Overview of Advent Square
A 48-bed residential community in Boca Raton, Florida, is Advent Square, which is operated by the Trustees of Advent Lutheran Church. It stands in a car-dependent area on North Dixie Highway, mirroring the broader landscape of suburban South Florida.
The home offers rehabilitation services along with respite care, with a doctor on staff and 24/7 nursing care. Staff has a licensed nurse working on campus daily, and the facility maintains an in-house doctor and pharmacy to support residents’ medical needs. An Alzheimer’s Community Care Day Program is there for those managing memory-related concerns. Daily life centers on activities and connections. Residents participate in interactive music groups, weekly Bible studies, creative arts classes, and movement and exercise programming. Meals are served family-style in the dining room. Various spaces, including an activity room and pastoral care support, round out the daily environment. Ground-floor living is offered throughout the community, and this matters for residents with mobility considerations.
Over the past 14 years, state inspections show that the facility’s latest inspection found no deficiencies. Along with past citations in training, medication management, staffing, and emergency preparedness, earlier inspections identified recurring concerns in resident care rights and facility procedures. These are zones that families may want to inquire about when touring Advent Square.
