Overview of Harborchase of Villages Crossing

Harborchase of Villages Crossing is a 135-bed senior community that provides assisted living, transitional memory care, and short-term respite stays. Starting at a base rate of $5,495 per month, the property features multiple dining venues, a wellness center, an art studio, a salon and spa, and a cocktail lounge alongside housekeeping, laundry, and daily activity coordination.

State compliance documents tracked across 42 evaluations since 2014 show a total of 42 line-item deficiencies, averaging 2.5 citations per year. This frequency performs roughly 46% better than the typical Florida state average, though, because 41 of those 42 evaluations historically noted a minor required fix, the facility has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reports.

Historical records include minor citations spanning medication logs, staffing standards, and environmental controls, alongside a past enforcement log showing four administrative fines totaling $11,800. However, public records highlight a major trend toward consistent management recently; the property’s three most recent inspections, conducted in late 2023 and twice during 2024, all returned completely clear with no regulatory violations.

Interested individuals scanning local senior housing profiles can look to this extensive dataset to weigh the home’s operational trends. Since the public logs point to past administrative and medication record hurdles that have been fully resolved to achieve multiple consecutive clean inspections, the data reflects an attentive management framework. Scheduling a personal tour is a practical next step to check out the on-site dining options firsthand, look over the wellness center layout, and ask the administration about their specialized memory care programming.

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Florida) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
