Overview of Plantation Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care

Plantation Oaks Assisted Living and Memory Care is a 72-bed, non-profit community. The facility provides round-the-clock staffing, personalized daily assistance, and specialized memory care programs designed to support residents with varying cognitive needs.

Long-term government monitoring files spanning 13 years document 36 total deficiencies across 38 separate reviews. Breaking down to 1.8 infractions annually, this volume places the building 61% ahead of the standard state average. On a historical scale, 37 of these 38 visits turned up minor citations, meaning the community has rarely hit a zero citations-per-inspection rate for a completely clean review.

Early folders from 2012 through 2017 reveal recurring struggles with building safety, admissions records, and medication handling, which were followed by a solid, multi-year stretch of flawless complaint checks between 2018 and 2021. Minor fluctuations have shown up again lately; state inspectors logged clean visits in 2024, but noted two issues in mid-2023 and cited two more deficiencies regarding record-keeping and medication care during the most recent February 2025 assessment. No administrative fines or severe enforcement actions have ever been levied against the facility.

Interested individuals scanning local senior housing options can use this extensive timeline to get a realistic picture of the home’s compliance patterns. Because the state records show that old habits with paperwork and medication routines occasionally resurface, asking the director about their current staff auditing procedures is a helpful precaution. Dropping in for a walkthrough is also a highly effective way to evaluate the physical condition of the property and observe how the team handles resident needs on a typical afternoon.

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.
