Overview of Dayspring Village

Dayspring Village. is a 126-bed specialized assisted living community focused on serving adults with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders. The facility provides targeted support aimed at building daily living skills and managing psychiatric symptoms within a peer-based environment. Daily programming includes social outings, gardening, crafts, and games, alongside an annual resident shoe event. Financial coverage is accommodated through the acceptance of Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State oversight logs tracking 21 separate visits between September 2012 and October 2025 document 24 total line-item infractions over the community’s history, a volume that sits 27% below the state average. Because 19 of those 21 inspections came back completely clear, the property holds a very high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless initial reviews. Older regulatory files from 2012 noted minor marks involving resident care and medication paperwork, which were quickly resolved.

The facility has demonstrated strong compliance consistency in recent years, with four consecutive state evaluations from December 2022 through October 2025 all returning zero deficiencies. Additionally, the operator’s penalty profile is limited to a single $2,000 fine, with no severe enforcement actions on record.

Families looking for a structured residential environment for an adult with complex mental health needs can use these public health records to evaluate the property’s regulatory standing. Since the official data confirms a low long-term citation count and an extended run of perfect state evaluations up through late 2025, the files indicate an attentive and stable management framework. Setting up an on-site visit is an effective next step to look over the campus layout, see the daily routines firsthand, and speak with the team about admissions criteria.

Overview of Berryhill Manor Retirement Center

Berryhill Manor Retirement Center is a 65-bed senior property operated by Rushan Corporation. The facility offers standard assisted living, specialized memory care, short-term respite stays, and a DayStay program for flexible hours. On-site services include private and semi-private suites, laundry, housekeeping, religious services, and three daily meals planned by a certified dietician. Residents have access to local transportation, medical visits, and a social calendar featuring music programs, exercise classes, gardening, and shopping trips. Financial assistance is accommodated through the acceptance of Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

Official oversight records tracking 23 separate state reviews between December 2012 and March 2025 detail a total of 20 line-item notes across the provider’s history. This final tally runs roughly 39% below the standard Florida facility baseline. Because 21 of those 23 distinct visits came back entirely clean on the first pass, the home carries an exceptionally high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

The only violations on file occurred during a single month back in early 2013 regarding background checks and medication paperwork, which resulted in a small historical penalty profile of $3,500. Since clearing those early items, the facility has maintained a completely spotless tracking record for over 12 straight years, a trend that continued through its latest evaluation on March 27, 2025.

Older adults investigating regional housing options can look through these multi-year health department summaries to gauge the operator’s day-to-day continuity. Since the state tracking archives confirm a very low overall citation frequency and zero new penalties across more than a decade, the documentation points to a stable administrative setup. Planning a personal walkthrough is a great next step to check out the building layout, view the dining spaces, and talk directly with the team about care coordination.

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.
