Overview of Lisbet at Wellington Bay

Lisbet at Wellington Bay is a 150-bed community providing assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services. Rates begin at $3,700 per month, and the campus features 24-hour staffing, short-term respite stays, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, sports courts, walking paths, and an art studio.

State regulatory files covering the property’s two-and-a-half-year operating history document a single total deficiency across three separate visits. This minimal volume tracks out to an annual average of 0.3 citations, performing 93% better than the standard Florida average. Two of the three inspections came back entirely clear, resulting in a high zero citations-per-inspection rate for clean reviews.

Both the initial April 2023 opening inspection and an October 2024 complaint check were completely spotless, while the sole infraction on record was flagged during an August 2025 monitoring check regarding staffing standards. No financial fines or state administrative actions have ever been levied against the provider.

Older adults investigating regional senior housing options can look to this initial regulatory record as an indicator of consistent administrative oversight. Because the public records indicate that the home has maintained near-perfect scores since its launch, the data points to an organized operating framework. Scheduling a personal walkthrough is still a great way to inspect the expansive recreational amenities firsthand, observe the layout of the memory care wing, and discuss current staffing routines with the management team.

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.
