Buena Vida Estates is a continuing care retirement community in the Cannova Park neighborhood of Melbourne, Florida, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Independent living provides private living with community services rather than daily care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication management. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without leaving the community. Private rooms give each resident an individual living space rather than shared accommodation. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to bring a pet when moving in.
Residents can use a pool, salon and spa, fitness center, chef prepared meals, themed parties, and scheduled transportation to appointments, shopping, and entertainment. An on site non-denominational chapel is available for chapel services. A Walk Score of 69 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach select destinations independently.
