Sonata Coconut Creek

4175 W Sample Rd, Coconut Creek, FL 33073
Overview of Sonata Coconut Creek

Sonata Coconut Creek has 104 beds in Coconut Creek, Florida, at 4175 W Sample Rd. Walk Score of 45 means you can reach some things without a car, but you’re mostly driving.

The facility is for-profit and managed by Jennifer Forbes. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and private pay. The average resident stays 59 days, which flags this as short-stay rehabilitation, not long-term care. Occupancy runs 92.1 percent, ranked 81st in Florida for how full the place is.

The two most recent inspections, in April and March 2025, found nothing. Over fourteen years of inspections, the facility pulled 28 total citations. That’s 15 percent below what Florida nursing homes average.

Citations per inspection came to 1 on average, versus 1.3 statewide. In plain language: this facility performs better than the typical Florida nursing home on inspection criteria.

There have been three fines, totaling $1,500. The average facility in Florida gets fined $11,600, so Sonata came out way ahead on that metric.

Deficiencies that show up historically range from medication management and dietary standards to resident care protocols. The facility saw Class 3 repeat citations for medication assistance and storage, plus dietary issues. But nothing hit the “immediate jeopardy” or harm threshold. No resident harm findings on file.

Nursing staffing is 3 hours 21 minutes per resident per day for total nursing hours. That’s 24 percent below the Florida average of 4 hours 25 minutes. Weekends are even tighter: 3 hours 17 minutes per resident. Below-average staffing is the data signature here.

The facility operates named programs: Sonata Safe (security focus), Positive Approach (memory care training), Live It Up (wellness activities), Duets (entertainment), and At Your Service (daily living support). The staff speaks English, Spanish, and Creole.

Sonata Coconut Creek presents a regulatory profile better than most Florida nursing homes combined with below-average staffing levels and a short-stay rehabilitation focus. The clean recent inspection history and lower-than-state-average fines suggest the facility manages compliance reasonably well, but the persistent historical issues with medication and dietary protocols point to recurring operational pressures. This is a facility you’d evaluate less on how it looks in inspection data and more on what staff-to-resident ratios mean for your loved one’s day-to-day care experience.

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 765 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.
