How to Choose the Right Level of Care

Spring represents the start of new beginnings. Leaves bud on trees, flowers sprout to the sky, and birds chirp their beautiful songs again. It’s the perfect time to reconnect with what brings you joy and make the move to a place where you’ll be happy for seasons to come.

Located in sunny Florida’s retirement community The Villages®, Sumter Senior Living is where you can live your best life. With Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Respite Stays, Sumter Senior Living provides you with plenty of friends, activities, and exceptional care. A place where you belong—that’s home, sweet home.

Independent Living
Selecting the right level of care can feel overwhelming, but Sumter Senior Living makes it easy. Choose from multiple levels of care in one community. The first level, Independent Living, takes care of all the home maintenance and chores so you’re free to pursue new passions. It’s the ticket to your healthiest, happiest life.

Enjoy all-inclusive, restaurant-quality dining, weekly social gatherings, and activities catered to your personal interests, with the freedom to come and go anytime. And when you feel like venturing into the larger community, you’ll have transportation to everything you’re accustomed to doing—like enjoying Sunday brunch after church with friends.

You’ll also enjoy full access to The Villages amenities as a resident of Sumter Senior Living. The Villages is a group of retirement neighborhoods in the heart of Florida that offers plenty of fun activities. Hit a hole-in-one at the picturesque golf course, challenge a friend to a tennis match, or blaze new trails surrounded by gorgeous nature. Independent Living is just the beginning.

Assisted Living
When you need an extra hand getting dressed, taking medication, or with any other daily activity, Assisted Living at Sumter Senior Living is here to help. According to Consumer Affairs, seven out of ten people require Assisted Living during their lifetime. It’s often the next step after Independent Living, and Sumter makes the transition easy.

It’s important to note that Assisted Living is different from a skilled nursing facility. Skilled nursing facilities, more commonly referred to as “nursing homes,” tend to provide a high level of care for those living with a long-term illness or who are severely debilitated.

On the other hand, Assisted Living offers more care and attention than Independent Living, but with the freedom to continue doing what you love with maximum independence.

From planned activities to spur-of-the-moment social events, fulfilling experiences are available throughout the day with 24/7 help at your fingertips at Sumter Senior Living. Welcome the morning with friends in the Walking Club. Toast to another day happily spent at happy hour. Or simply enjoy the Florida sunshine from your very own patio. More care gives each day more potential with Sumter’s Assisted Living.

Memory Care
The challenges presented by memory loss can be difficult to navigate, and it can be hard to know when it’s time to get help. Oftentimes, small changes in your loved one’s behavior can indicate they need additional assistance, such as forgetting the way home, keeping expired food, and having unopened mail. When it’s time to make a move, Sumter Senior Living’s specially trained team is here to help.

Sumter’s innovative memory care approach, The Village Program®, has benefits for those in all stages of memory loss. Our residents participate in activities designed to help them feel safe and appreciated and reflect their former schedules, lifestyles, and interests. Through offering enriching experiences and establishing caring personal relationships, Sumter Senior Living helps residents find great sources of enjoyment and comfort together.

Give Our Lifestyle a Try with Respite
Respite stays, or short-term stays, provide the most authentic view of a community. Sumter Senior Living’s respite stays range from a few days to a few weeks and allow you to explore our community before making the move.

When you stay, you’ll enjoy everything that residents love, including delicious food, exciting activities, and pleasant company. Pamper yourself with a trip to the salon. Let loose and let go of all responsibilities. This is your time to shine—a vacation with purpose. Who knows? You may even choose to stay once you’ve seen all you’re missing.
