Living Well Every Day in a Comforting, Connected Community

Our Memory Care community offers a safe, nurturing environment where residents can feel at ease. With beautifully designed dining rooms, comforting common areas, and thoughtfully structured activity spaces, we naturally encourage engagement, social interaction, and the development of supportive friendships—all within a secure, familiar setting.

At Discovery Commons South Biscayne, continual care throughout the stages of aging is redefined by our Extended Congregate Care License (ECC). As the only community in North Port with the ECC license, we are able to care for our residents beyond traditional assisted living options. Contact the community to learn the benefits of our ECC license for you or your loved one.

“We just returned from spending a few days with my father-in-law who has recently moved to Discovery Commons. Our experience could not have been any better. Spending time there is like being in a small town. Residents know and check in with each other and the staff is very responsive. We felt like we belonged from the moment we walked in."

Byron M.

Son-in-law of a Resident

"My mom, now 98, has been a resident at Discovery Commons for over five years. We are very impressed with the beautiful facility, its cleanliness, and layout. The care team is great and folks in the administrative offices are very responsive to our needs. As time has gone on, we have required higher levels of care and are very thankful for the leadership of the nursing director and her staff. In summary, we highly recommend Discovery Commons to others.”
