Orchard Heights in Clermont, Florida, is an Independent Living community. Residents choose this level of care when they want to maintain control of their daily schedules yet appreciate having staff available for routine chores such as housekeeping, linen service, basic maintenance, transportation coordination, and organized social activities. Independent Living allows residents to come and go as they please while still benefiting from a secure environment and an on-site team that monitors overall wellness.
Beyond the day-to-day lifestyle support, Orchard Heights places emphasis on medical oversight. A speech therapist is available for residents who need help maintaining or improving communication skills after stroke, illness, or surgery. On-site professionals include nurses for health monitoring and medication management, occupational and physical therapists for mobility and activities-of-daily-living training, and a podiatrist for routine foot care. Having these clinicians on campus means residents can receive timely evaluations and interventions without leaving the community.
Residential options range from studios to larger layouts with features such as kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, individual climate control, and options for balconies, patios, or decks. Select units may offer extras like a central fireplace, piano niche, or proximity to outdoor areas for pet owners. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment includes every feature, so families should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times daily, with guest meals available for visiting family or friends. The dining program can accommodate requests for international dishes, no-sugar recipes, or vegan choices, ensuring residents with dietary restrictions or preferences receive appropriate nutrition without sacrificing variety.
Recreational and wellness offerings include an activity center, swimming pool, library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, yoga and chair yoga classes, karaoke, live music, dances, birthday celebrations, social outings, intergenerational programs, fitness classes, and resident-led clubs and communities. These services give residents multiple ways to stay engaged physically, socially, and intellectually throughout the week.
