Providing housing and healthcare services to seniors is Golden Pond Communities
purpose. A senior services company based in Winter Garden, Florida, we believe in
partnering with families to care for and nurture senior family members. It's a mission we
take seriously. We recognize that, when families choose Golden Pond Communities
residence, they are trusting us to care for their family members. At Golden Pond Communities, we recognize that every person has many needs - physical,
intellectual, social, spiritual, and emotional - and that good health and a balanced
lifestyle are the result of caring for and respecting those needs.
Golden Pond Communities hosts an Alzheimer's Support Group the fourth Tuesday of each
month beginning at 6:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend. For the convenience of
those who attend the meeting a
complimentary dinner is served.
Some seniors have unique needs. To meet the needs of people with Alzheimer's or other
memory-support issues, we have special care residences.
Unlike many assisted living facilities, Golden Pond Communities now offers Limited Nursing Services and provides 24 hour nursing services 7 days per week. This not only provides additional care for our residents, but facilitates their ability to age-in-place as is widely preferred by senior adults.
If your loved one is living with memory loss such as
Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, you need assistance, support, and understanding
in order to have peace of mind. Reflections offers unique, private accommodations
specifically designed to be secure yet dignified and tastefully decorated. A unique approach to preserving individuality and memory: Our program of activities are specially designed to meet the variety of
needs of those with memory impairments, such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
We
offer memory enhancement programs which are designed to gently remind the senses to respond
to stimulation. A wide variety of supervised activities all contribute to addressing the
problems associated with memory loss. Reminiscence and Music
therapies are used to allow the individual to reflect upon fond memories. |
Golden Pond Communities hosts a Parkinson Support Group the fourth Wednesday of each month at 10:00 am. Lunch is included. The support group is sponsored by Florida Hospital South.
Assisted living at Golden Pond Communities offers a combination of all
the character and comfort of home combined with the right amount of assistance for
residents in daily routine activities. We promote maximum independence by only providing
assistance which is requested or required. Assisted living is a service which promotes each
resident's dignity and independence and encourages the involvement of family and friends.
The Need for Assisted Living
Assisted Living is a growing service. Eighty percent of all Americans
live past the age of 65. That number is reflective of both the improvement in medical care
and an increase in education of preventive health measures. People over the age of 85 make
up the fastest growing age segment.
Assisted living also provides a service to
the family members of older adults. Today, with adults having fewer children and their
respective parents living longer, 30 percent of all working adults are caregivers to their
parents and children at the same time. Until recently, a nursing home was the only
solution. Assisted living provides a wonderful alternative for both seniors and their loved
ones.
Family members often see a dramatic improvement in the health and attitude of their loved
one after he or she moves into an assisted living residence. Consistent, quality meals and
increased social involvement are significant changes for someone who has been living alone.
If you have further questions about assisted living, please contact us for more
information.
