Ask about this communitySanctuary by Strive at Bear Lake is an assisted living community in Apopka, Florida. Property information describes a single-story building of about 6,048 square feet on a site just under an acre. A senior-living portfolio page reports that the facility was renovated in 2022 and has eight full bathrooms designed to meet ADA accessibility standards. Another property record dates the original construction to 1972.
Listed care services include medication management, assistance with bathing and dressing, support with activities of daily living, and help with transfers. The care listing also includes 24-hour supervision, non-ambulatory care and wheelchair accessibility. These services describe the kinds of assistance associated with the residence; the available information does not specify individual care plans or the level of support for each resident.
Furnished rooms are listed, though the available descriptions do not establish a single room configuration. Practical services and features include an emergency alert system, housekeeping, laundry or dry-cleaning service, and move-in coordination. The building description notes a full kitchen with a walk-in refrigerator and freezer, as well as an emergency generator. The community’s official photo gallery labels living and family rooms, bedrooms, a closet, a patio, a shower and a salon.
Meals are described as homestyle and dietitian-approved, served on a scheduled basis in a dining room. Dining information also lists meal preparation and service, set menus, and accommodations for special dietary needs, including allergy-sensitive and diabetes diets. In-house salon services are identified on the community’s own page. An activities calendar is intended to reflect residents’ interests and whole-person wellness. Listed options range from arts and crafts, cooking classes and gardening to dancing, exercise classes and yoga. Other examples include games and cards, music programs, theater and movies, social events, shopping and outings.
These offerings cover creative, physical and social activities, but the available descriptions do not say how often each is scheduled. One community profile lists a minimum age of 55, says pets are not permitted, and notes that Veterans Affairs benefits are accepted. Those details are specific to that listing and may be useful when considering the community’s stated policies and payment options.
The surrounding area is described as car-dependent, with most errands requiring a vehicle. A property listing places the facility within six miles of two major hospitals and gives estimated driving times of five minutes to I-4 and two minutes to State Road 414. The listing also describes access to these major roads, providing context for local travel and nearby medical facilities.

The staff, the food, and the care are amazing at this facility. They take care of their residents, making safety the #1 priority and quality of life a close second. Highly recommend them!
My grandpa has been at Strive for a few months now and we couldn’t be happier with the facility as well as the staff. Lynette was such a help in getting him settled and calming our fears about how he would do. The entire staff has been so loving, caring, and attentive to all of his needs. The transition was smoother than we could have ever expected and he’s very happy! If you’re looking for a facility that loves your loved ones as if they’re their own, Strive is exactly where you want your family member to be.
