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

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

Pricing at Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes doesn't list a price for assisted living, memory care or respite on its website. What the community does state in writing is that its 30-day guarantee excludes care charges. That tells you care is counted apart from the rent it would refund. One request through Get Pricing can include the rent for the apartment you'd take and the cost of the care, so you can weigh both numbers against other places.

The 30-Day Guarantee at Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes states that if it doesn't meet your expectations at any time within 30 days of move-in, you can leave whenever you like. It also states that the stay is month to month, and that it won't lock you into a long-term lease. Its 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 which part of the bill comes back and which doesn't.

Memory Care at Anthem Lakes

Anthem Lakes describes memory care here as a specialized, secure community of private studio apartments, for residents diagnosed with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Its plan list also shows a 412 square foot two bedroom. Meals are fresh rather than frozen or precooked. The community describes its own shake supplement, plus finely chopped and pureed (blended smooth) food for residents who struggle to chew or swallow. If eating has already gotten hard for your family member, those options are there.

Respite Stays at Anthem Lakes

Respite care is short-term help so the family member who usually does the caring can rest. Anthem Lakes lists respite as one of its assisted living services, and again under a care heading of its own. If you need care after surgery or while a family caregiver travels, the rate and the shortest stay they allow can both be part of one pricing request.
