Senior living in Opa-locka, at a glance
Opa-locka has 8 residential senior living communities listed with us in Miami-Dade County, part of Florida's Southeast Florida region: 8 offering assisted living, 6 offering independent living. Many campuses offer several care levels, so a resident can move between them without leaving the people and places they know.
Because Florida has seen active ownership turnover in the recent M&A wave, we track each community's current record — so what you see reflects who runs it today, not two owners ago. Every scored community below carries a CARES score built from care, dining, social life, amenities, and facilities. For budgeting, Florida's statewide median for assisted living is about $5,610/month (Genworth); exact pricing in Opa-locka depends on care level and apartment — ask CARA for current quotes.
Common questions about Opa-locka senior living
How many senior living communities are in Opa-locka, Florida?
Senior Community Stars lists 8 residential senior living communities in Opa-locka (Miami-Dade County) — 8 offering assisted living, 6 offering independent living. Many communities offer more than one care level on the same campus.
How much does senior living cost in Opa-locka?
Community-specific pricing varies with care level and apartment, so we don't guess at it — ask CARA or the community for a current quote. As a statewide baseline, Florida's median assisted living cost is about $5,610/month, and a semi-private nursing home room runs about $10,342/month (Genworth Cost of Care data).
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 Opa-locka 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.)
