Lakeside at Waterman Village Retirement Community
Lakeside is Waterman Village’s second retirement community. Lakeside opened in 2022 and is located directly across the street from The Oaks at Waterman Village. Lakeside and The Oaks are connected by a golf cart/pedestrian bridge over Donnelly Street. It’s our mini ‘The Villages’ Spanish Springs bridge. Lakeside offers independent living apartments AND duplex homes, whereas The Oaks only offers duplex homes.
Lakeside residents pay a monthly service fee and a ‘buy-in’ fee, which we call a ‘life-lease’ fee. 75-85% life-time refund options are available, which is somewhat rare for a full-service, multi-level, progressive living type of retirement community. No need to have to pay a large entry fee, where nothing is returned back after living in the community just a few years, in order to receive a future discount in the community’s nursing home if long term nursing home care is needed. The odds are only 7%, that a person who first starts out in a community’s independent living area, will ever need to transfer to the community’s nursing home on a long-term basis. And, what if a person moves to community where they paid a large entry fee, and in a few years decide they don’t like the community, or, need to move out? Knowing they would receive nothing back of their original entrance fee paid, can have a detrimental/negative impact on the person in various ways.
Lakeside is an ideal choice for those who already possess long-term care insurance.
Three dining venues, large screened in lanais in all residences, EV charging stations, staffed gatehouse 24/7, covered parking included, and priority access to all the living and service areas Waterman Village has to offer. Walk to dentists, doctors’ offices, and a physical therapy clinic.
