Our Story
The Paradise Center is a year-round organization focused solely on finding ways to help the members of our community live their lives to the fullest. Keeping active, both mentally and physically is fundamental for people of all ages. And navigating life can become more challenging as we age, from complex issues like financial planning and home healthcare to everyday needs such as using a smartphone and transportation. Our wide variety of classes, seminars and workshops offer something for everyone! We are also home to a medical suite with a group of rotating medical practices including primary care, podiatry, dermatology and more. For many years Longboat Key was an underserved medical community, but our medical suite now allows individuals to receive top-notch medical care without have to cross a bridge.
