Florida sits at 125 Garfield Street in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, where folks will find a small, homelike community with six senior apartments meant for assisted living, senior living, and memory care, with each apartment offering plenty of space, safety features like grab bars and keypad entry, and generous closet areas so residents can keep what matters to them close. The place offers studio units and one-bedroom suites that come furnished and include utilities and cable, which sure makes things easier, and there's daily help with personal care tasks like bathing, dressing, getting around, and managing medicines, all provided by caring staff and on-call registered nurses with monthly check-ups from both nurses and doctors to keep on top of health needs.
Residents can join creative games and arts, daily fitness activities, movie nights in the theatre room, family gatherings, and enjoy group meals in a community dining hall that serves three a-la-carte meals every day, with other snacks for folks who want them, plus all-day and allergy-sensitive dining and special diets like diabetic options, so everyone's included, and friends and family often visit using the on-site parking, joining in planned events or relaxing in the gardens, patios, and on the decks and porches. There's a library and computer center, community kitchen, laundry, housekeeping, and a beauty shop, while emergency pendants, apartment security, and regular preventive screenings add a further layer of peace of mind.
People who live here can bring their pets, use emergency alert systems if they need help, and make use of transportation for appointments, shopping, or outings, and if someone needs help moving or transferring, such as from a bed to a chair, or even rehabilitation services, staff are trained to do that too, along with support for more specific care needs like Parkinson's or continence management. There's always something going on, from daily community activities and movie nights to wellness programs, exercise classes, social events, and even massage therapy if you want it, and scheduled meals and snacks mean nobody worries about missing out.
The community employs CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, and RNs and supports several languages, making sure everyone feels welcome, and because it keeps things smaller and more personal, families get peace of mind knowing supervision and care fit their loved ones' unique needs, and costs start at about $3,978 per month, which is less expensive than most nursing homes. Florida doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, and serves as a Community Based Residential Facility aiming to make aging a bit easier for both residents needing extra help and the families who love them, offering short-term respite stays too when caregivers need a break. This place focuses on respect, comfort, safety, and finding ways for folks to stay as independent as possible for as long as they're able.
