Violet Gardens Assisted Living Facility

372 Sw Todd Avenue, Port St. Lucie, FL 34983
Overview of Violet Gardens Assisted Living Facility

There are seven care types at Violet Gardens Assisted Living Facility in Port St. Lucie, FL. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care make up the residential end, and nursing home care, skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite care cover the rest.

A private home without daily care is what independent living means. At the assisted living level, residents get a hand with medication, bathing, and dressing. Memory care pairs supervision with secure quarters for anyone likely to wander.

Every night, licensed nurses are working on both nursing levels. Hospice care turns to comfort as life nears its end. Respite care fills a short gap in a family’s own caregiving arrangements.

Private rooms give each resident a space alone. With levels running from independent living to hospice, shifting needs won’t push a resident toward another community.
