Ellison Adult Family Care Home is a residential care home at 2851 SW 142nd Ln in Ocala, Florida. The home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with a microcommunity style, meaning it serves a small group of residents-about eight-so caregivers can get to know everyone well and respond to individual needs. The atmosphere is homelike, and you'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas, as well as private rooms that have their own bathrooms, some with master suites and wheelchair accessible showers or tubs. There's Wi-Fi, pet-friendly spaces, and room service if needed.
Residents at Ellison Adult Family Care Home get three meals daily, including kosher and vegetarian options, and there's organized dining as well as room service for those who wish to eat in their rooms. Staff help with daily personal care like bathing, dressing, and medication management; on-site nurses and 24-hour awake staff are there to provide help at all hours. The home offers personalized care for memory support, covering Alzheimer's and dementia, with features that add safety and support for wandering and confusion. Safety systems are in place to help keep residents from falling, and caregivers use things like mechanical lifts for transfers and reminders for incontinence care.

Staff arrange transportation, which can be either complimentary or at cost, and there's on-site parking for residents who drive.
The home provides a range of services that include assisted living, independent living, nursing care, memory care, and respite care for short-term stays. Therapists-physical, occupational, and speech-come to the home for visits if residents need extra support. Ellison Adult Family Care Home gives adults the chance to age in place by offering different levels of care, so as residents need more help, they can stay in the same setting.
Laundry, housekeeping, and support with medications are all included in a single, all-inclusive monthly price. Residents can take part in devotional activities both in-house and offsite, and both staff and visiting nurses work under licensed guidelines. The small community size means stronger relationships can grow between caregivers and residents, and services remain tailored to each person's unique needs. There's an emphasis on protecting residents' privacy while making sure help's available whenever it's needed. The facility operates Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Sundays from noon to 4:00 pm.
