Assisted Living & Memory Care · Mayo, FL
Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility accepts Medicaid and Veteran Affairs Benefits.
Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility is a 36-bed memory care community specializing in care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and progressive dementia. The property features 24-hour staffing, secure perimeter accommodations, medication assistance, dietitian-approved meals, housekeeping, and transportation coordination alongside cognitive engagement activities like exercise, gardening, and crafts. Financial assistance through Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits is accepted.
Government health department summaries recorded since 2014 show a total of 18 infractions spread across 18 separate regulatory visits. On a comparative scale, this citation count performs roughly 45% better than the state average for typical Florida senior communities. Since each historical oversight check turned up some type of minor required fix, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on initial audits.
While older files pointed to low-level physical plant safety and building upkeep tasks, the operator resolved those items and established a strong modern compliance record. This trend is underscored by back-to-back flawless reviews during both the March 2024 inspection and the most recent evaluation from October 2024. Furthermore, state regulators have never issued any financial penalties or severe administrative orders against the business.
Prospective representatives researching specialized dementia placement options can take reassurance from this multi-year run of stable compliance outcomes. Because public records verify that earlier building maintenance notes were fully corrected, giving way to an entirely clean track record throughout 2024, the data points to an attentive administrative framework. Scheduling an on-site walkthrough is an excellent way to inspect the perimeter security yourself, view the common spaces, and talk with the team about how they organize their daily memory support routines.
