What a room starts at

Both of our communities publish a starting price for every room they offer. Assisted living starts at the figures below and moves with how much daily help a resident needs. Memory care is a set rate at both communities.

Every room at both communities is priced below the Florida median for assisted living. That is not a claim about quality, it is arithmetic against a named survey, and the figures are on this page so you can check it.

Both communities accept Medicaid. How families pay for care

A shared room at The Gardens starts 55% below the Florida median. Every room at both communities is priced under it.

Median figures from the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey, fielded July to November 2025. They describe a private one bedroom and are not our rates.

What moves the number

How much help your parent needs

A resident who needs a reminder and a hand with buttons costs less to support than one who needs two people for every transfer. A nurse reviews the care needs before anyone quotes a number, and that review is what turns a starting price into a real one.

The room

A shared room costs less than a private studio at both communities. The two room styles are the same at each, so the choice is about privacy and budget rather than about which community you pick.

Which community

The Gardens in Crystal River starts lower than Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa. Both are family owned and both accept Medicaid, so the difference is the building and the town rather than the standard of care.

What does not move it

Memory care is a set rate at both communities. There is no separate charge for the secured neighborhood, and no level of care ladder inside it.

Questions families ask

At our two communities, a shared room starts lower than a private studio, and The Gardens in Crystal River starts lower than Sugarmill Manor in Homosassa. Every room at both is priced below the Florida median for assisted living. The starting figures are published on this page, and the number for your parent comes after a nurse reviews their care needs.

Because a real number depends on how much help a resident needs, so any single figure is incomplete. That is true, and it is also true that a family comparing four communities needs somewhere to start. We publish the starting rate and say plainly what moves it, rather than making you call to find out whether we are even in your range.

It is the floor for assisted living. What a family actually pays depends on the level of daily help, which is assessed before move in. Memory care is different: it is a set rate at both communities and it does not move.

Yes. Sugarmill Manor and The Gardens both accept Medicaid. Call either community to talk through eligibility.

What changes an assisted living total is the level of daily help, not a list of add ons. There is no separate charge for the secured memory care neighborhood, and none for keeping a pet. Florida requires the rate and any added charges to be written into the residency agreement before move in, so ask every community you tour for that in writing. The administrator here will go through ours with you line by line.

The room, three home cooked meals a day, housekeeping and laundry, the activities calendar, and the care staff on site around the clock. Residents may bring a pet at both communities, and there is no separate charge for that.

Come and see a room, and we will go through the agreement line by line.
