Yes. John Knox Village of Florida holds Florida AHCA assisted living license #5424, listed as active as of October 24, 2026, for 64 residents at 840 Lakeside Cir in Pompano Beach.
John Knox Village of Florida was first licensed by AHCA on May 7, 1991, about 35 years ago, with no change of ownership on the AHCA record.
Few licenses in Broward County go back this far. Long tenure helps, but ask when the building was last renovated and who manages it now.
John Knox Village of Florida holds an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license, which lets residents stay as their needs grow, with nursing services provided directly or by contract; a Limited Nursing Services (LNS) license, which adds specific nursing tasks to standard ALF care.
No Memory Care program is reported, so if dementia is part of the picture, ask directly whether the facility advertises Alzheimer's care and how it meets F.S. 429.178.
AHCA must send a registered nurse to monitor an ECC facility at least twice a year (F.S. 429.07), so an ECC license brings more state oversight as well as more care.

Rates at John Knox Village of Florida come from the community, not the state; AHCA records carry no prices. For scale, CareScout's 2025 Florida median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living is $66,000 a year, roughly $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 John Knox Village of Florida than the model apartment does.
