What services does MorseLife Memory Care Residence report to AHCA?

On its AHCA profile, MorseLife Memory Care Residence reports special programs: audiology, massage therapy/spa, memory care, occupational therapy, pet therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy; languages spoken: English; nurse availability: direct part-time; religious affiliation: Jewish.

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.

How does MorseLife Memory Care Residence compare with other Palm Beach County assisted living?

MorseLife Memory Care Residence is one of 41 open AHCA assisted living licenses with a West Palm Beach address and the 2nd largest by licensed beds; 21 of those 41 are small homes licensed for six or fewer residents.

Other large Palm Beach County communities with full profiles: Cresthaven (West Palm Beach, 308 beds), Watercrest Palm Beach Gardens (Palm Beach Gardens, 256 beds), Grand Villa of Delray East (Delray Beach, 200 beds), Tuscan Gardens of Delray Beach (Delray Beach, 175 beds).

How much does MorseLife Memory Care Residence cost?

MorseLife Memory Care Residence does not publish rates on its state record, and we do not quote facility prices.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.

What should I ask on a tour of MorseLife Memory Care Residence?

Ask for the license holder, overnight staffing and the latest AHCA inspection first; those three answers tell you more about MorseLife Memory Care Residence than the model apartment does.

  1. Who holds AHCA license #12684 today, and who manages the building day to day?
  2. How many awake staff are on each floor overnight, and how many residents does each aide cover?
  3. Is a nurse on site, on call or by contract, and what can they do under this license?
  4. What changed after the October 17, 2023 AHCA complaint inspection?
  5. How is the memory care area secured, and how were staff trained under Florida's dementia rule?
  6. What triggers a move-out, and how much written notice will we get?

Who do I contact with a concern about care at MorseLife Memory Care Residence?

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 Palm Beach 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.
