City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total monetary fines or penalties in the reporting window from the state source. A single large fine can dominate this figure.
A named contact for the facility. Hover the name to see their role — Administrator (state administrator of record or facility-provided administrator), Nursing Director, Medical Director, or Staff. The most authoritative available is shown.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.

Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville

10660 Old St Augustine Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32257-1076
Overview of Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville

Wyndham Lakes Jacksonville offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Jacksonville, Florida. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care gives a family caregiver a short-term stay option when they need to travel or recover.

Having these care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level of care would not require leaving the community. The home has 258 beds, so it is a larger community with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. A Walk Score of 94 out of 100 places the area in a walker’s paradise, meaning daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Medicaid is accepted as a payment source for eligible residents receiving care, and the pet-friendly policy allows residents to keep pets. Chef-prepared dining means meals are prepared on site. Recreation options include an in-house movie theater, outdoor garden spaces, exercise classes, and local outings. Danielle Ashby serves as the administrator, and Pacifica Augustine Road operates the community.

Overview of Elevated Estates Forest Oaks

Elevated Estates Forest Oaks offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Spring Hill, Florida.

The three options cover different kinds of support.

The community has 135 beds, and its range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time. Respite care can also support a family seeking a temporary arrangement. Medicaid is accepted, giving families a payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay.

Jennifer Cavaliere serves as the administrator, and pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to bring a pet when moving into the community. Dining includes themed events and an always available menu, giving residents alternatives to a single fixed meal selection, while comfortable patios and welcoming gardens provide outdoor spaces. Transportation services can support errands or outings, but a Walk Score of 36 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; residents who no longer drive would need transportation for those trips.
