After years of quiet living in the mountains of North Carolina, Barbara Lackey realized she was ready for a new chapter — one filled with friendship, activity, and purpose. That search led her to Acts Mease Life, located in the heart of Dunedin, FL.
What she found was far more than a beautiful apartment with sweeping views. She discovered a vibrant, welcoming community where connection is part of everyday life. Her journey proves what research continues to show: staying socially engaged supports emotional wellness, cognitive health, and overall longevity. Strong relationships, paired with opportunities for fitness, culture, and shared experiences, contribute to a richer, more fulfilling lifestyle.
At Acts Mease Life, that sense of belonging is intentional. Rooted in a culture of Loving-Kindness, the community encourages residents to build meaningful friendships, pursue personal interests, and enjoy each day with confidence — backed by the reassurance of a full continuum of care, maintenance-free living, and proximity to trusted medical services.
For Barbara, the greatest comfort comes in the simplicity of being known, valued, and surrounded by people who care.
