Assisted Living in Lakeland, FL

Lakeland is a city in central Florida that got its name from the 38 lakes within the city limits, including Lake Morton, Lake Parker and Lake Mirror. It has a population of approximately 112,000 people, with nearly 22% aged 65 and older. There are plenty of things to see and do, including long walks in Hollis Garden, taking in a baseball game at the Joker Merchant Stadium or taking a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum at Florida Southern College.

For seniors, assisted living facilities offer a middle ground between nursing homes and aging at home. By surrounding residents with supportive caregivers and peers, assisted living facilities help seniors with daily needs and opportunities to socialize. According to Genworth’s 2021 Cost of Care Survey, in Lakeland, the average monthly assisted living rate is $3,300, a figure lower than the averages of Florida, the nation and many of Lakeland’s regional neighbors.

Lakeland’s cost of assisted living is compared to that of neighboring cities, and local senior resources and funding options for elder care are also discussed.
