Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II

Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II sits about 6.8 miles outside Starke, Florida, and has cared for seniors since 2018 as a small, family-owned, state-licensed assisted living facility set on a one-acre property. The home supports up to 24 residents in furnished studio rooms, all with ceiling fans and grab bars, and offers both long-term and short-term care plans, including respite stays for those recovering and folks who just need a short break. The staff can help with medication, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, using the bathroom, walking, and transferring from beds or chairs, and they're trained and available around the clock. A board-certified mental health registered nurse owns the facility, and there's a limited mental health license so residents can get help with some mental health needs if that's something they're looking for. English-speaking caregivers provide help with activities of daily living and manage medication while making sure residents get family-style meals every day, with allergy-friendly and diabetic options, plus snacks made by the kitchen staff in a dining room set up for comfort. Daily activities-both in the home and outside-let everyone stay active and social, from community-sponsored trips to resident-run clubs, arts and crafts, movie nights, and educational programs. There's even move-in coordination help. The community has a barber and salon, a library, a garden, a community room, cable TV in the common areas, and roomy bedrooms. Bathrooms come with safety grab bars. Laundry and housekeeping are handled by staff, so things stay clean and comfortable. They even provide rides and escorts to medical appointments, and there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies. They're open Monday to Friday, from 9 to 5, and close on weekends. Trained caregivers aim to make everyone feel at home and respected, with care that fits each person's needs, but anyone wanting to use Medicare for nursing care won't be able to since the facility isn't certified for it, which is something to keep in mind. Designed for people who value their independence but could use a bit of help, Young Hearts Extended Assisted Living Facility II offers a stable place for seniors and their families to consider.
