Village Estates at Vero Beach offers assisted-living care with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Residents who need management of special diets or oral-medication diabetes care are monitored by an on-site RN or LPN, with a licensed nurse on call 24 hours a day. The community is equipped to support individuals living with moderate dementia and can continue to serve residents who present psychiatric concerns. Podiatry visits are conducted in the building, reducing the need for outside appointments and transportation.
Daily hands-on support is available for bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and staff can provide standby or full assistance with walkers and wheelchairs. An awake night shift, pull-cord alert system, personal emergency response devices and a secured, fenced rear area with Wander Guard help minimize risks for residents who may attempt to leave the property unsupervised. All employees undergo background checks, and a 24-hour security presence keeps the building monitored around the clock. An activity director organizes structured programming designed to keep residents engaged and oriented.
Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments, and not all units have every feature. Select apartments include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independently controlled heating and air conditioning, cable connections and space residents may paint or decorate. For those living independently on campus, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service and a monthly meal plan are available so tenants can keep their focus on personal interests rather than household chores.
Three meals a day are prepared by the culinary team, with a rotating set menu as well as an on-order option that allows residents to choose alternatives at each seating. Snacks are available throughout the day, and special dietary requests—including carbohydrate-controlled plates for diabetics—are accommodated without surcharge. Staff observe meal intake to ensure proper nutrition and coordinate closely with nursing when adjustments are needed.
Residents have access to off-street parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet service, a barber and beauty shop, an outdoor pool and on-site religious services. All apartments are wheelchair accessible, and each one includes a full kitchen, patio and washer/dryer hook-up. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas. Scheduled transportation is offered for shopping and medical appointments, and the property sits near public transit stops for additional travel options.
