We are a secured memory care home, specializing in care for people living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory-related conditions. It’s the one thing we do, and we do it exceptionally well.

Assisted living supports people who are largely independent. A nursing home is a clinical, medical setting. A memory care home like ours sits in between: a real, home-like environment, secured for safety, with caregivers specially trained for the needs of dementia — so your loved one is safe and at home.

Just 16, never more. That’s a deliberate choice. It’s what lets us truly know each person and give the kind of attention larger facilities can’t.

Our care is all-inclusive: housing, meals, personal care, medication management, housekeeping and laundry, in-house activities, all activities of daily living (ADLs),  care plans, 24-hour caregiving, showers, soaps, resident transfers, incontinence supplies, towels, bedding, and furniture (you are welcome to bring your own as well). We believe in one honest rate, not a base price with surprise add-ons.

Every family’s situation is a little different, so the best way to talk about cost is a real conversation.

We care for individuals across the full journey of memory loss — from early and middle-stage dementia through the later stages. Because every person is different, we begin with a personal assessment to understand your loved one’s specific needs and the level of care required. This helps us ensure Lighthouse is the right fit and that we can care for them beautifully, both now and as their needs change.

All staff are trained with a 6-hour dementia training certificate, CPR and first aid certified, and encouraged to have their QMAP. A trained and awake QMAP will always be available on-site to administer any necessary medications and provide care.

The Lighthouse on Florence is excited to offer a 4:1 staff ratio to provide the best care possible for our residents. The small resident-staff-to-resident ratio will allow our experienced staff to perform any act of daily living without feeling rushed. Whether it be an extra minute to select the perfect outfit or promote independence by allowing the residents to be as independent as possible in the ADLS, the small staff-to-resident ratio will allow the extra time needed. The extra time will allow our staff to participate in activities with the residents and ensure their comfort.

The Lighthouse on Florence knows and understands the importance of quality food in a home. As we strive to bring a homelike feeling to our residents, we will strive to provide farm-to-table meals as often as possible. All staff will be food-certified and provide an alternative if the family style meal provided is not desired. Residents can request snacks and drinks 24/7. Fresh fruit will always be an option, along with snacks to meet the sweet tooth needs.

The Lighthouse on Florence will work with each resident’s unique needs to make the move seamless. The manager will assess a potential resident as soon as 48 hours after the inquiry. This lets you rest assured that a potential resident qualifies to live at our assisted living memory care. Whether you are looking for an immediate move-in or a few months down the road, our luxurious home will accommodate up to 16 residents.

We strive to take as much off the family’s plate as possible as a team. We offer our local pharmacy services that allow the residents to receive their medications directly through the pharmacy and have them delivered to The Lighthouse on Florence. Medications ordered by the residents’ doctors will be filled through the pharmacy, billed to the residents’ insurance, and administered by our staff.

The Lighthouse on Florence offers fully furnished rooms. We know how stressful a move-in can be, so we offer all furnishings, from bed sheets to coffee tables. We also encourage residents to personalize their rooms.

Absolutely! Celebrations at The Lighthouse in Florence are some of the best days, in our opinion. We highly encourage families, loved ones, and the community to celebrate alongside us.

Yes, The Lighthouse on Florence will work with all therapies and hospice teams as ordered by a doctor. We are committed to therapies and have a house dog named Belle to support our residents emotionally.

Our staff will promote strength and mobility through daily exercises provided at The Lighthouse on Florence. Our technology will detect residents if they have fallen. Our low staff-to-resident ratio will also allow residents to be reminded to use an assistive device if necessary and assist with the ADLS they require.
