Seacoast at Uptown Oaks is a 160-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care community that provides 24-hour staffing and rehabilitation services. The facility features dietitian-regulated meals, large private rooms, and a program to help residents adjust during their transition into the building. On-site amenities include an entertainment room, an outdoor walking area with shaded gazebos, a salon, and scheduled weekly shopping trips.
State oversight records from the past five years show 47 total deficiencies across 34 separate inspections, which averages out to about 8 citations a year. This frequency tracks 74% higher than the Florida state baseline. Every single review on file turned up at least one violation, giving the community a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for clean evaluations.
Over the years, the facility ran into repeated problems with medication management, staff training, building maintenance, and resident supervision. These citations have remained persistent, with seven noted in late 2024, four in January 2025, and three during the most recent review in August 2025. The provider has never received any fines or severe enforcement actions, and they are currently working on correcting the latest findings.
Families considering this community should look carefully at these ongoing compliance patterns to ensure the facility can safely handle their relative’s care needs. Since state records show a steady history of citations regarding training, building safety, and medication, asking the management team for proof of their current corrective steps is a necessary precaution. It is also a good idea to schedule an in-person tour to inspect the building’s upkeep yourself and watch how closely the staff monitors residents throughout the day.
Rising Oaks Assisted Living is a 52-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care facility. The property provides 24/7 staffing, help with daily tasks, medication assistance, housekeeping, and laundry services. Residents are provided with daily meals and snacks, along with managed transportation coordination to support their everyday schedule.
Evaluation documents spanning eight years and 12 separate inspections show a total of zero deficiencies. The community maintains a perfect record, securing a zero citations-per-inspection rate across its entire history. Every single visit from the state since the initial opening in 2017, including multiple reviews in 2024 and the most recent evaluation in January 2025, came back completely clear. Consequently, the provider has faced zero fines and no administrative enforcement actions of any kind.
Prospective representatives can see from these multi-year records that the facility has a remarkably consistent approach to state compliance standards. Because the community has completely avoided the typical citations that many care homes run into, the data points to a very stable and well-monitored environment. It is still a good idea to schedule a walkthrough of the building to meet the care team, observe the daily routine, and discuss how they tailor their memory support programs for new residents.
Sunset Grove Assisted Living operates at 825 Santa Barbara Blvd in Cape Coral, Lee County, Florida. 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.
Patrick Manor is a 55-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care home. The facility provides structured recreation programs and memory care services, with care coordination designed to adjust to residents who require different tiers of daily assistance.
State monitoring records covering a 13-year timeframe note 34 total deficiencies across 30 separate evaluations. This frequency breaks down to 3.1 infractions a year, which tracks 33% better than the standard Florida average. While all 30 historical visits turned up minor issues, meaning the building long missed a zero citations-per-inspection rate for perfect reviews, the file shows a distinct operational turnaround in recent years.
Early data from 2012 to 2020 revealed recurring problems with staff training, resident rights, and medication storage, but the facility managed multiple clear reviews between 2020 and 2025. Following a brief two-citation slip in late 2024, both a March 2025 annual review and the most recent August 2025 complaint inspection came back completely clean. The provider has never faced any financial fines or state enforcement actions.
Prospective residents reviewing local options can take reassurance from the community’s strong performance over the last few years. Because the historical logs show that older issues with training files and medication records have been largely corrected, the recent data points to a much more stable environment. It is still a useful practice to tour the property in person to see the common spaces firsthand and discuss with the director how they maintain their current training routines.
The Sarah House IV is a 35-bed assisted living facility that provides memory care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite stays. The community features 24-hour staffing to assist with daily living activities, medication management, and memory support. Residents have access to all-day dining with specialized menus, beauty services, housekeeping, and daily activities tailored to different ability levels.
State regulatory records covering a nine-year period show a total of 26 deficiencies across 26 separate inspections, averaging about 3 citations per year. While this volume tracks 35% better than the Florida state baseline, every evaluation on file turned up at least one violation. This means the facility has a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for entirely clean reviews.
Over the years, the facility ran into repeated problems with building upkeep, paperwork records, medication assistance, and staff training. However, the data shows an improving trend; early inspections in 2017 flagged a peak of seven citations, whereas the most recent review from October 2022 noted just a single citation regarding background screenings, which was subsequently fixed. No fines or enforcement actions have ever been issued against the provider.
Prospective residents can look to the more recent inspection history as a sign that the facility has made progress in addressing its past operational gaps. Because the long-term data points to historical, repeated issues with paperwork and building maintenance, checking in with the executive director about their current compliance systems is a smart step. Taking a walkthrough of the property will also let you inspect the building’s maintenance yourself and see if the daily atmosphere matches your expectations.
