I am a senior who has lived and worked in St. Lucie County since the fall of 1972. I have worked as both a teacher and a minister for a large part of that time and have had the opportunity to visit many different retirement facilities over the years. I am presently a part of a group that meets once a month at Lake Forest Park for a luncheon. I have also toured their facilities and am quite impressed. They provide a secure and challenging program of activities and I know of no other place that I would rather consider ...retirement than LFP. Their facility is conveniently located near shopping and Lawnwood Medical Center, and they provide transportation for most every need of their residents. The staff is helpful and friendly and the food is delicious and well prepared. I'm impressed by the fact that the chef goes out of his way to accommodate special dietary needs. In addition, one never gets the feeling that he/she is an imposition. i would highly recommend Lake Forest Park to anyone looking for a nice, clean, secure place to retire and enjoy their "golden years".
Show MoreLessStaying Active is important in Senior Living Communities Back

Making the decision to move to a senior living community doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your daily activeness and exercise. Staying active is an important part of your lifestyle as you age. Exercise has a plethora of benefits such as the opportunity for social activity, improved strength and mobility and strengthened mental function. Now, I’m not talking about the kind of exercise that involves heavy weight lifting or running a marathon, simply going for a five minute walk has benefits for your heart and bones.
At Lake Forest Park, you will find several ways to fulfill your exercise goals. Both our independent living and assisted living communities have access to our seasonally heated outdoor swimming pool which is perfect for year-round enjoyment. At the pool, residents can participate in aqua aerobics classes that are easy on the joints and enhance balance. On the property, you will also find landscaped walking paths for memory care, assisted and independent living residents. Residents enjoy strolls on the trail to experience the nature and weather in beautiful Ft. Pierce, Florida. With options for memory care, independent or assisted living residents, you can be rest assured that an active lifestyle is encouraged at Lake Forest Park.
Our job at Lake Forest Park is to help you enjoy life in retirement. Part of happy living is taking care of your body.
