Savannah Court of Leesburg sits at 1027 West Main Street in Leesburg, Florida and welcomes seniors starting at age 55 who want help with daily needs or who need more care as they age, and at this place you'll find friendly staff who are awake and on site 24 hours a day, with licensed nurses on call, and there's always someone ready to help in an emergency or with things like getting out of bed or to a wheelchair, and sometimes there's visiting nurses, doctors, therapists, as well as homecare services, too. Residents can choose from different types of apartments, like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, and many apartments have screened porches, which means there's a place to sit outside without worrying about bugs, and all the rooms and common areas are wheelchair accessible, so everyone can get around safely and easily. Savannah Court helps folks with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and makes sure meals are ready three times a day, plus snacks, with chefs who try to use good ingredients, and there's restaurant-style dining so everyone can eat together if they want, and the housekeeping staff keeps apartments and common areas neat.
There's a secured memory care section built for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and they use technology like wrist bracelets that sound an alarm if someone tries to wander off, so families know their loved ones are safe, and they can also accept residents who are at risk of eloping or who might have major behavior issues, and they support folks with bowel and bladder problems if they can manage some of it themselves, though insulin shots have to be handled by the residents or their families, because the staff can track diabetes and blood sugar but can't actually give the shots themselves. The facility offers non-ambulatory care, which means someone who needs help moving from bed to chair won't be left alone, and they handle a range of other health needs thanks to visiting podiatrists, dentists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, and on-site health services.
There's always something to do, because a full-time activity director organizes on-site activities and trips outside, with things like birthday parties, devotions, visits from therapy dogs, clowns, Hawaiian dancers, and outings to local spots, plus there are devotional services both in the building and offsite for those who want them. Residents who like to be social can gather in the indoor common spaces or use the beauty salon on site, and the pet policy allows both cats and dogs, so pets can come along. People who just need a short stay can use the respite care service, and there are independent living options for folks who don't need a lot of daily help but want some support.
Savannah Court of Leesburg supports aging in place, which means residents can stay as their needs change and get extra care when they need it. The place has earned awards like Best of Senior Living, Best Activities, and Most Friendly, and, while every place has its ups and downs, this community has tried to build an environment that's comfortable, safe, and social for seniors who need memory care, assisted living, or just some daily support.
