Overview of Elevated Estates Edwinola

Elevated Estates Edwinola is a 184-bed assisted living community in Dade City, Florida, managed by Elevated Estates Edwinola and administered by Larry Prescott. The facility provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care with 24-hour staffing. Accommodations include private studios and multi-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes. Amenities feature restaurant-style dining, a salon, a library, and activities such as exercise programs and live entertainment. The staff communicates in English and Spanish, and the community accepts Medicaid.

Florida regulatory records credit the community with an inspection score of 82/100, placing it ahead of the state average of 77/100. During the 37 state evaluations spanning August 2017 to October 2025, officials issued 39 total citations. Enforcement actions were limited to a single $500 fine, a total sum 96% lower than what is typically assessed against Florida facilities.

While the facility maintains a 54% inspection citation rate, beating the 62% statewide baseline, uncorrected visits yielded a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Yearly deficiencies averaged 4.8. State logs from 2024 and 2025 point to moderate citations regarding medication storage, assistance, labeling, and record-keeping, all of which the operator is addressing through formal corrective strategies.

Individuals looking for independent living, assisted living, or memory care options can evaluate this community for its extensive programming, bilingual support, and recorded compliance data. Reviewing the ongoing administrative updates can provide further clarity on daily operations and care standards.

The facility frequently records zero citations-per-inspection rate outcomes across its timeline, with only five distinct inspection dates yielding any citations over more than a decade.

Overview of The Manor at Lake Jackson – Memory Care

The Manor at Lake Jackson – Memory Care LLC is a 60-bed assisted living facility located in Sebring, Florida, operated by The Manor At Lake Jackson-Memory Care, LLC and managed by administrator Ronald Macneal. Operating within Highlands County for 11 years, the specialized campus focuses entirely on dementia care and memory support services. The physical structure is configured with secured access control points and a fully sprinklered fire safety system to accommodate residents with cognitive impairment.

State administrative logs compiled by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration track 27 total deficiencies across 25 separate evaluation cycles spanning more than a decade. This operational baseline represents an annual average of 3.0 citations, performing 35% better than the Florida state norm. Historic records reveal consistent compliance stretches, noting that 9 out of the 25 total audits, including the most recent complaint review in August 2025, concluded with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Routine checks throughout 2024 identified minor infractions involving resident visitation, background screening paperwork, elopement standards, staffing levels, and employee first aid and dementia training.

Daily operational systems feature 24-hour staffing configurations that integrate licensed nursing support to manage personal care and wellness tracking. On-site amenities provide wireless internet access, an attached beauty salon and barber shop, routine laundry services, and a secured outdoor courtyard.

Overview of Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore

Tapestry Senior Living Lakeshore sits at 2516 W. Lakeshore Dr in Tallahassee, about 3 miles out from downtown. The walk score here lands at 45 out of 100, which means it’s somewhat walkable. You could probably grab a few things on foot, but for most errands, you’re going to want a car or the community’s transportation help.

The building has 160 beds split between studio and one-bedroom units, running from 340 up to 495 square feet. This is both an assisted living and memory care community, so there’s support for residents who need a higher level of daily care alongside those with memory-related needs. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff around the clock, and respite care is available too, which is handy for families who just need short-term coverage. Staff speak English and Spanish, so language barriers shouldn’t get in the way of good communication with residents and their families.

There’s a real activity lineup here; residents can take cooking classes, join dance sessions, hit exercise classes, sit down for cards or games, get their hands dirty in the garden, or catch a movie night. Music programs, yoga, shopping trips, and group outings round things out. Pets are welcome too, which matters more than people sometimes expect when someone’s leaving behind a longtime companion to move into a new place.

On the financial side, Tapestry accepts Medicaid, which opens the door for a lot of families who couldn’t otherwise afford this level of care. State inspectors who review this kind of community typically look at things like medication management, staff training and credentials, environmental safety, and how well resident rights get protected day to day. Those are the standard categories regulators check across every assisted living facility in Florida, not anything unique to this one.

