Homestead Village of Pensacola delivers three primary levels of support—Independent Living for residents who want minimal assistance, Assisted Living for those who need routine help with daily tasks, and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Each care type is designed to let residents shift smoothly to a higher or lower level of assistance as their needs change, keeping them within the same community whenever possible and minimizing disruptions to routines.
A secured perimeter and staff trained in dementia protocols provide a controlled environment for residents who may wander. The community accepts short-term respite stays and can manage diabetes care, including glucose monitoring and insulin administration. On-site clinical resources cover incontinence care, ambulatory care, hospice coordination, medication management, and routine visits from a nurse, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and podiatrist. Dedicated memory-support areas are built to reduce confusion and accommodate residents with memory loss.
Apartments and suites vary in size and layout, with options that may include wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-accessible features, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV connections, Wi-Fi, and nearby parking. Outdoor common areas offer additional space for relaxation, and the property is pet-friendly, although not every residence can accommodate animals, and not every unit includes every listed feature.
Daily meals are prepared by a professional chef, and menus are structured to meet nutritional guidelines while allowing for personal preferences and physician-ordered diets. Residents receive three meals a day, and guests can purchase meals to dine alongside family members. Consistent hydration and snack options are available throughout the day, supporting specialized dietary requirements such as carbohydrate-controlled plans for those managing diabetes.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, a multipurpose activity center, and regularly scheduled yoga or chair-yoga sessions. Social calendars include intergenerational programs, birthday celebrations, and organized outings to local attractions. Those who enjoy time outside can spend it in designated outdoor areas or by the community swimming pool.
