Overview of Sarasota Villas of Holly Brook

Sarasota Villas of Holly Brook is a 70-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care facility. The community provides short-term respite stays alongside specialized memory care programming, offering daily activities and personalized support tailored to different levels of resident care needs.

State regulatory documents show the facility has a very brief operational history, with its records consisting of an initial licensure inspection completed in April 2024. That opening review came back completely clear, establishing an initial zero citations-per-inspection rate. Since this single baseline evaluation is the only record on file, there is no long-term track record to look back on just yet. This lack of historical data is typical for newer buildings, meaning its ongoing compliance habits are still establishing themselves. However, the facility has faced zero fines or administrative penalties, showing they met all state rules right from the start.

Interested individuals looking at this community can use the flawless opening report as a positive baseline for its initial setup. Since long-term data is not available yet, dropping by for a tour during busy daytime hours is a great way to evaluate how the team manages daily service delivery. It is also a good idea to speak directly with the administration about their current staffing levels and training routines to ensure the care environment matches your expectations.

Life and Love ALF II

9368 N Gentle Breeze Loop, Citrus Springs, FL 34434
Overview of Life and Love ALF II

Life and Love ALF II is a 38-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care facility. The home provides round-the-clock staffing, short-term respite care, and specialized cognitive programming that includes behavioral support, personal hygiene assistance, regular meal preparation, and family educational resources.

Health department oversight archives spanning a 12-year window log 15 total deficiencies across 16 separate visits. This frequency breaks down to 0.9 citations annually, tracking 78% better than the standard Florida baseline. On a historical scale, 15 of these 16 reviews turned up a minor infraction, giving the community a low zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews.

While the long-term record reveals minor, sporadic files, such as an early citation involving social activities, the data shows notable compliance stability recently. Both a routine review and a complaint check in 2024 came back completely clear, culminating in a spotless report during the most recent October 2024 evaluation. The state has never issued financial fines or severe administrative penalties against the property.

Prospective representatives researching senior care placement can view this multi-year history as a sign of well-established management practices. Because the public records demonstrate that old administrative or activity issues have been resolved, the recent data points to a highly consistent operating environment. Setting up a personal tour during the week is a helpful way to look over the common rooms, observe the daily activity schedule, and talk with the team about how they organize their memory care services.

Overview of Freedom Plaza Assisted Living and Memory Care

Freedom Plaza Assisted Living and Memory Care is an 88-bed continuing care retirement community operated by Life Care Services LLC. The campus features restaurant-style dining, fitness programming, local transportation, salon services, a library, and heated pools. Residents can access assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care within a single environment supported by 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, short-term respite care, and emergency response systems.

Official health department summaries monitoring 24 separate inspections between August 2013 and October 2025 note 23 total line-item infractions over the property’s operational timeline. This specific volume reveals that the home maintains an annual average that runs roughly 76% below the standard Florida baseline.

Since exactly half of those 24 state visits historically resulted in at least one regulatory mark on initial paperwork, the facility holds a balanced long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews. Government logs show that a standard evaluation in October 2024 flagged four minor issues involving medication assistance, personnel training files, and staffing standards, which the team quickly resolved. The community maintained solid consistency throughout 2025, as its two most recent complaint reviews both came back entirely clean. Furthermore, state regulators have never issued administrative fines or enforcement penalties against the operator.

Older adults looking into multi-level senior housing options can turn to these public records to evaluate the facility’s long-term administrative consistency. Since the public tracking base shows a low overall citation count alongside entirely clear logs following the resolution of the 2024 administrative marks, the current documents point to an organized operating framework. Arranging an in-person tour of the buildings is an excellent next step to check out the layout, look over the dining and rehabilitation areas, and speak directly with the team about how they handle transitions between different care tiers.

