NEW HORIZON ALF in Winter Haven delivers licensed assisted-living care with an emphasis on medical oversight. Residents who need special diets, oral diabetes management or insulin injections have those needs monitored on-site. The community accepts individuals living with moderate dementia and offers structured memory-care interventions overseen by nursing staff. In-house services extend to medication management, hospice coordination, ambulatory and incontinence care, as well as scheduled visits from a physical therapist and podiatrist, helping residents avoid unnecessary off-site appointments.

Daily support is staffed around the clock by caregivers who have passed criminal background checks, with an awake night shift in place and doors alarmed for added safety. The rear grounds are fenced, and an activity director plans programs suited to varying cognitive and mobility levels. Residents who require help with personal care can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help to one-person lifts, and equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs is accommodated.

Accommodation options include rooms that may feature a private bathroom, basic furnishings and cable service, although not every unit offers all three. Laundry service and routine housekeeping are handled by staff, and those living more independently can opt for medication-management monitoring to ensure prescriptions are taken on schedule.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks available between dining periods. The kitchen team can modify textures, portion sizes or ingredients to align with physicians’ orders, dietitian recommendations and individual preferences. Residents in the independent-living wing can still take part in the main dining program while relying on staff for housekeeping and laundry as needed.

Amenities on the property include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, internet access and on-site religious services. Outdoor smoking areas are designated away from main entrances, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
