Position within Florida

12 citations — more than 76% of the 3,013 licensed assisted living facilities in Florida. Compared only within Florida: a citation from AHCA means what it means in Florida, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 5 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated

Not in this record

Fire and life safety. In Florida the fire safety inspection of an assisted living facility is done by the local fire authority under the Florida Fire Prevention Code, not by AHCA, and those reports are not part of this record. What AHCA does cite about the building — physical plant, emergency management and emergency power — is here.

Building-related citations

The citation about the building itself — physical plant and emergency management. Usually the maintenance side’s to fix.

AHCA also holds 17 older citations for this facility from before September 2021, outside the 5-year window these pages use. They are on the state’s own record.

Reflects the AHCA record as pulled September 11, 2026. A recent visit may not appear yet. This is the Florida state licensing record; it is not the federal nursing home survey and the two are never combined.
