Belvedere Commons of Fort Walton Beach provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. Staff are trained to manage advanced dementia and a range of medical needs, including residents who wander in the morning or evening, those who are prone to elopement, individuals who stay up all night, and people requiring specialized diets or oral diabetic medication management.
The community maintains a 24-hour nurse-on-call system, conducts background checks on all employees, and staffs an awake night shift. An Activity Director plans daily programs, while round-the-clock security and staff maintain oversight. On-site podiatry reduces off-site medical trips. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the team can support transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or a one-person lift.
Resident apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate. Because layouts vary, not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit.
Meals are prepared to order, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diets, which complements the community’s broader focus on diabetes management and other nutritional needs.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
