The Atrium at Boca Raton

1080 Northwest 15Th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33486
Overview of The Atrium at Boca Raton

A 160-bed assisted living community administered by Lisa Thweatt in northwest Boca Raton is The Atrium at Boca Raton. Operated by Colonial Assisted Living At Boca Raton LLC under owner Jerry Remedor, the community is set to serve older adults needing help with everyday activities while maintaining as much independence as possible. It takes Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs benefits, insurance and HMO coverage, and private pay, giving families numerous ways to fund care.

The average stay duration is about 104 days, reflecting a mix of residents who stay briefly for respite care and those who stay for longer-term support. Daily attentive care is substantial: residents receive a total of roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care per day, with registered nurses providing 52 minutes daily, nurse aides contributing 2 hours and 7 minutes, and licensed practical nurses adding 32 minutes. This staffing groundwork supports routine daily needs and specialized care requirements. Meanwhile, dining is a structured part of daily life, with restaurant-style meals prepared fresh each day and tailored to meet nutritional standards. The community also has respite care for families needing short-term support, plus financial assistance to help make care accessible. These services make the facility a pragmatic choice for long-term residents and those seeking brief, temporary relief care. The community is found in a residential area of Boca Raton that’s car-dependent, meaning most errands and activities necessitate driving. The location is accessible by major roads for families visiting from outside the area, but the immediate neighborhood doesn’t offer substantial walkable shopping or dining options.

Overview of Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility

Homewood Lodge Assisted Living Facility is a 36-bed memory care community specializing in care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and progressive dementia. The property features 24-hour staffing, secure perimeter accommodations, medication assistance, dietitian-approved meals, housekeeping, and transportation coordination alongside cognitive engagement activities like exercise, gardening, and crafts. Financial assistance through Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits is accepted.

Government health department summaries recorded since 2014 show a total of 18 infractions spread across 18 separate regulatory visits. On a comparative scale, this citation count performs roughly 45% better than the state average for typical Florida senior communities. Since each historical oversight check turned up some type of minor required fix, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on initial audits.

While older files pointed to low-level physical plant safety and building upkeep tasks, the operator resolved those items and established a strong modern compliance record. This trend is underscored by back-to-back flawless reviews during both the March 2024 inspection and the most recent evaluation from October 2024. Furthermore, state regulators have never issued any financial penalties or severe administrative orders against the business.

Prospective representatives researching specialized dementia placement options can take reassurance from this multi-year run of stable compliance outcomes. Because public records verify that earlier building maintenance notes were fully corrected, giving way to an entirely clean track record throughout 2024, the data points to an attentive administrative framework. Scheduling an on-site walkthrough is an excellent way to inspect the perimeter security yourself, view the common spaces, and talk with the team about how they organize their daily memory support routines.

Residents have access to daily structured programming, such as group fitness, gardening, crafts, music, and local social outings.

Public health summaries capturing 24 distinct regulatory checks between April 2013 and November 2024 catalog 28 total line-item infractions at the facility. This specific tally breaks down to a long-term annual average of 2.6 citations, outperforming the standard Florida baseline by roughly 43%. Because 11 of those 24 state visits historically resulted in at least one minor notation on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on first reviews.

Older compliance logs point to scattered hurdles over the years involving personnel files, background screening updates, employee training protocols, and kitchen operations, which led to three small financial penalties totaling $1,500. The modern record highlights steady improvement, showing an entirely spotless evaluation with zero violations during the final standard review on November 21, 2024.

Interested individuals exploring regional retirement communities can utilize these multi-year state archives to gauge the property’s operational continuity. Since the public data outlines a low cumulative citation frequency and minor fine record alongside a completely clear inspection at the close of its tracking period, the documentation shows a stable administrative approach. Arranging a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to check out the villa and apartment floor plans, see the dining rooms, and talk with the staff about daily 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.
