Sandhill Gardens is a senior living community that covers a lot of needs for older adults, whether they're looking for independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and with 90 spacious rooms, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, folks can pick what fits them best, and the apartments come with things like an emergency call system in every room and bathroom, plus utilities are included except phone and cable, and housekeeping, linen, and laundry services come daily without needing to ask. Residents here get support from a 24-hour care staff that many have called helpful, joyful, kind, and friendly, and there's always someone on site for help with anything from bathing and dressing to medication management, monitoring, and transfers, and the staff is also trained to help with dementia, Alzheimer's, or memory care needs, including hospice and respite care for those who need it for a short time. The place isn't locked down, so people can come and go, but there are video surveillance cameras and an unguarded gate for safety, and the whole property is one floor, built in 2008, which makes it easier for wheelchairs and folks who don't get around so well. There's on-site property management and maintenance so things stay in good shape, and open outdoor parking is always around for those who still drive.
The community tries to feel like family, and the staff helps residents get to outside medical appointments, set up shopping trips, and go to faith-based activities or even local events and beaches, since Sandhill Gardens sits near shopping centers, Peace River, and Stone Crabs Stadium, so there's always something to do or somewhere to go. Inside, there are lots of spaces to be social or busy, like a hot tub, sauna, fitness room, an arts and crafts room, furnished lounges, game and activity rooms, a reading room, and a library, and for physical health, the gym is open and workout programs are organized along with daily planned activities, social nights, and movie entertainment. Music therapy, animal therapy, tabletop games, outdoor excursions, and plenty of arts and crafts pop up through the week, making it easy to stay involved or pick up something new, and there's a bistro, plus five-star plated dining with batch cooking, as well as food for allergies, heart health, vegetarian, mechanical or pureed needs, and diabetes, and some meals are served all day, so people don't have to stick to fixed times.
Personal care covers bathing, dressing, incontinence care, and help for those who use wheelchairs or need two-person assistance, while folks who want to enjoy their independence can lean on the supportive environment as needed, and things like daily housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are always a constant. Medical staff, visiting nurses, med-techs, and visiting physicians are around to keep an eye on health and medications, and the staff works with outside healthcare providers too. There's a barber and beauty shop, salon services, plus hairstylist and podiatrist visits, and there are also spaces for community plants, lounges, a garden, and outdoor walking paths, so fresh air and company aren't hard to find. Transportation gets coordinated for medical appointments, shopping, or social outings, and the community plans structured activities and recreational programs every day, including community-sponsored movie nights and faith-based excursions.
Pets are sometimes around, which makes some folks happy, and each apartment is handicap accessible, with emergency alert systems for peace of mind. Sandhill Gardens has won awards for best meals, best activities, and most friendly in senior living, and tours can show what daily life, dining, and activities look like, so people know what they're getting when they move in. The focus stays on nutritious meals, helpful personal care, and keeping a safe, friendly place where seniors can live at their own pace, and there are always options for more advanced or personal care if it becomes necessary. Sandhill Gardens follows fair housing rules and welcomes everyone equally.
