SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES IN FLORIDA

For individuals finding it difficult or impossible to live independently after a traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI) or other neurologic, catastrophic or challenging diagnosis, including those with long-standing behavioral difficulties resulting from a medical diagnosis.

At NeuLife, individuals with any of these needs can be assured they will find a comfortable and spacious home-like environment at NeuLife. Whether in need of short-term respite or long-term care and support, care and services are tailored to the individual based on his or her needs and preferences, with specific focus on being able to live as independently as possible with support services and supervision as needed. NeuLife clients look forward to each day, as they know their needs are met and their preferences are honored and respected.

“Activities of daily living” (ADLs) is a term that becomes well known to an individual who is seeking supported living services to maintain or regain as much independence as possible following a catastrophic injury or catastrophic diagnoses. These are activities most of us do every day without even thinking. When an individual is recovering from a catastrophic injury, he or she often finds the need to really think about each task. There are six basic ADLs: eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (walking) and continence. An individual’s ability to perform ADLs is important when determining the specific care the individual needs.

In addition to programs to address the six basic ADLs, there is a training kitchen at NeuLife, so our clients are able to not only meet the body’s need for nutrition, but to continue or re-learn to prepare meals. And with its proximity to the city of Mount Dora, Florida, NeuLife clients have the opportunity, as able, to shop for needed food items and prepare meals with staff supervision as needed. With a laundry room onsite, our clients can take care of their laundry needs, as able.

NeuLife’s philosophy is that healing, wellness and personal fulfillment are best accomplished in a positive and uplifting therapeutic environment where caring staff encourage, assist and support each client so he or she may achieve specific goals. NeuLife believes personal fulfillment is an equally important goal as increasing function and independence.

NeuLife is an innovative, fully accessible licensed 54-bed residential post-acute program situated on 43 acres near downtown Mount Dora, Florida, where individuals with catastrophic injuries can enjoy recreational outings and become productive members of the community. NeuLife’s multidisciplinary team tailors plans to meet the specific needs and goals of each client served. NeuLife serves adults ages 18 and over. Individuals referred to NeuLife may stay for any established period of time, whether for short-term, long-term or respite care.

All services outlined for each individual are included in an all-inclusive comprehensive per diem.
