Retiring in Clermont, Florida as an LGBTQIA+ Older Adult

Benton House of Clermont offers assisted living, memory care under the operator's GLOW program, and short-term respite care, at 16401 Good Hearth Boulevard in Clermont, west of Orlando. It holds Florida assisted living license AL number 12491 and is operated by TerraBella Senior Living. Apartments run from a 330 square foot suite through a 400 square foot deluxe suite to one-bedroom homes between 378 and 552 square feet. Memory care offers a 330 square foot suite and a 400 square foot companion suite. Pricing is behind an inquiry form rather than published, so expect to ask. Respite care is worth noting separately for anyone reading this as a caregiver rather than for themselves. It covers a trial stay, recovery after a hospital admission, or simply a break, and a trial stay is a genuinely useful way to find out how a community treats a couple or an individual before anyone commits to moving. This community is listed here because a published guide to LGBTQIA+ senior housing names it as offering an inclusive, discrimination-free environment. That is a third party's characterization rather than a credential the community holds, and it is not the same as documented staff training. Ask directly what training staff receive and whether the nondiscrimination policy names sexual orientation and gender identity.
