Carington Manor sits at 3215 East James Lee Blvd in Crestview, Florida, in a single-story building with about 6,300 square feet, where you'll find a comfortable residential care home setting for seniors who want assisted living. There are 14 units, each able to be private or semi-private, so the place holds up to 28 beds total, and they really do try to give each resident their own space, and folks usually get their own apartments but share dining rooms for eating meals together, which always have a family-style feel, and a Registered Dietician approves the meals so they're balanced and healthy, with snacks offered during the day for a homey touch. You'll notice that staff and nurses are around every day of the week and always on call after hours, so help is there for daily needs like bathing, walking, dressing, toileting, or eating, and the team takes care of laundry without extra cost, too.
The staff includes Certified Nursing Assistants, Resident Aides, contract Registered Nurses, and Licensed Practical Nurses, so care is given for many needs, from help with medicines to incontinence or diabetic care, plus there's support for folks who need non-ambulatory care or special diets, and when residents need extra help, staff assist with doctor visits by providing both transportation and someone to stay with them. The building is secured for safety and has a monitored sprinkler system, plus they have services and secure spaces for people living with dementia or memory concerns, so safety stays a priority throughout the building.
The community runs different on-site activities to engage folks in social, mental, physical, and emotional ways, with offsite trips available, and there are religious services along with common rooms for gathering and devotion, so there's something for most interests. When the weekends come, a nurse, cook, Activities Coordinator, and two Resident Aides are present, while during the week a larger team keeps things steady, all working in long shifts for consistent attention. Carington Manor says it's got "a touch of home," which some might say you feel in small day-to-day routines, like meals or people knowing your name, and while amenities and services may not all be listed out, their main focus is plain: offer care for people who want to live mostly on their own but need some help to get through the day safely. They accept private pay, Medicaid, some long-term care insurance, and VA Aid and Attendance or Pension payments, making different funding options available.