Put it all together and you get a community built around two things at once: structured, round-the-clock care for residents who need it, and a packed activity schedule for people who still want full days. That combination, plus Medicaid acceptance, makes Tapestry a realistic option for a wider range of families than a lot of private-pay-only communities can serve.

Overview of Grand Oaks of Palm City

Grand Oaks of Palm City is an 88-bed community that provides assisted living, specialized memory care, and short-term respite services. Operating under a management partnership with the Visiting Nurse Management Company, the property employs an on-site nursing team composed of licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Residents have access to group fitness classes, arts and crafts sessions, local social outings, and music programming.

State health department evaluations spanning 10 separate inspections over a nine-year period reveal an unblemished compliance history, documenting zero total deficiencies across its entire operational timeline. This flawless track record includes both standard annual checks and a targeted complaint investigation completed in September 2025. Because every state review conducted on the property has returned entirely clear, the facility maintains a perfect zero citations-per-inspection rate since its inception. No administrative fines, financial penalties, or state enforcement actions have ever been issued against the provider.

Prospective residents checking out regional care options can take reassurance from this multi-year run of stable compliance outcomes. Because the public tracking database verifies that the community has met all state benchmarks without a single citation across a nine-year operational history, the files point to an exceptionally organized management framework. Setting up a personal tour of the grounds is a practical way to inspect the community spaces firsthand, look over the memory care wing, and discuss individual care plans with the nursing team.

Overview of Harborchase of Boynton Beach

Harborchase of Boynton Beach is a 160-bed senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, transitional memory care, and full memory care services alongside short-term respite options. The property provides restaurant-style dining options and structured daily programs structured to support residents at varying care levels.

Oversight records maintained by the state detail five total citations across six separate health department evaluations since the property commenced operations. Annually, this calculates to an average of 1.7 infractions, a metric that outpaces the standard Florida senior facility baseline by 83%. Since five of those six state visits turned up at least one minor regulatory mark on the initial paperwork, the home has rarely maintained a zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

Government logs show no signs of systemic or recurring compliance themes; instead, the community established excellent consistency by securing completely clear results during its four most recent evaluations spanning from August 2023 through August 2025. Furthermore, the provider has never been penalized with administrative fines or severe state enforcement actions.

Individuals researching regional senior placement options can analyze these early regulatory outcomes to gauge the campus’s day-to-day management. Because the public tracking database verifies that initial setup hurdles were quickly corrected to achieve a multi-year run of flawless inspections, the files indicate an attentive operating framework. Planning an in-person tour of the building is an excellent method to observe the restaurant facilities firsthand, look over the memory care wings, and discuss care transitions with the supervisors.

Overview of Heartis Venice

Heartis Venice is a 211-bed nursing home that provides short-term Medicare rehabilitation and long-term clinical care. Operating with a 71.4% occupancy rate, the facility features direct medical care from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, delivering an average of 5 hours and 28 minutes of nursing care per resident daily. The community accepts Medicare, insurance, and private pay, with an average length of stay of 36 days for post-acute recovery.

Public regulatory documents collected over seven separate evaluations since July 2021 log eight total deficiencies, an annual citation rate that performs 76% better than the standard Florida nursing home benchmark. Because six of those seven state visits historically uncovered at least one minor infraction, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for flawless reviews.

Early records noted occasional challenges with resident supervision and clinical care procedures, which the operator addressed. State files show a strong compliance trajectory from 2023 onward, with the four most recent inspections, including checks in late 2024 and August 2025, returning completely clear. While federal CMS data grants the facility a five-star staffing rating, quality tracking files indicate opportunities for improvement regarding long-stay functional decline metrics. The provider has never faced financial fines or state enforcement actions.

Interested individuals seeking short-term rehabilitation or full-time skilled nursing can use these multi-year records to evaluate the property’s clinical capabilities. Since the health department data highlights an extensive run of spotless reviews alongside a high daily nursing hours metric, the files point to a well-staffed care environment. Scheduling an in-person tour is a practical next step to check out the therapy departments firsthand, observe the staffing levels during shift changes, and ask the admissions coordinator about their current rehabilitation outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Florida Medicaid cover memory care?

Florida Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 778 memory care communities in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
