Overview of Freedom Plaza Assisted Living and Memory Care

Freedom Plaza Assisted Living and Memory Care is an 88-bed continuing care retirement community operated by Life Care Services LLC. The campus features restaurant-style dining, fitness programming, local transportation, salon services, a library, and heated pools. Residents can access assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care within a single environment supported by 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, short-term respite care, and emergency response systems.

Official health department summaries monitoring 24 separate inspections between August 2013 and October 2025 note 23 total line-item infractions over the property’s operational timeline. This specific volume reveals that the home maintains an annual average that runs roughly 76% below the standard Florida baseline.

Since exactly half of those 24 state visits historically resulted in at least one regulatory mark on initial paperwork, the facility holds a balanced long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection on its first reviews. Government logs show that a standard evaluation in October 2024 flagged four minor issues involving medication assistance, personnel training files, and staffing standards, which the team quickly resolved. The community maintained solid consistency throughout 2025, as its two most recent complaint reviews both came back entirely clean. Furthermore, state regulators have never issued administrative fines or enforcement penalties against the operator.

Older adults looking into multi-level senior housing options can turn to these public records to evaluate the facility’s long-term administrative consistency. Since the public tracking base shows a low overall citation count alongside entirely clear logs following the resolution of the 2024 administrative marks, the current documents point to an organized operating framework. Arranging an in-person tour of the buildings is an excellent next step to check out the layout, look over the dining and rehabilitation areas, and speak directly with the team about how they handle transitions between different care tiers.

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 The Groves at Alliance Community

The Groves at Alliance Community is a 54-bed continuing care retirement community providing independent living, assisted living, and memory care within a faith-based environment. Backed by 24-hour staffing, the campus features a dining hall with flexible meal scheduling, a chapel, a clubhouse, a gym, and local transportation coordination. The property coordinates personal care and wellness routines for residents, offering a multilingual staff fluent in English, Spanish, and Creole while accepting Medicaid benefits.

State oversight logs tracking 21 separate health department evaluations since 2013 record 20 total deficiencies, which breaks down to an annual average of 2.0 citations. This frequency performs roughly 57% better than the typical Florida facility baseline, though because 20 of those 21 visits historically resulted in a minor citation, the property holds a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Regulatory files indicate sporadic compliance notes primarily involving facility record-keeping, staff training logs, background screenings, and emergency management planning. The data reflects an improving regulatory trajectory, culminating in an entirely clear review during the most recent inspection from July 2024. The provider has never faced financial fines or state administrative enforcement actions.

Prospective residents seeking a faith-oriented continuum of care can look to these long-term state reports as an indicator of stable daily operations. Since the public compliance database documents only low-level record-keeping notes that have since transitioned into an entirely clean modern inspection record, the files reflect a highly responsive administrative framework. Scheduling a personal walkthrough is a practical next step to view the chapel and fitness spaces firsthand, explore the campus layout, and discuss residential care tiers with the management team.

Overview of Colonial Assisted Living at West Palm Beach Fl

Colonial Assisted Living at West Palm Beach is a 152-bed facility operated by Senior Housing Management Provider LLC. The community offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, short-term respite care, and rehabilitation services. On-site features include private rooms, restaurant-style dining, and a daily schedule of activities like exercise classes, crafts, and social outings. Staff members support multiple languages, including English, Creole, Spanish, Hebrew, and Russian. Situated in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 98, the property provides immediate pedestrian access to local services and accepts Medicaid and Veterans Affairs benefits.

State regulatory summaries tracking 58 separate inspections between January 2013 and February 2025 document 74 total line-item deficiencies over the facility’s history. This volume stands about 124% higher than the typical Florida average, and because 57 of those 58 state visits turned up at least one compliance mark on initial paperwork, the home has a low long-term zero citations-per-inspection rate for absolute perfection.

Historical files note recurring infractions involving medication management, staffing standards, background screening updates, and physical plant safety, which resulted in 15 administrative fines totaling $36,700. However, public records indicate a major shift in modern compliance, as the most recent evaluation on February 7, 2025, came back entirely clean with zero deficiencies noted.

Prospective representatives evaluating long-term care options in the area can use these government tracking logs to weigh the property’s administrative history. Since the state data highlights a high historical citation volume and significant fines alongside a completely clean evaluation at the close of its tracking period, verifying how the team maintains these modern corrections is a smart safeguard. Planning a personal walkthrough is an effective next step to evaluate the physical plant yourself, view the residential spaces, and talk with the supervisors about financial aid and care coordination.

Overview of The Cascades at Delray Senior Living

The Cascades at Delray Senior Living is an 82-bed non-profit retirement community located in Delray Beach, Florida. Managed by administrator Harold Dean and operated by Delray Assisted Living LLC, the campus utilizes a continuing-care model that integrates independent living, standard assisted living, memory care, and post-acute physical rehabilitation. The property functions as a residential health campus, blending 24-hour staffing models with professional clinical oversight.

Oversight files preserved by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration register 10 total deficiencies across eight separate inspection cycles over a five-year period. This historical operational baseline averages 1.2 citations annually, performing 74% better than the Florida state average. Early regulatory logs show strong baseline trends, with the initial January 2020 licensure check and three subsequent complaint investigations concluding with a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. However, recent routine field audits note emerging training and administrative gaps; both a July 2022 review and a November 2024 inspection logged three citations each, focusing on emergency planning, medication records, staffing standards, and employee certifications in dementia and advanced directive care. State records show an operational status free of administrative corporate fines or active enforcement constraints, though the facility’s state licensure status is noted as “In Review” following its passing of an April 30, 2026 expiration milestone.

Regarding physical operations, a multilingual care team fluent in Creole, English, and Spanish manages daily personal care and medication assistance. The building incorporates private suites with campus-wide wireless internet access, an on-site therapy gym, a library and reading lounge, outdoor terraces, a full-service beauty salon, and 24-hour concierge coverage. The culinary department handles chef-prepared meal services daily, while the recreation staff organizes structured community events and social programming.

Prospective residents evaluating local care tracks should directly verify the current licensing status with state health authorities to confirm ongoing remediation timelines. The 82-capacity layout serves community members navigating progressive physical limitations or cognitive decline who benefit from seamless transitions between independent housing and specialized memory care. Sponsors are encouraged to contact the main office to arrange a walkthrough of the therapy gym, review recent staff training updates with the administrator, and confirm active bed openings before initiating the intake process.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Florida

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Florida Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Florida Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 258 nursing homes in Florida. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home 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 nursing homes 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.
