Chateau Madeleine sits in Melbourne, Florida, especially in the Suntree neighborhood, right in the heart of Brevard Medical City, and offers a mix of supported independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so they do a little bit of everything for folks who need either a light touch or more support, and it's built as a mid-rise with 115 beds in spacious 1 and 2 bedroom rental apartments with no expensive buy-in fee. The apartments come with private bathrooms, walk-in showers with built-in seats, kitchenettes with stainless-steel refrigerators, walk-in closets, climate control, cable TV, internet, phone with a 24/7 concierge button, and all utilities included-which really helps keep things simple and comfortable for residents, and there's even an emergency pendant system for peace of mind.
The staff get special training for memory care and go through certified programs to help folks with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, with services focused on supporting their abilities, reducing confusion, and preventing wandering, while 24/7 nursing care supports residents' daily health needs including diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory support, and personal laundry plus weekly housekeeping help keep everyone's spaces neat. Meals come from chef-prepared menus and are served three times a day in dining rooms like Chef's Pick Restaurant or the casual Cafe Madeleine, where the kitchen focuses on quality ingredients and balanced nutrition, and outdoor dining options let residents eat in courtyards surrounded by landscaped grounds, herb gardens, and water fountains.
Chateau Madeleine's outdoor space is really something, sitting on six acres with Lake Madeleine at the center, a one-mile lighted walking trail around the lake, a spot for fishing, and plenty of spots to sit outside on patios or in courtyards, and there's a bocce ball court, a putt-putt golf course, a garden, and even an outdoor area for pets, since the community is pet-friendly and lets residents keep animals with them. Inside, rooms get a lot of sun and are designed by a master architect with relaxed resort-style touches, so the place looks and feels welcoming with places like the Residents Lounge, Legends Lounge full liquor bar, Creative Ways Craft Room, Beyond Books Corner library, Forever Young Fitness Center, the Beautify Me Hair Salon, performance and movie theater called Center Stage, and the World Wide Web computer station.
Life at Chateau Madeleine is steady and social, with activities coordinated both onsite and off, including shopping trips, cultural outings, religious services, classes, recreational clubs, and special events, all backed up by scheduled transportation for things like shopping, medical appointments, or trips out in the community, which helps keep everyone as active as they want to be. The facility also has all the basics covered, providing weekly housekeeping, linens, a robust activity calendar, and help with medicine or daily tasks as part of their assisted living support, while those in memory care or supported independent living each get a care plan to fit their abilities.
The entire facility is all about easy living-rental only, so no big buy-in fee, high-quality amenities, safety features in place, and with five-star hospitality. It's rated 4.8 from 20 reviews and runs under AHCA license #13351, along with a specialty for Limited Nursing Services, though Medicaid isn't accepted there. The community really emphasizes safety, comfort, nutritious dining, social engagement, and respect for every resident's independence and privacy, all in a resort-style Floridian environment with familiar faces and joyful staff that help everyone feel right at home.
