About Homestead Retirement Home
Homestead Retirement Home sits at 1117 Massachusetts Ave in Saint Cloud, Florida, in a very old historic building that feels like it's been around a long time, and people tend to notice Friar's Cove as a special feature there, you know, where folks can get closer to nature and maybe just walk and talk or listen to birds for a while. The home serves up meals made with care, even for those who need something special like allergy-friendly or diabetes diets, and you'll find residents eating together in a dining room that keeps everyone close and brings out some good conversation, and there's also all-day and restaurant-style dining options along with a bistro for a snack or coffee when you please. They've got a good size to them, licensed for up to 40 residents with both assisted living and independent living, plus memory care and nursing care, so if you need more help, like with memory problems or getting around, or you're coming for some short respite care, they do that, too, and with 35 licensed beds, there's usually a spot if you need it. Folks help with moving in, offer free consultations, and a knowledgeable Family Advisor walks families through things, which really helps new residents feel less alone, and this team is known for being joyful, helpful, and friendly. It's a social spot, too, with indoor and outdoor common areas, resident events, craft groups, movie nights, activity programs to keep both body and mind busy, and devotional services for those who want them. They put a lot of value in making things comfortable, safe, and sociable, and the staff stay awake all day and all night to make sure everyone's cared for, whether someone needs help bathing, dressing, getting to meals, managing medications, or staying safe with a 24-hour call system and in-room emergency alerts. If you like keeping busy, you'll find a library, greenhouse, arts room, walking paths, garden, and a salon or barber, and if you like talking, the communal spaces make it easy to get to know people and even make friends with staff who tend to stick around and actually know the residents by name. Homestead Retirement Home doesn't list its prices in public, so people have to ask for that, but they do say you have to be a certain age to live there, and they've earned awards, like Best of Senior Living, which people seem to appreciate when looking for a place that's known for reliable care and support. This home offers services for people dealing with incontinence, Parkinson's, diabetes, and non-ambulatory needs, and provides physical rehabilitation right there, and everything is set up to try and help folks stay active, connected, and comfortable while having what they need close by, including community-sponsored programs, pharmacy services, laundry, housekeeping, television, phone, internet, and staff ready to assist with anything from meals to moving to making the days go by with a bit more company and care.
