Sunstar Village is a 45-bed, for-profit assisted living community run by administrator Anna Lymonova. The facility has 24-hour staffing, nursing services, and secure rooms designed to keep things calm and quiet. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and VA benefits. Residents get chef-prepared meals, laundry service, and plenty of daily activities like arts, exercise, and gardening.
Since the building just opened recently, its official state record is still short. However, its very first licensing inspection came back with zero deficiencies, giving it a perfect initial score. There isn’t a multi-year track record to look at yet since they’ve only had this one baseline review, but the facility hasn’t received any fines or enforcement actions. The clean report simply shows they met all state rules right out of the gate.
Prospective residents looking at this new community can view that perfect first inspection as a great starting point. Since there isn’t a long history to read through yet, dropping by for a tour during lunch or an afternoon activity is a good way to see how things run day-to-day.
Chatting with the management about their hiring and long-term staffing plans can also help you figure out if the care will match your future needs. You might also want to ask about the nursing team’s specific background just to get a better feel for the medical care on-site. Asking these questions upfront is the best way to make sure the community is a good fit.
A 160-bed assisted living community administered by Lisa Thweatt in northwest Boca Raton is The Atrium at Boca Raton. Operated by Colonial Assisted Living At Boca Raton LLC under owner Jerry Remedor, the community is set to serve older adults needing help with everyday activities while maintaining as much independence as possible. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs benefits, insurance and HMO coverage, and private pay, giving families numerous ways to fund care.
The average stay duration is about 104 days, reflecting a mix of residents who stay briefly for respite care and those who stay for longer-term support. Daily attentive care is substantial: residents receive a total of roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care per day, with registered nurses providing 52 minutes daily, nurse aides contributing 2 hours and 7 minutes, and licensed practical nurses adding 32 minutes. This staffing groundwork supports routine daily needs and specialized care requirements. Meanwhile, dining is a structured part of daily life, with restaurant-style meals prepared fresh each day and tailored to meet nutritional standards. The community also has respite care for families needing short-term support, plus financial assistance to help make care accessible. These services make the facility a pragmatic choice for long-term residents and those seeking brief, temporary relief care. The community is found in a residential area of Boca Raton that’s car-dependent, meaning most errands and activities necessitate driving. The location is accessible by major roads for families visiting from outside the area, but the immediate neighborhood doesn’t offer substantial walkable shopping or dining options.
The Harbor House of Ocala is a 60-bed for-profit assisted living facility located in Dunnellon, Florida, operated by Harbor House Alf LLC and managed by administrator Patricia A. Cook. The residential community coordinates standard personal care, post-acute physical rehabilitation tracks, and short-term respite options. The facility focuses on long-term senior housing, delivering 24-hour staffing and on-site clinical nursing services.
Oversight files preserved by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration track a favorable regulatory history, noting 43 total deficiencies across 39 separate inspection cycles over 13 years. This operational baseline represents an annual average of 2.5 citations, performing 46% better than the Florida state norm. Recent compliance audits reveal a distinct upward trend, featuring a streak of four consecutive evaluations from November 2023 through May 2025 that concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
While an older June 2023 complaint check logged five infractions regarding admission assessments, medication assistance, staff training, risk management documentation, and electronic reporting, the operator cleared those issues under standard regional protocols. The business record has never been subject to active enforcement freezes or severe operating constraints, and its cumulative financial history notes six administrative fines totaling $10,500.
On the floor, daily clinical delivery features localized physical therapy options and routine health monitoring. The culinary department prepares chef-style meals three times daily, while a multilingual employee base supports Creole-, English-, German-, and Spanish-speaking residents. The recreation department guides a steady calendar of social outings, physical exercise classes, yoga sessions, dancing, group music tracks, gardening, and board games. Financial access is designed for flexibility, accepting Medicaid waivers and Veteran Affairs benefits alongside traditional payment options.
Interested individuals looking for an established senior community can look to the facility’s multi-year streak of perfect state evaluations to confirm its contemporary quality standards. The 60-capacity environment functions well for older adults who require routine physical help and behavioral supervision but prefer an intimate setting over a substantial, large-scale facility.

An 84-bed assisted living community in Arcadia, Florida, is Arcadia Oaks, which serves seniors needing support with daily living activities while maintaining independence. Found on East Gibson Street in a really walkable neighborhood that rates 70 on Walk Score, the community offers easy access to local errands and services on foot. The facility, administered by Courtney Smith, is operated by Care Haven Senior Living LLC.
Arcadia Oaks provides rehabilitation services and respite care, with 24-hour nursing services and staffing for residents. This blend of rehabilitation focus and continuous care support makes the community well-suited for those recovering from surgery or illness while requiring active assistance with daily needs. The community accepts wide payment options, including Medicare, Medicaid, CHAMPUS, insurance and HMO plans, Veteran Affairs Benefits, and Workers Compensation. This variety of coverage pathways ensures families have numerous routes to secure care regardless of their circumstances. With 84 beds, Arcadia Oaks offers a mid-sized community setting where residents can access rehabilitation services and continuous care in one location. The highly walkable neighborhood setting allows visiting family and residents to explore the surrounding area cozily on foot.
State inspections for 13 years have focused on procedural compliance areas, specifically medication handling and dietary standards. The community has worked to tackle these operational areas over time, and families during a tour may find it beneficial to talk about medication and dietary management practices.
The mix of rehabilitation focus and continuous care support makes Arcadia Oaks suitable for those healing from surgery or illness while needing continuous assistance with daily needs.
Heron House of Largo is a 145-bed assisted living community that provides personal care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite stays. Supported by 24-hour staffing, the facility offers chef-prepared dining, physical wellness programming, local shopping trips, and group activities like games and music. Various financial options are accommodated, including Medicaid, HMOs, and Veterans Affairs benefits.
State oversight documentation collected across 83 separate evaluations since 2012 logs 91 total deficiencies, a citation volume that sits 179% higher than the typical Florida senior community average. Because every on-site review historically uncovered at least one regulatory mark, the facility maintains a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reports. Regulatory logs reveal recurring compliance challenges regarding medication management, employee training, staffing levels, food services, and emergency preparedness.
The provider’s enforcement history features 15 administrative fines totaling $15,629, and state inspections from 2024 and 2025 have continued to identify minor infractions. While these persistent citations indicate ongoing regulatory monitoring, public records confirm that the operator historically addresses its cited issues through mandated corrective actions and follow-up reviews.
Older adults exploring local residential care options should carefully examine these long-term monitoring trends when reviewing the property. Because the public files indicate a sustained history of citations involving medication routines, building maintenance, and staffing levels up through the most recent evaluations, asking the administration to outline their current quality improvement plan and training protocols is an essential safeguard. Planning an in-person walkthrough is also an effective way to evaluate the overall condition of the campus layout and watch how the team handles daily care routines.

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.
