Tropical Heaven Inc. sits in Miami, FL 33175, tucked away at 14201 SW 48th Ln, as a small board and care home providing assisted living, memory care, and a day program for folks who can't quite live alone but don't need the constant skilled nursing you'd find in a nursing home, and the owner, Yudyth Perez, lends a hand with resident assistance applications herself, which some families appreciate when sorting out paperwork. The place keeps just six assisted living units, set up with choices like studio suites, semi-private rooms, or one-bedroom units, and pets-both dogs and cats-are welcome. The care staff handle nearly everything, including medication management, diabetic care, high acuity and ambulatory care, feeding by spoon if needed, and personal help with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, housekeeping, laundry, incontinence care, and making fresh, chef-prepared meals that residents eat in a dining hall or private dining room. There's a dedicated memory care program for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, along with a continence management program, tailored service plans, and staff around all the time for any emergencies.
Healthcare help is on site with nurses, a nurse on call, a doctor available, dentist, speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and even a podiatrist, and residents can also get routine health assessments and general healthcare support. Residents can park their own cars or get complimentary rides for doctor appointments and errands, and the nearby area has everything from two cafes and eight parks to 26 pharmacies and eighteen restaurants, plus a place of worship for those who want it. For those with hobbies or energy, there's a community kitchen, library area, a theater room for movies, fitness and educational activities, massage therapy, and outdoor decks to enjoy. The place stays very clean and neat, with flat screen TVs, household chores like vacuuming and dusting looked after, and apartment security systems for safety, including panic buttons throughout each unit.
Staff support helps keep folks engaged, and the setting works for both men and women, people with low or high care needs, and those who want either more independence or a day program with supervision. Residents who need more help-such as with feeding, moving around, or specialized intervention-have those options, along with equipment and medical supplies provided as needed. Laundry and housekeeping happen regularly, and there's always staff for mealtime help. The place is dog and cat friendly, offers computers, and the organization can help with all sorts of reporting and filings as a Florida profit corporation. The home's known for its cleanliness and its focus on health, comfort, and security, with all utilities covered for simplicity. With only six apartments, it often feels more like a home than a big institution, and the care team works together to meet the individual needs of every resident, whether for basic or more complex care, with ongoing health monitoring and help always nearby.
