Overview of St. Mark Assisted Living Center

St. Mark Assisted Living Center is a 75-bed non-profit community operated by St Mark Village Inc and managed by administrator Rhonda Coates. The facility features independent living, assisted living, and memory care options with 24-hour staffing, licensed nursing, rehabilitation services, and an on-site medical director. Supported by bilingual English and Spanish-speaking staff, residents receive chef-prepared meals and have access to secure courtyards, screened patios, and daily cognitive-focused activities like fitness classes, music, and yoga.

State records across a 10-year period show 24 total deficiencies over 16 separate inspections, averaging 1.2 infractions per year. This overall frequency tracks 74% lower than the state baseline. The facility established a long history of zero citations-per-inspection rate outcomes, maintaining a clean regulatory record for nine consecutive years between 2013 and 2022. However, a December 2023 review noted a shift with eight citations covering staffing standards, training requirements, records documentation, and emergency management. These issues have since been corrected, and the facility’s overall penalty history is limited to a single $1,500 fine with no severe enforcement actions.

Prospective residents checking into regional continuing care options can look to the community’s extensive history of clean reports as an indicator of long-term operational capabilities. Because the late 2023 evaluation highlighted specific gaps in staffing and emergency protocols, it is a good idea to ask management for details on their updated corrective procedures. Spending time at the building to speak with the nursing staff directly can help ensure the daily care setup matches your exact physical and memory support requirements.

Overview of Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon

Operated by Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon, Inc, Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon is a 350-bed senior living community at 5617 NW 7th Street in Miami. The high-rise facility welcomes insurance, HMO coverage, Medicaid, and Veteran Affairs benefits, creating several routes for families to access care.

With a Walk Score of 73, the community sits in a really walkable neighborhood, so most daily errands can be finished on foot, and many essentials are nearby. This accessibility can be especially beneficial for visiting family members or occupants who enjoy keeping an active lifestyle in the surrounding area.

From an inspection viewpoint, Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon has performed well on complaint investigations, with no deficiencies noted in these focused reviews. While historical inspections have pointed to occasional isolated issues in food service standards and some recurring themes around resident supervision, physical plant maintenance, and staff training, the facility’s current standing mirrors management’s attention to ongoing operational needs.

To see Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon’s layout, offered room types, and daily programming firsthand, it’s recommended that families considering it tour it in person.

Overview of Family Extended Care of Spring Hill Nw

Family Extended Care of Spring Hill Nw is a 58-bed senior living property operated by Best Care Senior Living At Spring Hill LLC. The community provides standard assisted living, memory care, short-term respite care, and adult day services, supported by a bilingual staff fluent in English and Spanish. Group activities include fitness classes, gardening, crafts, and social outings, and the facility accepts Medicaid benefits.

State documents summarizing 23 separate evaluations from May 2013 through April 2025 detail 23 total line-item infractions over its operational timeline, breaking down to an average of 1.0 citation per year. This frequency performs roughly 78% better than typical Florida facility baselines. Because 12 of those 23 state visits historically turned up at least one minor required adjustment on initial paperwork, the home holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

Recorded files note occasional, non-systemic marks involving admissions procedures, staff training protocols, dietary standards, and general resident supervision, with an enforcement profile limited to a single $1,500 fine. The most recent standard evaluation on April 22, 2025, logged one deficiency related to social and leisure activities, which the management team quickly resolved.

Older adults investigating regional residential care options can view these multi-year public health logs to evaluate the facility’s day-to-day oversight. Since the public tracking base verifies a low overall citation history, a minimal financial penalty record, and a pattern of rapid corrective action, the current records point to a well-regulated operating framework. Scheduling a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the building layout firsthand, see how the daily activities are coordinated, and talk with the supervisors about financial aid and care plans.

Overview of Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Mc

Celebration Villa of Winter Haven Mc is a 40-bed specialized memory care community managed by Priority Life Care, LLC and operated by VOP Winter Haven Memory, LLC. The property focuses exclusively on dementia and Alzheimer’s care, offering standard residential services, short-term respite stays, hospice coordination, and on-site dining. Features include a secure courtyard, large windows, lawn games, and daily wellness programs like crafts, cooking classes, group fitness, and social outings. Staffed by bilingual employees fluent in English and Spanish, the campus is situated in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 76.

State regulatory summaries tracking 31 separate inspections over a four-year period record 41 total line-item infractions, a volume that sits roughly 24% higher than the typical Florida facility baseline. Because 14 of those 31 visits historically resulted in a minor required correction on initial paperwork, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Historical files note recurring challenges with background check updates, staff training files, particularly regarding dementia care protocols, building maintenance, and personnel records, resulting in two small fines totaling $1,000. While the operator maintains an overall citation rate below the state average, the most recent review on October 16, 2025, marked a notable spike in oversight scrutiny, logging 12 Class 3 deficiencies spanning admissions paperwork, personnel files, background screening compliance, and visitation rules.

Families exploring local memory care settings can use these government tracking records to evaluate the facility’s day-to-day management trends. Since the latest 2025 state evaluations show a sudden increase in paperwork and staffing marks despite a historically low financial penalty record, asking the current administration how they have addressed these specific points is a vital safeguard. Planning an in-person walkthrough is a great next step to check out the layout of the secure courtyard, observe how the memory care team interacts with residents, and discuss updated compliance plans directly with the director.

Overview of Canterfield of Clay County

Canterfield of Clay County is a 100-bed senior community managed by Jacksonville Canterfield Management LLC and operated by Canterfield of Jacksonville, LLC.

On-site services include daily meals, local transportation, and a group schedule featuring cooking classes, gardening, crafts, fitness, and social outings. Situated in a downtown neighborhood, the campus sits within walking distance of local resources.

Public health databases capturing 15 distinct state reviews between May 2017 and June 2025 record a final count of 12 line-item notes across the provider’s history. This specific citation tally tracks about 64% below the standard Florida facility benchmark. Because 11 of those 15 oversight visits turned up completely clean initial reports, the property holds a high long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews.

The few scattered marks historically logged by state teams involved minor administrative paperwork and general care procedures, all of which management addressed. The property’s operational continuity is underscored by its latest evaluation on June 9, 2025, which returned zero violations, and the business has never faced an administrative fine throughout its timeline.

Interested individuals scanning local care options can check these multi-year government summaries to analyze the operator’s compliance patterns. Since the state archives confirm a very low citation volume and zero penalties alongside a multi-year trend of flawless reports, the files show a reliable administrative framework. Planning a personal walkthrough is a great next step to check out the layout, view the activity setups, and talk with the team about care coordination.

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.
