Kinneret is an apartment community at 515 Delaney Ave in the Lake Cherokee neighborhood of Downtown Orlando, and while you're not going to find a big list of fancy amenities like pools or planned outdoor events, what stands out is how Kinneret focuses on serving both rich and poor seniors with real care and attention, because they've made a point since 1970 to help meet the needs of the Jewish community, although people from any background do live there. The organization behind Kinneret is nonprofit, has ties with the Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando, and works on keeping Jewish identity and traditions alive for those who want that, with many supportive programs including social activities, religious and educational events, group exercise, nutrition services, shopping help, and community transportation, which are especially helpful for those who no longer drive.
The facility has over 250 apartments, and though exact floorplan sizes, parking rules, or policies aren't detailed in the materials, every unit comes with air conditioning, a refrigerator, cable TV readiness, energy-efficient appliances, and high-speed internet access, and all residents may use the on-site dining room, beauty shop, grocery store, computer lab, exercise room, laundry, and library. There's a TTY service (711) for those with hearing needs, and select apartments are ADA accessible. Kinneret is pet-friendly and allows residents to bring pets. There's a resident portal where folks can handle leases and rent, which can be helpful for families. The community offers scheduled activities and personal support with help for daily needs, and tailored care plans for health issues, but the details of those care types aren't laid out specifically, just that they exist and aim to match personal needs. A clubhouse and courtyard give residents places to connect and get some air, and the staff is there around the clock. They've also got meal services for those who want them. Photos of the renovated apartments are available on the resident portal. Rental terms and fees aren't listed, nor are all the building's interior and exterior specifics, but what comes through is that Kinneret gives affordable senior apartments with independent living, some special care programs, and a commitment to supporting seniors in a safe and caring place, with a real sense of community.
