La Paloma Assisted Living

La Paloma Assisted Living sits at 880 East Baffin in Venice, Florida and welcomes only six residents at a time in a small, close-knit setting where neighbors and staff know one another, the kind of place where homemade meals, even with vegetarian options, bring people together, and pets-both cats and dogs-get to stay with their owners, which means a lot for those who want familiar company. The staff gives each person care that matches their needs, with personalized support for daily activities, medication management, incontinence care, and specialized health help like ambulatory, high acuity, and non-ambulatory assistance, and they're also experienced with memory care for those who need that kind of help. The community is a Board and Care Home with assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, respite, and hospice care all available, and the facility promises a secure, comfortable place to live, focusing on senior independence while watching out for everyone's safety and well-being every day. Residents enjoy indoor and outdoor spaces, a heated pool, room for wheelchairs, and showers that make bathing easier, along with activities both on-site and through outings in Venice, where shops, parks, pharmacies, doctors, churches, restaurants, and theaters are all close by, making errands and social life simple to enjoy. Families say the staff treats everyone like family, showing kindness and support, and the monthly cost covers rooms, meals, activities, and access to therapies ranging from speech to occupational and physical needs, with nurses and dentists always nearby or on call when needed. La Paloma strives for a warm, home-style feel, with the same staff caring for residents day in and day out, and offers care plans tailored to each person so no one feels left out, always focusing on comfort, dignity, and keeping people as active and involved as they'd like. The facility follows a strict no smoking policy indoors, offers free transportation and parking, and maintains a 3.0-star "Very Good" user rating, reflecting a balance of strengths and areas for growth, all in a micro community that gives seniors a chance at both privacy and companionship as they age.
