The Lenox At Merritt Island sits in Merritt Island, Florida and offers apartments in a community for seniors who want different levels of support. The building has four levels, an accessible entrance, and includes apartments with one or two bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, and floor plans from 610 to 1,015 square feet, with private bathrooms and features like kitchens, balconies or patios, ceiling fans, air conditioning, and cable TV. Some apartments are pet-friendly for both cats and dogs, and there's a dog-walking area outside, so people can bring their pets if they want, as long as they pay a deposit and monthly fee. The facility dates back to 1982 and can hold up to 156 residents, offering both independent living for those who are pretty active and other care options if someone's health changes.
Residents at The Lenox At Merritt Island can use assisted living services if they need help with things like bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, and there's also memory care for people living with dementia, with specialty programs and a secure environment for safety. For people who need more support, the community has skilled nursing care with 80 certified beds, providing medical care, wound care, and rehabilitation, including round-the-clock supervision and a 24-hour call system. Memory care features individual care plans and activities to help with memory, while social programs, games like poker and dominoes, happy hour, and community rooms help people meet each other and keep busy.
The place offers meals prepared for residents in a dedicated dining room, with options for special diets, plus regular housekeeping, laundry, and even concierge service, and there's a beautician on-site for hair care. Residents can use amenities like a heated pool, jacuzzi, fitness room, outdoor walking paths, game room, library, media room, arts and crafts areas, and daily exercise classes, and there's a spa room and community-sponsored activities, along with organized movie nights and pizza nights; people participate in devotional and faith-based events if they wish, and the staff speaks English. While ongoing remodeling might cause an occasional noise, the community keeps up with maintenance and tries to improve whenever possible. Security guards check in at night for resident safety, and there's an emergency alert system throughout the facility.
Transportation is available, as is on-site laundry and housekeeping, and each apartment has appliances like a dishwasher and refrigerator. Utilities may be included in rent, and the base price for some units starts at $1,375, with others listed at $1,575 and open for immediate move-in, and sometimes there's a special offer with no rent until August 1st if someone moves in now. The Lenox At Merritt Island lets residents live independently but gives them a chance to transition to more care if needed, all in a setting that looks to foster a sense of community, support, and friendly living, though some accessibility features like doors might need improvement for certain residents using wheelchairs.
The apartments, which also include options for studio and even three-bedroom units, have internet, Wi-Fi, and big closets, with shared social spaces like a business room and indoor and outdoor spaces where people can gather. Physical therapy services are available, and there are daily activities to stay engaged, both at home and in outings. Residents and families can tour the property online with a 3D view, and the staff helps with move-in coordination, providing a bit of ease in what can sometimes be a big transition. The Lenox At Merritt Island covers many levels of care, from independent apartments to nursing care and everything in between, with a commitment to comfort and safety for all its residents.
