Heritage Waterside Luxury Senior Living sits on the Halifax River in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, where residents can watch dolphins from the dock or sunsets from the patio, and it's got those Bette Davis Wellness Spa treatments right next to the Shirley Temple Ice Cream Parlor, which adds a little fun for everyone who lives there. The place has over 125 private apartments, including studios, cottages, one- and two-bedroom suites, penthouses with balconies, and the Lighthouse Cottage Memory Care Private Studio Suite, so people can pick from seven different floor plans, some with waterfront views and smart technology. Seniors there get personal support from a well-trained 24-hour wellness staff, medication reminders, licensed nurses, and a doctor on call, and the community helps folks with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and cleaning while trying to let everyone be as independent as they can.
There's a Rita Hayworth Memory Care wing with secure areas, monitored units, and games for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the staff makes personalized care plans for each memory care resident, plus the community offers in-home health care, pharmacy needs, companion care, hospice services, and psychiatric care. For those wanting an active retirement, there's independent living with low-maintenance homes, lots of social chances, and access to on-site rehabilitation therapies, plus folks can get around easily with transportation and shopping services or see the doctor with arranged trips. Heritage Waterside also welcomes people who need short-term or respite care, and they've got a full continuum of care, so residents don't have to move if their needs change.
Residents can join social and educational activities every day, both inside and outdoors, like gardening, golf, tabletop games, arts and crafts, music groups, fishing, walking groups, movies, weekly live music, and even Wii bowling, and families say the staff's attention to detail shows in the tidy halls and friendly feeling around the place. You'll hear about the themed 40's lifestyle rooms, special events in the Carey Grant Movie Theatre or Ginger Rogers Card Room, and see how the community hosts devotional services, Veteran's Affairs aid, pet therapy, and remembrance support. The restaurant serves nutritious meals, covering special diets such as diabetic, kosher, or vegetarian, and residents can dine together in a calm, waterfront setting.
Apartments include cable, phone, high-speed internet, and Wi-Fi in both private and common areas, and you'll find indoor spaces for group activities as well as computer rooms, an entertainment venue, beauty salon, barber shop, laundry and linen service, and housekeeping. Heritage Waterside lets residents bring pets, offers a private fishing dock, garden spaces, fire pit, and parking for both residents and guests-including options to have overnight visitors.

Managed with a focus on integrity, culture, and care, this community's led by professionals like Chief Operating Officer Corey Shenk, and they keep things running smoothly while always updating services and programs, including membership with the Heritage Club coming soon.
