"We liked the concept of a community that offered life care. And we wanted to make decisions about our future as a couple. Odds are we'll have some medical needs in the future. At Oak Hammock, we won't have to worry about it - and neither will our children."

- Charles and Margaret Sidman

"I'm a pragmatist, and I always plan ahead. I made a conscious decision to take charge of my future while I'm young enough to enjoy all the advantages that a community like Oak Hammock has to offer."

"I think in terms of physical well-being, so I was looking for a community that focused on preventive healthcare and offered a good wellness program. Oak Hammock certainly provides that. Plus, I'm interested in learning - so I found the Institute of Learning in Retirement very attractive."

- Mary Alice Harding

"Oak Hammock is the ideal situation. We looked at other communities, and they were nice -- but none compared to Oak Hammock. It's independent and unstructured - and if you ever have future healthcare needs, the solutions are all here. But, the connection and affiliation with the University of Florida made it the 'best of the best."

- Nancy Green
