What makes this assisted living/memory care facility truly special is the family atmosphere. The staff, residents, and families all treat each other with so much love, kindness, and respect. It never feels like “just a job” here. Everyone genuinely cares about one another and works together like one big family. The staff go above and beyond every day to make residents feel safe, comfortable, heard, and loved. You can tell they build real relationships with the residents, and that kind of compassion is hard to find. There is always laughter, support, and a warm welcoming feeling throughout the building. Nothing brings you peace of mind like knowing your loved ones are surrounded by people who truly care for them like their own family members. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place filled with compassion, patience, and genuine heart.
Strive is a very clean, safe and friendly home. It even has a lovely garden where one can sit, relax and enjoy the plants and flowers. The staff is exceptionally kind and took wonderful care of my sister.
Kalub is amazing! He cares for the residents and wants nothing but the best for the community and the people that live there. Highly recommend living here.

I brought my parents earlier this year and I can only say that everyone that works here actually wants to work and help. I'm very grateful to Strive for being a safe place for my parents to live as moving them was not easy. They have slowly come around to accepting their new life and it's been a great experience but I'm so glad we decided to go here
Great place. Mom loves living there, activities everyday and friendly staff.
For anyone interested in an Assistant Living Facility I would like to recommend Strive in Fern Park. My wife has been in the Memory Care Unit since November 2020 with dementia. I joined her in March of this year when my car became disabled. The facility is exceptionally clean. The food is very good especially breakfast that could compete with any eatery in Seminole County. They have various activities including Bingo and incoming live entertainment numerous times each month. Lastly the residents are from all over the country and most of them are extremely outgoing.
This facility is very clean and staff is extremely friendly and helpful it has a warm atmosphere
The staff go above and beyond to provide outstanding care with genuine compassion. The community is vibrant, welcoming, and full of life—from engaging activities to delicious meals and beautifully maintained spaces. You can truly feel the warmth here. My loved one is not just living here—they're *thriving*. Highly recommend Strive to anyone looking for a senior living home that truly feels like family! 🌟
