Licensed assisted living communities: 13

Florida's public data download doesn't say which communities offer dementia care. These licensed assisted living communities in Port Orange are worth calling to ask.

How we rank these: we don't. Sort them yourself.

Providers appear with their government data: CMS star ratings where they exist, license status, capacity, and inspection history. You can sort them yourself. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.

Sponsored placements, when they appear, are always labeled. How we make money →
