They are in their mid-seventies, so being closer to family is a leading priority.

We are trying to do some initial research for them. There only retirement community in the Winter Haven-Lake Wales area that we know of is Lake Ashton. Has anyone lived there? Know anyone that lives there now? Visited there recently? Have any impressions of the community? Pros – cons. Any information on Lake Ashton, (or any other 55+ community in the WH-LW) area, would be appreciated.

We know the things that make TV great but never really looked anywhere else, so any information on Lake Ashton is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Waverunner, A good place to start may be 55+ Communities | Active Adult Retirement Communities | 55 Places, which lists 55 and better communities all over the U.S., including ones in the Winter Haven-Lakeland area (17 communities in this area are listed).

Hope that is helpful.
