Rita De Acacias ALF Corp

Orange County's east Orlando neighborhoods, away from the theme park corridor that most visitors associate with the area, are home to a large number of small residential care homes, and Rita De Acacias ALF Corp is one of them, licensed for six beds on Lima Place. A home this size operates out of what is essentially a single-family house, with a small staff who work directly with each resident rather than managing a large facility from an office. For families who want a parent to remain in a familiar-feeling residential setting rather than move into a larger building, this is the category to look at. Ask how the home structures meals and daily routines, since that varies more at this scale than in bigger communities.
