At Vicar’s Landing, Florida’s highest-ranked hospitals are close to home.
When you are choosing where to spend the next chapter of your life, the little things matter. So do the big things. Where will you live? What will you do? Who will you meet? And perhaps most importantly, what happens if you need exceptional medical care?
At Vicar’s Landing, you do not have to choose between an extraordinary lifestyle and access to outstanding healthcare. You can have both.
Set close to the beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach coast, Vicar’s Landing offers the kind of retirement people dream about. Days can be filled with friends, fitness, dining, cultural experiences, time outdoors, or simply doing whatever sounds good that morning. And just beyond our community, Jacksonville is home to a remarkable concentration of highly regarded healthcare providers and hospitals.
For residents and their families, that proximity offers something that is difficult to put a price on: peace of mind.
National Recognition, Right Here in Jacksonville
The latest U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings provide an impressive reminder of the quality of healthcare available in our region.
Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville was named the number one hospital in Florida and earned a place on the U.S. News Honor Roll. Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville also earned a spot among the state’s best hospitals, ranking number 10 in Florida.
These are not simply local accolades. U.S. News evaluates hospitals using a range of measures, including patient outcomes, nurse staffing, patient experience and expert opinion. This independent recognition gives families another way to evaluate the healthcare resources available when they are considering where to live.
For Vicar’s Landing residents, it is one more advantage of calling this area home.
And it is an advantage that becomes especially meaningful when healthcare needs change.
Exceptional Healthcare Is Close to Home
One of the questions we hear from people considering senior living is a practical one: What happens if I need more healthcare someday?
It is a smart question, and one worth asking before choosing a community.
At Vicar’s Landing, healthcare and wellness are already part of the lifestyle. Residents have access to healthcare services on campus, including physical, occupational and speech therapy through the Wellness Clinic.
The community also offers a continuum of care designed to support residents as their needs evolve, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing and Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® Memory Care.
That means you can choose Vicar’s Landing for the life you want today while having confidence that resources are available for tomorrow.
And when specialized medical care is needed beyond the community, Jacksonville’s outstanding healthcare network is nearby. Major medical practices and hospitals are within convenient reach, and Vicar’s Landing provides transportation to area doctors and hospitals.
For residents, that can make a significant difference. For their families, it can be reassuring to know that highly respected medical care is not hours away. It is part of the community’s larger backyard.
Wellness Starts Before You Need Healthcare
Of course, living well is about much more than having access to a good hospital.
At Vicar’s Landing, wellness is part of everyday life. The community encourages residents to stay active, connected and engaged through fitness, swimming, walking, social activities, educational opportunities and a wide variety of programs designed around healthy aging.
Thrive at Vicar’s Landing is our whole person approach to wellness, taking that philosophy even further. It recognizes that well-being is not just physical. Emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental, occupational, and financial wellness all contribute to a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.
That means wellness is not something you think about only when something goes wrong. It becomes part of the way you live.
Maybe that means starting the morning with a fitness class and ending the day over dinner with friends. Maybe it means taking a walk by the water, joining a new club or trying something you never had time for before.
The point is that healthcare and wellness work together. One helps you stay well and engaged in the life you enjoy. The other gives you confidence that if your healthcare needs change, you are in a community equipped to support you.
A Benefit Your Family Will Appreciate, Too
Choosing a retirement community is a personal decision, but it rarely affects only one person.
Adult children and other family members want to know that the person they love is in a place where they can feel connected and receive appropriate support when they need it.
Knowing that some of Florida’s highest-ranked hospitals are nearby can be an important part of that decision.
No one wants to spend retirement thinking about hospital visits or medical procedures. But knowing that excellent medical resources are close at hand means you do not have to worry about what might happen if the unexpected occurs.