Overview of Best Care Senior Living at Heritage Manor

Best Care Senior Living at Heritage Manor is a 40-bed downtown senior property operated by Heritage Manor Assisted Living Facility Corp. The community provides standard assisted living, memory care, home health support, and adult day services under a 24-hour care model staffed by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. On-site services include scheduled local transportation, dining programs, and a daily activities calendar featuring crafts, music, gardening, and group games. Staff members support communication in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Creole, and the facility stands in a walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 89 while accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs benefits.

Oversight files tracking 34 separate state evaluations between February 2016 and October 2024 record a total of 38 line-item infractions over the property’s history, a volume running about 15% above the standard Florida baseline. Because 20 of those 34 regulatory visits resulted in at least one initial compliance note on paperwork, the home carries a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Historical archives show past scattered marks regarding medication records, staffing files, resident rights, and kitchen logs, which resulted in a small financial penalty profile of $4,000 across the tracking timeline. Modern data points to a clear upward trend in day-to-day operations, as the facility logged an single risk-management citation over its final 18 months of tracking, culminating in back-to-back flawless inspections on April 24, 2024, and October 3, 2024.

Prospective representatives analyzing regional residential options can use these multi-year government logs to examine the operator’s administrative progress. Since the official tracking base verifies that past paperwork and management hurdles have given way to a strong run of clean evaluations alongside a low overall fine history, the documents reflect an increasingly stable management structure. Arranging a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the building’s physical layout, watch the staff interact with residents, and discuss care tiers directly with the administrative team.

Overview of Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Mc

Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Mc is a 40-bed specialized memory care community managed by Priority Life Care, LLC and operated by VOP Winter Haven Memory, LLC. The property focuses exclusively on dementia and Alzheimer’s care, offering standard residential services, short-term respite stays, hospice coordination, and on-site dining. Features include a secure courtyard, large windows, lawn games, and daily wellness programs like crafts, cooking classes, group fitness, and social outings. Staffed by bilingual employees fluent in English and Spanish, the campus is situated in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 76.

State regulatory summaries tracking 31 separate inspections over a four-year period record 41 total line-item infractions, a volume that sits roughly 24% higher than the typical Florida facility baseline. Because 14 of those 31 visits historically resulted in a minor required correction on initial paperwork, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Historical files note recurring challenges with background check updates, staff training files, particularly regarding dementia care protocols, building maintenance, and personnel records, resulting in two small fines totaling $1,000. While the operator maintains an overall citation rate below the state average, the most recent review on October 16, 2025, marked a notable spike in oversight scrutiny, logging 12 Class 3 deficiencies spanning admissions paperwork, personnel files, background screening compliance, and visitation rules.

Families exploring local memory care settings can use these government tracking records to evaluate the facility’s day-to-day management trends. Since the latest 2025 state evaluations show a sudden increase in paperwork and staffing marks despite a historically low financial penalty record, asking the current administration how they have addressed these specific points is a vital safeguard. Planning an in-person walkthrough is a great next step to check out the layout of the secure courtyard, observe how the memory care team interacts with residents, and discuss updated compliance plans directly with the director.

Overview of Colonial Assisted Living at West Palm Beach Fl

Colonial Assisted Living at West Palm Beach is a 152-bed facility operated by Senior Housing Management Provider LLC. The community offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term respite care, and rehabilitation services. On-site features include private rooms, restaurant-style dining, and a daily schedule of activities like exercise classes, crafts, and social outings. Staff members support multiple languages, including English, Creole, Spanish, Hebrew, and Russian. Situated in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 98, the property provides immediate pedestrian access to local services and accepts Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State regulatory summaries tracking 58 separate inspections between January 2013 and February 2025 document 74 total line-item deficiencies over the facility’s history. This volume stands about 124% higher than the typical Florida average, and because 57 of those 58 state visits turned up at least one compliance mark on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Historical files note recurring infractions involving medication management, staffing standards, background screening updates, and physical plant safety, which resulted in 15 administrative fines totaling $36,700. However, public records indicate a major shift in modern compliance, as the most recent evaluation on February 7, 2025, came back entirely clean with zero deficiencies noted.

