“My father was not looking forward to assisted living. He was pleasantly surprised at how much he is enjoying being taken care. The dining room and food is great. Staff is very friendly and the Executive Director made the transition easy for him.”
“Drea in the memory care unit is a wonderful care-giver. She is kind, friendly, helpful, caring, funny, smart and outgoing. She is wonderful to work with and really cares for those of us in memory care, both the residents and their loved ones. She deserves a big pat on the back and an applause !”

How families pay for memory care in Florida
In Florida, as elsewhere, most families start by paying privately for assisted living, memory care or independent living, often drawing on savings, retirement income and, in many cases, the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse purchased a policy years earlier, can also help cover these costs, though the specifics of what's covered vary by policy. Veterans and surviving spouses who meet eligibility requirements may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care.
