Citrus County Assisted Living/Nursing Homes

This week’s blog was inspired by a fellow golfing girlfriend, who spent some time at Grand Living to recuperate from her recent surgery.  She suggested I do a blog on the place… that place is amazing!

I  did have second thoughts about,  well maybe I should feature a couple of assisted living places, but after Googling , “assisted living” in Citrus County, I found 36 places!   I thought, for some reason,  Grand Living might just be something extra special. (links to all 36 included at end).

From the minute I walked in the door… no way did it remind me of any  places my mom had to stay when she was in nursing homes and assisted living places. When you walk to the front door, you feel you have entered a luxurious hotel lobby.  With a grand sitting area,  there is a little library off to the front, and of course, a welcome desk. There’s over 200,000 living square feet in the facility.  There are 181 residents and they have very few apartment vacancies at this point.  

Picture:

Three meals a day are provided even with kitchen appliances and washer and dryers included in the living apartments. Two dining areas are provided for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is served in a formal dining area.  A  private dining room is available for family gatherings. Residents choose their food restaurant-style from a menu.  Dinner includes  a nightly special. 

The activities include crafts/arts: ( ie watercolor, card making etc.); physical: daily water aerobics and a fitness center with a full time fitness director; entertainment: including pool parties, movies in the theater, live entertainment, special occasion parties and a daily Happy Hour. The September calendar showed 7 special events a day including games: mahjong, Rummikub, Bingo, Name That Tune, Scrabble, Penny Poker, Mexican Train, Show Me the Money, etc. ( i scanned half the September calendar it is so large.

Transportation is available for shopping, church services.  Church services and Bible Studies are held on site, as well as weekly Holy Communion.  

Apartments from Studio to 1-2 bedrooms are available. Priced monthly from $4700 a to over $7000.  The amenities include a weekly cleaning service,  a medical plan/assistance if needed. They do have a memory wing which we did not visit.  If needed, a medical is set up for this needing assistance. Pet friendly facility also. 

 I did get to see a one bedroom apartment ,and a studio apartment.  Both and were very tastefully decorated.  You can bring some of your own furniture . I have brochures from the facility if you would like to see them.  Check out their website.

If money is not an object,  and you like to

Keep busy… this is the place for you… whether you are healthy or needing assistance.
