordination with outside doctors or health providers. Residents can use transportation services, and the community provides parking, so getting to medical appointments or group outings isn't a problem. Insurance is accepted for services, and the building meets licensing and compliance rules, with its state oversight in the facility and provider profiles, as well as a summary of any legal actions or violations listed clearly. Alder Terrace Adult Care Center says they want residents to feel like they're part of a family, and people often mention the friendly staff and welcoming smells of home cooking, and with all the activity programs, there's always something social, educational, or fun for residents to join, which helps foster a supportive community.
