The community features distinctive neighborhoods and a variety of home styles, offering resort amenities and convenient services in a tropical setting. Residents enjoy comfortable living spaces along with a comprehensive range of wellness, recreational, social, and spiritual programs led by dedicated professionals. Lifecare options, including assisted living, skilled nursing care, and memory care, provide added peace of mind.

Dining experiences have received mixed reviews, with some visitors dissatisfied with service and food quality, particularly at certain restaurants on-site. However, others have found the community's overall dining experience enjoyable and commendable.

My father hospiced there. The staff was kind and gentle. Hats off to clergy. They were very comforting to him. Staff seemed happy. Facility was clean and beautiful. Grounds were beautiful. I even had a manatee pop its head up and snort at me. Staff was accommodating…I would enjoy working with a staff like them them.... read full comment
