Overview of Morselife Memory Care Residence

Morselife Memory Care Residence offers nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, palliative care, and skilled nursing in West Palm Beach, FL. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting and supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Skilled nursing has licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Hospice care supports needs at the end of life, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management for someone with serious illness. With multiple care levels available, the community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The 218 bed residence is in the Century Village neighborhood, placing it among larger communities with more residents, more staff, and usually more programming. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 37 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident. A Walk Score of 33 out of 100 describes a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride, and a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.

Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare can apply to eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay gives families a direct payment option for care. Rehabilitation services include short term rehab and Parkinson’s Therapy, giving residents access to temporary recovery focused care or therapy related to Parkinson’s disease. Pets are allowed, so a resident may keep a pet in the community.

Kayla Danford is the administrator, and The Joseph L. Morse Health Center operates the community.
