About Solaris Healthcare Waterman

+
Solaris Healthcare Waterman provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation care in Tavares, Florida — the heart of Lake County and a city that proudly calls itself America's Seaplane City. Located on Waterman Way, the facility's name honors the area's deep ties to AdventHealth Waterman, the full-service hospital situated just across the way, making this one of the most medically connected skilled nursing locations in Central Florida. Tavares sits at the center of the Harris Chain of Lakes, a stunning network of interconnected lakes including Lake Dora, Lake Harris, and Lake Eustis. The waterfront downtown area on Lake Dora features a scenic seaplane base, lakeside restaurants, and a charming marina district that gives the entire community an unhurried, welcoming character. For residents in recovery and their visiting families, this lakeside setting provides a genuinely restorative backdrop. Solaris Healthcare, the center's management company, operates a network of skilled nursing facilities across Florida with a focus on outcomes-driven rehabilitation, clinical excellence, and compassionate long-term care. The interdisciplinary team at Waterman includes skilled nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and social services staff who coordinate every aspect of each resident's care journey — from admission through discharge planning. For family members visiting from nearby communities, downtown Tavares offers waterfront dining along Lake Dora and easy access to Mount Dora's renowned antique shops and restaurant row just minutes away. Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills is a short drive west for a more leisurely outing. Renninger's Antique Center and the charming streets of downtown Mount Dora provide additional options for a pleasant afternoon. With immediate proximity to AdventHealth Waterman, a lakeside setting, and the proven care standards of Solaris Healthcare, Solaris Healthcare Waterman stands out as a premier skilled nursing destination in Lake County.
