Offering assisted living and memory care, Gardens at Maplewood is a small senior living community in the Maplewood neighborhood of Coral Springs, Florida. The residential-style home cares for just 6 residents at a time. The quieter setting may provide more personal attention than a larger community.
Residents are served home-cooked meals that reflect the home’s residential atmosphere rather than an institutional facility. Pets are welcome in the community. Transportation services, fitness and recreation programs help residents stay active and engaged.
Gardens at Maplewood is about 1.5 miles from Broward Health Coral Springs, keeping hospital care within easy reach if residents need it. The community is also about 2.3 miles from downtown Coral Springs. The area has a Walk Score of 18, which means it’s car-dependent. Most errands and outings require driving rather than walking.
Legacy Pointe at Ucf is an 86-bed, non-profit community offering assisted living, memory support, and rehabilitation services. The facility features a formal partnership with the University of Florida system, 24-hour staffing, short-term respite care, and an average of 6 hours and 7 minutes of nursing attention per resident each day.
Government compliance logs stretching across the property’s three years of operation detail 10 total citations across eight distinct state evaluations. This overall volume calculates to 1.8 infractions per year, which outpaces the standard Florida baseline by 61%. Because each of these eight visits turned up at least one regulatory mark, the facility has rarely maintained a zero citations-per-inspection rate for an entirely unblemished review.
The community initially opened in 2022 and cleared its early 2023 reviews with no issues, but state files show a notable shift during an August 2024 routine audit that uncovered five deficiencies involving medication storage, food service, and elopement precautions. Although the team secured a clear complaint review in late 2024, back-to-back complaint investigations in April and August of 2025 each resulted in a single Class 2 citation regarding resident care supervision. To date, the provider has never been penalized with financial fines or severe administrative state actions.
Families looking over regional senior care choices can analyze these multi-year timelines to track the facility’s recent operational adjustments. Since the latest 2025 health department filings highlight challenges regarding staff supervision and older notes on dietary standards, requesting a detailed overview from the administration about their updated safety training is a sensible precaution. Arranging an in-person tour also remains an excellent method to observe the physical therapy areas yourself and see how the staff handles daily memory care routines.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Florida
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Florida?
Assisted living in Florida supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?
Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Florida Medicaid cover assisted living?
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.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 1049 assisted living facilities in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Florida?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Florida, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Florida?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
