Somerset Assisted Living & Memory Care

Somerset Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in Tavares, Florida, right by Lake Saunders, which makes for a peaceful setting for people looking for support as they age, and you'll notice that the views and the calm gardens really do make you feel more at ease. The place welcomes both cats and dogs, so if someone has a pet they love, that won't be a problem. There are sixty assisted living units, with choices for shared apartments, small functional studios, or single bedrooms, and some rooms have bay windows or French doors which lets in extra light. Some rooms have been updated, and they're all pretty spacious, and you get air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and your own bathroom. The staff at Somerset are on-site all day and all night, and there are emergency call systems in rooms, so if anything comes up, help is right there. There's nursing care for half the day and supervision at all hours, plus support for people who need help moving around, like those who need transfers from beds to wheelchairs, or those dealing with stroke or multiple sclerosis. People dealing with dementia get specialized memory care, with a focus on reducing confusion and keeping residents safe. Diabetic support, incontinence care, spoon-feeding, dressing, and ambulation services are all available, and residents get help with meals, medication, bathing, and more. There's a staff dietitian to help with special dietary needs, and meals are made from fresh ingredients and served daily, so you don't have to worry about grocery shopping and cooking. You'll see a lot of community spaces like a game room, library, movie theater, arts room, fitness and wellness areas, spa/sauna, greenhouse, and walking paths, along with a shared kitchen and cafe for a change of pace when it comes to food or socializing. The bathrooms and walkways don't have stairs to climb and there's parking right at the front, making it easy for residents and their families to visit and get around, and the grounds stay well-kept and clean. Activities happen each day, with music, games, resident-led programs, devotional sessions, trips, and even podcasts, and there's always something happening for people to do together in the communal areas, or outside where they can enjoy the lake and gardens. Somerset is known for its welcoming, family-focused feel, the staff tend to be described as helpful and kind, and folks say it feels a lot like a second home when they move in. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, move-in help, and personal care are part of the services, along with extended congregate care and short or long-term stays, so people can come for as long as needed. Somerset Assisted Living & Memory Care is a family-owned community, licensed as Assisted Living Facility #7472, and has earned some recognition like Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star for their helpfulness and quality of care. They try to make each day a good one while giving seniors a comfortable, safe place to live with opportunities to stay active, social, and well-cared for.
