Overview of Living Southern Style of Brevard

Living Southern Style of Brevard operates a 6-bed assisted living community at 1721 Rockledge Drive in the River Ridge neighborhood of Rockledge, Brevard County, Florida. Sheila Mobley administers the single-story facility for Living Southern Style of Brevard LLC, a for-profit entity.

Despite its small footprint as 931st out of 1,065 Florida assisted living facilities by bed count, the community accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, expanding access beyond private-pay models. Insurance, CHAMPUS, VA benefits, and workers compensation are also accepted. The current resident census stands at 5–7 individuals; staff-to-resident ratios are 1–2 caregivers per 5–7 residents, with low turnover reported.

The regulatory history reveals a facility in operational transition.

From May 2013 through October 2023, inspectors conducted 16 inspections, with all but one citing deficiencies: 32 line-item deficiencies across the period, concentrated in building maintenance, records/documentation, resident care/rights, and emergency planning. Over the more recent seven-year window (2019–2023), citation patterns tightened: 17 total inspections yielded 33 citations (level with state average), but with denser concentration per visit (1.9 per inspection vs. 1.3 state average). The October 19, 2023 inspection marked a turning point; it was the first inspection yielding zero deficiencies, following documented corrections. This clean report suggests the facility addressed systemic gaps in maintenance and documentation protocols.

Fines were modest: $1,700 across two citations (85% lower than state average), with zero legal enforcement actions.

Operationally, the facility emphasizes home-prepared meals in a family-style dining setting, personalized activity programming, flexible shower arrangements, and flat-rate pricing. Activities span arts and crafts, cooking classes, dancing, exercise, games, gardening, music programs, shopping trips, and social outings. Transportation and recreational therapy are available. The location is car-dependent (walk score 23), positioned 2.6 miles from Rockledge city center.

The facility serves smaller-census residents seeking Medicare or Medicaid–supported care in a personal, intimate community, contingent on the facility’s sustained compliance trajectory demonstrated by the clean 2023 inspection.
