Fleet Landing

Fleet Landing is our home. Our friends are here, our Doctor is here, our dining options are fabulous. We waited so long for our house snuggled in a live oak canopy. Everything we want is here. Our kids say we live a resort, like being on a cruise. We couldn’t agree more. Fleet Landing really is a Well Inspired Vacation. Join us for Christmas next year.

Fleet Landing is a CCRC that gets it right, non-profit and accredited, with a full range of senior services: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, post-surgery respite rooms, physical therapy, and an on-site medical clinic operated by Baptist Hospital. The campus boasts 125 acres, housing over 800 residents cared for by over 400 staff members. About 700 independent living residents call Fleet Landing home, living in modern low-rise apartments and single family dwellings. The campus is gated with a 24 hour security staff. Landscaping is a well-maintained and beautiful mixture featuring lots of trees, native plants, and flowers, evolved over the 35 year history of the campus. Campus amenities are like a cruise ship on land, with cafeteria, pub, coffee shop, tapas lounge, upscale dining, and fine dining with several chefs. In addition assisted living units have their own dining facilities and chefs. The campus is an easy walk to the beach. On campus facilities include both an indoor and an outdoor pool, pickleball courts, tennis court, putting green, croquet and bocce-ball court, wood-worker studio, irrigated gardening boxes, library, fully equipped gym, art studio, hair and nail salon, studios for engaging active seniors in classes ranging from balance to ballroom dancing, all with an eye towards senior health maintenance, with resident clubs overseeing many of the more specialized facilities as well as providing more specific activities like monthly wine tastings, book clubs, golf, cards, sailing, knitting, and the like. There's even a dog park and soon to come boardwalk through the wetlands area of the campus. Management is well-versed in effective planning, steadily adding improvements that both add to, enhance, and refurbish campus facilities and residences. Residents are polled annually regarding their campus experience, results used by management and the Board of Directors when setting up the budget each year. A resident's monthly fee covers rent, utilities, internet and cable, property taxes, weekly house-keeping, interior and exterior maintenance, extra person if applicable, and one of the two available meal plans. The Board of Directors includes two residents and regularly engages with the elected Residents Council, whose monthly meetings on the campus climate include management reports. Financial records are summarized monthly via the campus internet portal and fully published and made available in the library. Management also actively engages with the residents with quarterly meetings that address things like planning, financial status, and project progress. A large ballroom style auditorium is regularly used to offer classical and popular music programs, lectures, and events like the annual resident-produced "Fleet Follies", talent shows, military ball, farmer's market, and holiday parties with dining and dancing. The staff regularly puts together excursions to visit interesting sites around Northeast Florida using campus bus services, including things like bus service for downtown monthly concerts offered by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, whose small group ensembles also perform regularly on campus. As a non-profit 501c3 organization, Fleet Landing has established endowments that have accumulated over the campus history to support things like staff scholarships and special campus projects. If you think this is hype, as a now 5-year resident I can attest that it really reflects Fleet Landing campus life, where residents can choose from among any number of activities to socialize and engage in, the kinds of things that history has shown improve both health and life-expectancy. In an area long considered to be a golf mecca, other nearby facilities include the world-famous Mayo Clinic and Jacksonville's massive system of parks, one of which is literally a Fleet Landing neighbor. We are very lucky to have a CCRC of this caliber here in Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville, certainly one of the best to be found nation-wide. I count myself lucky to live here.

This is the one! We visited VL (old & new), CV, and FL-N. FL-AB is to the beach, has tons of group activities, and a wide choice on types of homes / floor plans, making it my clear winner. For retired military, the Mayport exchange, commissary, and base with golf course, bowling, and lots of other facilities is 5-minute drive away. The only unique thing about CV is that everything is in one building; it is very isolated, only close to Mayo. VL may appeal to someone who really wants to be in PVB, but it’s not close to anything except Sawgrass Village. I reserve judgement on FL-N, as it is only now just breaking ground. Nocatee is a unique place, but you have to like traffic and golf carts.

I’ve had the privilege of visiting the Fleet Landing campus in Atlantic Beach on and off for the past 10 years. Over that time, I’ve seen many friends — and now even family members — make Fleet Landing their home. I can honestly say I’ve never heard a single complaint from anyone I know who lives there. In fact, I truly believe Fleet Landing is one of the reasons my loved ones have stayed so vibrant and youthful. The community is constantly evolving, and the amenities are outstanding: multiple restaurants, a state-of-the-art fitness center, sailing and paddle boarding on the stunning Lake Constellation, beautiful pickleball courts, an active croquet club, a newly dedicated putting green, a gorgeous indoor pool, and even a dog park. But what truly sets Fleet Landing apart is the people. The residents form a warm and engaged community, and the staff is simply exceptional. Every team member I’ve interacted with has been kind, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. Fleet Landing isn’t just a place to live — it’s a place to thrive. I look forward to becoming a resident myself one day.

