The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Lady Lake, FL for 2024

Lady Lake is situated in Florida's Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metro area, offering urban conveniences, such as shops and restaurants. Additionally, there are numerous outdoor attractions, including lakes, parks and golf courses that appeal to the senior community. This blend of retirement-focused amenities combined with the city's many hospitals and clinics make Lady Lake a hotspot for seniors. In fact, it has a large elderly population, comprising 51.6% of the city's 16,661 residents.

Assisted living communities in Lady Lake cater to seniors' needs by providing services such as housekeeping, meal preparation and transportation. Caregivers in these communities also assist with daily activities such as bathing and dining. This type of care is ideal for older adults who need help with some daily tasks but don't require the more specialized services of nursing homes. However, at an average cost of $5,208 per month, assisted living is much more expensive in Lady Lake than the respective state and national averages of $4,000 and $4,500. The elevated price may be due to the size of the city's senior population driving demand.
