Our Butterfly Home is listed in Ruskin, Florida, as an assisted living community. One directory describes it as a small, six-bed setting with a choice of studio room layouts. The available information identifies assisted living as its care type. It does not specify whether the studios are private or shared, so the room details provide a general picture rather than a full description of each arrangement.

The profile also includes non-ambulatory care and wheelchair accessibility, as well as coordination with health care providers. English is listed as a language spoken by caregivers.

My mother moved into Our Butterfly Home in February. She is 96 and was having trouble living in a independent living facility during COVID and isolation. She needed to be stimulated and in a smaller setting. She wasn’t eating and her memory was getting worse. Our Butterfly Home, Caroline Blesson and her staff have helped my Mom live a fulfilling life. She is constantly busy with gardening, exercise, meeting the wonderful neighbors, creating flower arrangements and crafts. She is so content. Caroline has such a holistic approach with everything she does with the residents. Today I-even got a FaceTime call while Mom and Caroline were on a walk. Mom has gained some weight which she needed because of the wonderful food that is served. I am so thankful that Mom has quality of life. Thank you to Caroline, her family and staff

Our Butterfly Home garners well deserved praise in every category and assessment in Accreditation with full transparency for families in search of safe & healthy placement for a loved one. Caroline and her family opened its doors in Ruskin, Florida with mirrored business and life value Excellence. It is a retirement model set apart and engages your senses taking a tour from the first entrance into their warm yet simply elegant living space. The dining table nearby is decorated in season motif and ready for a welcomed guest. Caroline’s culinary creativity of color, presentation and aroma diversity captures many health benefits for its residents. Residents I enjoy planting seeds & caring for plants in the back garden while participatory entertainment is enjoyed by all with safe distancing. It is not just an experience but a lifestyle!
My mother moved into Our Butterfly Home a few months ago & couldn’t be happier. This place is a warm loving home that treats everyone like family.Caroline and her staff have done so much to improve my mom’s well being.
Caroline Blesson and Our Butterfly Home is the answer and the best home ever for your loved ones who needs special attention. All their professional knowledge & caring is freely given & enjoyed by their clients. No finer home of this type exists !!
The owner of Our Butterfly Home, Caroline Blesson, is a very compassionate , caring and loving individual and gives her all to her residents and staff. She's very professional with the sweetest personality. I've been at Our Butterfly Homes a year and have nothing but positive things to say. The food she prepares is awesome! Freshly prepared meals daily. Always fresh salads and fruits. Also 3:00 pm Tea Time! If you're looking for a place for your love one Our Butterfly Home is it.
Our mother did her research and wanted my siblings and I to check out Our Butterfly Home. She loves to garden, loves nature and will only eat fresh fruit, vegetables and other nutritious food. When we visited Our Butterfly Home and talked to Caroline and her husband, Blesson, we knew OBH was the place for mom. I even showed up there unexpectedly one day to find out if what I saw was for real. It was and more. Mom had a stroke in October and moved into Our Butterfly Home on December 1st. Caroline has created an assisted living facility that's like a loving family home. Her passion and love shines through everything she does. She cooks fresh nutritious meals and incorporates her knowledge of the healing properties of spices in her dishes. She leads meditation and exercise sessions each day. Our mom is getting stronger. Caroline keeps her "family" active with walks outside and outings. Games, cards, puzzles, crafts and computer activities help her "family members" have fun and keep their brains sharp. Our mom enjoys 3:00 tea time. She's looking forward to planting her flower garden. She's happy. She's smiling again. We have our old mom back. Thank you Caroline. You're an Angel.
