What does assisted living at Breuer Health include?

Our assisted living services are designed to enhance independence while providing support exactly where it's needed. This typically includes comfortable residential accommodations, nutritious meals prepared by our culinary team, housekeeping and laundry services, personal care assistance with daily activities, medication management support, 24/7 emergency response systems, and engaging activity programs. We also provide transportation for medical appointments and local outings. Each resident receives a personalized care plan tailored to their specific needs and preferences, ensuring they maintain as much independence as possible while receiving professional support for daily living.

How much does assisted living cost, and what payment options do you accept?

Assisted living costs vary based on the level of care needed, apartment size, and specific services required. We believe in transparent pricing and will provide you with detailed information about all fees during your consultation. Our team can help you understand what's included in the base rate versus additional services. We accept private pay, long-term care insurance, and can provide guidance on veteran benefits that may help with costs. Some of our residents also qualify for certain assistance programs. We're committed to working with families to explore all available options and create sustainable payment plans that allow your loved one to receive the care they need.

How do I know if my parent is ready for assisted living?

This is often the most challenging question families face. Some common indicators include difficulty with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication management; safety concerns such as falls or confusion; declining nutrition or home maintenance; social isolation; or when family caregiving becomes overwhelming. However, every situation is unique. We offer complimentary consultations to help assess your loved one's needs and discuss whether assisted living might be beneficial. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision that prioritizes safety while honoring your parent's preferences and maintaining their dignity and independence.

an you accommodate special dietary needs or medical conditions?

Absolutely. Our communities are designed to support residents with various health conditions and dietary requirements. Our culinary teams can accommodate special diets including diabetic-friendly, heart-healthy, low-sodium, and texture-modified meals. We work closely with residents' healthcare providers to ensure proper nutrition and medication management. Our staff receives training in managing common conditions affecting seniors, and we coordinate with outside medical professionals as needed. During your tour and consultation, we'll discuss your loved one's specific needs to ensure we can provide appropriate care and support.

What safety measures and emergency preparedness do you have in place?

Safety is our top priority. Our communities feature 24/7 staffing, emergency call systems in every residence, secure building access, and comprehensive emergency preparedness plans. In Florida, we're particularly focused on weather-related emergency planning, including backup power systems, communication protocols with families, and coordination with local emergency services. Our staff receives regular safety training, and we conduct routine safety assessments of our facilities. We also maintain detailed emergency contact information and work closely with residents' healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care during any emergency situation.

How involved can family members be in care and daily life?

Family involvement is not just welcomed—it's encouraged. We believe family connections are essential to residents' well-being and happiness. Families can participate in care planning meetings, join residents for meals, attend community events and activities, and visit at any reasonable time. We maintain open communication with families about their loved one's care and well-being, and we're always available to address questions or concerns. Many families find that when daily care responsibilities are handled professionally, they can focus on spending quality time together and maintaining the emotional connections that matter most.
