Paradise Care Cottage in Port Saint Lucie is an assisted-living residence that concentrates on residents who need day-to-day medical oversight. The community is prepared to help individuals who wander at any time of day, manage behavioral changes, stay awake throughout the night, or require oxygen therapy. Staff members also monitor special diets, support residents younger than 60, and manage diabetes controlled by oral medications. Mild dementia is accepted, and care plans are adjusted to match each resident’s cognitive and physical needs.
Care delivery is backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, an awake night shift, and an activity director who coordinates structured engagement. The property maintains door alarms, pull cords, and a PERS system to alert staff, and security personnel are on site around the clock. Podiatry visits are provided on premises, and the cottage accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. For daily living tasks, caregivers offer full assistance with bathing and dressing, some physical assistance with eating and toileting, and can manage transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or a one-person lift.
Resident accommodations include choices that may feature a private bathroom, a kitchenette, basic furnishings, and cable service; some rooms can be painted or otherwise personalized. Not every suite includes every option, so families should confirm the exact layout and features when touring.
Meals are served from a set menu with the flexibility to order alternatives, and snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen staff can modify textures and ingredients to meet doctor-ordered diet plans or resident preferences, coordinating closely with the care team to maintain nutritional goals.
Amenities and services round out daily life with resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair access throughout the building, and scheduled transportation that links to nearby public transit. A barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services, and community-wide internet access are also offered. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
