My New Home ALF sits in Miami, Florida, and offers care to a small group of up to 6 residents, so it feels close and personal, with single bedroom and studio options that come furnished, clean, and well-equipped with safety features like emergency alert systems and large TV screens, and the trained staff stays awake around the clock to help with almost anything, whether it's bathing, dressing, moving about-even with transfers that need a mechanical lift-or dealing with medication, diabetes, Parkinson's, and even complex memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia, because the facility provides both assisted living and specialized memory care, working with tailored plans for each resident and extra safety measures that aim to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Families can set up flexible visiting hours, and those caring for loved ones can get some rest through respite stays, whether it's for a night or a bit longer, since this board and care home is licensed in Miami-Dade County and meets state requirements under license number 13752.
Residents can get meals made with healthy ingredients, with menus adjusted for special diets like allergies or diabetes, and enjoy them in a large community dining area where they're joined by friends and neighbors, or they might spend time in the fitness or wellness rooms, walk along garden paths, find a quiet corner in the library, use the computers, or join group activities that fill most days-everything from arts and crafts, birthday parties, and movie nights to educational classes and therapy, including physical rehabilitation for those recovering strength or mobility. Staff also support residents who have higher care needs, such as help with incontinence, mobility, managing medications-including insulin injections-and folks who might be prone to wander or have behavior challenges, and visiting nurses and podiatrists come by, too, with outside appointments and transportation arranged as needed. The calendar's always busy, activities encourage socializing and making friends, and the staff, known for being friendly and kind, bring joy and calm, which has led to positive reviews and a few awards for care and community spirit.
My New Home ALF focuses on making daily life easier and safer, with housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, mail, and phone access, and residents can always ask for help moving around, attending appointments, or enjoying community events. The setting's cozy, personal, and secure, aiming for a tranquil place where people can enjoy each day while staying close to Miami's parks, shops, restaurants, banks, and hospitals. The mix of care options-like assisted living, adult day care, memory care, and board and care home services-means residents can stay even as their needs change, with care levels adjusted from light support to full help as required, and plenty of structured activities to keep the mind, body, and social life active.
