On August 2, 2019, my Mom, Frances, gained her wings. She had spent the last 6 years of her life at Lake Forest Park, her last 5 months in Memory Care. I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the Staff. They are all truly phenomenal caregivers. From the receptionist, to the hairdresser to the laundry staff, to housekeeping, to maintenance, to the kitchen staff. They are all just such wonderful, caring people. I have to mention here the extremely kind gesture from the kitchen staff who came to mom's room to see her just before she passed. Mom ...passed soon after. Just after the Crisis Care nurse called me, she held the phone to Mom's ear and I got to tell her for the last time that I loved her, and my 2 sisters loved her. One half-hour into my drive over to see her, she passed but heard those last words "I Love You". Also, I want to give a big thanks to Ryan, Virginia, and Stephanie who made sure mom was taken to any activities she was able to take part in. Last, but not least, the kind, caring and loving nursing staff who treated Mom as if she was a member of their own family. All the CNA's (sorry I have forgotten names and apologize) are all exceptional people whom I've gotten to know and love. It meant the world to me and my family. Again, thanks to all. I will never forget your kindness to me. It is absolute proof that angels walk among us. I will keep you all in my prayers, and may God bless you abundantly.

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.
