Harbor Place at Port St. Lucie

Harbor Place at Port St. Lucie offers a mix of care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home services, home health care, and adult day services, and the community really does feel like a lively retirement neighborhood where people say they know each other and the atmosphere's friendly. There are several floor plans to look at, including studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private units, and every apartment's unfurnished so folks can bring their own things and decorate how they'd like, making it feel more like their own space. The community has both indoor and outdoor areas-there's a garden, library, heated pool, hot tub, and places to sit and walk, with a no-smoking rule inside the buildings but outdoor spots set aside for people who do smoke. Residents get three meals daily, served in a dining room or through room service if needed, and those who want to invite guests can get meal tickets or even reserve a private room for family gatherings and birthdays. The place offers daily programs with monthly calendars, so you'll often hear about activities, outings to parks, and even trips to nearby natural spots like Jensen Beach or the botanical gardens. Transportation's available for shopping, appointments, or just getting out for a bit, and there's help with laundry, housekeeping, and linens, all included. The staff's around all the time-24/7-for care or emergencies, and there are special programs for memory care and help for those needing support with health, fitness, and personal needs. Health care services include Medicare-certified home care, hospice, and long-term skilled nursing for people who need it, and there's also a beautician on site, so getting a haircut or something's easy enough. Visiting hours are flexible, with the front lobby open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., letting friends and family come as they wish. The Harbor Place community stays busy with social, fun, and educational activities, and it's designed for older adults who want a mix of support and independence in a place with a pleasant, home-like feeling and staff who keep an eye on well-being, all set up to make the day-to-day simpler and more comfortable.
