Farrington House
Farrington House is an assisted living community in Merritt Island, Florida, in the Holiday Cove neighborhood. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication while allowing residents to keep their own living space. The home has six beds. Private and semi-private rooms are available, so a resident can have a room alone or share with a companion, and the smaller setting may suit someone who prefers a more intimate community.
Payment options include insurance or HMO coverage, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs benefits, giving eligible residents and families access to those coverage or benefit sources for care. Rosalva Milien is the administrator, and Ssbp Management operates Farrington House. The home is one story, which may be easier for a resident who has difficulty using stairs, and pets are allowed, so someone with a pet can continue living with that animal at the community.
