IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care.
City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total monetary fines or penalties in the reporting window from the state source. A single large fine can dominate this figure.

Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.

Overview of Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore

Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore sits at 2516 W. Lakeshore Dr in Tallahassee, about 3 miles out from downtown. The walk score here lands at 45 out of 100, which means it’s somewhat walkable. You could probably grab a few things on foot, but for most errands, you’re going to want a car or the community’s transportation help.

The building has 160 beds split between studio and one-bedroom units, running from 340 up to 495 square feet. This is both an assisted living and memory care community, so there’s support for residents who need a higher level of daily care alongside those with memory-related needs. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff around the clock, and respite care is available too, which is handy for families who just need short-term coverage. Staff speak English and Spanish, so language barriers shouldn’t get in the way of good communication with residents and their families.

There’s a real activity lineup here; residents can take cooking classes, join dance sessions, hit exercise classes, sit down for cards or games, get their hands dirty in the garden, or catch a movie night. Music programs, yoga, shopping trips, and group outings round things out. Pets are welcome too, which matters more than people sometimes expect when someone’s leaving behind a longtime companion to move into a new place.

On the financial side, Tapestry accepts Medicaid, which opens the door for a lot of families who couldn’t otherwise afford this level of care. State inspectors who review this kind of community typically look at things like medication management, staff training and credentials, environmental safety, and how well resident rights get protected day to day. Those are the standard categories regulators check across every assisted living facility in Florida, not anything unique to this one.

Put it all together and you get a community built around two things at once: structured, round-the-clock care for residents who need it, and a packed activity schedule for people who still want full days. That combination, plus Medicaid acceptance, makes Tapestry a realistic option for a wider range of families than a lot of private-pay-only communities can serve.

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 1062 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.
