Hammock Manor in Melbourne, FL, provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living. The care team can manage residents who wander during the day or night, present elopement risks, display behavioral challenges, stay awake overnight, or require wound care, oxygen, special diets, or diabetic management by oral medication or insulin. Services also cover residents under 60 and those living with advanced dementia. An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock, so clinical questions are handled promptly. The community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses and coordinates podiatry visits on site, limiting the need for outside appointments.

Care delivery is organized to match individual abilities. Night-shift staff remain awake, background checks are completed on all employees, and a fenced rear area and personal emergency response system help reduce safety risks. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfers can be supported from simple standby to two-person or bed-bound moves, and equipment ranging from walkers to wheelchairs is accommodated. An activity director plans daily structure, giving staff more insight into residents’ routines and helping them notice subtle health changes quickly.

Living spaces range from furnished suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more basic rooms that residents can decorate or paint. Cable can be installed, though not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should verify specific room amenities during a tour. Independent Living residents may choose optional medication-management monitoring and can rely on regularly scheduled housekeeping and laundry services handled by staff.

Meals follow a set menu with an alternative on-order option at each sitting, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. Diets for diabetes, low sodium, renal considerations, or other physician-directed restrictions are prepared by staff who coordinate closely with nursing to keep nutritional needs aligned with clinical plans.

Additional conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Scheduled transportation covers medical appointments and local errands. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site religious services offer another layer of support for residents who wish to attend without leaving the property.
