Sharon’s Independent Homes in Orlando offers both Independent Living and a Residential Care Home setting for older adults who do not require dementia support. Residents live in a community that assumes they can make many day-to-day decisions while still having staff on hand for routine health monitoring and coordination with outside medical providers. Nursing oversight is available to track vital signs, manage medication reminders, and communicate changes in condition to physicians, but specialized memory-care programming is not part of the service package.
Daily assistance is focused on the activities of daily living. Staff members are trained to cue or assist with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and these services are adjusted to the resident’s level of independence. When mobility is an issue, transfers can be performed with the help of a walker or wheelchair, and caregivers are available to steady or fully support the resident as needed. The goal is to offer just enough help to keep residents safe without removing their sense of control.
Apartments come in several layouts, and not every unit has the same features. Some include a kitchenette for light meal preparation, while others arrive fully furnished to make moving easier; select rooms also provide cable connections for personal entertainment. The community recognizes that preferences differ and recommends confirming which features are in a specific apartment before signing a lease. Weekly housekeeping and laundry services are included for Independent Living residents to reduce everyday chores and allow them to focus on hobbies or social events.
Dining services supply three structured meals a day with attention to dietary restrictions ordered by a physician. Snacks are available between meals so residents can manage blood-sugar levels or simply satisfy hunger on their own schedule. Meals are served in a communal dining area to encourage social interaction, but residents with a kitchenette can store light groceries for added flexibility.
Residents benefit from on-site parking, and scheduled transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or shopping trips. The building is wheelchair accessible throughout, including common rooms and outdoor walkways. Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas to maintain indoor air quality, and complimentary internet access keeps residents connected with family, friends, and online services.
