Prestige Manor Assisted Living Facility Belleview sits on six acres in Belleview, Florida, and people say it feels like Ocala's best kept secret because the focus here is really on compassionate care, offering 35 rooms for seniors who want a secure and comfortable place to live, with fenced grounds, walking paths, a gazebo, and gardens that encourage residents to get some fresh air and enjoy nature whenever they want, and inside, the rooms come with WiFi, cable in common areas, spacious bathrooms, and options for ground floor and wheelchair accessible showers, all designed to keep people comfortable no matter their health needs, and the building itself is all on one level to help those with mobility aids move about more easily, and of course, the staff led by Carrol Dillion-Smith, who's been part of the community for 35 years, works under Kindcare Management, a small family-owned company that keeps a close eye on the service, making sure seniors get meals, cleaning, and laundry done for them every day so nobody worries about housework or chores.
The facility holds a state of Florida license (number 10889), offers assisted living, independent living, respite care, and memory care for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and can also give extra support for residents who need medication managed, diabetic or incontinence care, and non-ambulatory services for folks using wheelchairs or needing help with everyday things like bathing or getting dressed-there's a 24-hour supervision system and a call system in place so someone can always get help if needed, plus the whole place is gated with safety procedures, including COVID-19 protocols, to keep everyone as secure as possible.
Residents have access to three fresh, home-cooked meals each day with all-day dining options in a restaurant-style setting, as well as guest meals, special dining programs, and meals prepared for various diets like vegetarian, vegan, kosher, gluten-free, diabetic, or allergy-sensitive needs, and there's also room service, a private dining area, and snacks available so nobody feels left out if their appetite or diet changes from day to day. The laundry service includes both washing and folding, and folks can even get dry cleaning done if that's what they need.
People find the common spaces comfortable, with a social dining area, TV rooms, arts and crafts area, a barber and beauty salon, and organized events-things like movie nights, arts activities, board games, wellness programs with tai chi, yoga, or simple stretching, devotional services, musical performances, and community or resident-run gatherings all take place on a full calendar run by the activity director, so there's always a chance to see others or stay busy, though folks can spend time quietly in the gardens or take part in horticulture activities too, if that's what suits them.
Transportation is provided for trips to local medical appointments or community events, and parking is available for visitors, with 24/7 visiting hours so family and friends can stop by any time, and the facility accepts Medicaid and most insurance, as well as checks for payment, and families know up front about the entry fee and all-inclusive rent structure so there aren't many surprises. Prestige Manor also gives families a break with respite care when they need help caring for a loved one for a short time, and the staff aim to create a safe, happy, and caring place for everyone living there, making sure seniors feel they belong, with enough support to help them be as independent and comfortable as possible, and while the average review is 3.9 out of 8 ratings, many people mention feeling welcome and cared for, with staff paying attention to both emotional and physical well-being.
