Overview of Freedom Pointe Place Assisted Living and Memory Care

Freedom Pointe Place Assisted Living and Memory Care is a 135-bed continuing care retirement community operated by Life Care Services LLC. The campus features restaurant-style dining, group fitness classes, educational programs, local transportation, and personal concierge services. Residents have access to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care on a single campus, supported by 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, short-term respite care, and emergency response systems.

State documents tracking 25 separate evaluations from March 2015 through March 2025 detail 27 total line-item deficiencies, an annual average that tracks 46% lower than the standard Florida baseline. Because 16 of those 25 inspections historically resulted in a minor citation on initial paperwork, the facility holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection. Early-period files from 2017 and 2018 documented sporadic marks involving admissions procedures, resident care, and medication management, which were all addressed and corrected by the provider.

The data highlights a strong compliance trajectory in recent years, with the six most recent inspections spanning from 2021 through March 2025 all returning completely clean. The operator has never faced financial fines or state administrative enforcement actions.

Interested individuals looking for an established continuum of care can view these consistent public records as an indicator of stable administrative management. Since the government tracking logs confirm that past administrative hurdles have since given way to a multi-year streak of flawless state evaluations, the files indicate an attentive operational framework. Planning an in-person tour is a practical next step to observe the daily care routines firsthand, look over the campus layout, and talk with the admissions team about transitioning between care tiers.

Overview of Lakeview Terrace Assisted Living Facility

Located in Altoona, Florida, Lakeview Terrace Assisted Living Facility is a community operated by Community Supports, Inc under the ownership of DSI Management LLC. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted, giving families several options for covering care costs. The 65-bed facility serves residents receiving short-term rehabilitation and those in longer-term care. The community’s occupancy rate is about 86%, and residents stay an average of 80 days.

The facility’s programs include short-term rehab, respite care, and rehabilitation services. Nurse staffing averages 7 hours and 11 minutes per resident each day. Registered nurses, nurse aides, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants provide that support, and the amount of daily hands-on care is best for residents recovering from an acute event and those managing ongoing health needs.

Dining focuses on choice and accommodation. The kitchen prepares made-to-order items such as omelets. Residents can also choose dishes including roast prime rib and baked salmon, along with healthier entrée options. Special dietary needs are accommodated. That’s important for residents managing medical restrictions or cultural food preferences.

The community is in a somewhat walkable area of Altoona. A few nearby services can be reached on foot, but most trips require a vehicle. The setting suits family members who visit regularly by car.

Inspections over the past decade identified recurring areas needing improvement, primarily involving staff training and resident care rights protocols. The facility showed a pattern of addressing cited deficiencies promptly. There’s a record of responsiveness to regulatory feedback. Families touring the community can ask how training and care protocols are managed and reinforced across the team.

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.
