The Contemporary Miami offers an Independent Living program designed for older adults who want to maintain an active lifestyle while having access to health-related resources. Residents can schedule on-site wellness evaluations, receive basic health screenings, and participate in preventive health clinics arranged through local providers. A licensed nurse is available on a scheduled basis and remains on call for urgent questions, while third-party home health agencies can be engaged for medication management or skilled services if a resident’s needs change. Emergency pull cords or wearable pendants connect directly to staff, and the community maintains relationships with nearby hospitals for rapid transfer when acute care is required.
Additional support features are organized to help residents stay on top of their health without leaving the property. The staff coordinates transportation to medical appointments, helps arrange therapy visits in the building, and keeps health profiles updated so information is ready for outside physicians. A concierge schedules lab or imaging services that can be provided on site, and weekly blood-pressure and weight checks are available for those monitoring chronic conditions. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, reducing physical strain and allowing residents to focus on wellness programs such as balance classes and supervised fitness sessions that target mobility and fall prevention.
Living spaces range from studios to two-bedroom apartments. Each residence includes a kitchenette, individual climate control, cable hookups, and Wi-Fi access; select units add full kitchens, in-unit laundry, or private balconies, but not all accommodations have every feature. Bathrooms are outfitted with walk-in showers and grab bars, and maintenance staff handle repairs. The monthly fee covers utilities, weekly housekeeping, and use of common areas such as the fitness center, library, and outdoor courtyard.
Dining services provide three meals a day in a central restaurant-style dining room with open seating. Menus rotate regularly and include heart-healthy, low-sodium, and diabetic-friendly options created with input from a registered dietitian. Residents order at the table from several entrée choices, and lighter fare is available all day in the café for those who prefer flexible meal times. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and room service is offered during illness or on request for a small fee.
