Lake Ridge Village

Lake Ridge Village sits on five wooded acres in Eustis, Florida and provides independent living for older adults who want a comfortable, easy lifestyle without the worry of home maintenance. The community is single-story and has welcoming, cozy furnishings, tasteful decor, and large spaces with plenty of natural light. Residents have several floor plans to choose from, and the apartments offer kitchens or kitchenettes, white appliances, oak cabinets, climate control, safety rails, decorative mirrors, and convenient eat-in dining areas. Living rooms have loveseats, recliners, and sliding glass doors that open to screened porches. Outside, you'll find scenic garden paths, shaded patios, and well-kept landscaping with flowers, bushes, and mature trees for quiet walks or visits with friends.

Activities fill the days, with live music, art classes, seasonal festivals, games like Bingo, pet therapy, prayer groups, and daily scheduled events aimed at keeping everyone engaged and connected. The community calendar is full and encourages friendships among residents. Staff are accessible and caring, helping with daily needs while letting everyone do as much as they're able on their own. Lake Ridge Village also welcomes pets, including dogs and cats, so residents can bring their animal companions.

The facility offers several common spaces like a library, a computer room, an activity room, and inviting indoor and outdoor seating areas with WiFi. There's a swimming pool, a fitness center with exercise equipment, and a beauty salon for haircuts and salon services. Residents enjoy daily chef-prepared meals in a restaurant-style dining room and can invite friends or relatives to join them for meals. There's a chapel for devotional services, and a piano in the common area for entertainment and music. The site is age-restricted, assuring the community feels quiet and safe.

Residents can use laundry rooms, get weekly housekeeping and linen changes, and take advantage of maintenance services for their homes-all included in the monthly fee, which also covers cable and utilities. Transportation is provided for trips to shops, medical appointments, and places like Mount Dora or Lake Eustis. On-site parking, covered parking options, guest parking, and locked mailboxes are available. Veterans Affairs aid assistance is accepted.

Lake Ridge Village features an award-winning senior volunteer program and provides educational programming, including dementia awareness through a podcast called "The Disappearing Mind," which covers topics from early signs to living well with dementia. Seniors can explore wellness content, healthy meal ideas, and resources for housing choices or supporting senior parents.

While the building shows its age, the grounds and interiors are kept up, and residents benefit from a care quality assurance program and safety measures throughout. The community doesn't provide health care itself, but home health care can come in when needed. There are wheelchair accessible showers, no smoking areas indoors and outdoors, and apartments for both men and women. Residents can take part in an exclusive travel program to visit other Provincial Senior Living communities across North America. The focus at Lake Ridge Village remains simple: to make daily life easy, safe, and dignified, while keeping residents as active and independent as possible. The setting is relaxed and friendly, with staff on hand and a real sense of community for those looking to enjoy retirement with fewer worries.
