The Veranda of Pensacola Offers Range of Care
Today’s “Friday’s Featured Facility” is The Veranda of Pensacola, a Florida continuing care retirement community. This means that The Veranda offers both independent living and assisted living options, which allows elderly residents to “age in place” – ie – transition from independent to assisted living as their needs increase.
According to their website, the apartments at The Veranda retirement community are spacious, modern and well-equipped one and two bedroom units with fully equipped kitchens. Utilities and expanded cable TV are included. The amenities at The Veranda include common areas inside and out, an indoor heated pool, fitness center, and a own stadium seating movie theatre.
The Veranda provides housekeeping, linen and laundry service, scheduled transportation for independent residents and coordination of transportation for assisted living residents, a personal emergency response system and maintenance inside and out. The Veranda also has 24-hour camera surveillance.
The dining service provides a healthy breakfast, lunch (main meal of the day) and light meal in the evening. When it is time for community outings, shopping and personal appointments, the professional staff at The Veranda retirement community will schedule the necessary transportation.
The Veranda is just one of many Florida continuing care retirement communities. To see a complete list, searchable by region, visit Florida Senior Living Advisor.
