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. Lakeside offers independent living apartments AND duplex homes, whereas The Oaks offers duplex homes only. Lakeside residents can drive their golf carts to beautiful downtown Mount Dora, just a mile or two away.
We have one Lakeside Grand 2BR – 2BA apartment available now. CLICK HERE for images. Great opportunity to get settled and make your best plan for your future.
Lakeside residents pay a monthly service fee and an initial ‘buy-in’ fee, which we call a ‘life-lease’ fee. This type of fee is common for retirement communities that have independent living residences, an assisted living facility, a memory care facility, and a nursing care post-hospital rehab center all on one campus. Living at a community like this, helps people remain independent and active longer.
Most of the new retirement communities being built today, especially in The Villages, FL, only offer independent living and assisted living/memory care, lacking a skilled nursing/post-hospital rehab center.
This is important, knowing that if you’re sent to the hospital and your doctor recommends a post-hospital nursing/rehab center upon discharge, you’re coming BACK HOME to Waterman Village. A quality care facility in familiar surroundings near, your spouse/friends.
At Waterman Village, you’re not ‘forced’ to choose a plan where you pay a large entrance fee that’s completely amortized or non-refundable, after living at the community just a few years, like many other multi-level/progressive living communities in FL. You have plan choices that meet your own particular situation.
Folks who already possess LTC (long-term care) insurance, find Waterman Village to be the ideal choice. They don’t have to pay twice: for their own individual LTC policy and a community’s life-care plan through higher fees and/or lower /no entry fee refund plan.
Lakeside offers three dining venues, large screened in lanais in all residences, EV charging stations, a staffed gatehouse 24/7,
complimentary covered parking, and priority access to all the living and service areas Waterman Village has to offer. Residents can walk or golf cart to dental and doctor offices, as well our highly acclaimed physical therapy clinic. Waterman Village offer complimentary on-campus transportation 24/7.
