Covenant Living of Florida is a continuing care retirement community in Plantation, Florida, offering assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and continuing care retirement community services. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps an apartment, memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and nursing home care provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Having multiple care levels can support a resident whose needs grow without requiring a move away from the community or a social fresh start.
With 55 beds, Covenant Living of Florida may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and Shurmekia Mckenzie serves as the administrator.
An outdoor pool and fitness center give residents places to swim and exercise, while walking paths and an outdoor patio with gardens offer options for walking or sitting outside. Restaurant style dining, chef prepared meals, and an on site bistro keep dining within the community.
