Suncoast Retreat ALF
Suncoast Retreat Alf is an 84-bed, for-profit assisted living community operated by Equity Properties, LLC, and managed by administrator Christopher Damiani. The veteran-owned property provides 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants for long-term, short-term, and respite care. The facility works with Medicaid, VA benefits, and private insurance. It features bilingual staff fluent in English and Spanish, home-style meals, and daily activities like arts, gardening, and outings.
State records covering 13 years and 65 inspections show around 75 deficiencies, which averages out to 4.2 citations per year. While this volume is slightly lower than the Florida state baseline, every single inspection over the facility’s history turned up at least one violation, resulting in a zero citations-per-inspection rate. Recurring problem areas include medication records, staff training, and background screenings.
State regulators have visited this building 158% more often than the state average, which has resulted in four fines totaling $6,000 but no severe enforcement actions. Recent reviews from 2024 and 2025 show a mix of random violations alongside some clean complaint investigations.
Families looking over their care options will want to consider how this frequent inspection history fits with the level of care their relative needs. It is a good idea to ask the administration for written updates on their background screening and staff training processes to see if older issues have been fixed. Booking an in-person tour to watch how the staff interacts with residents during busy daytime hours can also give you a better sense of daily operations.
