New Era Assisted Living sits in the Gibsonia neighborhood of Lakeland, Florida, at 815 W Daughtery Rd, and offers assisted living services in a single-story building licensed for up to 60 residents, where people can choose private or semi-private rooms with personal touches like kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and telephone access, and the rooms stay clean and bright thanks to regular housekeeping and laundry services, while the on-site staff, present 24 hours, help with daily cares like bathing, dressing, medication management, moving from bed to wheelchair, and even diabetic care, including insulin monitoring and incontinence support, and the staff also know the residents well, paying attention to their likes and dislikes, which helps create a familiar and family-like atmosphere, and there's special memory support for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a secure environment that uses pass-codes at doors and regular fire drills for safety, so those needing more support can stay safe and comfortable even as things get challenging.
Meals come fresh daily, and residents get three nutritious meals and snacks each day, and those who need special diets for things like diabetes or allergies have their needs met, and the dining is restaurant-style and available all day, which means there's no need to worry about missing a meal if someone's schedule runs late or something comes up, and for folks who need a break or whose families want a little help, respite care is available, as well as hospice support, with occasional physician visits twice a month to keep an eye on everyone's needs. There's always a staff member to respond to emergencies, and the building is set up to help everyone get around easily, with safety systems and alert buttons for peace of mind.
Residents stay busy with scheduled activities every day, including both onsite programs and organized trips to places like the mall, religious centers, or just around the garden, and there's always a chance to join group fitness, music, arts, devotional times, or games in the activity room and game room, plus there's a small theater and library for those quieter moments, and well-stocked garden paths with outdoor programs and walking space make it possible to catch some fresh air or enjoy nature, and pets are welcome, so animal companions can stay close. There's a spa, sauna, fitness room, and wellness room, which means some extra comfort if someone wants to unwind or stretch, and with a 24-hour call system and bi-weekly physician checks, health gets the attention it requires without feeling rushed.
Transportation for appointments or outings is scheduled, and help is available for those moving in, with the team supporting family members and coordinating care, and it's clear the staff focus on keeping things running smoothly, with safety cameras in place and regular drills to make sure everyone knows what to do in an emergency. Awards such as Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly show how people who live here and those who visit notice what's being done well, but it all feels pretty regular and down-to-earth compared to other places, with a focus on staying active, connected, and cared for in a clean, supportive neighborhood setting-whether that's through the simple sharing of meals, daily programs, or a quiet afternoon with a good book or a pet by your side. And with Medicaid Waiver support and different payment options, many folks can afford to make this their new home.
