Overview of Convivial Jacaranda Trace, LLC

Convivial Jacaranda Trace, LLC is a 63-bed non-profit senior community operated by LifeStar Management. The campus offers standard assisted living, specialized memory care, rehabilitation services, and short-term respite stays across a mix of apartments and villa homes. On-site features include a heated swimming pool, a fitness center, a clubhouse, and multiple dining venues. Residents have access to daily structured programming, such as group fitness, gardening, crafts, music, and local social outings.

Public health summaries capturing 24 distinct regulatory checks between April 2013 and November 2024 catalog 28 total line-item infractions at the facility. This specific tally breaks down to a long-term annual average of 2.6 citations, outperforming the standard Florida baseline by roughly 43%. Because 11 of those 24 state visits historically resulted in at least one minor notation on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Older compliance logs point to scattered hurdles over the years involving personnel files, background screening updates, employee training protocols, and kitchen operations, which led to three small financial penalties totaling $1,500. The modern record highlights steady improvement, showing an entirely spotless evaluation with zero violations during the final standard review on November 21, 2024.

Interested individuals exploring regional retirement communities can utilize these multi-year state archives to gauge the property’s operational continuity. Since the public data outlines a low cumulative citation frequency and minor fine record alongside a completely clear inspection at the close of its tracking period, the documentation shows a stable administrative approach. Arranging a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the villa and apartment floor plans, see the dining rooms, and talk with the staff about daily care coordination.
