AHCA notes that legal actions are issued to the licensee at the time the case began, so a facility that changed hands can carry actions from a former owner. The full inspection reports are on the FloridaHealthFinder profile (licence 9795).

Memory care

Florida has no separate memory care licence. Brookdale Lake Orienta has no extended congregate care (ECC) licence on its AHCA profile. Its FloridaHealthFinder profile lists memory care among its special programs and services; that listing is not a licence or a state certification.

An extended congregate care (ECC) licence lets a resident age in place: on top of standard assisted living services it covers limited nursing services, total help with bathing, dressing and toileting, and supervision of residents with dementia.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov

AHCA's advice: before signing a contract, ask what special services and activities the facility has for people with dementia, how staff are trained for it, and how it keeps residents from wandering off.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov

Costs

Florida does not publish what assisted living facilities charge, and Brookdale Lake Orienta has no rate on file with us. Ask the home for its full rate sheet, including care level fees and any one-time community fee, before you sign.

Each Florida assisted living contract must set out the services, the rates or charges and at least 30 days' written notice of a rate increase.leg.state.fl.us

Florida does not set what assisted living costs: each facility sets its own fees, which vary with size, amenities, specialty licences, location and services.quality.healthfinder.fl.gov
