Lexington Manor

The operator does not itemize it, though it states the rule: the starting figure at Lexington Manor is based on apartment availability and level of care. Across its communities Sinceri describes assisted living as covering three meals a day, activities, outings, housekeeping and laundry, and names therapy, hospice and visiting physicians as available depending on individual need. The operator doesn't state a community fee, a move-in fee or the size of the care charge on its community or assisted living pages, so ask for the rent, the care charge and any one-time fee separately.

Eight, all named and all captioned assisted living: Royal Palm, Princess Palm, Majestic Palm, Majestic Palm Deluxe, Jasmine, Jasmine Deluxe, Hibiscus and Lexington Grande Deluxe. Three carry the word deluxe, and only two of those pair with a plain version of the same plan: Majestic Palm and Jasmine appear both ways, the Lexington Grande only as a deluxe. No square footage is attached and no plan carries its own rate, so ask what each measures and costs.

The operator does not say, and it is better to find out before you tour than after. Three of the eight layouts at Lexington Manor carry the word deluxe, and only two of those pair with a plain version of the same plan: Majestic Palm and Jasmine appear both ways, while the Lexington Grande appears only as a deluxe. Nothing on the page says whether deluxe means more floor area, a better outlook or something else, and no plan carries its own price. Ask what it adds and what it adds to the monthly figure, because that is the decision the eight names are really asking you to make.

The operator names chef-prepared dining, enriching activities, social events and its signature Elevate Programming at Lexington Manor, and places the community along the scenic waterfront of Charlotte Harbor. Sinceri describes Elevate across its communities as fitness classes, creative programs, educational opportunities, social events and community activities. The operator's pages describe the program in general terms rather than as a weekly schedule, so ask to see the current month's calendar.

The operator's own page for Lexington Manor mentions neither respite nor short stays. If you need a short stay to cover a caregiver's surgery or vacation, or to see how a parent settles before committing, ask directly whether it is available and what the minimum stay and the nightly rate would be.

The operator's assisted living page for Lexington Manor marks three meals as included, and lists housekeeping and linen service, life enrichment activities, group trips and clubs, and on-site rehabilitation services among its amenities and services.

Across its communities Sinceri describes assisted living as covering three meals a day, activities, outings, housekeeping and laundry.
