HOW THE FAMILY APPROACH IN ASSISTED LIVING OFFERS PEACE OF MIND AND SUPPORT

At Starling at Ponte Vedra, we embrace a familial approach to caregiving, offering unparalleled comfort and support that residents and their families deeply value.

Our dedication to fostering a secure and nurturing atmosphere is reflected in our experienced staff who are devoted to delivering exceptional care.

Our family-centric approach ensures a sense of security and tranquility for residents, as they are confident that their needs are met with empathy and dignity. It’s akin to the special care one would give their mother on her birthday— this is the level of attention and consideration we extend to all.

This philosophy permeates every aspect of life at Starling. We wholeheartedly nurture a welcoming environment that extends beyond our residents to include our dedicated staff and visitors. Our commitment is to foster a supportive and understanding atmosphere where everyone can flourish in a caring, home-like setting. Our staff, treated as family, form lasting bonds with residents and their families, creating a unique and unparalleled community in private care living. We invite you to meet our devoted team and experience the familial warmth that defines Starling at Ponte Vedra.

At Starling, “family approach” means creating a familiar and comfortable space for our residents. We pride ourselves on knowing each resident personally and maintaining a team of familiar, caring faces available at all times. Our social activities are designed to foster friendships and a sense of community, ensuring that residents not only live together but care for each other in a compassionate environment.

We believe in a personal connection that goes beyond digital records. Our hands-on approach allows us to understand each resident’s unique behaviors, habits, and needs. We prioritize safety, health, and open communication, adhering to a proactive “see something, say something” policy. We don’t wait for concerns to be raised; we actively engage with residents and communicate with families and staff to keep everyone informed about health and well-being.

At Starling, we cherish family involvement in our holiday celebrations and daily life. We encourage family members to visit and participate in our vibrant social scene. Our private dining room is perfect for hosting family events, from birthdays to casual gatherings. We believe that a visit to Starling is a visit home, and we welcome family members to join us frequently and wholeheartedly. For those interested in the role of family in long-term care, we recommend exploring research on the topic, such as the study by Joseph E. Gaugler, Ph.D., available on the National Library of Medicine website.
