Smallville

East Orlando's 32825 zip code, near the University of Central Florida and the Waterford Lakes shopping corridor, is a mostly residential area of Orange County where Smallville operates a licensed six-bed home on Brownwood Ave. Despite the name, it's an ordinary small assisted living residence rather than anything themed — six beds is simply the smallest category Florida licenses, meaning care is delivered inside a converted house by a small, steady staff rather than a commercial operation with departments. Families near UCF or Waterford Lakes considering this option should ask about proximity to the resident's existing doctors, since a small home this close to a major university area may still require some driving to reach specialists depending on where they're currently seen.
