Move in, and if Anthem Lakes turns out to be the wrong fit inside 30 days, the community states it will refund your community deposit and the rent you have paid.

The community is at 905 Assisi Lane in Jacksonville, FL, in the Atlantic Beach part of town, and it describes itself as a rental retirement community rather than a buy-in. Assisted living and memory care are both here, respite stays are named on its own pages, and the stay runs month to month with no long-term lease.

Pricing at Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes does not state a monthly price for assisted living, memory care or respite on any of the pages it keeps for this community, so there is no figure here rather than a guess. What the community does state in writing is that its 30-day guarantee excludes care charges, which tells you care is counted apart from the rent it would refund. One request through Get Pricing gets you the rent for the apartment you would take and the cost of the care, so you can compare it like for like.

The 30-Day Guarantee at Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes states that if it does not meet your expectations at any time within 30 days of move-in you can leave whenever you like, that the stay is month to month, and that it will not lock you into a long-term lease. Its own fine print says the resident must move in and live in an apartment, the refunded deposit follows the lease agreement, and care charges are excluded. That last line tells you exactly which part of the bill comes back and which does not.

Memory Care at Anthem Lakes

Memory care here is a specialized, secure community that the operator describes as private studio apartments, for residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Its own plan list also carries a 412 square foot two bedroom, so ask which of the two is actually free. On dining, meals are fresh rather than frozen or precooked, and the community describes a proprietary shake supplement plus finely chopped and pureed options for residents who struggle to chew or swallow. If eating has already become difficult for your family member, that is a concrete answer to a question most tours never get to.

Respite Stays at Anthem Lakes

Respite is named on the community's own pages, both as a line item in its assisted living services and as its own heading under care. No rate is stated for it, and no minimum stay length either. If you need cover after surgery or while a family caregiver travels, getting the figure and the minimum length in one conversation saves you a second round of questions.
