Salterra at Melbourne delivers assisted living care designed for seniors who need daily support while maintaining as much independence as possible. Licensed nurses and care staff manage routine health monitoring, medication reminders, diabetes management, and coordination with outside physicians. Short-term respite stays are available, allowing families a break or providing a trial period for prospective residents.
The community maintains a secured environment to reduce exit-seeking risks and keep residents safe around the clock. On-site speech therapy is available by appointment, and staff can arrange additional rehabilitative services as required. Caregivers are present 24/7 to respond to emergencies, assist with activities of daily living, and adjust care plans when medical needs change.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency apartments to units with kitchenettes, all of which are air-conditioned and wired for cable or satellite TV and high-speed internet. Some residences include handicap-accessible features, while select apartments offer views of landscaped grounds, proximity to outdoor walking paths, or access to parking. Housekeeping, utilities, and maintenance are included, and common areas feature a piano, computer or media center, and outdoor gardens. Cats are welcome, but not every apartment includes every listed feature, so touring the specific unit is recommended.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with accommodations for vegetarian, kosher, low-sodium, and gluten-free preferences. Healthy snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may purchase guest meals for visiting family and friends. Menu planning focuses on balanced nutrition, and staff track dietary needs in collaboration with healthcare providers.
Residents can take part in clubs and community groups, exercise in the swimming pool, practice yoga or chair yoga, and join scheduled fitness and wellness programs. Recreational options include library and computer lounge access, arts and crafts, bingo, karaoke, live entertainment, TV or movie nights, social outings, dances, happy hours, and birthday parties. An activity center coordinates reminiscence programs and indoor walking paths support year-round mobility regardless of weather.
