The Contemporary Miami

The Contemporary Miami is a smaller luxury community focused on independent living for people aged 62 and up and has 85 private apartments, so it feels close-knit and welcoming, kind of like a big family, and you'll see a lot of the same faces around. The community has a modern design and offers lots of places for residents to be active, like a landscaped courtyard for walking, an outdoor path, and a rooftop heated pool with a sundeck, along with a fully equipped gym and wellness center where staff can help with different activities, and there's even an arts and crafts room and a billiards and game area. There's a big main dining room where a chef manages daily meals, plus a bistro, a private dining room for special occasions, and a piano cocktail lounge, so residents have choices for meals and socializing, and the kitchen staff provides international and vegetarian dishes all day, including no-sugar options, with guest meals, too.

Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom options, like SOL - PLAN A which is 596 square feet with one bathroom, and SOL - PLAN A2 studio with 543 square feet, a fully equipped kitchen, an island, washer and dryer, spa bath, and an open space layout, while select units have ground floors, balconies, patios, and private decks, so residents can choose what fits best for them, and all apartments include cable or satellite TV and strong Wi-Fi throughout. The whole place is wheelchair accessible with accessible showers and full accessibility features in all rooms and common areas. There's weekly maid and linen service and a personal concierge ready to greet guests or help schedule rides, events, and appointments, and there's also an on-call limo for appointments or shopping.

The facility includes a beauty salon, a library for quiet time and cultural events, a big screen theater, and relaxing rooftop and lounge areas so people can find a spot to enjoy as they wish. Staff handle all activities, services, and maintenance, and monthly rent covers everything, with no big buy-in or long-term contract, so it's easier for people who don't want a permanent commitment. Residents get attentive, supportive care in a comfortable and safe setting, and both in-home care and easy access to doctors and specialists are available on-site or at MedSquare Place next door, which has medical offices and a network of professionals through Optum specializing in seniors' health needs.

The Contemporary Miami lets people choose from many living options, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, and respite care all in one place, so if health changes, residents can find the right help without moving away. There's specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with secure housing and therapies if needed, and trained aides are available for companionship or other non-medical help for those living at home. The staff is approachable and responsible, and residents get services suited to their needs in a relaxing, spotless setting that helps everyone feel at home and stay active, whether it's through physical activity, socializing, or simply enjoying a meal or the sunshine on the rooftop.