Prospective representatives evaluating long-term care options in the area can use these government tracking logs to weigh the property’s administrative history. Since the state data highlights a high historical citation volume and significant fines alongside a completely clean evaluation at the close of its tracking period, verifying how the team maintains these modern corrections is a smart safeguard. Planning a personal walkthrough is an effective next step to evaluate the physical plant yourself, view the residential spaces, and talk with the supervisors about financial aid and care coordination.

Elevated Estates Forest Oaks is a 135-bed assisted living community in Spring Hill, Florida. The facility provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Services include dining with themed events, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and personal care. The staff communicates in English, French, German, Sign Language, and Spanish to serve a diverse resident population, and the facility accepts Medicaid.

State records show an inspection score of 58/100, below the Florida assisted living average of 77/100.

Overview of Plantation Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care

Plantation Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care is a 72-bed, non-profit community. The facility provides round-the-clock staffing, personalized daily assistance, and specialized memory care programs designed to support residents with varying cognitive needs.

Long-term government monitoring files spanning 13 years document 36 total deficiencies across 38 separate reviews. Breaking down to 1.8 infractions annually, this volume places the building 61% ahead of the standard state average. On a historical scale, 37 of these 38 visits turned up minor citations, meaning the community has rarely hit a zero citations-per-inspection rate for a completely clean review.

Early folders from 2012 through 2017 reveal recurring struggles with building safety, admissions records, and medication handling, which were followed by a solid, multi-year stretch of flawless complaint checks between 2018 and 2021. Minor fluctuations have shown up again lately; state inspectors logged clean visits in 2024, but noted two issues in mid-2023 and cited two more deficiencies regarding record-keeping and medication care during the most recent February 2025 assessment. No administrative fines or severe enforcement actions have ever been levied against the facility.

Interested individuals scanning local senior housing options can use this extensive timeline to get a realistic picture of the home’s compliance patterns. Because the state records show that old habits with paperwork and medication routines occasionally resurface, asking the director about their current staff auditing procedures is a helpful precaution. Dropping in for a walkthrough is also a highly effective way to evaluate the physical condition of the property and observe how the team handles resident needs on a typical afternoon.

Westchester of Sunrise

9701 West Oakland Park Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33351
Overview of Westchester of Sunrise

Westchester of Sunrise is a 150-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility located in Sunrise, Florida, managed by administrator Noemi Suarez and operated by Sunrise FL Holdco LLC. The Broward County community organizes clinical healthcare, short-term physical rehabilitation, and long-term memory care tracks. Situated in a suburban neighborhood with a Walk Score of 58, the campus exhibits moderate neighborhood walkability and serves a mixed payer base composed mostly of Medicare short-stay patients and Medicaid long-term residents.

Government compliance databases overseen by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration track a steady operational history, noting 57 deficiencies across 48 inspection cycles over a 13-year period. This baseline represents an annual average of 2.8 citations, remaining 39% below the broader Florida state norm. State field examiners during a February 2025 routine review identified one physical plant safety omission, while earlier 2023 and 2024 evaluations cited issues involving resident care rights, staffing patterns, medication records, and building maintenance. In contrast, multiple complaint audits conducted between 2019 and 2022 were finalized with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While the operator has been assessed eight historical fines amounting to $41,300, public registries indicate an absence of critical immediate jeopardy citations or severe enforcement bans.

Regarding clinical operations, internal nursing teams deliver an average of 3 hours and 39 minutes of direct resident care daily, tracking below the state standard. Despite these reduced staffing hours, long-stay tracking metrics reveal resident functional decline rates that perform 35% better than state benchmarks, alongside strong tracking in depression screening, falls prevention, and incontinence management. On-site services incorporate regular physician visits, professional nursing interventions, and a recreational schedule featuring arts and crafts, group exercise classes, music programs, and social outings.

Older adults requiring short-term medical recovery or transition care after a hospital stay can look to this established community’s verified history of compliance corrections. The 150-bed institutional layout serves individuals who require consistent medical supervision, physical therapy tracks, and structured cognitive engagement outside of a home setting.

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.
