The 180-bed community has an occupancy rate of 89%. Residents stay an average of 43 days, which is a mix of short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care. Nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 56 minutes per resident each day, providing consistent hands-on care.

The Atrium at Boca Raton

1080 Northwest 15Th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33486
Overview of The Atrium at Boca Raton

A 160-bed assisted living community administered by Lisa Thweatt in northwest Boca Raton is The Atrium at Boca Raton. Operated by Colonial Assisted Living At Boca Raton LLC under owner Jerry Remedor, the community is set to serve older adults needing help with everyday activities while maintaining as much independence as possible. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs benefits, insurance and HMO coverage, and private pay, giving families numerous ways to fund care.

The average stay duration is about 104 days, reflecting a mix of residents who stay briefly for respite care and those who stay for longer-term support. Daily attentive care is substantial: residents receive a total of roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care per day, with registered nurses providing 52 minutes daily, nurse aides contributing 2 hours and 7 minutes, and licensed practical nurses adding 32 minutes. This staffing groundwork supports routine daily needs and specialized care requirements. Meanwhile, dining is a structured part of daily life, with restaurant-style meals prepared fresh each day and tailored to meet nutritional standards. The community also has respite care for families needing short-term support, plus financial assistance to help make care accessible. These services make the facility a pragmatic choice for long-term residents and those seeking brief, temporary relief care. The community is found in a residential area of Boca Raton that’s car-dependent, meaning most errands and activities necessitate driving. The location is accessible by major roads for families visiting from outside the area, but the immediate neighborhood doesn’t offer substantial walkable shopping or dining options.

Overview of Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility

Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility is a 36-bed memory care community specializing in care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and progressive dementia. The property features 24-hour staffing, secure perimeter accommodations, medication assistance, dietitian-approved meals, housekeeping, and transportation coordination alongside cognitive engagement activities like exercise, gardening, and crafts. Financial assistance through Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits is accepted.

Government health department summaries recorded since 2014 show a total of 18 infractions spread across 18 separate regulatory visits. On a comparative scale, this citation count performs roughly 45% better than the state average for typical Florida senior communities. Since each historical oversight check turned up some type of minor required fix, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on initial audits.

While older files pointed to low-level physical plant safety and building upkeep tasks, the operator resolved those items and established a strong modern compliance record. This trend is underscored by back-to-back flawless reviews during both the March 2024 inspection and the most recent evaluation from October 2024. Furthermore, state regulators have never issued any financial penalties or severe administrative orders against the business.

Prospective representatives researching specialized dementia placement options can take reassurance from this multi-year run of stable compliance outcomes. Because public records verify that earlier building maintenance notes were fully corrected, giving way to an entirely clean track record throughout 2024, the data points to an attentive administrative framework. Scheduling an on-site walkthrough is an excellent way to inspect the perimeter security yourself, view the common spaces, and talk with the team about how they organize their daily memory support routines.

East Lake Manor, Inc.

722 E Lake Rd S, Tarpon Springs, FL 34688-7347
Overview of East Lake Manor

East Lake Manor, Inc. is a 30-bed assisted living facility that provides standard residential support and memory care. The property features 24-hour staffing, a schedule of daily activities, and shared common lounges, alongside practical services like weekly housekeeping, laundry, and medication distribution. Staffed by employees fluent in English and Spanish, the community accommodates diverse financial setups by accepting insurance, HMOs, Medicaid, workers’ compensation, and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State health department archives covering 16 separate evaluations between October 2013 and December 2023 record 17 total line-item infractions over the property’s timeline. This frequency breaks down to an annual average of 2.3 citations, tracking about 50% better than the typical Florida baseline. Because 12 of those 16 state visits flagged at least one minor required adjustment on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Older logs from 2013 to 2019 noted occasional administrative hurdles with staff training files, personnel background screenings, and staffing protocols, which the operator resolved. The modern data shows a clear upward shift, as four consecutive state visits from May 2021 through the final December 2023 review all came back completely clean. Regulators have never issued financial fines or administrative penalties against the facility.

Interested individuals looking for a smaller, residential care environment can use these official state summaries to check out the facility’s operational history. Since the public data highlights a low overall citation count that shifted into a multi-year run of flawless state evaluations up through the end of the tracking cycle, the documentation points to a stable operating framework. Booking an in-person tour is a great next step to check out the physical layout, view the common spaces, and talk with the team about financial options and care coordination.

State health department archives tracking 18 separate regulatory visits since May 2015 record an exceptional compliance timeline for this property. Across more than a decade of oversight, state teams have documented a low cumulative history of only 18 minor line-item notes, which results in an annual average of 1.6 citations. Because the majority of these standard reviews came back entirely clear on the initial pass, the home carries a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews. The provider’s enforcement file reflects a stable operating history with no severe penalties, capped by a single $500 reporting fine issued back in 2018.

Prospective residents looking for a large-scale care community with an established operational framework can use these government records to verify the manager’s history.

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.
