Experience Vibrant Community Living
Residential living at Bay Lake is designed for those who want the perfect mix of independence and convenience. Unlike independent living, which typically includes fully-equipped kitchens for residents to cook all their meals, residential living focuses on providing services and amenities that support a worry-free lifestyle. At Bay Lake, this means no more cooking, cleaning, or maintaining a home—allowing you to focus on what truly matters.
In residential living, the emphasis is on community, connection, and support. With chef-prepared meals served daily, housekeeping, and laundry services included, you can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle without the stress of managing a household. While independent living may cater to those who prefer more hands-on daily routines, residential living at Bay Lake is ideal for those who want freedom without the hassle.
At Bay Lake, we offer beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces with walking paths, flexible month-to-month rental options, and a vibrant, pet-friendly environment. From gentle yoga classes and continuous learning opportunities to group outings and adventures, every day brings new choices tailored to your interests.
Residential living at Bay Lake means more time for the things you love, with all the support you need to live life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Residential living is designed for active adults 55 and up who are self-sufficient, but want to live in a community with amenities and services that enhance their lifestyle. It differs from assisted living, which provides more comprehensive care and support.
Most residential living communities are designed for seniors, typically those aged 55 and older. The age requirements can vary, so it’s important to check with the specific communities you are interested in.
The costs for residential living vary based on location, amenities, and services. Traditional insurance and Medicare generally do not cover these costs, as they are lifestyle choices rather than medical necessities.
While residential living focuses on self-sufficiency, our communities offer access to 24/7 licensed nurses on-site and an assisted living lifestyle, so our residents can age in place and receive care if their needs change.
