The Peninsula in Hollywood, FL operates as an assisted-living community that can accommodate residents with a wide range of health needs, including those living with advanced dementia. The care team oversees residents who wander during the day or night, remain awake overnight, require wound care, use oxygen, need specialized diets, or are younger than 60. Diabetic management is available for both oral-medication users and those who need insulin injections, and staff coordinate closely with outside physicians to keep treatment plans current.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on duty around the clock, and an additional nurse remains on site 24 hours a day to handle changes in condition. All team members undergo background checks, the night shift is fully awake, and emergency pendant alerts tie directly to staff for rapid response. An activity director leads structured programming, while security personnel stay on site at all hours. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside trips, and caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from supervision to one-person mechanical or manual support, whether the resident uses a walker or wheelchair.
Apartments at The Peninsula may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and permission to paint or decorate, although specific features vary by unit. Residents choose between set meal plans and made-to-order options in the dining room, with snacks always available. Dietary modifications are managed by the culinary and clinical teams to align menus with physician directives.
Independent-living residents who elect medication-management monitoring receive the same oversight of prescriptions, refills, and administration schedules that assisted-living residents do, without sacrificing their day-to-day autonomy.
The community offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, and the option to bring a pet. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and regular laundry and housekeeping. Health-related services such as visits from a geriatric internist, audiologist, physical and occupational therapists, and a dermatologist are coordinated on site. Residents can select a monthly meal plan and use scheduled transportation, while nearby public transit provides an additional travel option.
