City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.

Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.

Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of The Palace at Weston

The Palace at Weston offers assisted living, independent living and memory care in Weston, Florida. In assisted living, residents keep their own apartments while receiving help with dressing, bathing and medication. Independent living combines private housing with community services but no daily care, while memory care provides a secured, supervised setting for someone at risk of wandering.

Having all three care levels in one community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time. A resident can move to a different level of care without leaving the community or starting over socially.

The community has 352 beds, which means a larger resident and staff population and typically more programming. Housing choices include studios, where sleeping and living space share one private room; one bedroom apartments, which keep those areas separate; and two bedroom layouts that can suit a couple moving together.

The surrounding area has a Walk Score of 56 out of 100 and is considered somewhat walkable. Some errands can be completed on foot, giving a resident who no longer drives the possibility of handling certain nearby trips independently.

Zachi Shaham serves as administrator. Helen Homes Of Weston Development operates the community.

The community has 85 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. A studio provides a single private living space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Located in the Crafts neighborhood, the area has a Walk Score of 97 out of 100, meaning daily errands generally do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Overview of Bay Oaks Historic Retirement Residence

Bay Oaks Historic Retirement Residence sits in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, a few blocks from Biscayne Bay. The address, 435 NE 34th Street, puts residents in one of the city’s more walkable pockets (Walk Score 87), where visiting family can handle most errands on foot. The community has been operating for 46 years, which is a long track record for a 32-bed assisted living facility in a market where smaller homes open and close with some frequency.

The size is the defining feature here. Thirty-two beds with a 1:1 staff-to-resident ratio means licensed nurses and CNAs aren’t stretched thin. Around-the-clock staffing covers nights and weekends. Rooms are individually furnished, private or semi-private, with laundry handled on-site and transportation available when residents need to get somewhere.

Three chef-prepared meals come out of the kitchen daily, made from scratch. The activity calendar runs six days a week: Brain Teasers, Watercoloring Lessons, Yoga/Pilates, Community Social events, and games. For a 32-bed community, that’s a structured programming slate.

State inspections have tended to center on staffing and staff credentials and care planning and documentation. Bay Oaks accepts Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS, Veterans Affairs Benefits, Workers Compensation, and insurance and HMO plans. Starting price is $10,000 per month. Dorian Chen serves as administrator.

Bay Oaks is a small, tightly staffed assisted living option in a walkable Miami neighborhood, suited to seniors who want close attention, a structured daily routine, and access to a wide range of payment pathways.

Starting Price $5,500 - $10,000/Month

Room options include private and non-private rooms, accommodating residents who need either a private room or a shared arrangement. Residents can use the backyard garden and benches, join daily planned events, and eat home-cooked kosher meals in the dining room.

Accepted payment sources are CHAMPUS, Insurance and/or HMO, Medicaid, Veteran Affairs Benefits and Workers Compensation, so families using one of these sources can apply it toward care at the community. Sela Amrani serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 43 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride.

Overview of Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon

Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon in Miami, FL, offers memory care alongside assisted living and respite care.

Personal care is what’s delivered by the assisted living side of the community. A wandering risk is what memory care is designed to address, keeping a resident secure and supervised. Respite covers for families who need a short booking, so that someone else who usually does the caring can take a break for a while.

Flagami is the neighborhood the community is situated in, and the Walk Score for it is 73, which lands it in the very walkable category. A lot can get done on foot. Medicaid, Veterans Affairs Benefits, and insurance or an HMO are the three payment routes available. Barbara Galindo is the administrator here.

Needs that will deepen can be met by moving up a care level here, instead of moving out to somewhere else. Licensed nursing here is provided to 350 beds in a high-rise, high-capacity setting.

Overview of The Residences by Rsr

The Residences by Rsr, in Miami, FL, provides assisted living, and respite care comes with it. Workers compensation, Veteran Affairs Benefits, Medicaid, and insurance or HMO coverage are the accepted payers.

Bathing, dressing, and medication are what assisted living hands over to staff, and other than that, a resident lives privately and independently in a studio, a one-bedroom, or a semi-private room. The studio is one private space; the bedroom separates the bedroom from the rest of the living area; and the semi-private room is shared. Respite is where a family turns when the house itself cannot be lived in for a while, during a renovation or a move.

The building has 170 beds, and a Walk Score of 54 marks the area as somewhat Walkable, with some errands manageable on foot. The administrator is Rogelio Carrodeguas, and Reign Gardens Group LLC operates the community.

An in-house physician provides physician services within the community, and residents can receive kosher, home-cooked meals. Daily life includes yoga, Zumba, group exercise, and indoor and outdoor activities, with pets allowed; a Walk Score of 67 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby destinations independently.

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.

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.
