Tomoka Heights

Tomoka Heights sits in Lake Placid, Florida and is a gated 55 plus community with about 460 homes, where attached homes range from 1,000 to 2,400 square feet and single-family homes go from 1,700 to 3,000 square feet, and folks live in single-level layouts with things like granite countertops, hardwood cabinets, and private patios or porches, plus two-car garages for easy entry, and the community has its own Home Owners Association, called Tomoka Heights Owners Association, Inc., with HOA dues, which helps keep everything running smoothly. You'll find a wide mix of care and support options, with assisted living if you need help with daily tasks, memory care for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing for more medical needs, respite care for short stays, and independent living for those who just want a good and active lifestyle with extra support available if things change, because they offer help like medication management, meals, bathing, dressing, transfers, and round-the-clock supervision, all in a secure setting, plus they have a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Special features make things easier and more enjoyable-like private and shared rooms with modern touches such as high-speed internet, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and emergency alert systems, along with housekeeping, laundry, and concierge services, and when folks move in, there's support to help get settled. The community wraps around Lake Henry, so residents have direct access to a pavilion, boat ramp, RV parking area, and fishing dock, and there are walking and biking trails winding through the neighborhood if you want to enjoy the outdoors. Activities fill the calendar, with clubs and gatherings in the clubhouse, Saturday morning breakfasts, park parties, potluck dinners, and games like poker, pinochle, pickleball, bowling, bocce ball, and bunco, as well as holiday parties for everyone to join, and those who want to stay active can use tennis, bocce, and shuffleboard courts, along with a fitness center, swimming pool, spa, hot tub, sauna, and wellness room, plus there's a separate arts room, library, garden, and game room, while the movie theater, planned social events, and music programs give everyone plenty to do. The dining room offers meals prepared by a professional chef, with restaurant-style service, all-day dining, and choices for those with allergies or special diets. The setting stays calm and safe, with staff available for help, scheduled transportation for doctor's visits or outings, parking, dry cleaning, and mail services, so people know they're cared for in all ways, and the trademark for Tomoka Heights has a male mallard taking flight right between the words "Tomoka Heights," which folks might see on their newsletters or community website. You'll always find a strong sense of neighborly connection, plenty of chances to get involved, and comfortable accommodations for most care needs, with health care and support that can grow with you, all in the peaceful surroundings of Lake Placid, far from the rush but close to what matters.
