Loving Care of the Treasure Coast LLC

My friend has moved into Loving Care of the Treasure Coast. I saw the place and decided this would be the best thing for her. She is one of six residents that stay there on a permanent basis. It's a home residential care, and it has a large master bedroom. My friend shares a bedroom with another woman. There is a large yard. She gets her meals, she gets her meds, and she has somebody come in and check her blood pressure. I have taken her out a couple of times from the place and brought her back. They're always willing to assist and to help. They're concerned about her condition and treat her with respect and care. As far as I know, all of the rooms are shared. There are three shared rooms with two people in each of the rooms. It is a large enough room, that my friend has her own space, her own dresser and her own closet where her things are. Considering the options that I had of putting her into an institutionalized place and putting her into something that was a little more personal, I decided that she would best fit into this kind of setting. They have activities except there's Covid going on right now. Each has his/her recliner in the living room for a TV. They have bingo and certain other activities, but with Covid, they have a lot of restrictions. Generally, I was told that the owner takes them out to Olive Gardens once a month. When I go to visit, I have to wear a mask and I'm only allowed in certain parts of the house. They take my temperature each time I come in, so precautions are being taken. My friend has only been in there for three weeks now, so I assume as Covid gets repressed, there will be more things available for her. I was there when they served breakfast to her, I was there when they offered her a bowl of fruits just the other day, and I thought that was fun. I was there when they had a turkey dinner for Christmas. She is not losing weight and she is not gaining weight, so I assume she is being well fed. The facility itself is fine. It is a home, not a resort. It is for people who cannot take care of themselves and need 24/7 supervision. My friend fits into that category because she has dementia. I'm very pleased with the situation so far and I prefer it to putting her into an institutionalized place where she would get lost in the shuffle. It's clean and well kept. It is reasonable and comfortable. This is the only one I went into in person and when I saw it, I said this is the best fit and I didn't have to look further. They are personable and that's really important when you're dealing with people.
