Overview of Forest Trace Senior Living

Forest Trace Senior Living is a 262-bed facility that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and age-restricted apartment options alongside on-site physical therapy and short-term respite care. Backed by 24-hour staffing, the property features a heated swimming pool, a yoga and pilates studio, fitness classes, and regular dining services. The community is supported by a multilingual staff fluent in English, Spanish, and Creole.

State compliance documents covering 32 separate inspections since 2015 record a total of 38 line-item deficiencies, creating an annual average of 3.5 citations that sits about 15% higher than the typical Florida benchmark. Because 31 of those 32 regulatory visits turned up at least one minor infraction on initial paperwork, the home holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for unblemished reviews. Historical files highlight recurring issues with building maintenance, resident care, infection control, staff training logs, and emergency planning.

The provider’s enforcement profile includes three administrative fines totaling $25,500, and the most recent routine evaluation from July 15, 2025, noted seven deficiencies spanning resident care, personnel files, safety, and infection protocols, following a clean monitoring visit earlier that April.

Interested individuals researching local senior housing choices should carefully evaluate these long-term government monitoring trends. Since public health records show an elevated citation history alongside several fines and ongoing 2025 notes regarding building maintenance and staff training files, asking the current management team to outline their modern corrective actions is an important safeguard. Setting up an on-site visit is a practical next step to check the actual physical condition of the building yourself, view the common spaces, and talk with the supervisors about their updated compliance plans.

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.
