Pelican Garden sits in a warm Florida-style building with over 20,000 square feet of senior housing, surrounded by a peaceful walkway, lush landscaping with vibrant hibiscus, and a tropical courtyard garden full of Florida birds and flowers, and it really offers the kind of quiet, easy living that some folks are looking for when they need a little help with their days, though it's got a secure front entrance with white columns that feels inviting in its own way. The place has different kinds of care-assisted living, home health, nursing, rehabilitation, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, adult day care, and even hospice and respite care services if someone only needs short-term help or extra comfort. Meals come through several ways, including restaurant style dining, room service, and a variety of diet options to fit nearly any need, and those big, bright dining spaces with round tables and natural light help bring people together for food and conversation, with weekly menus and even kosher, vegan, vegetarian, low sugar, low salt, and gluten-free choices.
Private and companion rooms can be furnished or unfurnished, most have private bathrooms with extra-large baths and big closets, cable television, and WiFi included, while floor plans cover both private and semi-private layouts, each offering either a sitting area or shared living spaces, and everything has an emergency call system in case someone needs help quickly. The property has a card and game room, a cozy library nook with sunlight, a residents lounge, and internet throughout, plus regular housekeeping, laundry, and complete linen service are part of the monthly rate, which some folks find comforting since there's no nickel-and-diming for the basics.
Outdoors, people can take morning walks to the fountain, stop and listen to the water or watch for birds, tend the red flowers in the garden, or stroll on landscaped walkways when the weather feels good, and if someone wants to get out, there's a specially equipped bus for outings and trips that gets used for planned activities and devotional services. Inside, activities run daily and cover gardening, trivia, karaoke, stretching classes, pet programs, and more, all designed to keep folks involved, entertained, and connected-something that becomes more important with age.
Staff are around all hours of the day and night, with experience in both supervisory care and more hands-on help like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, medication management, diabetic care, incontinence support, and all those basic needs that can get harder with age; they've even got medication technicians, a medical director who's a nurse practitioner, visiting healthcare professionals like nurses and therapists, and an interdisciplinary team for hospice care, which can help manage pain and honor residents' wishes with dignity. The building has controlled access for safety, transportation options including parking for residents, and monitoring and reminders for people with memory concerns.
Pelican Garden provides different levels of care-light for folks who just need a watchful eye, medium for those needing a bit more hands-on help, and support for those at risk of wandering or acting out, and residents can stay as their care needs grow. The community makes room for independence as much as possible, but doesn't shrug off the small details, handling laundry, meals, activities, and regular wellness checks, so people can truly focus on enjoying their time-with supportive staff, friendly faces, a relaxed garden setting, and comfortable, practical rooms to return to each evening.
