When you are young, wild, and free thinking about a senior living community for yourself or even for your parents seems lightyears away. But here you are! You may not even know what type of senior living is available. There may be more options available to you than you realize. Understanding what to expect from senior living, assisted living, or memory care living is an important part of planning your future.
This article will explore types of senior living options to help you better understand what is available to you. We will explain their similarities and differences so you can make the best choice for yourself or your loved ones. Aging in place can be a wonderful gift. So, let’s explore Victoria Landing and the opportunities it offers.
Types of Senior Living Options
At Victoria Landing, we offer different levels of care to meet the varying needs of our residents. Let’s take a look at our excellent options.
#1
Independent Living
Victoria Living offers luxury retirement living. If you are 62 years of age or older, you can become a resident here! We offer private apartment living allowing you to retain all your independence without the hassle of upkeep for a house and yard. Additionally, we offer amazing amenities and three delicious meals a day prepared by our very own on-site chef. Senior living isn’t what it used to be…welcome to resort-style retirement! Floridians love going on cruises, and Victoria Landing is similar to a cruise (minus the ship!). We offer food, activities, a heated pool, and much more!
#2 Assisted Living
If you require a little assistance for your daily living tasks, Victoria Landing is still the right place for you! You will enjoy the same apartment living as our Independent Living residents. We are licensed through the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).

Our Boardwalk residents enjoy private apartments. For safety reasons, they do not include kitchenettes like our other apartments. But who needs a kitchenette with an on-site chef?

What Victoria Landing Is Not
Now that we have explained the three levels of living offered at Victoria Landing, all with wonderful amenities, activities, food, and fun, we want to briefly discuss what Victoria Landing is not. Victoria Landing is not a nursing home or skilled care facility. Nursing homes are designed for people who need long-term, 24-hour medical care. In addition to 24-hour care, they may also provide a range of therapies for patients. Skilled nursing facilities provide short-term rehabilitation and medical treatment for patients. Victoria Landing is a retirement community that offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care living – a true aging-in-place community.
Why Choose Victoria Landing?
Victoria Landing is a beautiful retirement community located in Melbourne, FL, on the shore of the Indian River. With water views, a great location near the Eau Gallie Arts District, shops, and restaurants, Victoria Landing is a wonderful place to call home!
We offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care living so that our residents can truly age in place without multiple moves during their senior years. We offer amenities such as a heated pool, walking paths, bocce ball courts, our own movie theater, and daily optional activities. We offer our residents the ability to live in a wonderful community of seniors whether they can live independently, need a little assistance, or require memory care. If you are interested in joining us at Victoria Landing, we invite you to take a tour. We hope to meet you soon!
