The Pointe at West Palm operates 102 units as an independent and assisted living community at 111 Executive Center Dr in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. Snh Fla Tenant Llc, operating under the Sinceri Senior Living banner and administered by Geraldine Good for owner Kristine Stovall, holds the license.
The mid-rise facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with residents typically staying 101 days. Staff speak Creole, English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
The community offers both short-stay rehabilitation and long-term care tracks.
Florida regulators conducted 33 inspections across six years (2020-2025). Citations totaled 40, which is 21% above the state average with 70% of inspections resulting in deficiencies. The most recent complaint investigation on August 25, 2025, identified a deficiency in resident care supervision. December 2024 and April 2022 standard inspections cited recurring issues: medication self-administration protocols, resident rights and facility procedures, staffing standard compliance, and background screening documentation.
Of four recent CMS health inspections, one critical citation emerged concerning resident care quality, joined by 18 moderate citations spanning quality of life, pharmacy practice, and resident rights.
Federal penalties in the form of five fines totaling $12.8 thousand over the review period align with state averages. No Medicare/Medicaid payment denials were imposed.
Nursing hours per resident per day measured 3 hours 52 minutes, falling 13% below the state average, yet the facility earned a 2-star CMS staffing rating, slightly above state performance.
Falls with major injury never occurred in long-stay residents (100% better than state average). Pressure ulcers affected 4.0% versus the 5.4% benchmark. Yet incontinence in low-risk long-stay residents reached 20.3% (50% worse than state), and urinary infections occurred in 1.4% (63% worse than state). Pneumococcal and influenza vaccination rates both achieved 100%, exceeding typical performance.
The facility reported an operating loss of $184,700 in 2023, with payroll at 39.6% of revenue; below the 49–56% range typical of well-run peers.
Occupancy, however, shows improvement: from 61.7% in 2022 to 76.8% in 2023. The current resident census of 151 skews heavily Medicaid-dependent at 79.5%.
The community provides independent and assisted living with respite options, activities programming, and multilingual staff support.

Regulatory compliance reflects sustained performance. Between April 2013 and May 7, 2025, 12 state inspections yielded 13 total citations (61% below the Florida average). The facility recorded 0.9 citations per inspection (31% better than state average) and 0.2 deficiencies annually (96% better than state average). Zero fines have been assessed.
Most recent inspections show a strengthening trajectory: March 2020, August 2021, April 2023, and May 7, 2025 all identified zero deficiencies. One routine inspection in March 2019 identified two Class 3 deficiencies concerning emergency planning and environmental control. Earlier complaint investigations in 2013, 2014, and 2015 detected no violations. Building maintenance, documentation, infection control, and emergency planning emerged as inspection themes across the full period.
Located at ground zero in Wilton Manors (Walk Score 74), the community ranks 447th of 1,072 Florida assisted living providers by bed count and 164th of 1,485 by walkability.

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 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.
