The Sanctuary Opens it's doors. The First Solar Powered Assisted Living Facility in the State of Florida

This Memory Care community is set in a residential setting which helps to lessen the anxiety of it's residents. The family model is re-created so that it reminds them of home. They still have a sense of community.

It is a community that has brought together 4 dynamic owners to create this facility:

Owner, Edith Bort arrived in the United States from Bolivia with the firm intention of fulfilling the "American dream." She is owner of the Bort's family of homes, three bilingual facilities.The Unique model of caregiving support for this Memory Community is provided by the owner/ administrators with combined experience of 20 years. They have cared for their own and assisted other families so they are uniquely qualified.

Owner, Marcia Miller is from Jamaica and opened her first home to serve the needs of her older aunt Dorothy. Today, that home, Serenity Adult Family Care Home provides a more person centered approach to care for their residents in a five bedroom community.

Owner, Debbie Miranda, assumed the caregiving role to her parents while holding a full time job. They were diagnosed with Parkinson's/Dementia and Diabetes. This required 24/7 care as caregiver/advocate. After they transitioned, she realized her God given passion was and is caring for seniors.

Owner, Pauline Rose-Blake's, mother became ill and was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She became her caregiver, and credits that time with teaching her an important lesson "Each day as her health deteriorated, I understood the importance of making the most of every moment. I learned the importance of laughter and compassion. "

One of the important components of this model that the Sanctuary has created is staffing consistency. Additionally the caregiving support for this Memory Community is provided by the owner/administrators with combined experience of 20 years. They have cared for their own and assisted other families so they are uniquely qualified.

Because care is provided by all 4 owners the consistency and routine of the same faces alleviates confusion and promotes safety.
