Tuscan Gardens to develop senior living community in Palm Coast

Tuscan Gardens Senior Living has announced its expansion plans to develop a new senior living community in Palm Coast.

Tuscan Gardens combines luxurious senior living, complete with elegant Italian aesthetic, with individualized care to ensure the highest quality of life for its residents. The vision for Tuscan Gardens of Palm Coast will be a vibrant community, designed to reinvigorate senior living with luxury, service and personalized attention.

“Tuscan Gardens of Palm Coast will be created by people who have all experienced the challenges of searching for quality senior living for a parent,” says Charles C. Smith Jr., President and Chief Development Officer. “As a result, we will create a community that will not only provide a loved one with the care and support that is needed but will also nurture their love of life, respect their individuality and honor their dignity.”

Tuscan Gardens of Palm Coast follows Tuscan Gardens’ flagship luxury senior community in Venice, which is scheduled to open late summer 2016. The approximate 17 acres of Tuscan Gardens is located at Grand Haven along Colbert Lane, a half-mile south of the Palm Coast Parkway. For more information, call 407-206-6511.
