Just south of Candler Hills Golf Club, rests Bridgewater Park, a senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, respite care, and memory care. The cost of assisted living begins at $3,200 per month. This is on par with the $3,275 average in Ocala, FL. Living residences offered at this retirement community include a choice of one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments. Living spaces come with a private bathroom, kitchenette, balcony or patio, living room, and laundry appliances. Major utilities are included in the monthly fees, and there is no long term commitment. All residents enjoy chef-prepared meals, restaurant-style dining, a social calendar, building maintenance, groundskeeping, weekly housekeeping and linen services, wellness programs, and 24-hour staffing.
