Overview of Convivial Jacaranda Trace

Convivial Jacaranda Trace is a 63-bed non-profit senior community operated by LifeStar Management. The campus offers standard assisted living, specialized memory care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite stays across a mix of apartments and villa homes. On-site features include a heated swimming pool, a fitness center, a clubhouse, and multiple dining venues. Residents have access to daily structured programming, such as group fitness, gardening, crafts, music, and local social outings.

Public health summaries capturing 24 distinct regulatory checks between April 2013 and November 2024 catalog 28 total line-item infractions at the facility. This specific tally breaks down to a long-term annual average of 2.6 citations, outperforming the standard Florida baseline by roughly 43%. Because 11 of those 24 state visits historically resulted in at least one minor notation on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Older compliance logs point to scattered hurdles over the years involving personnel files, background screening updates, employee training protocols, and kitchen operations, which led to three small financial penalties totaling $1,500. The modern record highlights steady improvement, showing an entirely spotless evaluation with zero violations during the final standard review on November 21, 2024.

Interested individuals exploring regional retirement communities can utilize these multi-year state archives to gauge the property’s operational continuity. Since the public data outlines a low cumulative citation frequency and minor fine record alongside a completely clear inspection at the close of its tracking period, the documentation shows a stable administrative approach. Arranging a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the villa and apartment floor plans, see the dining rooms, and talk with the staff about daily care coordination.

Overview of Astoria Senior Living

Astoria Senior Living is located at 9220 Western Avenue in Omaha, Nebraska, providing a 121-bed home for nursing and healing in a part of the city that is somewhat easy to walk around. With a Walk Score of 51, you can run some small errands on foot, though you will still need to use a car for most daily trips.

Currently, the building houses 96 people, meaning about four out of every five beds are taken, which is helpful for families who need a spot quickly because it means your loved one can move in without a long wait.

The main goal is helping people get better; they offer special healing services designed for folks who are coming from a hospital visit, surgery, or injury and need real practice before they can return to their own homes. This creates a space where some residents are preparing to leave, while others are making themselves comfortable for long-term care.

This balance is what makes the place work; Astoria is perfect for older adults who require skilled help or a focused time for getting back on their feet and who also want to stay near their own neighborhood in west-central Omaha, offering families great comfort.

Westminster Suncoast

1095 Pinellas Point Dr S, St. Petersburg, FL 33705
Overview of Westminster Suncoast

Sixty beds, one campus, three levels of care: Westminster Suncoast in St. Petersburg is built as a continuing care retirement community, so nursing home care sits alongside assisted living and independent living under the same roof. It’s in the Greater Pinellas Point neighborhood, and honestly, you’ll want a car nearby. The Walk Score is 26, somewhat walkable, meaning a few things are in reach on foot but most errands aren’t. Suncoast Manor Retirement Community Inc holds the license, Chrystal Zecca administers the place day to day, and Westminster Services, Inc. runs operations behind the scenes.

Occupancy sits at 87.3%, so the building is close to full. The average stay is 66 days, which is short enough to suggest a lot of people are here for rehab after a hospital stay, not just settling in long-term. Registered nurses log about 51 minutes per resident each day, and LPNs and certified nurse aides fill out the rest of the direct care hours.

Residents can join arts and crafts, music programs, yoga, dancing, and organized outings, and there’s an active resident council that actually meets to talk through policy and care quality with staff, not just a name on a brochure. The facility also links residents to home care and pharmacy services, plus HUD and rental apartment options for those who need it. Staff speak English and Spanish, which matters more than it might sound like on paper.

Money-wise, Westminster Suncoast takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families aren’t boxed into one route. On the regulatory side, state inspections here have tended to circle back to medication management, staffing credentials, and how well care planning gets documented. You get a fairly typical CCRC nursing home: high occupancy, a short-stay rehab tilt, real staffing behind the numbers, and a resident population that’s probably split between people passing through after surgery and people who’ve made this their home.

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.
