What's the difference between assisted living and memory care?
Assisted living helps with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, medication — while residents stay largely independent. Memory care is a secured setting with staff trained specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia, higher supervision, and programming built around cognitive decline. Many communities offer both, so a resident can move between them without changing campuses.
How are Longboat Key communities scored?
Every scored community gets an independent 0–10 CARES score built from five dimensions — care, dining, social life, amenities, and facilities — computed from each community's published information and aggregated public reviews, the same consistent way for every community. No community pays us, so no score is ever for sale. (See exactly how it works on our CARES methodology page.)
