St. Augustine Plantation sits among tall oak trees and has a relaxed, warm feeling, with a welcoming covered entrance and a circular driveway where parking's easy, and you'll see rocking chairs lined up on the front porch and sunrooms with calming décor where people like to sit with peaceful views, and inside there are studio apartments and inviting bedrooms set up with beds, dressers, armchairs, and little dining tables, plus common spaces with cozy furniture, built-in bookshelves, flat-screen TVs, and fireplaces. There are different types of care here, with independent living for folks who don't need much help, assisted living for people who need help with bathing, dressing, or medications, and a memory care service in a secure, stately setting where staff knows how to keep seniors with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia safe from wandering and confusion, and there's even skilled nursing and continuing care options in the same community if health changes.
The place has experienced nurses and caregivers available seven days a week, around the clock, and it's operated by physicians who help set up care plans and checkups, and apartment options include accessible rooms with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, all equipped with emergency alert systems, while staff offer daily safety checks, weight and vitals monitoring (if a doctor asks for it), medication reminders, and ADL support like help with showers, grooming, toileting, and incontinence if needed. Everyone gets three nutritious, chef-prepared meals each day, served in a main dining room or private spaces for more intimate meals, and there's mealtime help or adaptive dining equipment when folks need a hand.
Housekeeping and linen service are done regularly, so the place stays very clean and safe, and staff handle laundry and residents to and from meals and activities. Residents join activities such as day trips, yoga, painting classes, and exercise groups, and can join social and cultural programs meant to keep people active and connected, and there's scheduled transportation for errands, appointments, and outings, with staff ready to help. For those who need a break or just a short stay, respite care is available, and there's support for outpatient, veteran, and home care services, plus medication reminders and companionship, helping folks to doctors' appointments, too. Management and staff focus on a simple, caring environment where health and safety come first, and they work closely with local hospice services for smooth transitions, aiming to make everyday life as easy and pleasant as possible.
Apartments start at $3,950, and before moving in, the care team does a health evaluation so everyone gets a plan designed for their needs, with constant monitoring and updates as things change, and there's always someone available in case of emergencies. The whole community feels like a small neighborhood, with a friendly staff and happy team always around, so residents feel cared for while enjoying as much independence as they want. St. Augustine Plantation is a licensed assisted living and memory care facility in Florida that balances supportive care with a maintenance-free, comfortable lifestyle, and with thoughtful touches all over the building, you'll notice it's built with seniors' needs, safety, and peace of mind in mind.
