Lee Residence is a small, licensed care home that's been serving residents since 1985, set in a country-style single-story red brick building in a quiet, wooded neighborhood with a green lawn and palm trees, and it only takes in adults 50 or older, allowing up to six people at a time. The founders, Forrest and Kathy Lee, make sure everyone gets the care they need, especially for medical and physical needs, and staff are available around the clock for help with bathing, dressing, walking, toileting, eating, daily showers, grooming, and oral care. The place offers both private apartments and shared dining, so people can keep their independence but get help when they need it, and it allows pets like cats and dogs for companionship. There are daily activities such as music, movies, board games, reading, and religious services, and a variety of books, newspapers, and magazines keep residents busy, plus there's a lounge and both indoor and outdoor common areas, including walking paths and gardens. Three hot meals and a daily tea time are included, with options to change meal plans for medical reasons, and staff help with laundry, housekeeping, and medication.
A licensed hairdresser stops by every week for haircuts and beauty treatments, while nurses, occupational, physical, and speech therapists are on site, with doctors visiting every month and a podiatrist every three months, and a pharmacy delivers prescriptions and supplies daily. They assist residents with memory care, have a separate building for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and use bracelet alarms to keep residents from wandering, offering hospice and respite care as well. Transportation to medical appointments, errands, shopping, or faith services comes with the stay, and Lee Residence can handle medical tasks like insulin injections and lift transfers; emergency call systems and secure entrances keep everyone safe. All rooms are wheelchair accessible and kept in good shape, and staff monitor activities and medication, coordinating with outside healthcare providers as needed. The staff carry a reputation for caring and knowledge and aim to treat everyone with dignity and respect, following Florida's Department of Social Services rules (ID 8536), and families will find the facility fair and inclusive, accepting residents with a wide range of needs and backgrounds. Lee Residence connects with Waterside Landing ALF for extra assisted living and memory care options, maintains a strong focus on patient-centered care, and strives to make sure every resident feels comfortable and looked after, whatever their health status may be, with friendly staff always nearby, plenty of activities to pass the time, and flexible schedules to suit each person's habits and needs.
