La Casa Senior Assisted Living in Merritt Island delivers a focused Assisted Living program designed to support residents with a wide range of medical needs. The community accepts individuals who wander during the day or night, who have a history of elopement, who may be combative, or who live with other behavioral concerns, including being awake throughout the night. Care is in place for residents requiring oxygen therapy, adults under the age of sixty who need an assisted-living setting, and people managing diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Staff members are trained to work with advanced dementia and its related challenges, so families can keep loved ones in place as conditions progress.

Care delivery is reinforced by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on staff, a nurse on site around the clock, and a backup nurse who is always on call. All employees complete background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents. Door alarms and WanderGuard technology add an extra layer of security for those at risk of exiting unsupervised. A visiting podiatrist provides routine foot care without residents leaving the building. The team can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are prepared for a variety of transfers ranging from standby help to two-person lifts, including support for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.

Accommodations include rooms that may feature a private bathroom and cable access, although not every unit has every feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour. Spaces are arranged to allow mobility devices to move easily, and maintenance staff handle day-to-day upkeep to keep rooms functional and safe.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general senior nutritional requirements, and snacks are available between meal times. Staff can provide full assistance during dining for residents who need help cutting food, lifting utensils, or monitoring intake, ensuring that everyone maintains appropriate nutrition and hydration.

Residents have access to wheelchair-friendly common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, and internet connectivity for email, video chats, and entertainment. Outdoor communal gardens give residents a place to sit or walk when weather permits, and the property’s proximity to public transportation makes it practical for family visits and personal appointments.
