Lake Morton Plaza was recognized as a Finalist for “Best Independent Living” by The Ledger in the Fifth Annual “Best of Central Florida” 2020 Community Choice Awards. More than 450 businesses in the Central Florida area representing a full range of categories were recognized as award winners. To earn a coveted spot on the “Best of Central Florida” list, readers of The Ledger in Central Florida cast their online ballots for service providers they consider the best in their particular category.

“We are extremely proud of Lake Morton Plaza earning a Finalist position on the Ledger’s “Best of Central Florida” for Independent Living,” said Gloria Hughes, Meridian Senior Living Vice President of Operations. “Additionally, we are grateful to all of our dedicated team members for delivering outstanding services to our residents so that they live the full life they deserve.” 

Located at 400 S Florida Ave in Lakeland, FL, Lake Morton Plaza offers independent living and assisted living services to seniors with options of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The community is open and admitting new residents for move-ins. In these times of isolation, it has been particularly difficult for older adults who may not have options to go out to obtain necessary items or connect with others as society reopens. Walking trails and close proximity to parks, shopping and cultural activities underscore the community's focus on active living: daily engaging and social activities, a dining experience with multiple dining options and venues, and the highest quality of care in a safe manner.
