Palmetto ALF II Inc., found at 8933 Northwest 172nd Terrace in Hialeah, Florida, is a small senior living home licensed under Florida Department of Social Services number 11553 with space for up to 6 residents, making it feel more like a home than a big facility and it helps seniors who can't safely live alone but don't need full nursing home care. The staff stays on site all day and night, helping with things like bathing, getting dressed, walking, transferring in and out of beds or chairs, using the restroom, taking medicine, and managing health needs like incontinence, diabetes, and high blood pressure, and there're services for those who need memory care too. Every resident has a care plan built to fit their own needs, with a focus on helping each person be as independent as possible while still getting help with daily tasks or medical needs, and support can include everything from two-person transfers to help with medications or travel to doctor appointments. The home has shared dining rooms for homemade meals three times each day (with menus that can be changed for special diets), along with furnished apartments-some of these apartments have kitchenettes, and rooms come with telephones for private calls.
Residents enjoy regular events, movie nights, group games, a fitness program, music, creative activities, pet therapy, and outings-plus a garden, outdoor areas, walking paths, community evening activities, and spots to relax outside, and there's also a sauna, jacuzzi, and an on-site hair salon or the option for a visiting barber or stylist. For those who want to keep up with their interests and faith, the staff can help with transportation to local churches, stores, medical appointments, or other events, and there are services that cover housekeeping, laundry, and assistance with medication or health coordination with doctors and nurses as needed. The community also offers resources for mental and behavioral health, with emergency alert systems in each apartment, and rooms and common areas are wheelchair accessible, so residents can move about freely and safely, maintaining their independence with just the right amount of support.
For recreation and keeping active, Palmetto ALF II Inc. often holds scheduled events and creative workshops, and there're facilities for music therapy, reading in the book room, and spending time with therapy pets. There's a focus on providing a supportive and safe home where care and supervision are available 24 hours a day, and everything is set up to help residents continue to enjoy their interests, whether that's gardening, relaxing outdoors, or joining in on community activities and group meals, and it's not too big which lets staff get to know each person well. Residents get help with moving in, as well as daily support and coordination with their doctors, and there are health services and programs to help manage different medical conditions, though the home can't accept Medicare payments unless it's certified by CMS. Palmetto ALF II Inc. follows Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity rules, offers a wide range of support for non-acute senior needs, and provides both assisted living and memory care options in a comfortable, smaller setting.
