At Skycrest Place, LLC, We Do Group Home Care Differently — Here’s How!! 😎👍

Families want the truth about what a group home can offer, and the reality is this: the environment matters. The leadership matters. Consistency matters. At Skycrest Place, LLC, we operate two APD-approved group homes in Clearwater, Florida — Skycrest Place and Stardust — built around one principle: create homes where residents don’t just live, but live well.

Both homes are designed for individuals with developmental disabilities who benefit from structure, stability, and a team that genuinely pays attention. That means predictable routines, professional support, and a home atmosphere that feels real — not institutional, not impersonal.

Skycrest Place is centered around calm, steady support. Residents experience a tight day-to-day structure, clear routines, and a setting that encourages independence at each person’s pace. We focus on building practical life skills, confidence, and habits that move residents forward. Families appreciate that it’s a quiet, focused home without chaos or turnover. Everything is intentional.

Stardust has a slightly different energy — still structured and professional, but with more emphasis on social engagement, interaction, and building community. Residents are encouraged to participate in activities, cooking sessions, small group outings, and the kind of day-to-day experiences that build connection and resilience. The home is designed for residents who thrive in a warm, social environment where staff are hands-on and involved.

Both homes share the core features that set Skycrest Place, LLC apart:

• Consistent, trained, long-term staff.
No revolving door. Residents see the same faces daily, which reduces anxiety and increases trust.

• Strong communication with families.
We don’t leave families guessing. You’ll always know what’s happening, how your loved one is doing, and what’s next.

• Safety and compliance without compromise.
We follow APD standards precisely. Policies, documentation, medication management, and care plans are handled professionally. Families can rely on the fact that everything is done correctly.

• A real home atmosphere.
Meals made in the kitchen. Social time in the living room. Backyard activities in Florida sunshine. It feels like a home because it is one.

• Individual-centered planning.
Each resident has their own goals — not a generic template. We adjust support based on the person, not the paperwork.

Families transitioning a loved one into a group home often go through uncertainty and emotional weight. That’s normal. What matters is choosing a home where your loved one will be safe, supported, understood, and steadily improving. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to every day.

If you’re exploring APD group home placement in Clearwater and want straightforward answers, real transparency, and a team that treats residents with dignity and respect, Skycrest Place, LLC is ready to talk. We offer tours, placement guidance, and clear explanations of how APD funding works and what families can expect.

Your loved one deserves a home built for their success. That’s what Skycrest Place and Stardust deliver.
