Jennifer Gardens sits in Port Richey, Florida, not far from Tampa and the Gulf of Mexico, and this family-owned and operated community focuses on making residents feel comfortable and connected, with familiar furniture, gentle lighting, and home-like touches that keep everyone feeling settled. The community offers both assisted living and a memory care wing built in 2016, which follows guidance from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, so anyone needing help with Alzheimer's or similar challenges gets extra support with a peaceful environment, specialized programming, and staff who know how to help with memory care needs. Residents live in private or semi-private rooms, each with emergency call buttons and cable TV, and they have the choice to decorate spaces how they'd like to make them feel more like home, with single rooms giving privacy and dignity while shared community areas, like a TV room, arts room, outside patios, and groomed walking paths, provide places to gather or stay active with others.
Jennifer Gardens has a barber and beauty salon for regular haircuts and nail care, restaurant-style dining with meals made to meet dietary needs, and snacks available during the day, plus there are movie nights, resident-run activities, and a daily schedule meant to keep everyone socially engaged. There's a secure campus with twenty-four-hour video surveillance, emergency call systems, and quiet corners for anyone seeking time away, while outdoor areas-with shady trees and gardens-let residents enjoy peaceful moments or time with visitors safely. The building's design encourages both family and caregiver participation, supporting visits and active involvement without sacrificing a sense of calm or independence. Residents can access on-site doctor visits, pharmacy services, private companion care, hospice support, in-house podiatry, and home health care through outside providers, with medication management, laundry, housekeeping, and transportation to appointments handled for them. Staff offer help with daily activities as needed, always working to adapt care as residents' needs change. The community aims to keep everyone active, cared for, and as independent as possible, with spaces and routines built to support well-being for people living with dementia or anyone simply wanting a safe, friendly place to call home.
