Overview of Sunburst Community Care

Sunburst Community Care provides assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Lakeland, Florida. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a resident who may be at risk of wandering.

The community offers three care types. Having all three in one setting can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community. Studio housing provides one private living space, and Sunburst Community Care may be a good fit for someone who wants access to different care levels in one setting.

A Walk Score of 55 places the area in the somewhat walkable band. Some errands can be completed on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still be able to get out independently for those trips. Residents can keep their pets here. Salon and barber services, an outdoor courtyard, live musical entertainment, and community outings give residents options for grooming, outdoor time, entertainment, and activities beyond their living space. Sunburst Community Care is owned by Mainstay Senior Living.
