Discovery Commons South Biscayne delivers two core levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—supported by options for respite or short-term stays. Residents who require routine medical oversight benefit from diabetes management, regular physician visits, and on-site speech therapy. These services are integrated into resident care plans so that individuals with changing needs can remain in their current setting and avoid unnecessary transfers.
Round-the-clock clinical monitoring is maintained with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, an awake night shift, and a security staff that stays on site at all times. A Personal Emergency Response System alerts caregivers whenever assistance is required. Residents have access to podiatry, optometry, occupational and physical therapy, ambulatory support, and incontinence and medication management. The community is also licensed for hospice, allowing people to remain in place if their health declines. Memory Care areas are designed specifically to minimize confusion and wandering.
Living quarters feature a private bathroom, basic utilities, and emergency call systems, though not every accommodation includes every enhancement, so families should confirm availability. Housekeeping and laundry are included for residents in Independent Living, helping them stay self-reliant without the burden of home maintenance.
Dining is available throughout the day, prepared by a professional chef who accommodates vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, and other physician-ordered menus. Residents can choose between communal dining rooms, a private dining room for family events, or in-room meal service when needed. Guest meals and healthy snacks are offered, ensuring social interaction and consistent nutrition.
Pets are allowed, internet access is provided in common areas and apartments, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, errands, and outings. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
