CHOOSE A TOPIC
ASSISTED LIVING
1. What does “assisted living” mean at Victoria Landing?
Assisted living at Victoria Landing is designed for independence with support always within reach. Residents enjoy private apartment homes, resort-style amenities, and 24-hour assistance when needed — from daily activities to medication management. The goal is to help each person live confidently, comfortably, and joyfully.
2. How is assisted living different from independent living or a nursing home?
Independent living is ideal for those who want convenience and community but need little to no daily assistance. Nursing homes provide medical-level care for those requiring constant supervision. Assisted living sits in the middle — combining independence with compassionate, personalized help in a warm, homelike environment.
3. What services are included in assisted living?
Our services include personalized assistance with daily routines, housekeeping, laundry, three chef-prepared meals each day, wellness programs, transportation, and 24-hour staff availability. Residents also have full access to all lifestyle amenities and community events.
4. How much does assisted living cost, and what factors influence the rate?
Monthly rates start at $4,495, and vary based on the selected apartment, level of care, and individualized needs. Each resident receives a personalized care assessment to determine the right level of support and pricing.
5. Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for assisted living in Florida?
Medicare generally doesn’t cover assisted living costs, but long-term care insurance or veterans’ benefits may apply. Our team can help you explore funding options and guide you through available financial resources.
6. How is care customized for each resident?
Each resident receives a personalized care plan developed in collaboration with our licensed nurses, care team, and family members. This plan evolves over time to reflect any changes in health or personal preferences so they can age in place with ease.
7. What is the staff-to-resident ratio, and is care available around the clock?
Our care team is staffed 24/7, ensuring prompt support and supervision day and night. Ratios are designed to provide attentive, individualized care, not just coverage.
8. Can residents bring pets or personal belongings?
Yes! Victoria Landing is pet-friendly. Residents are encouraged to bring furniture, décor, and personal touches that make their apartment feel like home.
9. What happens if a resident’s care needs increase?
Our community offers multiple levels of support, including memory care. If needs change, our team will review and adjust the resident’s care plan to ensure safety, comfort, and continuity — without losing the familiar environment they love.
10. How do I start the process?
The first step is simple — schedule a visit. We’ll show you around, answer questions, and help you determine what level of care best suits your needs.

MEMORY CARE
11. What is “memory care”?
Memory care provides specialized support for residents living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. It combines secure surroundings, structured routines, and meaningful engagement designed to nurture safety, dignity, and joy.
12. How is memory care different from assisted living?
While assisted living focuses on independence with support, memory care adds tailored programs, enhanced security, and trained staff who specialize in memory-related needs. Every aspect — from layout to activities — is built to reduce stress and encourage familiarity.
13. Can I arrange a short-term (respite) stay?
Yes. We offer short-term respite stays for caregivers needing a break or individuals wanting to experience our community firsthand. These stays include full access to amenities, care services, and daily activities.
14. How do you ensure safety for memory care residents?
Our memory care area is thoughtfully designed with secure access, clear visual cues, and monitored spaces. Staff are trained to respond calmly and compassionately to ensure residents remain safe and comfortable.
15. How do you support families of memory care residents?
We view families as part of the care team. We offer open communication, regular updates, and family engagement events to ensure you remain connected and informed.
16. Can couples stay together if one partner needs memory care?
In many cases, yes. We strive to accommodate couples so they can continue sharing their lives while ensuring each receives the appropriate level of care.

WATERFRONT LIVING & LIFESTYLE
17. What are the benefits of living in a waterfront assisted living community?
There’s something profoundly peaceful about living by the water. Research shows natural environments can reduce stress, boost mood, and improve overall well-being. At Victoria Landing, the waterfront isn’t just a view — it’s part of daily life.
18. How does the waterfront influence community life?
From riverside dining and walking paths to morning coffee on private balconies, the water shapes our lifestyle. It creates a sense of calm, connection, and beauty that residents and visitors feel the moment they arrive.

Yes. Victoria Landing follows strict safety and weather-preparedness protocols, including elevated construction, storm-resistant materials, and comprehensive emergency plans to ensure peace of mind year-round.
