Operated by VOP Anthem Lakes, LLC, the community accommodates 136 residents and offers wide services designed for general assisted living and specialized memory care support.

Overview of Park of the Palms

Park of the Palms is a 40-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care home. The broader campus features independent living units, an RV park, guest lodging, an events center, and 24-hour staffing. Specialized cognitive support is managed through the property’s Gilbert Lodge memory care program, which is structured to handle various stages of dementia.

Health department documentation spanning 13 years logs 21 total deficiencies across 21 separate visits, which averages out to 1.6 citations per year. Because every single inspection historically turned up at least one minor issue, the facility has a long-term history of missing a zero citations-per-inspection rate for perfect reviews.

Earlier evaluations primarily flagged repetitive problems with administrative paperwork and resident care rights. However, the data highlights a major upward trend over the last five years, with the home averaging just 0.8 deficiencies annually, a rate 83% better than the Florida baseline. Spotless reviews were recorded in 2019 and 2023, and the most recent routine evaluation from May 2025 also came back completely clear. The state has never issued any financial fines or severe enforcement actions against the provider.

Interested individuals looking over regional care options can take reassurance from the community’s strong regulatory performance in recent years. Since the older files show past difficulties with resident documentation and record-keeping that have since been resolved, the current data reflects a well-organized and stable management team. It is still a good idea to schedule an on-site visit to inspect the campus layout yourself and speak with the admissions team about how they coordinate family guest stays and 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 1047 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.
