The Brookshire

85 Bulldog Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901-3319
Overview of The Brookshire

The Brookshire is a 135-bed senior property operated by Melbourne FL Opco LLC that provides standard assisted living, specialized memory care, short-term respite stays, and hospice coordination. The campus features 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and nursing assistants, on-site rehabilitation, therapy options, and specialized medical services like pain management and podiatry. Daily operations include a group calendar of crafts, cooking classes, fitness, and social outings alongside regular dining services. Staff members communicate across multiple languages, supporting English, Creole, and Spanish, and the facility maintains Joint Commission accreditation in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 83.

Official compliance summaries capturing 99 separate state evaluations from July 2012 through September 2025 document a high history of 176 total line-item infractions, trending 436% above the standard Florida average. Because 98 of those 99 regulatory visits flagged at least one initial compliance issue, the facility carries a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Compliance logs reveal persistent, historical marks over the 13-year tracking cycle centered on administrative documentation, resident care routines, and dietary service standards. These recurring operational failures resulted in a heavy regulatory penalty profile, with state authorities issuing a total of $83,400 in administrative fines against the operator.

Prospective representatives evaluating regional senior housing choices should carefully examine these long-term government records to assess the provider’s operational durability. Since the state tracking base outlines an extensive history of regulatory citations and substantial financial fines spanning over a decade, checking alternative properties or thoroughly querying the management team regarding structural updates is an important safeguard. Setting up an on-site visit is a practical next step to check out the physical building, look over the common spaces, and speak with the administration directly about their specific compliance correction plans.

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.
