Miramar Home Care

Miramar Home Care sits in a quiet house with room for just six residents, run by Ruben and Laura Dorca, who live on-site and have been caring for seniors for 24 years between them, and you can tell they make sure everyone feels like family, with higher staff-to-resident numbers than you'll often find in traditional nursing homes, which means help comes quickly for things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, walking around, and eating. Caregivers prepare meals, including special diets like vegetarian or kosher, and help with laundry and housekeeping, so the place stays tidy, and everyone gets the food they need-plus there are house pets wandering about, which residents can pet or watch for company if they want. There's a full schedule of activities like games, music, and crafts to help folks feel engaged, plus some educational and spiritual activities, though the devotional services are offsite, and there's Wi-Fi and common indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing or talking with others. Residents get transportation if they need to go out, although that costs extra, and there's parking if someone drives or families visit. Care can be as light as occasional help all the way to constant care, including memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and hospice services for those nearing end of life, and the Dorca family works closely with nurses, therapists, and doctors who visit as needed. Companionship and homemaking services mean someone's always around, and the caregivers get to know residents' habits so they can follow a care plan based on what each person needs, all while trying to help folks be as independent as possible and make their own choices every day, so families hear regular updates about how their loved ones are doing, and everyone tries to make the place feel safe and friendly, like a real home. The showers are wheelchair accessible, and beautician services are available right there in the house, so nobody needs to go far for a haircut or a trim. Miramar Home Care has its state license as a Type B Assisted Living Facility, and it covers the whole range from letting independent folks go their own way with a little help, to giving one-on-one support for those who need it, and you can come take a tour to see the meals, meet the staff, and see daily life, which helps families decide if this small, home-style place matches what they're looking for.
