Arlington House Inc, at 203 Moody Rd in Palatka, Florida, offered a senior living community with different levels of care, like assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, and it also operated under the name Arlington House ACLF, Inc. People living there could get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, cooking, laundry, and bathroom needs, and you'd also find support for folks who needed extra care, including those dealing with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or Parkinson's, since there was a secured memory care area and special activities to help prevent wandering, and there were staff available around the clock to help. The staff tried to get to know each resident and gave assistance for eating, transferring, and hygiene, including help for folks who had trouble with incontinence or diabetes, and there were exercise programs, games, creative activities, outings, and scheduled daily events that helped everyone feel part of a group, while devotional activities happened both on and off the property. Residents could use communal spaces like indoor common areas, a reading room, hot tub, steam room, fitness area, game rooms, and could get to a barber or beauty shop, and there were social night events to encourage neighbors to get together. Arlington House Inc arranged transportation for local appointments in Palatka and provided regular, healthy meals.
Besides care, Arlington House Inc specialized in providing floral products and floral arrangements for a range of occasions-so whether someone needed sympathy flowers, funeral wreaths, standing sprays, memorial casket arrangements, or wedding bouquets and corsages, or even basic flower needs like birthday bouquets and anniversary flowers, the staff could create and deliver those, and they also handled patriotic flowers, graduation pieces, prom boutonnieres, hairpieces, and other handheld bouquets. As a not-for-profit corporation with entity number N95000003122, the facility was certified for up to 150 residents, had a history of filings with the Florida Department of Social Services, and at one time had officers like Penny J Powers, Barbara A Hebert, Betty L Allen, and Janice Bohanen, with Penny J Powers also listed as the registered agent. Though the facility is marked as inactive due to missing its annual report, people who knew Arlington House Inc remembered it for personalized care, dedicated staff, and a setting that tried to balance independence and support for older adults in Palatka.
