Foxtail Lodge - Kissimmee, FL

Enjoy a tranquil retirement in the heart of the Disney area, at Foxtail Lodge is a hidden treasure, where you will find a warm welcome and wonderful quality of life awaits each new member of our family. For the enjoyment of our six senior residents, we provide spacious private and semi-private bedrooms, as well as elegant social areas where recreational and social activities are frequently held. Residents and their family will also be able to enjoy our beautiful private grounds and heated, secluded swimming pool.
Our activities program is truly unparalleled, bespoke for each resident and catering for emotional, physical and cognitive needs. We offer informal coffee mornings and afternoon teas where we all chat and decide upon weekly activities for all to enjoy. From instructor lead exercise classes, swimming or hydrotherapy to arts and crafts sessions, to cola-float social, there is so much to choose from. We feel particularly fortunate to be able to offer the use of our pool, allowing for improvement in balance and strength without stress or impact to painful joints. While we promote this companionship and encourage participation, relaxing outdoors while reading a book under the Foxtail Palms that surround our private pond is always an option rare to many homes.
We arrange scheduled transportation not only to medical appointments, but also to some of the many local entertainment venues and restaurants. We feel so fortunate that we are able to offer this little bit of peaceful Floridian paradise in such close proximity to a plethora of varied, entertaining venues, events, festivals and parades.
We are an excellent choice for those looking for assisted living in Orlando Florida and surrounding areas and the perfect town for a hospitable senior assisted living home.
The administrator/owner spent many years as a physical therapist with experience in the British National Health Service and elderly care homes. Beverly is truly passionate about the holistic care, respect and dignity which should be given to each and every one of our elders. Staff are hand picked not only for their practical abilities, but also for their kindness, empathy and passion for this caring profession.
Our priority is to offer a welcoming, safe and comfortable quality of life to our elders who have worked so hard and should now be enjoying a well-deserved retirement. We provide 24 hour care, housekeeping, linen and laundry, maintenance, meals and snacks, and so much more, giving you peace of mind that your needs are taken care of and someone is available every hour of the day should an emergency arise. For more detail on services offered, please see our services section below.
The home itself is all on one level, which means no internal steps to negotiate with frames and canes. Where often older facilities are ‘grandfathered in’ to older requirements, our newly licensed facility complies to all the latest laws, which means a sprinkler in every room and fire alarms linked to our local fire station just one mile down the road. Staff are all back ground checked and trained to deal with emergencies which includes power outages, where we aim to keep temperatures within required standards with the use of our emergency generator and large propane storage, so you are always comfortable in our Florida summer time.
While of course residents may come and go as they please, all entries and exits are fitted with cameras and (unobtrusive) alarms to alert staff that a resident may either need assistance on out door steps or require a friendly reminder for them to sign out. This also contributes to facilitating in cutting down on ‘false alarms’ should a resident ever become confused and wander away.
