Moosehaven

Moosehaven stands on a 63-acre campus by the St. Johns River in Orange Park, Florida, serving members of The Moose since 1922, and folks will find a peaceful community designed for adults 65 and older who want different care levels as they age, with unique programs and names for different services like the City of Contentment, Moose Life, and New Life programs, which help residents stay in their homes longer and offer both independent living and memory care options, plus a nursing home for those needing more support. Residents can choose from several one-bedroom apartment floorplans, and accommodations may have full kitchens under the New Life program, and there's always support for bringing along pets, which makes things feel homier, and the campus includes dining areas, a community cafe with meal delivery, as well as flexible options for eating, so folks can pick what works for them, and you'll see recreational areas, outdoor spaces, and places just to sit and talk or join in an organized social gathering or cultural event. Moosehaven's staff-including doctors, therapists, and specialists-offer healthcare, along with memory care and psychiatric or counseling services, with vaccinations like Covid and flu shots given onsite, and emergency plans kept up to date by an annual review so residents feel safe, plus transportation to medical appointments and trips for groceries gets arranged several times a week, which means people stay connected and active without needing to drive. Staff training stays specialized for each role, and professionals like the director of human resources Cristina Seaton, director of facilities Paul Hamilton, director of resident services LeeAnn Robbins, director of communications Marina Mathews, director of health care operations Bill Tippins, and executive director Helen Taylor, all keep things running smoothly, making sure communication goes through the resident services department or on-staff social worker so complaints and issues get attention. People moving in get help with personalized transition services, and current residents can use short-term or respite stays at daily rates if they need a temporary solution. The community's Moose Life program has no waitlist, so seniors can age in place, while safety gets top priority with community-wide security features and a well-reviewed emergency plan. Moosehaven offers a mix of activities-recreational, cultural, social-and has services that range from adult day programs to full residential and healthcare support, all with an eye on keeping everyone comfortable and engaged in a setting rich in history, with regular opportunities for connections, support, and everyday well-being, so those looking for retirement can find several flexible options, whether in the Traditional Program, Brandon Place Program, or something else that fits their changing needs over time.
