Covenant Living of Florida sits on West Broward Boulevard in Plantation, about half an hour from Miami, tucked close to the golf courses and beaches of Fort Lauderdale, and folks who live here have many ways to stay active and comfortable, whether that's taking a swim in the outdoor pool shaded by palm trees, relaxing in the Jacuzzi, or working out in a state-of-the-art fitness studio. The place provides several apartment options, including studios with plenty of closet space, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, so people can find what suits their needs, and every apartment comes with safety features and things like washers, dryers, and kitchens or kitchenettes for convenience. Folks can use transportation services if they want to visit local spots for shopping, dining, or enjoying Miami's cultural scene, and there's access to walking trails, tennis courts at Plantation Central Park, a Town Center with Wi-Fi for staying connected, a lending library, an off-leash dog park for pets, plus a game room, guest parking, and a beauty salon and gift shop on site.
This is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), which means Covenant Living of Florida lets people start with independent living, and then move through assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or short-term rehab, all under one roof, and residents can get hospice care and in-home services if needed. Medical services are wide, providing access to podiatry, dental, occupational therapy, wound care, and more, while the nursing staff works around the clock with a board-certified medical director and geriatric nurse practitioners. The skilled nursing facility, called Covenant Village Care Center, is also on the 20-acre campus, and they offer short-term rehab to help residents return to their own homes when possible.
Covenant Living of Florida puts a lot of focus on wellness, with programs like LifeConnect and Heart of Welcome, aiming to help each resident get involved in activities, arts and crafts, social events, educational opportunities, therapeutic recreation, and even off-campus trips such as beach days and outdoor barbeques, while also offering religious services including Jewish holidays. Residents with dementia or Alzheimer's can receive individualized memory care, which includes safety features, special activities, and dedicated staff to encourage engagement and comfort. There's a wellness center right on campus, and many services come to the doorstep, including physicians, audiologists, rehab therapists, and dietary consultants, who can help with special diets and nutrition.
Dining choices cover three meals a day with entrée options and table service, plus a bistro and room service, and help is always available for those who need dining or mobility assistance. Personal care can include bathing, dressing, grooming, medication help, and laundry, and 24-hour call-for-aid service means someone is always close by. The community runs on a not-for-profit, faith-based mission, with philanthropy supporting residents who need help, and there's a Director of Philanthropy ensuring the benevolent fund benefits the group as a whole. Entry options are flexible with entrance fee plans that include refundable choices, and the community accepts Medicare and works in-network with many managed care and Medicare Advantage plans.
Covenant Living of Florida has a full-time staffing team, with RNs, LPNs/VNs, and nurses' aides, and it recently got high marks in resident care from Medicare, though there were some previous health inspection concerns noted, including water temperatures and pool gate safety. People say Covenant Living offers a feeling of comfort, safety, and support, with friendly staff whose bios are shared so new residents get to know who's caring for them, and everyone can reach out for a personalized tour, assessment, or waitlist information if needed.
