The Meadows At Cypress Gardens

The Meadows At Cypress Gardens opened in January 2014 as a limited liability company, and folks have called it a homey place, with both private suites and studios for seniors who need different kinds of care like assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and even options for short-term or in-home services like hospice and home health care if that ever becomes necessary down the road, and they've got a wing just for folks living with dementia, where the rooms feel more like bedrooms from one's own house, complete with beds, dressers, and closets that can hold plenty of familiar things. You get restaurant-style dining with three meals a day, and staff are there around the clock, including a part-time nurse, health aides, and a team that covers everything from housekeeping to maintenance and even food service, and Lois Mc Closkey runs things as the administrator, keeping things humming along. There's a strong sense of community with lots to do, like bingo, card games, checkers out in the garden, and regular trips to places like local shows or even the beach, while back at home you can walk the paths, sit on the water-facing patios under striped umbrellas, or spend time with birds and cats near Lake Dexter, because they've set up the outdoor space to feel open and full of life. Folks can use the beauty shop for hair styling, stop by a library or movie theater, or join in arts and crafts and exercise groups in the activity rooms, and if someone wants to bring furniture from home, that's perfectly fine, so living quarters feel personal. For health needs, they offer physical and occupational therapy, therapeutic massage, and licensed nursing anytime, and there's transportation for appointments or errands. Even though they don't have BBB accreditation, they keep in touch with the Central Florida office, and the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration watches over them with a license number 7713. Family members say the place feels welcoming, and folks can book a tour, maybe meet other residents, and see how the balance of care, engaging activities, and a safe, comfortable environment help people make the most of each day.
