Freedom Village of Bradenton sits on a quiet, 34-acre landscaped campus with water features and plenty of sunshine, where seniors can live in a range of homes from traditional apartments and garden flats to villa-style houses like Villa Monticello with its own garage, kitchen, sunroom, and master suite. The campus offers independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and skilled nursing all in one place, which means residents can move to different care areas as their needs change without needing to leave the community, and the different residences are accessible, with wheelchair ramps, air conditioning, private or shared baths, and WiFi throughout. There's a friendly team on site all day and night, with nurses, LPNs, and doctors available, and staff can give help with bathing, dressing, medication, or any daily needs, plus there's a system in the memory care wing to prevent wandering and keep residents safe, using technology like bracelets that set off an alarm if someone leaves the area.
Dining rooms like The Tuscany and The Grapevine have been redone recently, and each has high wood-beamed ceilings, fancy light fixtures, and tables set for group meals, with a chef overseeing restaurant-style food and options for special diets such as vegan or low salt, plus room service for those who prefer eating in their room. Residents can keep cats or dogs, and there's help for pet care if needed. The community has both indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing or meeting with friends, such as enclosed patios, a grand lobby with big couches under a chandelier, an indoor pool and jacuzzi with natural sunlight, benches by the water, and walking paths through green lawns.
Freedom Village of Bradenton also offers lots of activities-from brain fitness groups, art and yoga classes, to trips, gardening, wine tasting, and water aerobics-planned by a full-time activity director, and there are devotional services, lectures, caregiver support, documentary films, planning resources, and transportation options for medical appointments or outings. There's private parking, and guests can use restrooms in the main areas. Skilled nursing care and rehabilitation are available in the on-site Freedom Village Nursing Center for those who need extra help after illness or injury. Memory care sits in its own secured building, with staff and services aimed at comfort, reducing confusion, and stopping wandering in people with dementia, which is managed by a computer system that lets staff monitor anyone at risk.
The daily rates start at $376, with several accommodation options including studios, one-bedroom apartments, or shared rooms for different budgets and needs. The campus is known for its open, friendly atmosphere, won awards for dining and activities, and allowed residents to easily try new things and make friends. Reviewers have given the community high scores, and Life Care Services LLC operates the campus. Freedom Village is recognized as a continuing care retirement community, making it suitable for seniors who want all levels of support-from fully independent living to advanced medical care-as they age, in a place with amenities, supportive staff, and many ways to enjoy the days.
