Overview of The Reserve at Citrus

The Reserve at Citrus offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Lecanto, FL. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, making the community potentially suitable for a family needing temporary support.

The community has 100 beds and lists a starting price of $3,067 per month, though that rate is not assigned to a specific care type. Payment options include Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, which may help an eligible veteran or surviving spouse cover care costs. Fipe Mohammed serves as the administrator.

Housing includes studios, with one private living space, and semi private rooms for someone comfortable sharing a room. Residents can read in the library, gather around the fireplace or in comfortable lounges, host visitors in private hosting areas, and use the beauty and barber shop for on site grooming. Anytime and all day dining allows meals outside fixed times, while snacks, home style scratch cooking, and special diet accommodations address different dining needs.

There is a daily exercise program. Monthly family events, movie nights, crafts, singing groups, ice cream socials, and weekly church services offer organized ways to spend time. Resident council meetings give residents a forum for community input.
