Wonderful Lifestyle

We have lived in Florida since 1986 and retired from our teaching careers in 2010. We had family living in Palm City and it became our second home . We discovered Sandhill Cove when my step father passed in [removed] and my Mother had some rehab there as well. That being said we knew where we were going to move after retirement. It was a no brainer! Sell your home, downsize your possessions, meet new people. When the pandemic hit we were first in line for our vaccinations, if wanted.. We have some health issues and how can you not want help at your finger tips. That's what [removed] is all about. There when needed! We continue to enjoy our independent living style and do what we can to keep it up. All the exercise classes, social activities etc keep ypu moving and engaged with the community. We have lived here for 7 years and being our last move. it was the Best Move!!!

What a special place!

From the moment you drive through the front entrance at Sandhill Cove, you know you are somewhere special! I spent some time at the community last week - my second visit and each time is better than the last (and that’s a high bar). The people make the difference - the staff are warm and welcoming , with such sincerity, and the residents are kind and fun spirited - full of life enjoying all the community offers. The energy is magnetic, the food is outstanding, and the signature community cookie is to die for. If you have not been to Sandhill Cove - you must, it is an absolute gem, filled with amazing people!

Captain's Club at Sand Hill Cove

One of the privileges of being a member of the Captain’s Club is a complimentary four-course dinner once a month. It is our “date night.” We arrive for hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine. Without exception, we are greeted and welcomed by residents who always ask, “When are you moving in?” along with the comment, “Living at Sand Hill Cove is the best decision we ever made.” At 6:30pm the Matre ’de cordially takes us to our table to enjoy our dinner. We have never been disappointed by the menu or the service. Regarding when we might “move in” we hope that it will be sooner rather than later. About 30 residents at Sand Hill Cove have moved there from our current community. What better recommendation could we have than that of our former neighbors.

Resident of Sandhill

I had been aware of Sandhill Cove. I found several of my friends had moved there and were always telling me how great it was....When I decided Sandhill Cove was an excellent choice for myself I moved there because of the quality of its facilities the resort style areas and excellent restaurants. I have been here for 2 years and found it as good as others had often said. I find far more things to do than I expected. Being a Resident here provides so much you will not be bored....Most importantly there is an extensive health care program included in the Life Plan that will provide all my care needs for the future.....

I'm a second generation resident

I moved to Sandhill Cove in 2015. It was the best decision I ever made. In 2019, I had to move my husband to the skilled nursing component, Water's Edge Health and Rehabilitation. I was able to spend time with him every day and have him join me in the dining room on many occasions until his passing in 2021. The residents of Sandhill Cove are my family. There are many opportunities for residents to lead an active and fulfilling life in this community. We have wonderful staff that look out for us on a daily basis. Come join us!

A New Beginning

Sandhill Cove is not a retirement community, far from it. Sandhill Cove is a new beginning. It's like taking an advanced degree on how to live life. Kind of like living on a new planet or starting a new life. Infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, that's all behind you. Sandhill Cove is all about being busy doing all the things you had no time for when you had to work. Attending theatre, playing golf, listening to informative lectures, having opportunities to try new restaurants and treating your body to healthy exercise. But the best thing of all is meeting new people from all over and making new friends to share a new life that we have been given the opportunity to love.

IT'S THE PEOPLE!

To me, it's the staff that exceeds expectations! Knowledgeable, friendly, dedicated and totally committed to being the best. And this is reflected in the Residents, as well. We were greeted by a most welcoming group pf residents who went above and beyond to dine with us, introduce us to other residents, answer questions and share their their exciting life stories. The residents are committed to being the best versions of themselves! SandHill is as promised: ALL FIVE STAR++

Resident of Sandhill Cove

I was a snowbird for 30 years. Life was great until my husband passed away. My neighbors and friends passed away or moved. I realized I was handling more than I was comfortable with.. After attending a luncheon at Sandhill Cove I had such a marvelous experience and thought this could be the right choice for me.....I was impressed with the food, the choices of residential living, the grounds, and ammenities. What caught my eye was the 24 hour emergency response program that made me feel safe..... I participate in aerobics, yoga-chairside, balance, corn toss, WII Bowling, bridge, mahjong, hand and foot, rummikub.and I like that the water aerobics has music from my era......I played golf until I fell and broke my shoulder. That is when I learned the value of Sandhill Cove's Healthcare Program.which includes at home nursing care, therapists, caregivers, conveirce services to Drs and meal deliveries....All my needs were met and will be in the future. .

Resident Review

I’m very happy that I came here when I sold my home and went into retirement. I’ve been happy with everything I’ve encountered here. I love the grounds there is beautiful space to walk around the river. It offers everything to enjoy. I’m glad they provide health coverage. I haven’t used that but it is available. I don’t have to go out looking for that and the food is very good. I’m happy with the activities they provide and I don’t have to go out looking for any of them they’re all right here. They have yoga, croquettes, billiards, Ti-Chi and much more . I’m very happy that I came here.

Positive Experience

We have resided here at SHC for 18 months. We are pleased with our apartment that looks out over the waterfall and the mermaid pond. We enjoy corn toss, putting, horseshoes, and shuffle board, We enjoy aqua blast Mon Wed Fri and croquet Tues, Thurs, Sat. Wed and occasionally Thurs bridge are competitive. Dinning in the Cove or Waterside is always enjoyable. We are both happy with the on-site clinic. After spinal surgery last year Rick spent 3 weeks rehab in Waters Edge. It was very convient having him nearby. The guest rooms are perfect when family visits. Our overall experience has been very positive.

Two years of enjoyment and peace of mind

My spouse and I had mixed emotions about making the move to Sandhill Cove. For one thing we would be reducing our living space to less than 50% of what we were used to. I asked my spouse which one of her 4 children would she call if one or both of us had a serious illness. She said she would not ask any of her children to come to help us. We do not have any other relatives anywhere near this area. Sandhill Cove offers life care and it is close to our former neighborhood so we decided that it would be right for us. After two years we have made many new friends and have actively become involved in the community. When asked about our decision to move here both of us always answers in the positive.
