Grand Living at Citrus Hills sits on 850 W Norvell Bryant Hwy in Hernando, FL, surrounded by lakes and Florida's rolling hills, and it goes by the idea of Living Gracefully, which means folks are encouraged to age in a way that brings comfort and dignity and, truth be told, there's quite a bit to look at here. Managed by Grace Management, Inc., which has over forty years of experience, the place supports independent living, assisted living, memory care, and offers Graceful Respite Stays, so those needing extra help for a short while can stay too. There are several living options, such as studios and two-bedroom retreats known as Signature Suites, and folks have access to a full continuum of care with staff providing 12-16 hour nursing supervision, medication management, and support with things like bathing and dressing, and they even have programs for diabetes and mild cognitive concerns. The building is licensed by the state of Florida to serve up to 200 people (License #13042), and for veterans who qualify, there are benefit programs to help.
The grounds are built for quiet walks thanks to landscaped paths, a community garden, and spots to relax, including an outdoor swimming pool and a spa, and for those drawn to social activities, there's always something on the calendar-community events, movie nights, music, or just gathering in the grand lounge or private dining room. The Vibrant Living Program makes it easier for residents to stay active and engaged, offering health and wellness programs, fitness classes in the exercise studio, and time in the Grand Spa and Fitness Center for a bit of relaxation. When it comes to meals, the Graceful Dining™ program features chef-prepared food in restaurants and bistros scattered across the community. Spiritual needs are met in the onsite chapel, and folks can find books in the library or catch a show in the theater if they'd rather stay in.
What sets the place apart, though, are the small touches such as personalized care, services like the Graceful Respite Stays-useful for recovery or when caregivers are away-and the health and wellness spa, all under the oversight of a team used to caring for seniors. For those requiring dementia or memory care, there are secured areas and specialized programs. Community reviews and recognition suggest that families appreciate what's offered, and being a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Grand Living at Citrus Hills means a person may move between independent, assisted, and memory care levels as their needs change, without leaving the place they know. No facility is perfect, but this community stands out for its range of options, the calm setting, and programs designed with seniors in mind.
