Sun Towers Retirement Community offers several living choices, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, and you'll find that they try to meet a wide range of needs as residents age so folks can stay in one place for a good long while if they want to. They've got studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some with screened lanais and private bathrooms, and there's a main dining room where staff serve three meals a day made to fit different diets, including a carving station for fresh meals, plus snacks like carrot cake at the snack bar, and everything seems set up to make things easier for both active seniors and those needing more help. The community layout features shared areas for socializing, like lounges with cozy chairs, round tables, and nice lighting, while the memory care wing even has a tavern-style space with wood paneling and soft lights to help residents feel comfortable. Sun Towers tries hard to support folks with memory problems, offering programs to help reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and there's a focus on helping with daily things such as medication, bathing, laundry, and meals.
The building is a mid-rise set in Sun City Center and has staff on-site all day, every day, and when storms roll in-or other emergencies happen-the place has back-up power and plans in place so residents stay safe and get care, with many staff sticking around for the duration. The apartments come with things like extra storage, emergency call systems, kitchenettes, walk-in closets, patios or balconies, and some have views, though the details about the finishes and accessibility are a bit unclear. You'll find computer areas, a residents lounge, library, fitness center, elevators, laundry rooms, a pool, covered parking, and internet throughout the building, though they don't go out of their way to show off any recreational extras like hot tubs or fancy gyms, and some features are listed as "other" so it's hard to know everything without looking first-hand, but there's plenty of focus on safety and basic comfort.
They put a lot of effort into making daily life simpler, with housekeeping, transportation to appointments or shops, and support services so folks can age in place, even if their care needs change. On top of that, there's skilled nursing, physical and occupational therapy, outpatient rehab, and home care for those who need it, and the medical staff can take care of a wide range of health needs right in the community, so residents don't have to move around for help unless it's essential. The place holds regular events, outings, and support groups, and you'll see activity calendars and a community brochure if you want to join in, with staff known for being friendly, helpful, and having a good relationship with long-time residents. Sun Towers follows protections for LGBTQ residents, including for gender identity and orientation, so all feel welcome. The facility opens its doors for tours and visits each day from 9 to 5, with a clean, well-lit, and modern look throughout, and they try to set up a peaceful, low-stress environment for everyone who lives there.
