Parasol Melbourne in Melbourne, FL is an assisted-living community that supports residents who need help with the activities of daily living. Certified caregivers are on duty around the clock to assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, medication reminders, and mobility. By focusing on assisted living rather than more intensive skilled-nursing levels, the community is designed for older adults who want a balance of independence and predictable help when they need it.
Additional care features include on-site access to a licensed massage therapist, scheduled wellness checks, and coordination with outside physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers. The massage therapy service is available by appointment and can be incorporated into a resident’s overall care plan to address pain management, flexibility, and stress reduction. Emergency response systems are installed throughout the property, and staff members are trained to respond quickly and to communicate with family and medical professionals when acute issues arise.
Resident apartments and suites vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature. Available options may include private balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, a central fireplace in select common areas, and outdoor decks that overlook landscaped grounds. The campus is pet-friendly, offers designated parking, and provides barrier-free access for residents who use mobility aids.
Dining operates on an all-day schedule, allowing residents to choose mealtimes that match their routines. Menus are prepared by culinary staff who consult with dietitians to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Snacks are available between meals, and the team can arrange tray service to apartments when residents are recovering from illness or therapy sessions.
Amenities and services support social engagement and physical activity. The community maintains an activity center for yoga and chair yoga, hosts happy hours, birthday parties, dances, and club meetings, and schedules regular live-music events. Residents can visit the library and computer lounge, join organized social outings, spend time outdoors on walking paths, and swim in the on-site pool.
