What care levels is HarborChase of Palm Beach Gardens licensed for?

HarborChase of Palm Beach Gardens holds an Extended Congregate Care (ECC) license, which lets residents stay as their needs grow, with nursing services provided directly or by contract. It also reports a Memory Care program to AHCA.

For a parent with dementia, the Florida rule is F.S. 429.178. A facility that advertises Alzheimer's care must keep an awake staff member on duty at all hours once it has 17 or more residents, run activities for cognitively impaired residents, and train staff under F.S. 430.5025. Ask to see the memory care area in the evening, not only on the daytime tour.

AHCA must send a registered nurse to monitor an ECC facility at least twice a year (F.S. 429.07), so an ECC license brings more state oversight as well as more care.
