Ponce Adult Family Care sits in a quiet area of Orlando, FL, with a private home setting that feels calm and safe, and you'll see it's a place where folks try to make everyone feel like they belong. The home is small, with space for up to five adults, and there are six bedrooms and three full baths, so you won't feel crowded. Residents and caregivers share indoor common areas to sit and talk, along with landscaped grounds outside where you can walk or relax in the fresh air, and you'll find a swimming pool and hot tub for anyone who enjoys a swim. The family room's a bit small for long walks, but plenty of folks spend time chatting there or joining activities.
Meals are cooked from scratch and served in a cozy dining room, and there's care for special diets, like kosher, vegetarian, or even stricter needs if a doctor asks for it. The rooms have air conditioning, vaulted ceilings, and modern touches, which means it stays comfortable in the Florida heat. You'll find that staff and caregivers stay on call day and night, with a doctor and nurse always available if anything comes up, and visits from dentists, podiatrists, and therapy professionals every week, so health needs stay front and center.
If you have memory care needs, there's a secure part of the home with safety systems so folks don't wander, including alarms and bracelets, and staff trained to help people with dementia or Alzheimer's manage their daily routines. The staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, and all the chores that can get tricky with age, but they also encourage residents to do things on their own whenever they can. There are several levels of care, so if someone needs more help as time goes on, they don't have to move.
You see people getting together for social or educational activities both in the house and outside, and you might see trips or games that help everybody stay sharp in their mind and body. Pets are allowed, as long as everyone's safe and comfortable. The home doesn't allow smoking inside private or public areas. Folks needing hospice or respite care, or even just a break for caregivers through the adult day care, can find their needs met here. Some bedrooms or units are set up for men, others for women. The home's licensed by the state and has more than 20 years of experience caring for older adults, always aiming to show genuine kindness and attention in a place that's more homelike than anything that feels stiff or clinical.
