Our Bright Horizons of Coral Springs is one our four assisted living facilities located in Coral Springs, Florida. This assisted living facility is located on 1st Street in Coral Springs, just on the south side of Atlantic Boulevard, in the neighborhood of Coral Square Mall. This assisted living facility is a large five-bedroom home, open and bright in a nice quiet family neighborhood with a very large fenced yard. This particular house has one semi-private room with two beds and four private rooms. We have done extensive modifications to this facility, including installing tile floors throughout, remodeling the bathrooms, and putting in a brand-new kitchen. This is a very sought-out location for an assisted living facility because of its proximity to the Coral Square Mall, and convenient location to surrounding cities, including Margate, Tamarac, Boca Raton and Coconut Creek. We are just about the same distance between the Turnpike and the Sawgrass Expressway, for easy access to main roads. All our assisted living locations in Coral Springs have easy access to three surrounding hospitals, where our visiting physicians practice and care for our residents when needed. Coral Springs Staff As with all of our assisted living facilities, we have a committed staff that has worked with us for several years. Our staff is knowledgeable, caring, competent, and professional at handling any situations that arise with our residents. They are very familiar with needs of the elderly population, and local culture. Personalized Care at Coral Springs Bright Horizons Assisted Living Facilities are regulated and licensed to operate in the State of Florida, like many other larger facilities in the area. What separates Bright Horizons from the large assisted living facilities is the fact that our residents can age in place, while a large assisted living facility eventually will ask the resident to move out because they can no longer provide the services needed due to their staff ratio. Small assisted living facilities bridge the gap between the large facility and a nursing home for a much lower cost. As the level of care increases due to the aging process, our elderly care is custom-tailored to meet all the needs of our residents. To ensure one-on-one care, we tailor our levels of care with all the Activities of Daily Living. Our small home environment is perfect for seniors suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers disease because it makes our residents feel as though they are living at home. We understand that our residents will require more services as they age, and we provide each resident individualized care such as bathing, dressing and grooming, dining, and assistance with medication administration. We treat every resident with respect and dignity, and we encourage them to stay involved with the daily activities and entertainment and to keep in touch with family and friends for their own well-being. Our service rates for all our assisted living facilities are the same, and vary depending only on the level of care that the resident requires. We look forward to having you take a tour of the facility and can discuss our care philosophy and explain our services and rates in detail. Please contact us, to see how we can be of help.
