Deerfield Springs Retirement Resort offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living so residents can choose the level of oversight that matches their health profile. Licensed nurses are on-site and coordinate medication management, diabetic care for those using oral medications or insulin injections, and routine monitoring for residents younger than 60 who may have complex conditions. Therapy services include scheduled visits from occupational and physical therapists as well as a podiatrist, giving residents access to rehabilitation and foot care without leaving the building. Mild dementia conditions are supported, with care plans designed to manage memory changes while maintaining safety and dignity.
Daily support extends beyond clinical services. A full-time Activity Director organizes programs, and a PERS alert system connects residents to staff at any hour. Caregivers can assist with bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is required, while residents who can manage eating continue to do so independently. Walker and wheelchair transfers are accommodated to maintain mobility. These combined services aim to let residents remain as independent as possible while still receiving targeted help.
Accommodations range from studio to larger apartment layouts. Some residences offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space; however, not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify details during a tour. Housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan are available to Independent Living residents so they can reduce household chores without giving up autonomy.
Dining follows an on-order system that allows residents to choose meals at the time they wish to eat. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary team can prepare modified or therapeutic diets as ordered by healthcare providers. This approach helps manage conditions such as diabetes while giving residents flexibility and choice.
The community permits smoking in designated outdoor areas, welcomes pets, and features a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, and reliable internet access. Landscaped communal gardens and a Main Street-style common area provide conversation spaces as well as step-free routes that include a stair glide for added safety. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
