Assisted Living for Displaced Puerto Ricans
The crisis in Puerto Rico in the wake of the recent hurricanes is sending tens of thousands of displaced Puerto Ricans to Florida, accelerating what has been a steady move from the island to the mainland and has triggered wide-ranging effects on schools, jobs, and especially housing.
Over 1 million Puerto Ricans reside in Florida, and that number has been rising at the rate of about 1,000 families per month relocating from the island.
The passing of Hurricane Maria could potentially send 100,000 Puerto Ricans to Florida, and though it may seem like a small number in a state with over 20 million residents, the newest additions to Florida include a large number of elderly who need assisted living services.
We understand that the recent events in Puerto Rico have been traumatic for many, and we want to make the transition to Florida life as smooth as possible for your elderly loved ones. The staff here at Encore at Avalon Park is made up of people fluent in Spanish, making the transition easy for those who do not speak English.
With a local climate similar to that of Puerto Rico, and a caring staff by your loved one’s side, Encore at Avalon Park is truly a perfect option for your loved one. Our facility and vibrant community is committed to helping the residents of the assisted living complex maintain their sense of self and social health while looking after them physically and mentally.
