DeLand, a suburb of Orlando, offers residents easy access to shopping centers and other conveniences to meet their daily needs while providing a wide variety of options for entertainment. The city is located near numerous nature areas, like Ocala National Forest and Rock Springs Run State Preserve, that provide countless ways to enjoy Central Florida’s subtropical climate and fascinating ecosystems.

In DeLand, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
