The Gardens of Port St. Lucie, managed by Five Star Senior Living, sits right in the heart of Port St. Lucie, Florida, and offers seniors a wide range of care and living options in a well-established, neighborhood-style campus with updated interiors. Residents find assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and respite care services, all backed by attentive, licensed staff and recognized with the 2023-2024 U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living award. The community has beautifully landscaped courtyards and gardens, and there's also a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing or joining group activities-things like arts and crafts, game and book clubs, yoga, gardening, and social gatherings, with devotional services held on-site for spiritual needs.
Apartments come in studio or semi-private layouts that are tastefully appointed, with easy access to activity and dining areas, and some homes welcome pets as part of the community. The grounds include patios, a gym, a movie theater, a beauty salon and barbershop, a dog park, computers, and even an indoor pool, with communal areas for sharing meals or watching TV. Trained staff give daily help with bathing, medication, diabetes management, and oxygen care, and skilled nursing staff offer round-the-clock support, physical therapist visits, on-site rehabilitation, and Alzheimer's care. The Gardens also provides hospice care, respite stays, continuing care retirement community (CCRC) services, outpatient rehab, and educational programs.
Residents eat meals prepared by on-site chefs, who focus on taste and nutrition, and have the option to dine together in restaurant-style settings or in more private rooms. Transportation comes complimentary for outings, appointments, and shopping trips. There's free WiFi, basic cable, laundry and housekeeping, and linen service. Security features, non-smoking rules in all private and public indoor spaces, and Fair Housing compliance make the environment safe and comfortable. Busy days at The Gardens include scheduled activities, visiting therapists, happy hours, movie nights, volunteer programs, and personal fitness training-all aimed at making life comfortable, supportive, and full of choice for adults 55 and over who want either a little independence or a lot of care, all in one place.
