You might already know that a CCRC – Continuing Care Retirement Community – provides a complete spectrum of care for residents. But you might be pleasantly surprised to learn about all the many exceptional senior living amenities that CCRCs offer—perks that often are not available in types of senior living.
At St. Mark Village, our residents are enjoying these perks every day in an environment filled with activity, companionship, wellness, entertainment and a strong sense of family and belonging. Here’s just a sample of what is waiting for you.
Senior living amenities and services offered by today’s CCRCs
Wellness programs
Feeling good today and tomorrow is something everyone desires. In a CCRC, you’ll find a dynamic approach to healthy aging that incorporates all dimensions of wellness, such as physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual and more. Programs, classes, and activities are geared to help you maintain a healthy quality of life.
In Wellness Matters, St. Mark Village’s senior wellness program, our wellness professionals work with residents to create and implement customized wellness plans to achieve their wellness goals. From yoga to cardio to balance to line dancing, you will find it easy to be inspired to stay active here. And have fun doing it!
A variety of dining options
Choice is very important in a CCRC, especially when it comes to dining. In fact, being able to choose how, when and where you dine is one of the most important senior living amenities. You want options that fit your busy lifestyle and make it easy for you to invite friends and family to join you for a meal. In a CCRC, you will typically have options for more formal dining, as well as a more casual bistro or grab n’ go counter. There’s also usually a private dining room for you and your guests.
Catering to resident preferences is paramount. The culinary staff is dedicated to delighting residents and their guests with delicious, nutritious menu options that enhance the dining experience. Residents of St. Mark Village can opt for a five-course meal in our dining room or enjoy breakfast and lunch in the more casual Village Café & Bakery. You can even splurge on locally made ice cream!

Personal services
Making life easier and more enjoyable for you is the goal of today’s CCRC. For example, offering scheduled transportation to medical appointments so you can relax and arrive on time without the hassle of driving. In addition, many CCRCs offer a full-service spa where you can indulge in manicures, pedicures, massage and more. Housekeeping is provided, as well as 24-hour security and property maintenance.
At St. Mark Village, we also offer a full-service, primary care clinic providing both in-person care and telehealth, including urgent care visits, diagnostics and lab work, and minor procedures. It’s an example of how the senior living amenities and services in CCRCs go further to make life more convenient for residents and their families.
Movie theaters and entertainment venues
Living in a CCRC means a world of opportunities to socialize, have fun, and stay connected to what’s happening in the world. That includes movies, plays, music and more. On a CCRC’s list of senior living amenities you’ll usually find a comfortable theater for watching movies (complete with popcorn) so you can catch the latest flick just steps from your door. In the community’s auditorium/performance venue, you’ll have great seats for concerts, theatrical productions, and other special events.
However, you aren’t limited to what’s on campus. At St. Mark Village, our residents regularly travel as a group to see plays at nearby theaters or hear the Florida Orchestra in concert. And that’s just the beginning. We also visit a range of art museums, natural preserves, outlet malls and just about anything else our residents suggest!
Senior living amenities abound in CCRCs
Resident gardens. Mini marts. A peaceful chapel. Libraries and computer centers. Pools and fully equipped fitness centers. If you are looking for a well-rounded, fulfilling retirement lifestyle, you can’t go wrong with today’s CCRCs. You’ll find an abundance of extraordinary senior living amenities and services, plus the reassurance of continuing care.
