The Bridges

11202 Dewhurst Drive, Riverview, FL 33578
Overview of The Bridges

The Bridges is a 101-bed for-profit assisted living and independent senior residence operated by Sweet Water Grand LLC and managed by administrator Kristy Tuttle. The community features 24-hour staffing, licensed nursing, rehabilitation services, and respite care. Serving residents utilizing Medicaid, private insurance, and VA benefits, the facility employs English and Spanish-speaking staff. Daily operations include a chef-led dining program alongside varied activities like fitness classes, gardening, and organized social outings.

Regulatory histories over eight years show 33 deficiencies documented across 29 inspections, which averages to 2.4 infractions annually. While this total volume is 48% lower than the state average, every historical inspection resulted in at least one citation, creating a zero citations-per-inspection rate during those oversight periods. Recurrent issues historically involved medication assistance, staff training, records documentation, and dietary standards. Although the facility has undergone an elevated number of inspections relative to state averages, it has received zero fines or enforcement actions. Furthermore, a recent January 2025 complaint investigation resulted in zero deficiencies, indicating a shift toward stronger compliance.

Families researching senior housing options may want to monitor whether this recent positive trajectory is maintained in future state evaluations. Reviewing the facility’s progress on medication management and staff training protocols directly with the administration can provide reassurance regarding current care quality. This step helps ensure that historical operational challenges do not conflict with the level of assistance a relative requires.

Overview of Sunscape Boca Raton

Sunscape Boca Raton is a 116-bed for-profit assisted living and memory care community operated by Sunscape Boca Raton Sa Opco, LLC, and managed by administrator Jeremy Ganisin. The facility features 24-hour staffing, nursing services, rehabilitation support, and respite care. Serving residents with tri-lingual staff fluent in English, Spanish, and Creole, the pet-friendly environment provides anytime restaurant-style dining and comprehensive wellness programming. Standard services encompass chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, and personal laundry, with monthly pricing starting at $4,850 for assisted living and $7,330 for memory care.

State compliance tracking over two years details a total of three deficiencies across three separate evaluations, averaging one infraction annually. This rate is 78% lower than the state average. While the facility maintained a zero citations-per-inspection rate during its first two operational reviews, its most recent September 2025 inspection identified three distinct gaps. These noted infractions involved resident elopement standards, infection control protocols, and the availability of emergency care equipment. The provider has received no financial penalties or severe administrative enforcement actions to date.

Prospective residents weighing newer senior living options can utilize the community’s early history of minimal citations as an encouraging baseline. Because the community possesses a relatively short operational track record, arranging an on-site visit remains an effective method for evaluating service delivery. Directing questions to the program directors regarding their updated elopement safety protocols and active infection controls can ensure current practices align with your expectations.

Overview of Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Al

Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Al is a 60-bed senior community managed by Priority Life Care, LLC and operated by VOP Winter Haven, LLC. The property offers standard assisted living, specialized memory care, short-term respite stays, and hospice coordination. Residents have access to daily dining and structured programs like cooking classes, gardening, crafts, group fitness, and social outings. Care services are supported by a bilingual staff fluent in English and Spanish. Located in a downtown area with a Walk Score of 76, the campus sits within walking distance of local resources.

Government compliance logs tracking 21 separate visits over a three-year period document 28 total line-item infractions, which trends roughly 15% better than the typical Florida facility average. Because four of those 21 evaluations historically resulted in at least one minor compliance mark on initial paperwork, the home carries a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Older oversight archives show occasional hurdles involving medication handling, employee records, emergency preparedness plans, and admissions paperwork, though regulators have never issued a financial penalty against the operator. The modern data reveals that the most recent check on October 15, 2025, flagged six specific deficiencies tied to personnel files, emergency planning, staffing levels, and required employee training updates for first aid, CPR, and DNR protocols.

Prospective residents searching for an option near downtown services can turn to these multi-year government logs to assess the provider’s operational patterns. Since the public tracking base confirms an overall below-average citation frequency and zero historical fines alongside recent notes regarding staff training updates and emergency logs, reviewing the current administration’s corrective steps is a helpful safeguard.

Scheduling a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the residential spaces firsthand, see the neighborhood layout, and speak directly with management about daily care structures.

Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville

10660 Old St Augustine Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32257-1076
Overview of Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville

Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville is a 258-bed skilled nursing facility located in Jacksonville, Florida, under the management of operator JV LTC Holdings LLC and administrator Danielle Ashby. The multi-tier campus coordinates independent living, assisted living, memory care, and post-acute rehabilitation tracks, maintaining a high occupancy rate of 92.1%. Positioned near local resources in a highly walkable urban neighborhood featuring a Walk Score of 94, the facility serves a blend of short-term Medicare rehabilitation patients and long-term Medicaid residents.

Government compliance profiles managed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration track a steady regulatory history, noting 42 total deficiencies across 42 evaluations over more than ten years. This operational baseline represents an annual average of 2.3 citations, which remains 50% below the broader Florida state norm. State field examiners during an October 2025 routine review identified two minor issues regarding resident rights and staff medication training, while an earlier April 2022 review cited three omissions in corporate risk management and background screening procedures. In contrast, separate complaint audits conducted during 2023 and 2024 were finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While the operator has been assessed six historical fines amounting to $27,500, public registries indicate an absence of critical immediate jeopardy citations or severe enforcement bans.

Regarding clinical operations, internal nursing teams deliver an average of 4 hours and 8 minutes of direct resident care daily, tracking just under the state standard. On-site staff members supervise medication delivery, administer personal care, and guide physical rehabilitation routines. The community infrastructure is pet-friendly and integrates an indoor movie theater, a coffee bar, and secure outdoor gardens. Daily life involves chef-prepared meals alongside a recreational calendar featuring physical fitness classes, scriptural studies, and cognitive training games.

Older adults requiring short-term medical recovery or transition care after a hospital stay can look to this high-occupancy community’s established rehabilitation frameworks. Typical Medicare admissions utilize the facility for an average of 16 days, whereas long-term Medicaid placement clients maintain an average residency of ten months.

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.