Suncoast Retreat Alf is an 84-bed, for-profit assisted living community operated by Equity Properties, LLC, and managed by administrator Christopher Damiani. The veteran-owned property provides 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants for long-term, short-term, and respite care. The facility works with Medicaid, VA benefits, and private insurance. It features bilingual staff fluent in English and Spanish, home-style meals, and daily activities like arts, gardening, and outings.
State records covering 13 years and 65 inspections show around 75 deficiencies, which averages out to 4.2 citations per year. While this volume is slightly lower than the Florida state baseline, every single inspection over the facility’s history turned up at least one violation, resulting in a zero citations-per-inspection rate. Recurring problem areas include medication records, staff training, and background screenings.
State regulators have visited this building 158% more often than the state average, which has resulted in four fines totaling $6,000 but no severe enforcement actions. Recent reviews from 2024 and 2025 show a mix of random violations alongside some clean complaint investigations.
Families looking over their care options will want to consider how this frequent inspection history fits with the level of care their relative needs. It is a good idea to ask the administration for written updates on their background screening and staff training processes to see if older issues have been fixed. Booking an in-person tour to watch how the staff interacts with residents during busy daytime hours can also give you a better sense of daily operations.
Navarre Gardens is a 75-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care facility. The community provides specialized programming and daily resident support tailored specifically around the needs of individuals experiencing cognitive decline.
Public oversight files reveal a remarkably consistent operating background since the facility opened, consisting of six separate inspections over a four-year period. Every single evaluation on file turned up no violations at all, giving the property a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate. This flawless pattern began with its initial licensure review in March 2020 and continued through multiple subsequent visits, including the most recent routine evaluation in August 2024. Because regulators have never documented a single deficiency on the premises, the provider has never required corrective action plans, nor has it faced state fines or administrative enforcement penalties.
Families checking out care options in the region can look to this unblemished track record as a very reassuring indicator of strong management and regulatory compliance. Since the state reports confirm that the facility has maintained perfect scores from its launch through its most recent reviews, the data reflects a highly stable environment. To ensure the community aligns with your expectations, scheduling a personal walkthrough during the day remains an excellent way to see the layout firsthand and speak with the team about their daily care routines.
Radiance of Gainesville is a 38-bed, non-profit memory care community. The facility provides round-the-clock staffing and specialized cognitive support programming for residents with dementia. On-site services include daily meals, shared garden spaces, physical wellness programs, and various group activities, with a design that emphasizes secure outdoor areas and regular family involvement.
State compliance reports gathered over a 13-year period show 52 total deficiencies across 42 separate inspections. This balances out to an annual average of 2.9 citations, which tracks 37% lower than the Florida state average. However, every inspection on file resulted in at least one citation, giving the facility a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews. Over the years, the building ran into repeated problems with staff training, resident paperwork, and medication storage.
More recent records show an upward trend; several 2023 and 2024 reviews came back entirely clear, while the most recent evaluation from February 2025 flagged just a single citation regarding risk management. The provider has never faced any fines or administrative enforcement actions.
Older adults and their families can look to the recent drop in citation numbers as a sign that management has worked to iron out its historical compliance issues. Since the long-term data indicates past difficulties with staff training and administrative records, checking in with the director about their current employee onboarding protocols is a practical step. Visiting the property in person during an afternoon activity will also help you evaluate the secure layout and see how the team manages daily resident supervision.
Osprey Village at Amelia Island is a 44-bed, non-profit community that provides assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, and respite stays. The property features 24-hour staffing, restaurant-style dining, a wellness center, fitness classes, and pet-friendly rooms, focusing on active programming and person-centered care.
Public compliance records spanning 13 years show a total of 25 deficiencies across 23 different inspections. This averages out to about 1.9 infractions per year, with recent data from the last four years tracking 28% better than the Florida baseline. Out of those 23 state visits, 22 turned up at least one citation, resulting in a historical zero citations-per-inspection rate for perfect reviews. Over its operating history, the building has run into occasional issues with physical plant safety, resident records, background screenings, and specialized staffing.
While the community experienced long stretches with minimal issues earlier on, the numbers have risen slightly during recent evaluations; an October 2020 check cited three deficiencies, and the most recent complaint inspection from May 2025 flagged five infractions involving care service plans, health assessments, and training records. The provider has never faced any financial fines or state enforcement penalties.
Families looking into local senior living communities can look at these multi-year reports to see how the facility balances its wellness programs with state rules. Since the latest mid-2025 data indicates some renewed challenges with staff records and resident health assessments, asking the administration about their current compliance adjustments is a good idea. Planning an in-person tour will also let you examine the physical condition of the rehab spaces and watch how the staff coordinates daily resident care.

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 1106 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.