I can’t say enough about this senior living community! From the moment you arrive on Fleet Landing’s campus, you feel the difference—from the calendar of social events to the top-notch fitness programs. They have everything from group classes to personalized training that keeps residents active and engaged! The staff is attentive and caring, the campus is beautifully maintained, and every detail is thoughtfully designed to support comfort, independence, and joy. I highly recommend Fleet Landing for anyone looking for a vibrant, supportive place to call home.

Just moved here. People are so friendly! I have had dozens of invitations to join others for dinner. This really helps to meet residents from all over the complex. Questions are answered quickly and items are taken care of immediately. I feel safe here and there is so much to do. To complain is insane!!

This facility has been a true lifeline for our family- not once, but twice. My mother lived here previously and received such wonderful care that when we found ourselves in an urgent and difficult situation elsewhere, they were gracious enough to move heaven and earth to help us again. They found her a room immediately, and we will never forget that kindness. The care here is exceptional. The staff is attentive, compassionate, and professional. They treat my mother with the respect and warmth every family hopes for, and I can sleep at night knowing she’s in the best hands. She’s safe, thriving, and comfortable. Having her doctor on campus, as well as PT and so many helpful services under one roof, makes a world of difference. Add in restaurants, salon, and full calendar of engaging activities, and it truly feels like a community- not just a facility. I can’t express how grateful I am to have her back where she belongs.

Fleet Landing has it all! A beautiful campus, amazing Residents and staff, a solid history (35 years!), close to the beach, incredible amenities that lend to living a vibrant and healthy lifestyle for anyone interested in WELLInspired continuing care for life--from food to fitness. And an abundance of friendships and fun. ❤️

I went to Fleet Landing rehabilitation after complicated orthopedic surgery. Alert, awake and oriented, I was placed in a wheelchair, whisked off at high speed to get weight. My husband was occupied with someone who never introduced herself to me. I was never given an assessment. Totally ignored. A person, with her back to me, had my husband sign papers. Speaking up, I said I'm over here. The physical therapy department were pleasant, however my orthopedic doctors orders were never viewed or carried out. This was the beginning of a very unpleasant experience.

This review is shared based on my mother's experience- I'd give them 0 stars if that was an option. What heath care facility doesn't require its workers to wash hands between every patient? Especially elderly patients with compromised immune systems and other patients w MERSA?! Washing hands is a simple preventive measure. There is a reason hospitals, doctors' offices and food businesses require ALL employees to wash hands...

Excellent! Caring staff, interesting residents, a tranquil setting. One of the very best places for retirees nationwide. Worth visiting in-person. It will change how you think about "Senior Living."

JUNE 2020- COVID IS RUNNING RAMPANT HERE!! My father is now on his second stay at Fleet Landing as I thought this was the best facility in Jacksonville but they have proven to be one of the worst. If your loved one needs medical attention and additional physical rehab do not bring them to fleet. They will not be taken care of properly. You will not get real-time responses or information from the staff. If they call back at all. Then administration will get shitty with you. If you try to advocate for your loved ones you will be shunned and ignored. Dealing with this pandemic is hard enough without getting accurate information, professional help, trusted clinical staff (and this was after a horrible first stay). They sent my father home saying he could walk, and a normal daily activities. He was complete deadweight and had to use a wheelchair 100%. He could not go to the restroom by himself or anything else. We were told he was walking and doing well. They pushed my father out to the car handed my mom a packet and sent them home. No instructions no updates no status and they failed to mention that someone had tested positive for Covid. They didn't tell us that until the phone call late Saturday afternoon- 4 hours after RELEASE! They told us he had been tested for Covid and was negative. HOWEVER- he actually had pneumonia in his left lung that almost collapsed & completely missed by the medical staff at Fleet and not discovered until the emergency room at Mayo clinic. There is a complete disconnect between the patient and the staff. We are now into a second stay and it is worse than the first. If you love your people do not send in the fleet. Take them to Brooks. It's a further drive but it's definitely worth it if you want your love one to stay alive and be well taken care of. If you'd like more info please contact me at FleetLandingsucks@gmail.com.
