The Waverly license and contact information

What level of care can The Waverly provide under its Florida license?

The Waverly can provide standard assisted living only. With a standard license only, the community can help with bathing, dressing, meals and medication assistance, but it cannot provide the extra nursing that an ECC or LNS license allows. Residents whose needs pass that line generally have to move.

In its AHCA profile the community reports a memory-care program. Florida has no separate memory-care license, so ask how the secured area is laid out and which of the dementia rules in s. 429.178, F.S. it follows. AHCA's profile lists nurse availability as: None. No Medicaid services are listed on its AHCA profile, so plan on private pay, long-term care insurance or VA benefits unless the community confirms otherwise.

What did AHCA find when it inspected The Waverly?
