Description of Camellia at Deerwood

An active retirement community for seniors, Camellia at Deerwood provides all the services and amenities one could desire for a luxurious retirement lifestyle. In addition to all of our premium features, we are located just minutes away from shopping at St. Johns Town Center, medical services at Baptist Medical Center or St. Vincent's Medical Center, golf at the Jacksonville Golf & Country Club and even continuing education classes at the University of North Florida.

Camellia at Deerwood is managed by Leisure Care. A company that has been a leader in senior living for over 30 years, Leisure Care has become legendary for its commitment to quality services.

Featured Amenities

Residents of our community enjoy their stay in either a studio, one- or two-bedroom apartment, each outfitted with full kitchens, individually controlled heating and air-conditioning, and even basic cable TV service. We are a pet-friendly community, so residents are welcome to have their furry loved ones come along with them.

True restaurant dining is enjoyed each day in our elegant community dining room, while snacks and other treats are found in the bistro. To stay in shape, seniors can participate in a fitness program, enjoy strolling through our community grounds and take advantage of our PrimeFit gym. When looking to work on a personal project, our Creative Gallery is ideal for finding your inner artist.

Available Services

When a resident needs to go off site, we offer the added convenience of scheduled transportation via luxury town car or air-conditioned shuttle bus. To help guarantee a relaxing retirement experience, we provide all accommodations with weekly housekeeping services.

Although Camellia at Deerwood caters to Jacksonville's active, independent seniors, we know that everyone needs some help now and again. Rest assured, when the time comes, our Five-Star Assisted Living Services are available. We believe that assistance with these daily tasks is just one part of attending to a person's overall health and wellness. We also offer specialized memory care in a brand-new memory care neighborhood for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia.

Camellia at Deerwood takes all the hassle out of retirement and provides the ideal place to enjoy senior living at its best.

We really like the location of Camellia at Deerwood. The facilities are amazing. It exceeds our expectations on the rooms, on the food, and on the service people. They are just wonderful. It is also about 20 minutes from my friend's family. My friend really likes the room a lot. It has a full kitchen with a stove and a refrigerator.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We chose Camellia at Deerwood for my mother because it's clean, they seem to have a really good staff, and the pricing for the care is pretty good. I don't smell any odor when I walk around the place, and the people are happy with the food. They have a lot of activities. They take them via van to any of their needs, from doctor's appointments, shopping, to the mall, and the theater. They have an indoor theater and Wii bowling which my mother enjoys. They play a lot of cards, mahjong, bridge, and things like that. There are also sing-alongs and Christmas carols. They do quite a lot with these people; I'm surprised. What stood out to me is that they have pretty big units with plenty of space. The rooms are bright and cheerful with colors, so you get a lot of light. The community has about 180 people. They have a hair salon, dining room, a swimming pool with handicapped ramp, various exercise facilities, and library. There's a lot of staff. My mother is still adjusting. She now has a place in the dining table with all the people that she sits with regularly. The staff is good, including the nurses and cleaning staff. Overall, she seems satisfied with the food. The cleanliness is one of the things I was looking forward to. The only thing that makes the pricing high is they try to get you into their care packages. The other places we've looked at were nowhere near this one.

I liked Victoria, the salesperson at Camellia at Deerwood. She showed me where the dining, recreation, and different apartments were, which I liked. They have a pool. I liked the social end of it. I have a dog and I'll be able to keep him with me since they have an area for dogs. The place is well-kept and clean.

Camellia was excellent. It's a new building, but it's crowded and in a very congested area, which I didn't like. It was expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for. There's an outdoor pool and quite a few activities. I had lunch and it was good. The staff seemed very pleasant and very friendly.

Camellia at Deerwood gave the impression of a vacation resort. Everything's very shiny, very neat, and very polished. The rooms were almost like suites, instead of apartments. They had a huge swimming pool and a little library that had books, puzzle tables, computers, and there were residents playing cards.

I Am/Was A Resident Of This Facility

I am very happy here at Camellia at Deerwood. It is a fantastic place. The dining area is very big with lots of tables, but I haven’t eaten there yet. They offer lots of physical activities and brain activities. We have sing-along at 3 o'clock. The residents are very friendly, and I love it here.
