Patricia Jones AFCH

Patricia Jones AFCH sits in Palm Bay and offers senior living care focused on those who have memory issues like dementia or Alzheimer's, and folks there get help with daily things like dressing, bathing, or getting around, whether they need light, medium, or heavier support, and caregivers give medication, help with diabetes and incontinence, and keep track of folks who might wander using technology like bracelets. The home feels a lot like a regular house since it has private rooms with private bathrooms, places to sit and talk both inside and outside, and the rooms have full tubs and wheelchair showers, plus there's parking for residents. People living in the community can take part in activities both at the home and outside it, and there are devotional services offered on and off site for those who want them, and folks can join in on different programs to keep active and social, or just relax in shared spaces when they want a bit of quiet. The staff can help with transfers whether a person needs one or more caregivers or special equipment, and they look after people who need hospice or respite care, with nurses on staff and on-call doctors, and even take care of residents with more serious behavior issues if needed, so folks don't have to move on as their needs change. Patricia Jones AFCH provides meals, and there are vegetarian and kosher options, and for those who smoke, there's a spot outside. Pets like dogs and cats are allowed, so people don't have to give up their companions, and the building's set up with accessibility in mind, like easy-to-use showers and wide spaces for wheelchairs, and the memory care part is safe and separate, so people with dementia are secure. Transportation is provided for free, and there's a focus on keeping residents comfortable and independent as long as possible, with pricing for the one-bedroom memory care averaging $3,500 a month and semi-private rooms around $2,500, and the community takes in residents both male and female, including folks under 55 if needed.
