Access Adult Family Care Home at 2895 38th Ave N in Saint Petersburg, FL, is a residential assisted living facility that served up to six residents in a neighborhood home, and residents got help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, and medication, and staff aimed to keep things comfortable and familiar for their residents, especially those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there was a secured, specialized memory care area designed to prevent wandering and keep everyone safe, and while the community was known for good food, dedicated caregivers, and keeping high standards of cleanliness, it also had private and semi-private rooms, visiting nurses and therapists, and could provide support for folks with complex needs like diabetes, incontinence, or mobility challenges, and the staff handled reminders and monitoring for all the daily routines, helped with laundry and cleaning, and offered activities aimed at promoting emotional well-being and social connection, and for seniors who needed it, the facility could manage the unique behaviors that sometimes came with memory loss, with alarms and secure entrances, and staff awake around the clock.
Although Access Adult Family Care Home offered a home-like setting for seniors, there've been serious problems, as its license expired and criminal charges against the owner, Maria Isabel Matos Infante, included grand theft, fraudulent use of a credit card, identity theft, and running an unlicensed facility, so the state opened investigations, and the police arranged for the six residents living there at the time to be cared for by their families. There haven't been any allegations of physical or mental abuse toward residents. The facility has a 5.0 star rating based on one review and a high average rating on some senior living websites, but it's important to know about the license and legal issues too. The care team here has supported bilingual residents, including Spanish speakers, offered board and care programs and respite for family caregivers, and provided a sense of community in a small group environment, focusing on one-on-one attention. These various care services, like ambulatory care, memory care, diabetic care, visiting medical support, transportation, and technology to help prevent wandering, make life safer and easier for folks who need more help as they age, but the unresolved legal and licensing matters have put the facility's trustworthiness into question and would be something families have to consider.
