A Wonderful Place to Live

At Emeritus at College Park, we offer many enriching activities to fill your day with laughter and contentment. In fact, our resident activity and food committees are actively involved in deciding what we offer and do. You may choose to go to a computer class, join outdoor excursions, join the bowling team or do a little tai-chi. Whatever you do, you will always have the security of knowing you are never alone.

Emeritus at College Park offers daily events and activities. Many residents enjoy the exercise class, our garden club or just kicking back and watching the newest movies in our theater. We host a very exciting happy hour every Friday with live entertainment and dancing. Come join our chef for a hands-on cooking class that will stimulate your taste buds and satisfy your pallet. We are a very lively group that loves to have fun and laugh.

Partnering with the Local Community

“Our family is committed to yours.” This promise is why we host events for our community that benefits Meals on Wheels, the Alzheimer’s Association and provides space for the Florida Assisted Living Association meetings, all of which helps keep our staff and residents updated on local and state information.

Emeritus at College Park is passionate about offering an active lifestyle. Our focus is to enhance and stimulate your retirement with quality events that can nurture your spiritual and physical growth. That is why we offer educational seminars on health issues, Alzheimer’s support groups and financial educational support. Our annual partnership with the Salvation Santa program has proven to be a great benefit both the residents here and volunteers who are true treasures!

Fine Dining

We promote a 5-star restaurant dining experience. Three homemade meals are made daily. All meals are served on china and linen. Our executive chef oversees all offerings, and is involved in our weekly resident cooking class. Listen to some great music that is played on our white baby grand piano while enjoying conversions with new and old friends.
