Alto Tavares, managed by Allegro and also called Osprey Lodge, sits right on the banks of Lake Frances in Tavares, FL, which some folks know as "Seaplane City," and this five-story mid-rise building feels a lot like a big, warm Colorado lodge with plenty of rustic touches and a cozy retreat atmosphere. The place has scenic lake views, and there's a second-floor balcony where you can sit outside, a terrace that looks right over the water, plus a grand lounge for relaxing or visiting. They've got one-bedroom apartments, a dining room where the staff serves chef-prepared meals restaurant-style, and there are extras like a library, pool table, general store, and even a veterans memorial on the property.
The community offers several living options including independent living for folks who are active and just want a friendly, vibrant social environment, as well as assisted living for people who need some help with day-to-day activities like bathing, dressing, or remembering medicine, plus memory care designed for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia-this area is called Ensemble Memory Care, and it's set up to help reduce confusion and make sure residents are safe. Alto Tavares is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so residents can move between independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even skilled nursing care if more help becomes needed, and there are options for home care, hospice care, respite stays, and on-site rehabilitation. The care team, which includes on-site and on-call nurses, helps with daily needs, and the facility is licensed for more advanced medical support when necessary.
Residents can bring their pets, and there's a big focus on connecting with others through activities, socialization, and volunteer fun, with things like art classes, aquatic fitness sessions, wellness courses, pop-up art galleries, and off-site excursions to enjoy. There are person-centered programs called Signature Programming and a variety of community events. Daily services help residents get to appointments or go shopping, and the setting is tailored so people can still enjoy comfort, warmth, and support in a safe, scenic place.
