The Eden Inn ALF

Fort Lauderdale, threaded with canals that earned it the nickname 'Venice of America,' extends well inland from its famous beach into ordinary residential neighborhoods like the one on Southwest 51st Street where The Eden Inn ALF operates an eight-bed home. Eight beds is still solidly in the small-home category, meaning residents share a house-like setting with a caregiving staff small enough to know each person's routine individually. Broward County has one of the densest concentrations of licensed assisted living homes in Florida, so families in this part of Fort Lauderdale typically have several nearby small homes to compare directly. Ask how the home handles outdoor time and mobility for residents, since yard and porch space vary a great deal between houses this size.
