Merino Adult Family Care Home Llc is a small assisted living facility in Windermere, FL, licensed for six beds and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, where seniors live in a private home setting with one-on-one care, and there are both private apartments and communal living areas for daily life. The staff are trained to help with bathing, dressing, walking, medication management, bed transfer, toileting, eating, housekeeping, laundry, and meals, and they also provide healthcare oversight and support for those who need help with daily activities. Merino offers assisted living, board and care, independent living, dementia care, memory care, and respite care when a primary caregiver needs a break, giving families peace of mind knowing loved ones have supervision at all times.
The home feels peaceful and warm, and common areas encourage residents to socialize, join activities, and make friends, since there are regular outings to local attractions, farmers markets, and scenic drives, and there's always something to do, like joining therapeutic gardening programs or enjoying the landscaped gardens. Some days, friendly animals visit to provide emotional support, and residents get help to keep up familiar, homelike routines that keep mind, body, and soul balanced, with a focus on respect for privacy, dignity, and independence based on what each person needs. All residents get meals cooked for them, help with medication, and transportation to shopping or medical appointments as needed, and there are also recreational and religious activities.
Merino follows strict licensing rules for care and safety, with a specific caregiver-to-senior ratio and regular health inspections, and is a Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity provider. The environment supports physical and mental health, aiming to reduce boredom and loneliness and promote independence while offering just enough support so residents stay as active and self-sufficient as possible. The small size means a close-knit, family-type atmosphere, which helps seniors feel comfortable and at home. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Merino Adult Family Care Home Llc provides long-term care and a range of services made for seniors, and the focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive place where people can enjoy their later years with the right kind of help, in a place that feels like home.
