Assisted Living Florida Communities and Independent Living – Senior Care Options in Florida

How do I know when my family member or loved one needs an assisted living Florida community?

What is assisted living or an assisted living community, and how does it compare to an independent living community? For seniors who need extra assistance with the activities of daily living, a service called assisted living can help. Our communities offer assisted-living facilities in Florida to support seniors with daily living tasks such as:

• Assistance with bathing or showering, dressing, getting in and out of bed or a chair, eating, walking or using the bathroom
• Medication management for those who have difficulty organizing or remembering
• Assurance of nurses and nursing aides available to support when needed

They can also enjoy the benefits of living at a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, with a full continuum of care and priority access to supportive services like skilled nursing care, therapy and rehabilitation and pharmacy services.

Whether you’re looking for assisted living in St. Petersburg, an assisted-living facility in Jacksonville or a senior retirement community in Orlando, we can help you find the community that is right for you.
