Pelican Landing Assisted Living & Memory Care — Local services in Sebastian

My mother in law was diagnosed with dementia several years ago. My father in law thought he could take care of her, and while we encouraged him to get help, even offering to research places for him, he stood fast on his decision to take care of her. Until he couldn't. This past year, we learned that he wasn't taking care of her, leaving her in her bed, for days on end, trying to feed her and bathe her, on his own, but with a bad back and knee issues, he stopped doing these things. He never asked for help. I tried, numerous times, to encourage him to talk to Linda, at Pelican Landing. Finally, after she "slipped" off the bed, he called us to help get her off the floor. We drove 2 hours, as fast as we could, running inside (I advocated for him to call 911 but he refused), we helped her off the floor and into her bed. This is when we found out the truth. He could not provide care for her, at all.

I contacted Linda, at Pelican Landing, and within a few days, I picked my mom's room, and had my father in law sign the papers. They assessed my mother in law, helped her to the hospital, and then arranged for her to move in directly from the hospital. All of this would not have happened if it wasn't for the help of James Brassard, Linda, and Latoya. James was on the phone with me every day, making sure I was comfortable with my mother's care and helped with the transition. I honestly have no idea what we would have done without him. James still keeps in touch, for updates, and he is always available, if we need him. The nursing staff is doing such a great job, too. It is wonderful to see her quality of life improve so much! Bless the entire staff at Pelican Landing. Truly, I feel they not only saved my mother in law, but they saved our entire family. Thank you all,...

Our parents moved to Pelican Landing in the fall of 2021. Daddy was in assisted living and Mum was in Memory Care. PL quickly became home to both of them. They saw each other daily, often sharing meals together. The staff, everyone from administration to front line staff, work extremely hard to make PL home for every resident. Daddy passed away in December 2022, following a brief illness. The staff went above and beyond in taking care of our entire family during that trying time. Since neither my siblings nor I live in Florida, after Daddy passed away we decided to move our mother closer to us. It was the right decision for my mother and for our family. The hardest part, however, was having to say goodbye to Pelican Landing. We shed a few tears and so did the staff. It's a shame we couldn't just pick up PL and move it to Atlanta. In just a little over two years, the staff had become part of our family too. We will forever be grateful to the loving care and support PL provided to my parents and to our...

In December of 2023 we made what we thought was the toughest decision we would have to make by putting both our parents and their dog in Assisted Living. 4 days ago it was determined that our 91 year old dad needed to go to memory care. Our mom is devastated as are we. James the Director has been very helpful with helping explain to us and mom the necessity of this move BUT Christine Resident Lifestyle Director has been our biggest blessing. She has been by my side the whole time. She helped me set up his bed, arranged to have dressers and his favorite chair moved. She is getting pictures and his TV hung also but most importantly to me is she has always responded to what I have questioned and needed, to include the hug and words of encouragement that it will be ok. Separating our parents who have been married for 68 years for my dad’s safety is now the hardest decision to date and I can’t imagine having to do it without the support of James, Christine and all of the staff at...
