Getting Started FAQs

I don’t know anyone who lives in your community. How can I make new friends?

There are always friendly faces at The Lakeside at Amelia Island! Our residents tend to become fast friends, and you can meet new friends easily. Try joining one of our community clubs, attending a social program, or simply saying hello to a few new people you see in the halls.

How do I know which type of senior living is best for me?

The Lakeside at Amelia Island offers five types of senior living options on one campus: independent living apartments, cottages and homes, assisted living, and dementia care. No matter where you live, you will enjoy the amenities, the activities, and The Lakeside lifestyle, including personalized care and deep connections with those around you. However, assisted living, and dementia care offer more specialized care and additional assistance, which is ideal if you could benefit from easy access to caregivers, or are living with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia.

At The Lakeside at Amelia Island, you always get to make your own decisions! We know everyone has unique personalities and preferences, and our team works hard to develop opportunities everyone will enjoy.

I have a special diet. Can I still eat in the dining room?

Our chefs are trained and prepared to offer a variety of entree options for any diet.
