Questions to ask when you tour
Memory care certification scope
The state certifies up to 30 memory-care beds here — ask how many are currently occupied and what the admission criteria are for that unit.
Type B license and care limits
A Type B license allows care for residents who need staff assistance to evacuate — ask which specific services and care needs fall outside what this license permits.
Management company's role on-site
Sunshine Retirement Living LLC manages the community for the LP owner — ask how decisions about staffing levels and care policies are made between the two.
Staffing ratios by shift
With 65 licensed beds and a 30-bed memory-care unit, ask how many direct-care staff are scheduled per shift in each part of the building.
License renewal in 2027
The current license and memory-care certification both expire February 2027 — ask whether any planned changes to ownership, capacity, or services are expected at renewal.
