Overview of Grace House

Grace House is a six-bed senior care home located in a single-story house in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. Run by Grace Senior Living LLC under administrator Leona James, the multi-tier facility covers independent living, assisted care, memory support, and nursing services. This ground-floor layout allows residents to move between their bedrooms and the shared dining spaces without dealing with stairs.

The daily routine includes housing, meals, and assistance with personal care routines alongside an activity schedule featuring crafts, exercise, gardening, and music programs. State inspections from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration reviewed the property’s care documentation, resident safety procedures, and emergency planning, noting that the team has taken corrective actions to address previous findings.

The local neighborhood is car-dependent with limited sidewalk access, meaning visitors and staff will need a vehicle for shopping trips and medical appointments.

Families interested in this residential setting can call the admissions office to ask about vacancy updates and check out their payment options, which include Medicaid, Veterans Affairs benefits, and Workers’ Compensation.
