Lighthouse Assisted Living Facilities of North Florida sits on Collins Ridge Blvd in Jacksonville, FL, and folks find it has a home-like setting that's quite different from most nursing homes, with small shared neighborhood homes where seniors get help with grooming, dressing, walking, and reminders for medications, and while it's a secure and safe place, people come and go for medical appointments or group activities, and they allow pets, which makes it feel less lonely for some folks. The place helps with most daily needs-bathing, dressing, eating, medication management, even catheter, colostomy, diabetes, and incontinence care, plus there's housekeeping and laundry, and fresh homemade meals are served each day. For people who need more care, Lighthouse brings in doctors for house calls, nurses for more serious needs, and therapists for physical, speech, and occupational needs, and if things get tough, they handle hospice and respite care too, so families get a little relief. The staff pays close attention to each person's needs, working with memory care specialists for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they've shaped the grounds to prevent wandering while still giving space for safe walks and relaxation.
The community creates an active and social environment with daily activities, outdoor patios, shared rooms for socializing, and off-site trips, and they include devotional services on the activity calendar so folks who want to gather for prayer or reflection can do so in a group. There are amenities like a beauty and barber shop, a gym, spas, and even yoga classes for those who want to stay active, and if someone likes having their hair done or joining a gentle exercise, they won't have to leave the grounds. Residents can bring their pets, and there's animal hospitals and veterinarians nearby, along with hospitals, pharmacies, dental care, and specialists like cardiologists and oncologists, so you don't have to worry about getting to an appointment or finding help close by. The surroundings are set up so people with various health and care needs, whether you're pretty independent or need more medical help, can stay as long as they like.
Lighthouse has shared and private bedrooms, and smoking is allowed in certain areas, which sets them apart a bit, and transportation is offered free if someone needs to visit the doctor or wants to attend a group activity off-site. Folks can expect nutritious meals made with care, regular housekeeping, help with personal care, and all the usual chores taken care of, so people can focus on social events, group activities, and maybe a walk outside on a nice day. The facility offers advice and support to families trying to figure out what's right without pushing decisions, using verified reviews and business responses to keep everything as straightforward as possible, and a team of senior living advisors helps families sort out their options with a service that's free to use, making things a little less stressful when choosing the right home for a loved one. Lighthouse Assisted Living Facilities of North Florida accepts private/self-pay, cash, check, military, or VA benefits, and doesn't yet publish specific pricing.
