Deltona is a Volusia County city on the banks of Lake Monroe that offers seniors a semirural feel yet is only 30 minutes from downtown Orlando. It's home to just over 97,000 people, 16.2% of whom are aged 65 and older — slightly below the country's 16.8% average.

Chefs prepare nutritionally balanced meals catering to specific diets, and staff ensures private living spaces are clean and tidy. The median fee in Deltona is $3,975 per month, which is slightly below the norm for Florida and significantly below the national average.
