The 110-bed community is managed by Langham Healthcare LLC with Mary Frances Moore serving as administrator. It provides assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and respite care with 24-hour staffing and accepts both Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

All 52 inspections conducted from December 2012 through May 2024 documented deficiencies, representing a consistent regulatory pattern with no violations-free visits. Over this twelve-year period, 17 formal fines totaling $42,500 were assessed by Florida regulators. The most recent inspection, conducted May 15, 2024, cited 13 deficiencies related to staffing standards, training, admissions procedures, records management, physical plant maintenance, and background screening. Deficiencies in the three preceding years averaged 12.7 annually versus Florida’s 4.6, resulting in an inspection score of 52 out of 100 against Florida’s 77.

Persistent regulatory themes across the facility’s inspection history have included building maintenance and physical plant concerns, records and documentation gaps, resident care and rights issues, dietary and food service deficiencies, and emergency preparedness planning failures.

Amenities include a theater, game room, cafe, and hair and nail salon. Scheduled community activities range from arts and crafts and dancing to exercise classes, games, music programs, shopping, and theater productions, with various social outings and events.

Following license suspension effective September 28, 2023, Sunset Grove Assisted Living became ineligible to operate as a licensed assisted living facility in Florida.

Overview of Family Extended Care of Sebring

Family Extended Care of Sebring is an 85-bed senior community managed by Best Care Senior Living LLC and operated as a non-profit by Central Tampa Consultant LLC. The property provides standard assisted living and specialized memory care, with daily programming that includes cooking classes, group exercise, games, crafts, and social outings. Staffed trilingually in English, Spanish, and Creole, the facility accommodates various payment structures, including private pay, insurance, Medicaid, workers’ compensation, and Veterans Affairs benefits.

Official oversight records documenting 35 separate inspections since July 2012 detail 32 total line-item infractions, averaging 2.9 citations annually. This frequency tracks slightly lower than the typical Florida facility baseline, and because 21 of those 35 state visits historically resulted in a minor operational mark, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Regulatory files note past challenges involving building maintenance, resident documentation, medication management, and staff training protocols, with an enforcement history limited to a single $6,065 fine and zero severe administrative penalties. State logs from the most recent evaluation on September 15, 2025, show a single citation related to risk management and quality assurance procedures, which the team subsequently resolved following a series of entirely clean inspections earlier in 2024 and 2025.

Prospective representatives evaluating regional senior housing choices can look to these multi-year public health logs to evaluate the property’s management consistency. Since the public tracking base shows an overall low citation history and a minimal penalty record despite frequent regulatory visits, the data points to a highly compliant operating framework. Arranging an in-person walkthrough is an effective way to inspect the residential layout firsthand, view the common spaces, and discuss care coordination and financial assistance options with the staff.

Overview of Cedar Creek Assisted Living

Cedar Creek Assisted Living is a 78-bed facility providing standard residential assistance, memory care, and short-term respite stays. The property provides dining services, housekeeping, laundry, a shared outdoor rocking porch, and a calendar of group exercise, crafts, games, and social outings. Staffing includes 24-hour personnel with nursing support, and the community accommodates diverse funding structures by accepting private insurance, HMO plans, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs benefits. The location is car-dependent, with a Walk Score of 1.

State regulatory summaries tracking 69 separate inspections from June 2012 through September 2025 document 128 total line-item infractions over the property’s operational timeline. This cumulative frequency runs significantly above the standard Florida average, and because 67 of those 69 regulatory reviews resulted in at least one initial citation, the home carries a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Multi-year compliance logs note persistent challenges across several domains, including resident supervision, medication handling, admissions contracts, staff training records, emergency planning, and background screening clearances, resulting in 16 administrative fines totaling $23,000.

Prospective representatives evaluating regional residential options should thoroughly weigh these long-term government monitoring trends. Because the public database reveals a heavy cumulative citation count and numerous financial penalties spanning over a decade of state oversight, discussing these specific historical issues with the management team is a critical precaution. Arranging a personal walkthrough remains a practical step to verify the actual condition of the building, observe the day-to-day routines, and evaluate the provider’s modern compliance plans firsthand.

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.
