Florida assisted living · the data

The invisible majority

Most Florida assisted living facilities are not large communities. They are small residential homes, and most of them do not appear on the maps and directories families search. The official inspection record is the structured record this segment has.

The field is small homes

48% of Florida’s 3,015 licensed assisted living facilities - 1,455 homes - are licensed for 1 to 6 beds. They hold 7% of the state’s licensed beds.

The field is two populations. A minority of large communities hold most of the beds; a majority of small residential homes hold a thin slice. The small homes are the ones a family is least likely to find on a map.

Most of the field is off the map

42% of Florida’s licensed assisted living facilities - 1,278 of 3,015 - have no Google Maps presence at all. Among the 1-6 bed homes, the share is 35%.

A facility with no map listing still has a license, a bed count, an inspection history, and a deficiency record on the official Florida system. That record exists whether or not a directory ever lists the home. InspectedCare scores these facilities on the same standard as every other licensed facility, within their own size band.

The record only official data holds

The homes that consumer products cannot see are the ones the state record describes in full. That is the point of scoring on the official inspection record: it covers the whole licensed field, not the part of it that also happens to be a marketed business.
