Royal Care of Avon Park is a nursing home that gives its residents private rooms, each with a private bathroom, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi, so people can feel a bit more at home, and you'll see there's always help when it's needed, with staff and skilled nurses around for 12 to 16 hours each day and on call all day and night. The staff helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and making sure medicines are taken properly, and if someone cannot walk on their own, help is offered for that as well, so nobody feels stranded or alone even if they need extra support. Specialized care is available for folks who've had heart problems, COPD, diabetes, pulmonary or orthopedic surgeries, or a stroke, and the facility has a Certified Wound and Ostomy Nurse for needs like wound care, wound vac, and IV antibiotics.
Royal Care of Avon Park has skilled rehabilitation and therapy services in its own rehab area for those recovering after a hospital stay or who need daily therapy, and community spaces include a fitness room, walking paths, patio, spa, and gardens, where people are welcome to join movie nights in the on-site theater or try daily scheduled activities, games, arts, or just enjoy the library, with housekeeping and laundry included too. Meals are cooked by a professional chef, and there's a meal program that makes sure every resident gets the food they need, and if anyone has to move in, staff tries to coordinate everything and make the transition a bit easier.
There's a board of directors that meets often to keep the care at a good standard, and they focus on making improvements for staff and residents alike, which you won't see everywhere. Family members can expect transportation services, emergency alert systems, and plenty of community-sponsored events, plus support services for families who want to stay involved. People at Royal Care seem to value their personal freedom and independence, and the place aims to offer safety for those who need different amounts of medical care, accepting both Medicare and Medicaid insurance.
The facility sits within a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so housing and care needs can change over time without needing to move away, and when residents want to get outside, large grounds and gardens are open for them, with outdoor patios for fresh air. Staff keeps things running from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and you can find more details on the Royal Care of Avon Park website or its Facebook page, since they post updates online and enjoy keeping families in the loop about what's happening each week.
