Water's Edge Americare, also called Americare Assisted Living Facility - Waters Edge, sits at 2992 Day Rd in Deltona, Florida, right by a lake with walking paths and views that some folks find peaceful, and it's part of the American Caregiver Relief Network. The staff there helps with every level of care-independent living, assisted living, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and nursing home services, including private and semi-private rooms, and they also run adult family home care and offer respite care when needed, so people can try the place out or stay for a short time. Staff are around 24 hours a day and come from different backgrounds like nursing, caregiving, and therapy, and there's an in-house doctor, registered nurse, podiatrist, and a clinical pharmacist who can give free advice and deliver medications, with management always on site as well. The team helps with things like dressing, grooming, bathing, moving from bed to wheelchair, and keeping up with medication, including help for people with diabetes, and they'll even residents to outside doctor appointments.
Residents get all meals and snacks, with restaurant-style dining and common rooms where people gather indoors for activities, devotional services, and games, and there's planned events too, like weekly entertainment or arts and crafts, plus health and wellness programs, education, and outings. Apartments come as studios or two-bedrooms, or you can get a suite with a kitchenette and private bath, and most units have washers, dryers, housekeeping, maintenance, linen service, cable TV, WiFi, and safety features with handicap access and sprinkler systems. There's also a beauty salon, library, fitness center, and activity rooms on the property, and staff keep the place up with housekeeping every week and handle laundry, so residents don't need to worry about these chores. For medical support, nurses provide wound care, medication reminders, support with occupational therapy, and coordinated hospice services if it's needed. The activity staff run games, wellness programs, outings, and keep up the community forum for discussion and questions, so people can learn from each other as well.
Water's Edge Americare has a website where people can take a video tour, see more about floor plans, read about the staff-like the administrator Eleanor Gustavsson-and find more details or directions if they're interested. Prices aren't posted, but the starting cost is available if you ask. The facility lets people choose care and housing that fits, and the staff adjusts help as needs change, aiming to make life comfortable and safe for seniors wanting company, support, and as much independence as possible.
