The Gardens of Port St. Lucie is an assisted-living community that accepts residents with moderate dementia and a broad range of medical needs. Care teams manage wandering and other behavioral concerns, keep watch over residents who are awake at night, and provide wound care, oxygen support, and diet planning. Diabetic management covers oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. A visiting podiatrist provides on-site foot care, and staff can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff around the clock, and an awake night shift ensures continuous monitoring. Background-checked personnel use a layered security system that includes fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, wander guards, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. Transfers are supported for residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or who need one- or two-person physical assistance, and an activity director coordinates daily programs.
Accommodation choices vary and may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished layouts, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space; not all units include every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability. All rooms are built for easy wheelchair access and routine maintenance is handled by on-site staff.
Meals are served with both set menus and made-to-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team can modify meals for physician-directed diets, including diabetic and other specialized nutritional requirements.
Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, and the community allows pets—it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and convenient access to public transit.
