Upside Jacksonville

Upside regularly organizes meet-up events at our apartments and in the community for members who are interested. (No pressure!) We organize group reservations to favorite local restaurants so Upside members can enjoy a meal and like-minded companionship. We get to know the interests of our members’ interests and curate activities, outings and events that cater to the way they want to spend time.

Traditional senior living often boxes residents into smaller apartments with the trade-off of common spaces like game rooms, cafeterias, and exercise facilities. At Upside, we’re different. Your common area depends on the luxury apartment building you choose. Most of our homes offer courtyards with greenspace, walking paths, fitness facilities, clubhouses with common rooms and cafes, and swimming pools. All of them provide accessible parking, in-home laundry, modern appliances and finishes, and on-site security.

"Absolutely. And our members have an option to join Upside+, which adds another layer of care. Upside+ members get twice-daily visits from a certified nursing assistant (CNA), plus the following services: Medication reminders Safety checks Escorts to meals/activities Meal preparation Gourmet meal pick-up & delivery Free grocery delivery Mail and newspaper delivery Assistance with everyday needs, on-site and on-demand Pet car Dog walking Cat litter help Light housework Laundry service Change bed linen Transportation Shopping/errands

Upside members can order gourmet meals to be delivered, or request grocery delivery service if they prefer to prepare their own dishes. There is no set menu, which is what our members love. And there is no meal plan schedule with monthly requirements. You choose. Plus, we can arrange for restaurant meal delivery so they can sit down to their favorites without leaving home.

Upside members are generally residents ages 50 and older who enjoy their independence but recognize the value of transitioning into a lifestyle that gives them services and support that can grow with them as they age. Our members do not want to commit to a traditional senior living environment. But they want to free themselves of the tiresome everyday tasks that can start to feel overwhelming. Upside members’ families might live far away and want peace of mind that they are connected to amenities and resources. Or perhaps they are close by but raising their own families and want to know there’s a compassionate, always on-call care concierge who all of them can depend on. Upside members enjoy entertainment. They like to dine at their favorite restaurants or have groceries delivered so they can enjoy a quiet meal on their balcony. And some members are private and they want to age gracefully, independently and without being forced into a “program.”

All Upside homes are staffed with on-site security, and our members have access to a Home Manager who can provide check-ins for peace of mind.

If you have a cat or dog, there are Upside homes that offer play spaces, walking paths, and even pet wash stations. If it’s pouring down rain and you don’t want to walk your dog, reach out to your Home Manager. We’ll take care of it.
