Overview of Diamond Edgewater

Diamond Edgewater is a 78-bed facility providing assisted living, specialized memory care, short-term respite stays, and rehabilitation services. The campus features an outdoor swimming pool, a shuffleboard court, a fitness gym, a bistro bar, an on-site theater room, and a full-service salon. Residents have access to 24-hour nursing support, restaurant-style meals, daily room safety checks, and an emergency call system. Financial assistance plans are accommodated through the acceptance of Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State health department logs tracking nine separate evaluations between August 2019 and November 2024 record a total of 18 line-item deficiencies, averaging just 0.4 citations per year. This frequency beats the standard Florida benchmark by 91%. Because six of those nine regulatory visits turned up zero initial infractions, the property maintains a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews.

The data shows a single historical incident in May 2022 where inspectors flagged two minor issues regarding risk management and visitation protocols, which the team quickly corrected. Operational consistency remains strong, as three consecutive inspections spanning from December 2023 through the final November 2024 review all came back completely clean. The provider has never faced any financial fines or state enforcement actions.

Prospective representatives researching local long-term care environments can use these public health summaries to verify the facility’s operational history. Since the official tracking records show a very low citation count and zero fines alongside an extended run of perfect state evaluations up through the end of the tracking cycle, the documentation points to a highly compliant management framework. Planning an on-site visit is a great next step to check out the building layout, view the recreational amenities, and talk with the team about care options.
