Ask to see the memory care area in the evening, not only on the daytime tour.

These are the facility's own entries on its state profile, not AHCA findings, so confirm each one on the tour. A therapy program listed here is usually delivered by an outside provider billing Medicare, so ask who provides it and how often. Nurse availability "3rd party" means a contracted agency rather than facility staff.

Forest Trace Senior Living does not publish rates on its state record, and we do not quote facility prices. CareScout's 2025 survey puts Florida's median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $66,000 a year, about $5,500 a month.
The AHCA profile lists no Medicaid program, so plan on private pay, long-term care insurance or VA benefits. Florida's Statewide Medicaid Managed Care Long-Term Care program (SMMC LTC) can pay for services in an assisted living facility that contracts with the resident's plan, but not for room and board; see the SMMC LTC guide. Ask for the written fee schedule, any level-of-care fees, and how much notice the community gives before a rate increase.
Ask for the license holder, overnight staffing and the latest AHCA inspection first; those three answers tell you more about Forest Trace Senior Living than the model apartment does.
Raise it with the administrator first, then with Florida's Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program at 1-888-831-0404, a free and confidential advocate for residents of Broward County assisted living. Complaints about license rules go to AHCA, which investigates and can cite the facility.
For help with benefits, Medicaid screening or caregiver support, the Elder Helpline at 1-800-963-5337 connects to the local Area Agency on Aging. Suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation should be reported to the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-962-2873. Our AHCA complaint guide walks through what to write and what happens next.
