An inspired partnership with UCF
Researched and planned by the thought leaders at the University of Central Florida, Legacy Pointe at UCF was created as a best-in-class community for seniors seeking to maintain a physically and intellectually active lifestyle in their retirement years.
Did you know? Legacy Pointe at UCF Residents have access to a reduced-rate membership to the UCF Recreation and Wellness Center.
Legacy Pointe is located just off the main UCF campus, making it easy to take advantage of our deep working relationship with the University that offers new ways for residents to grow, engage and connect. This affiliation is an intellectually rich partnership that benefits both communities, and it’s one of the most important aspects of our community that sets Legacy Pointe at UCF apart from traditional senior living options.
LIFE: The Learning Institute for Elders at UCF
The LIFE program at UCF is one of the key benefits of Legacy Pointe’s connection to UCF. LIFE at UCF offers weekly learning programs in both classroom and online formats, as well as community experiences and opportunities to participate in important research. This is an incredible opportunity to connect with UCF students and faculty in a relaxed but rewarding educational program. All independent living Lifecare residents at Legacy Pointe are automatically enrolled as members, while other residents on campus can take advantage of shared learning sessions broadcast in the auditorium.
A multigenerational experience
The energy on a collegiate campus, especially one as vibrant as UCF, is special. Every resident at Legacy Pointe gets a UCF student ID card that opens up a range of engaging lecture series, classes, and so much more. Beyond these classroom and guest speaker opportunities, residents also have access to concerts, plays, fun sporting events and other cultural and entertainment events year-round.
The connection with UCF is a mutually beneficial type of relationship, where residents get a chance to be around and be energized by young people, while also having opportunities to share their wealth of knowledge and experience gained in their careers through guest speaker opportunities and more.
