The Palms of Punta Gorda Assisted Living offers several care options, including assisted living, memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, adult day care, nursing and rehab, independent living, home health care, and continuing care, so people can stay in the same place if they need more help later. The place has private rooms, some with kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, and offers both studio apartments and furnished rooms. Residents get personal care, help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers-even using special lifts if needed-plus routine health checks, laundry, housekeeping, and dry cleaning, so families don't have to worry about daily chores.
There's 24-hour staff on site, including nurses, aides, therapists, visiting specialists, and a nurse practitioner as medical director, and teams receive steady training for different needs. Rooms and common areas are wheelchair-accessible, with safety features like emergency alerts and a 24-hour call system. Meals are prepared by a professional chef, including special diets for diabetes, allergies, and other needs. Residents get three meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room, with guest meals and private spaces for family visits.
Community spaces include a beauty salon and barber, movie theater, library, spa, activity and arts rooms, fitness center and wellness room, gardens, walking paths, and a game room. Daily activities fill the calendar, like movie nights, music, arts, stretching or yoga, intergenerational events, and brain fitness. Outings to shopping, doctor visits, and events are scheduled, along with transportation and parking options. Pet-friendly policies and pet-focused programs bring extra comfort for some, and respite care is available for family caregivers who need a break.
The secured memory care unit sits in a separate, purpose-built building designed for safety, including technology like bracelet alarms to prevent wandering. Staff know how to support seniors who might be forgetful, wander, or show different behaviors due to memory issues. Care includes help with all types of daily tasks, managing medicine, incontinence care, diabetic care like insulin shots and blood sugar checks, and behavioral support as needed.
Residents can go to devotional services, community trips, and lifelong learning opportunities, or just spend time in the courtyard or garden. The community promotes independence and tries to keep people as active as possible, supporting both social life and well-being. There's a focus on maintaining dignity, keeping things comfortable, and listening to resident concerns so everyone's needs are met on time. The Palms of Punta Gorda Assisted Living holds a Florida license (#8469), has an all-inclusive rent option, and maintains a welcoming atmosphere for people no longer able to live alone, offering a range of amenities and care to help them keep quality of life as they age. The community sits near hospitals and doctors, and has served as a fixture in Punta Gorda for some time.
