"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."

- Edna Hindson

"The affiliation with the University of Florida and the proximity to Shands makes Oak Hammock the ideal place to live. We're looking forward to meeting lots of interesting people."

- Ray and Shirley Sutcliffe

"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

"Oak Hammock is amazing. It's like living in a resort. We were also attracted by the community's commitment to wellness. Staying intellectually and physically fit is important to us."

- John and Kay Lowe
