Living Excellence Group Home of Miami

Living Excellence Group Home of Miami sits at 12949 SW 197th St in Miami, Florida, and offers a small, home-like setting with only 6 beds, so you won't find big crowds or a busy feeling here, but instead, a quieter community with studios, single bedrooms, or shared units designed for comfort and simple living, with things like private or semi-private rooms, pureed dining options for those who need them, and spaces like a community kitchen and spacious living room to sit with others or on your own, and everything stays wheelchair accessible for folks who need extra help getting around, and for people living with memory care needs like Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, the staff provide special support with things like tailored care plans, toileting and dressing help, spoon feeding, and medication management, and there's always someone around since caregivers are on site all day and night. Residents get things like meals prepared by a chef, options for vegetarian or kosher diets, and snacks on hand, plus massage therapy, arts and crafts classes, exercise programs in the fitness section, wellness programs, and chances to participate in activities both in the facility and out in the community. Help with laundry, bathroom cleaning, and showering comes with the care, and a registered nurse checks in to do regular health assessments and handles health monitoring, with the option for scheduled doctor visits. Residents can bring their cats or dogs, and the community includes transportation for things like appointments, outings, or errands, with parking for those who still drive, and there's an on-site pharmacy and registered dietitian to help meet health and dietary needs. Safety features include emergency call buttons, and for those who want some entertainment, there's a theatre, game room, computer learning classes, and a reading area, along with a beauty and barbershop, chapel, snack shop, community kitchen, and both indoor and outdoor areas to walk or sit quietly. All living units get their utilities included. The home serves people who need long-term non-acute care but don't require the medical level of a nursing home, and people living here get services for daily living like bathing, dressing, cooking, and mobility support, along with personal requests, non-ambulatory and diabetic care, and help for people living with incontinence. Living Excellence Group Home reports yearly to the state, is managed by Maria D Cruz, and stays licensed by Florida's state or local government. The surrounding area is quiet, and the overall style here leans toward practical comforts rather than luxury, with the idea of providing peace of mind for families and steady, attentive care for seniors as they age.
