About Vitality Living Lake Forest

An ornate fountain and manicured grounds greet new arrivals at Vitality Living Lake Forest. This pet-friendly community offers assisted living and memory care inside a welcoming atmosphere. Residents can take advantage of the large entertainment space — complete with a dance floor and a grand piano — or enjoy the gardens and walking paths outside. Residents are encouraged to participate in activities designed to focus on a Vibrant Body, Vibrant Brain, and Vibrant Connection through the community’s Vivid Life Program. Assisted living residents receive discreet and respectful assistance from caregivers to maintain their independence. An on-call nurse is available 24 hours a day for additional peace of mind. Memory care residents work with specially trained caregivers who provide a community setting where all residents can find a sense of belonging. The community’s purposeful activities and person-centered care enable residents to live as autonomously as possible. Vitality Living Lake Forest is just an hour away from the Canaveral National Seashore, with convenient access to the Sanford Riverwalk at Lake Monroe. The Sanford Museum provides residents with information about the area’s history, along with archives for research. Restaurants and shops are also conveniently located just minutes away.

[name removed] was wonderful and spreads her sunshine and laugh with all. [name removed] also was very caring and made it possible for mom to go from rehab to respite in 2 days. Mom is having a trial run and we hope she will want to stay. Everyone is very welcoming and the facility is spotless. As we all would want, she wants to stay in her home but she is not safe and needs more interaction with people. I so hope she stays there.

Skip this one, its just lipstick on a pig

This facility was clean, but there was nothing particularly impressive about it. Unfortunately, our overall experience was very disappointing, especially in memory care. The staff in memory care often seemed overwhelmed and stressed, and simple requests felt like a burden to them. My grandmother’s needs were rarely met, and when I tried to communicate my concerns and dissatisfaction, I felt completely dismissed afterward. One of the biggest disappointments was the lack of meaningful activities. Esther often had t

Vitality Living is a lovely facility. I will be using it for respite care in their memory care floor. That floor is just as lovely as all the others. Today we popped in for the assessment which was during lunch. It smelled devine and looked delicious. I’m confident my mom will enjoy her stay.

I would like to thank[Name removed] for the professional and welcoming tour of the MC at Vitality. We were particularly impressed with the overall cleanliness and well-organized environment. Residents we observed were happy and the place had a homely feel. While I have returned to work in New York, my family and I still have a critical decision to make regarding my mother's care. We will keep you informed as we move forward. Thank you Andr'e

It was an informative tour. Very knowledgeable. Was a little set back on not knowing the rooms need to be furnished by the family that never was brought up.
