Caribbean Assisted Living in Villas – is this a nursing home?

The Assisted Villas offer residential assisted living in the Caribbean, hosted in luxury oceanfront and beach villas within prestigious communities of the Dominican Republic North Coast.

Our concept adds certified caregivers for activities of daily living ( ADL ), a resident nurse, maid service, transportation,  chef services, salon services, fitness director, activities coordinator and concierge. This is an all-inclusive, resort-like living for elderly people, Caribbean style.

It is adapted to elderly people and disabled travelers so they can have barrier-free access and mobility. 24/7 emergency support is included, with access to medical services.

Are the Villas Private?

Yes, there are totally private villas for those that prefer to stay in their own private Caribbean home. Collective villas have no more than 4-8 care recipients, in private or shared bedroom ( see our plans ), which is a very low density that keeps a much cleaner, less crowded environment for the elderly.

A totally private villa becomes a free lodging option for the family of a given care recipient, as there are always additional bedrooms to use. Some very large villas can have space for 10-20 people, and those are really large luxury properties that carry higher costs. Our model for Caribbean assisted living makes it more affordable.

Level 1 care includes a full time nurse per every 4 residents, including night shift. Also access to the best geriatricians (for wellness check ); Driver, chef, activities coordinator, fitness/nutrition director, and supervisor.

A custom care package can be also provided under request, as we understand there are special cases that might require it depending on the condition of the resident (s).
