Discovery Village At Melbourne offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between support levels without leaving the community. Clinical services can accommodate residents who wander day or night, require oxygen therapy, follow special diets, are under 60 years old, or live with diabetes managed by oral medications, injections, or sliding‐scale insulin. The Memory Care program is equipped to handle advanced dementia conditions and tailors interventions to each stage of the disease. Residents benefit from coordinated medical oversight, medication management, and continuous monitoring that adjusts as needs change.
Care delivery is reinforced by licensed nurses on duty around the clock, routine presence of an RN or LPN, and strict background checks for all team members. An awake night shift, 24-hour security staff, fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems strengthen resident safety. A full-time activity director plans daily therapeutic programs, and visiting podiatrists provide on-site foot care. Staff can supply full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and can support mobility using walkers, wheelchairs, standby oversight, or one- and two-person transfers as needed.
Accommodations range from studio to apartment-style layouts. Some residences include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable access, and permission to paint or decorate; not every unit contains every feature, so families should confirm availability. Independent Living residents receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a predictable monthly meal plan.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order options at each meal, with snacks always available. The culinary team can modify textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to align with physician-ordered diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, and other specialized plans. Flexible seating and consistent meal times aim to reduce confusion for Memory Care residents, while Independent Living residents may choose to prepare light meals in their kitchenettes or join neighbors in the main dining room.
Residents and guests have access to on-site parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, barber/beauty shop, internet connectivity, communal gardens, and religious services. Transportation for medical appointments and shopping trips is provided, and the property is close to public transit stops. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, the entire campus is wheelchair-accessible, and pets are welcome in accordance with community guidelines—it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
