Finnish-American Village in Lake Worth offers nursing-home care that centers on consistent access to licensed nurses and on-call physicians. Residents receive 24-hour monitoring, medication administration, assistance with chronic disease management, and coordinated visits from specialists. A speech therapist is available for individuals who need help with communication or swallowing, and targeted diabetes services support blood-glucose monitoring, diet planning, and insulin management. The presence of an attending doctor streamlines any required medical evaluations or changes in treatment plans without leaving the campus.
Beyond daily medical oversight, the community provides short-term respite stays for family caregivers who need temporary relief or for individuals recovering from surgery or illness. Staff members help with bathing, dressing, and mobility, and care plans are reviewed and updated regularly. Therapy and nursing teams communicate directly with families about progress and any added interventions, ensuring continuity when a resident transitions back home or moves to long-term placement.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and select units may include kitchenettes, balconies, patios, or decks. Common features such as cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, and access to outdoor areas like the butterfly garden are offered, but not every accommodation contains every feature on the list. Parking spaces are on site for residents and visitors, and a shared piano or organ is situated in a communal area for recreation.
Meals are prepared three times a day with options that accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, vegan, and international preferences. Guest meals can be arranged, and an all-day dining model allows residents to eat on a flexible schedule rather than at fixed seating times. Nutrition staff work with clinical teams to align menu choices with doctor-ordered diets, including carb-controlled selections for diabetes care.
Residents can spend time in the activity center, browse reading materials or use a computer in the library lounge, attend happy hour, or join yoga and chair-yoga sessions. Intergenerational programs, birthday parties, live music events, planned social outings, and access to an outdoor swimming pool round out the social calendar, giving residents structured options to stay engaged without leaving the property.
