Mariner Palms in Spring Hill, FL offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. Care teams are trained to work with individuals who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, remain awake overnight, manage diabetes with oral medication or injections, and live with advanced dementia. The community’s structure is designed to address these needs directly, providing continuous supervision and individualized care plans that adjust as medical conditions change.
Clinical 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 night-shift caregivers remain awake to ensure resident safety. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in multiple transfer techniques, including walker support, wheelchair transfers, standby supervision, and one-person lifts. Onsite security is present around the clock, adding another layer of protection for residents with cognitive or mobility challenges.
Apartments are available with or without private bathrooms, and each unit may come furnished or allow residents to bring personal items. Cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are provided, although the exact combination of features can vary between accommodations. Families can choose the layout and service package that best fits the resident’s needs and budget.
Dining is structured to balance nutrition management with personal choice. A set menu is prepared daily, but residents may order alternate entrées, request snacks outside scheduled meal times, and receive physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sugar or mechanically altered meals. Staff are available in the dining room to provide full assistance with feeding when needed, ensuring that residents maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, and high-speed internet access helps residents stay connected to family, friends, and online resources.
