Group Home

Planned Care Agency’s Group Home is a residence for persons with disabilities who will be living together with the same comfort and dignity as a functioning family. People living in our home will enjoy a similar lifestyle to the one that you or our staff enjoy in our own homes. Our trained and experienced staff will be a part of the family structure and ensure that day to day living activities are carried out with love care and understanding. All bedrooms are designed and furnished to reflect hobbies and preferences of individual residents. Family members will not feel as if they are living in a restricted institution such as a nursing home and will be treated with respect and afforded with the privacy they need to operate as all families should. Gradually integrating our residents into the surrounding neighborhood will also be a daily priority of our staff. To that end, we have been introduced to several neighbors who have offered and are excited to help welcome our residents into the neighborhood by incorporating them into local neighborhood events.

Our home is equipped with all the amenities needed to make our family members comfortable and happy. The home is equipped with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, a living room area, dining room and a sitting room. There is also an activities area for board games, reading, computers , watching TV or relaxing. In addition, there is a fenced in back yard complete with picnic tables and umbrellas. The beautiful tree-lined, friendly neighborhood is ideal for walking and has a small public park within close proximity. So far, our neighbors have been very friendly and receptive to having our residents in the community.

Planned Care Agency is Licensed and governed by the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) to operate a Group Home for residents with disabilities in the State of Florida. APD will diagnose, recognize and place residents into our home to foster a family atmosphere for them. In accordance with APD’s regulations, our Group Home shall be monitored on, at least, a monthly basis by APD employees to ensure compliance with established licensure standards.

Monthly surveys of each facility, either unannounced or announced, will be conducted in order to ensure the facility is in full compliance with the applicable requirements of Chapter 393, F.S. as well as any of the administrative rules adopted pursuant to Chapter 393, F.S. APD’s monitoring ensures that our home enhances the normalization and community integration of our residents and that our residents are protected from abuse and exploitation. Planned Care Agency is accredited by The Joint Commission, and licensed by the State of Florida through the Agency For Healthcare Administration (AHCA). In addition, we will operate and abide by all the guidelines set forth by any existing Home Owners’ Association or similar organization that governs the neighborhood. We will meet all City/County zoning, building, fire & safety requirements as well as all regulations and existing ordinances as it pertains to our residents.
