The Goldton at Venice offers a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care in a supportive and friendly setting where residents find ways to thrive, and the place has a real community feel with options for private studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, many with patios or balconies, and everything's designed for seniors with wide doorways, walk-in showers with grab bars, mobility help, and even smart technology like Alexa in the rooms so you can check menus or ask for help with just your voice. You'll see folks enjoying meals in three chef-led restaurants or the Blu Ocean Bistro, and sometimes outside under the palm trees, since they have both indoor and outdoor dining with four venues in total plus a cafe for a coffee or snack, and the menus rotate monthly with special dietary choices and events, which does make life a little easier for people with different needs.
A big heated saltwater pool lets you swim, join H2O fitness classes, or just relax on the terrace, and beside that you get a putting green in the courtyard, gardens with water features, an arts and crafts studio, exercise and fitness classes like chair fitness, yoga, or aquatic therapy, plus group exercises and educational programs-there's bingo, trivia, card games, a theater to watch movies, and a bar for socializing or sports on TV, so nobody really gets bored and the days can be as full as you want them to be. The community also holds regular celebrations, cultural events, outings around town, gardening, pet therapy, and activities with visitors, including children, and residents get a say in which things go on the calendar, which is nice for making friends or finding a purpose.
For care, residents get help with dressing, bathing, grooming, medication, mobility, and other daily needs if required, with staff available around the clock for safety and support, and there are nurses on duty and therapy options like physical, occupational, or massage therapy on site, and the memory care wing offers 24-hour supervision from memory care-trained staff with special programs tailored for Alzheimer's or dementia. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, trash removal, maintenance, and bed-making's all handled by staff so you don't have to worry about those chores, and there are transportation services for medical appointments or shopping, personal concierge help any time, and a business center.
The apartments come with full kitchens, high ceilings, granite countertops, stainless appliances, washer/dryer hookups, cable TV, climate controls, and hurricane-impact windows, with layouts for every preference in assisted living, independent living, or memory care. Safety gets special attention with emergency response systems, building access controls, handrails throughout, monitored check-ins, and personal medical alert devices, plus everything's wheelchair friendly and you won't have to use a Hoyer lift for transfers.
Pets are allowed, there are pet care services and visiting pets sometimes, Wi-Fi covers the whole site, and people use the E-Brochure and Family Portal to keep everyone updated. They accept different ways to pay, including long-term care insurance, Medicaid, VA benefits, checks, and cards, so it's flexible for many families. The Goldton at Venice aims for a comfortable, safe, and lively environment where people find the right balance of independence, social connection, and reassurance, no matter what level of support they need.
