Palace Retirement Home in Rockledge provides assisted-living care with a strong clinical orientation. The community can accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit behavioral issues, remain awake overnight, use oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale dosing. Care teams are trained to support advanced dementia and related cognitive conditions, adjusting interventions as needs change.
Round-the-clock oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents while the fenced rear grounds help maintain safety for those who may exit-seek. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric issues. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one-person assist, walker or wheelchair support, and care for bed-bound individuals.
Private and semi-private accommodations come furnished, and residents may paint or decorate their space to reflect personal taste. Cable service is offered, though not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific options during a tour.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with the flexibility to order alternatives. Therapeutic diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-directed modifications, are routinely managed. Snacks are available between meals to help maintain stable nutrition and blood-sugar levels.
Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, community internet, and religious services held within the building. Public transportation stops are nearby for off-site appointments or visits.
