Overview of Forest Trace Senior Living

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

Forest Trace Senior Living is a 262-bed facility that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and age-restricted apartment options alongside on-site physical therapy and short-term respite care. Backed by 24-hour staffing, the property features a heated swimming pool, a yoga and pilates studio, fitness classes, and regular dining services. The community is supported by a multilingual staff fluent in English, Spanish, and Creole.

State compliance documents covering 32 separate inspections since 2015 record a total of 38 line-item deficiencies, creating an annual average of 3.5 citations that sits about 15% higher than the typical Florida benchmark. Because 31 of those 32 regulatory visits turned up at least one minor infraction on initial paperwork, the home holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for unblemished reviews. Historical files highlight recurring issues with building maintenance, resident care, infection control, staff training logs, and emergency planning.

The provider’s enforcement profile includes three administrative fines totaling $25,500, and the most recent routine evaluation from July 15, 2025, noted seven deficiencies spanning resident care, personnel files, safety, and infection protocols, following a clean monitoring visit earlier that April.

Interested individuals researching local senior housing choices should carefully evaluate these long-term government monitoring trends. Since public health records show an elevated citation history alongside several fines and ongoing 2025 notes regarding building maintenance and staff training files, asking the current management team to outline their modern corrective actions is an important safeguard. Setting up an on-site visit is a practical next step to check the actual physical condition of the building yourself, view the common spaces, and talk with the supervisors about their updated compliance plans.
