The Glades at ChampionsGate sits on a palm-tree-lined campus in ChampionsGate, Florida, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement services all in one place, which makes it easier for folks to stay put as needs change over time, and with three different neighborhoods, there are choices for people looking for a certain lifestyle or care level, whether that's independent living with maintenance-free apartments and scheduled activities, assisted living with help for daily tasks and medication, or memory care with a secure community built for folks living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, and the property has a total of 223 residences, breaking down into 114 for independent living, 73 for assisted living, and 36 memory care homes, so there's space for singles or couples, and available floor plans include studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and single room units-most with accessible features like walk-in showers, wheelchair access, full kitchens or kitchenettes, air conditioning, and fast Wi-Fi, plus some apartments are on the ground floor for easier access, and residents can bring pets up to 40 pounds, so dogs and cats are part of life here, though some restrictions do apply.
The staff helps with things like medication management, diabetic care, incontinence care, and non-ambulatory support, and there's licensed skilled nursing on site if someone needs more medical attention than regular assisted living provides, and there's also short-term or respite care, good for folks who only need help for a little while-or caregivers needing a break, and for memory care residents, the community is secure with enclosed courtyards and safe indoor and outdoor walking paths, so people can go outside but not wander off, and specialized programs like Valeo™ Memory Care and Vita! are focused on brain health, independence, and socializing.
The Glades runs on a wellness philosophy called Salus™, aiming for physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual health, which means daily life can have some structure with activity options like fitness classes, swimming in the heated outdoor pool, walks on landscaped grounds with shady sitting spots, and organized gardening groups, and inside, residents find arts and crafts, a book discussion club, a cooking club, and educational lectures, live music from the resident musical group, plus story time activities for those who enjoy it, and a recreation room, game nights, billiards lounge, movie theater area, and a club for quilting, sewing, walking, and men's gatherings, with special activities like animal therapy, art and music therapy, and chef demonstrations.
Dining is covered in several ways, through four different venues including restaurant-style dining, a café or bistro, private dining rooms, and a room service option, and menu options cover most dietary needs, such as low-sodium, sugar-free, vegan, vegetarian, and international foods, and there are special themed meals and even immersive travel nights with cuisine from different countries, and for pet lovers, Bow Wow Biscuit activities allow residents to bake treats for their own dogs.
Care services go beyond daily needs, since housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, haircuts, barber services, and spa visits are handled in-house, along with beautician services, and transportation options include complimentary and paid rides, resident and uncovered parking, so residents get to doctor's visits or offsite events with help, and the community is wheelchair accessible throughout, with high ceilings, big indoor areas with natural light, a central fireplace, and comfortable seating areas, and beyond that, amenities include a fitness gym, game room, TV lounge, library, outdoor patio, raised garden beds, salon, and main street shops.
The Glades accepts check payments, has an entry fee, and is a state-licensed facility, providing community planning resources and support for families and caregivers, with an emphasis on active, relaxed, and community-oriented living, offering in-house religious services along with special devotional activities on and off-site, so people of different backgrounds and languages-since they offer services in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, German, Hindi, and Japanese-can feel at home, and for those who use Facebook, there's even a login feature for convenience.
