Overview of Eden at Crestview

Eden at Crestview is a 66-bed senior community operated by Senior Care Investments LLC that provides assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite stays. The property features private one- and two-bedroom apartments, restaurant-style dining with à la carte menus, a library, an activity room, a full-service salon, and scheduled local transportation. Residents receive 24-hour care from licensed nursing staff, which includes weekly housekeeping, laundry, exercise programs, and structured social events. Veterans Affairs benefits are accepted.

State health department archives tracking eight separate evaluations since September 2019 show a total of eight line-item deficiencies, averaging 1.6 citations per year. This overall volume performs 65% better than the typical Florida facility average. Because six of those eight state visits historically came back completely clear, the property holds a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reports. The only historical infraction event occurred during a May 2022 review, which flagged two minor administrative adjustments regarding medication assistance and emergency care protocols that were promptly corrected.

Compliance logs highlight sustained operational consistency, with the three most recent inspections, conducted in August 2023, December 2023, and June 2024, all returning zero deficiencies. The provider has never received a financial fine or administrative enforcement penalty.

Older adults exploring senior placement options in the region can review these consistent public logs to evaluate the facility’s day-to-day oversight. Since the official tracking database verifies a low overall citation count alongside an extended run of entirely clean state evaluations, the records point to an exceptionally stable management framework. Setting up a personal tour of the property is a useful next step to look over the apartment layouts firsthand, view the common spaces, and talk with the nursing team about daily care coordination.

Overview of Family Extended Care of Sebring INC

Family Extended Care of Sebring INC 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.

Cedar Creek

231 Nw Highway 19, Crystal River, FL 34428
Overview of Cedar Creek

Cedar Creek is a 72-bed senior community operated by Cedar Creek at Kings Bay Inc. The property provides standard assisted living and memory care alongside 24-hour staffing, wellness programs, and pet assistance services. On-site amenities include an in-house library, a beauty parlor, a computer center, a bridge room, and scratch-made dining options. Residents have access to a daily activities schedule that covers crafts, cooking classes, gardening, group fitness, and social outings. Financial assistance plans are accommodated through the acceptance of Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

Official oversight records documenting 10 separate state visits between September 2012 and March 2025 catalog a total of 13 line-item flaws over the facility’s timeline. This frequency tracks 61% below the standard Florida facility benchmark. Because seven of those 10 regulatory checks turned up zero initial infractions, the home maintains a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews right out of the gate.

Compliance logs from 2014 to 2016 noted minor administrative hurdles with employee training files and medication storage, which management cleared up. The provider has put together a stable regulatory trajectory since then, as seven of its last eight state visits came back entirely clean, and regulators have never issued a financial fine against the business.

Older adults investigating local care options can look through these multi-year health department summaries to gauge the property’s management continuity. Since the state tracking base reveals an overall low citation count and zero penalty actions alongside a multi-year run of perfect marks, the documentation indicates a reliable operating setup. Arranging an in-person tour is a great way to check out the building layout, view the activity rooms, and discuss care coordination directly with the team.

Overview of Family Extended Care of Sarasota (dba) Cabot Reserve on the Green

Family Extended Care of Sarasota, operating as Cabot Reserve on the Green, is a 65-bed senior community managed by Best Care Senior Living LLC. The facility offers standard assisted living, extended congregate care, adult day services, short-term respite stays, and specialized cognitive programming. Residents have access to health assessments, medication supervision, weekly housekeeping, a beauty and barber salon, and a schedule of group fitness, crafts, music, and local outings. Both English and Spanish are spoken by the on-site staff, and diverse financial options are accepted, including insurance, Medicaid, workers’ compensation, and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State data tracking 53 distinct evaluations since July 2012 record 82 total line-item infractions over the property’s history, resulting in a long-term annual average of 6.3 citations. Because 42 of those 53 regulatory visits historically flagged at least one minor compliance issue on initial reports, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection. Historical files show recurring marks involving background check clearances, personnel training records, resident supervision, and medication management, which resulted in 11 administrative fines totaling $12,600.

Despite these cumulative challenges, public logs verify a notable shift in operational quality: yearly citation counts dropped from 15 in 2018 down to a single note in 2024, culminating in an entirely clean report with zero violations during the most recent standard review on July 24, 2025.

Families analyzing local long-term care options can utilize this multi-year public health database to track the campus’s modern progress. Since the government tracking files outline an elevated historical citation count that has since transitioned into a recent run of flawless evaluations, validating how the management team maintains these updated operational standards is an important step. Scheduling an in-person tour is a practical way to inspect the physical spaces yourself, observe the daily routines, and discuss care tiers and financial coverage with the admissions staff.

State documents summarizing 23 separate evaluations from May 2013 through April 2025 detail 23 total line-item infractions over its operational timeline, breaking down to an average of 1.0 citation per year. This frequency performs roughly 78% better than typical Florida facility baselines. Because 12 of those 23 state visits historically turned up at least one minor required adjustment on initial paperwork, the home holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

Recorded files note occasional, non-systemic marks involving admissions procedures, staff training protocols, dietary standards, and general resident supervision, with an enforcement profile limited to a single $1,500 fine. The most recent standard evaluation on April 22, 2025, logged one deficiency related to social and leisure activities, which the management team quickly resolved.

Older adults investigating regional residential care options can view these multi-year public health logs to evaluate the facility’s day-to-day oversight. Since the public tracking base verifies a low overall citation history, a minimal financial penalty record, and a pattern of rapid corrective action, the current records point to a well-regulated operating framework. Scheduling a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the building layout firsthand, see how the daily activities are coordinated, and talk with the supervisors about financial aid and care plans.

This volume stands about 100% higher than the typical Florida average, and because 42 of those 43 state reviews flagged at least one regulatory issue on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Historical records show recurring deficiencies involving medication management, staff training protocols, care planning, and resident care, which resulted in 14 administrative fines totaling $16,700. Additionally, the facility’s federal tracking history includes a two-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) alongside two recent critical citations regarding quality of life and care plan implementation.

Families checking into local skilled nursing options can use these multi-year public health databases to weigh the provider’s operational history. Since the state and federal records show a high cumulative citation count, several administrative fines, and recent federal quality marks, talking with the current administration about their structural updates is an important precaution. Arranging a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to view the actual condition of the building, observe the nursing routines, and ask management directly about their plans for improving regulatory compliance.

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 1053 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.
