Tampa Bay Assisted Living Directory — 57 verified communities

How this list was screened

Only Florida Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties were considered — licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Each included community met the bar on a screened enforcement record.

• Small board-and-care homes are included where they earn their place on a clean enforcement record — with staffing-stability and family-reference questions flagged for your tour.
• “From” prices are third-party snapshots and can exclude care charges, deposits and unit-specific fees.
• Verify the current license record on FloridaHealthFinder before deciding — several included communities carry license-renewal or license-verification flags noted on their cards.
• Value / Mid-level / Luxury tiers are assigned from verified pricing plus the screened record: Value communities are the “smart money” picks — quality at accessible prices; Mid-level is the broad middle of the market; Luxury requires premium positioning AND a clean enforcement record — expensive alone never qualifies (expensive ≠ excellent).

Why the list stops at 56

The evidence supported 57 without weakening the criteria. Communities were screened out for serious enforcement findings, stale or closed licenses, or unverifiable licensing — and every included-with-caveat community is flagged on its card. Only communities that earned their place are listed.
