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.

Overview of A Country Place Assisted Living Facility

A Country Place Assisted Living Facility, at 10515 Memorial Hwy in Tampa’s Town N Country Alliance neighborhood, covers a lot of ground: assisted living, memory care, respite care, and adult day care, all under one operator. Villas Of Tampa, LLC runs it, with Robert Alan Loomis as administrator. Staff here speak both English and Spanish, which matters more than people sometimes realize when a family is trying to communicate clearly about a loved one’s care.

The building itself is single-story, 24 beds, split between private and semi-private rooms. Walkability sits in the middle of the range, a Walk Score of 37 out of 100, somewhat walkable, so a few errands are doable on foot but most still call for a car or a ride.

On the care side, there’s a doctor on staff plus licensed nurses and CNAs, and respite care is available for families who need a short-term stay rather than a permanent move. The adult day care option adds real flexibility here too, useful for families who need daytime support without a full residential commitment.

Daily life includes transportation services and a genuine activity lineup: exercise classes, gardening, and organized social events and outings among them. Insurance and HMO plans, Medicaid, and VA benefits are all accepted, which opens up several ways to actually pay for care. Inspections at this facility have tended to focus on staffing and staff credentials specifically, rather than anything touching direct resident care.

Four care types, bilingual staff, and a real activity calendar: that’s an unusually flexible setup for a single 24-bed community, one built for families whose care needs might shift between residential, respite, and daytime support over time.

Overview of The Grove at Countryside

The Grove at Countryside offers independent living, assisted living and memory care in Clearwater, FL.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels on one campus may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without leaving the community.

The community has 131 beds. Housing options include studio, one bedroom and two bedroom residences, with a studio providing a single private space and a two bedroom residence accommodating a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. There are several ways to choose a living arrangement. A Walk Score of 66 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby destinations independently. Payment options include insurance and/or HMO. Kelsey Dirusso serves as administrator, and Vc Csh operates the community.

Medicaid is accepted, which matters for a family whose savings may not cover a long stay. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. Mary Noss serves as the administrator. Meals prepared by executive chefs are served in a restaurant-style dining setting, with special diets available for residents with dietary needs.

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.
