Retirement is your time to relax and enjoy yourself after years of working hard and raising a family, and what better place to do so than sunny Florida? Known for its beautiful weather, world-renowned beaches, and exciting attractions, Florida has long been the iconic American retirement destination. With so many people moving down to Florida for their retirement, it’s no surprise that the state is filled with amazing senior living communities, many of them affiliated with their popular 55+ active adult community counterparts. Given all of Florida’s amazing senior living options we could only cover a few here, but read below to learn more about 7 of the most popular senior living companies in Florida below.

Freedom Pointe at The Villages 

If there’s one name that’s synonymous with retirement community living in Florida it’s The Villages. As we’ve covered before, The Villages is one of the largest active adult communities in the country and is really more akin to a city than what many people would consider an adult community. With over 125,000 residents and 60,000 homes, The Villages plans to develop another 60,000 homes over the next two decades. The Villages is known for its recreational department, numerous golf courses, and town squares with free nightly entertainment and restaurants. With this much success, and unique social opportunities, it's no wonder that The Villages is one of the most popular senior living companies in Florida. 

But while many people know about The Villages’ 55+ active adult communities, fewer people know that The Villages also offers an amazing senior living community called Freedom Pointe at the Villages. As a lifecare community that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term care and rehab, Freedom Pointe lets seniors comfortably age in one location, while also enjoying all of the excitement and amenities that come with living in The Villages.
