Vick Street Manor is an 87-bed assisted living facility located in Port Charlotte, Florida, operated by Best Care Senior Living At Port Charlotte LLC and managed by administrator Katie Wadsworth. Operating for 15 years within Charlotte County, the property sits in a car-dependent suburban neighborhood with a Walk Score of zero. The residential community provides multiple tiers of support, integrating independent living, standard assisted living, specialized memory care, extended congregate care, and limited mental health programming.
State data from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration reflect a standard historical baseline, documenting 58 total deficiencies across 54 inspection cycles over 13 years. This frequency averages 4.5 citations per year, matching the Florida statewide average. The most recent routine field review in August 2025 identified a single deficiency regarding facility elopement standards. Historical compliance files from earlier cycles show recurring citations in areas such as resident care supervision, medication assistance, food service standards, physical plant safety, and staff training records for first aid and dementia care. While the provider has been assessed 10 historical administrative fines totaling $34,500, public registries indicate no active federal penalties, immediate jeopardy findings, or severe license freezes.
Daily care systems rely on 24-hour staffing models to execute individualized care plans and deliver on-site nursing services. Internal teams coordinate scheduled community transportation, manage physical rehabilitation tracks, and prepare nutritious meals and snacks daily. The recreational department hosts a regular calendar of activities, including arts and crafts, fitness classes, music programs, dancing, group games, cooking classes, social outings, and movie screenings. The billing department accepts varied financial structures, including private insurance/HMO policies, Medicaid waivers, Veteran Affairs benefits, and workers’ compensation.
Prospective residents requiring extended congregate care or specialized behavioral oversight can utilize the facility’s multi-tier licensing to support escalating medical demands. The 87-bed campus accommodates individuals who need daily nursing assistance or temporary respite stays while transitioning from a hospital setting.
