Overview of Canterfield of Clay County

Canterfield of Clay County is a 100-bed senior community managed by Jacksonville Canterfield Management LLC and operated by Canterfield of Jacksonville, LLC. The facility provides standard assisted living and specialized memory care within a structure focused on an active daily routine. On-site services include daily meals, local transportation, and a group schedule featuring cooking classes, gardening, crafts, fitness, and social outings. Situated in a downtown neighborhood, the campus sits within walking distance of local resources.

Public health databases capturing 15 distinct state reviews between May 2017 and June 2025 record a final count of 12 line-item notes across the provider’s history. This specific citation tally tracks about 64% below the standard Florida facility benchmark. Because 11 of those 15 oversight visits turned up completely clean initial reports, the property holds a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

The few scattered marks historically logged by state teams involved minor administrative paperwork and general care procedures, all of which management addressed. The property’s operational continuity is underscored by its latest evaluation on June 9, 2025, which returned zero violations, and the business has never faced an administrative fine throughout its timeline.

Interested individuals scanning local care options can check these multi-year government summaries to analyze the operator’s compliance patterns. Since the state archives confirm a very low citation volume and zero penalties alongside a multi-year trend of flawless reports, the files show a reliable administrative framework. Planning a personal walkthrough is a great next step to check out the layout, view the activity setups, and talk with the team about care coordination.

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.

Overview of Moorings Park Oakstone at Grey Oaks

Moorings Park Oakstone at Grey Oaks is a 50-bed, non-profit community that provides assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services. The facility features round-the-clock staffing, short-term respite care, outpatient therapy, and integrated home health options, with daily clinical care supported by an average of 5 hours and 37 minutes of nursing time per resident.

Public compliance data covering an eight-year operational history show 11 total deficiencies across 14 separate state inspections. This frequency averages out to 0.5 citations per year, which tracks 89% better than the typical Florida state benchmark. Out of these 14 visits, 13 historically turned up at least one minor infraction, giving the property a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews. The home maintained a long stretch of clear evaluations during its first few years of operation, including multiple spotless reviews between 2017 and 2021.

Recent monitoring reports show minor, isolated marks; a June 2024 routine check noted one staffing standards issue, and the most recent complaint investigation from July 2025 cited a single deficiency regarding resident elopement standards. State regulators have never issued any financial fines or administrative enforcement actions against the provider.

Older adults exploring local residential care options can view this extensive timeline as a strong indicator of low regulatory risk and stable management. Because the recent 2025 records flag an isolated issue with elopement safety protocols, asking the administrator to detail their current resident monitoring and security systems is a prudent step. Scheduling a personal tour is also a great way to view the therapy areas firsthand and watch how the staff coordinates daily clinical routines.

State logs from 2024 and 2025 point to moderate citations regarding medication storage, assistance, labeling, and record-keeping, all of which the operator is addressing through formal corrective strategies.

State inspections have mainly focused on resident supervision, food service, and recordkeeping. Inspection results have generally improved over time. More recent reviews found fewer issues.

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.
