United HomeCare® (UHC) is now looking beyond its quality-of-life solutions and care capabilities to the assisted living facility (ALF) arena, and recently celebrated the groundbreaking on its new facility – The Residences of United HomeCare. The groundbreaking coincides with UHC’s 40-year landmark anniversary of promoting health and wellness among its elderly clients and their caregivers.Featuring 122 spacious studios and one-bedroom private units, the four-story, 50,000-square-foot facility and grounds will be located on 2.6 acres of land neighboring the new West Kendall Baptist Hospital. The facility will be part of the planned Kendall Town Center complex. Completion of the senior community is slated for the fall of 2014.
“With our 40-year proven record of caring, UHC is ready to build a place where our elderly can feel great enjoying an upscale living environment and having access to the highest quality of care in a community setting,” said Jose Fox, president and CEO of United HomeCare. “Our goal is to transform senior living by offering our elderly, including those with moderate and insufficient means, accessibility to a quality residence. We want to demonstrate the feasibility of offering superior value in an ALF while remaining cost competitive and financially sustainable. Our approach will further our mission for pioneering advances in personalized, quality care to support independent living.”
The Residences of United HomeCare provides an exciting new option for a number of the nearly 5,000 Miami area residents currently served by United HomeCare, as well as prospective clients interested in assisted living solutions backed by exceptional care services. Residents will have access to a wide range of services such as, trained, licensed and certified professionals on premise, individualized care management, Tele-Health and 24/7 access to medical and nurse staff. The residents will be treated to restaurant-style dining and café. The facility will have a wellness-fitness center, library/technology center, beauty salon/barber shop, laundry and concierge. Additionally, the community is located to nearby hospitals, medical offices, a hotel, restaurants, entertainment and retail shopping.
