Assisted living in Volusia and Flagler

What is assisted living in Florida?

An assisted living facility (ALF) is a residence licensed by AHCA under Part I of Chapter 429 that provides housing, meals, supervision and help with personal care and medications to adults who can still transfer with assistance and do not need 24-hour nursing.

As of November 6, 2026, AHCA lists 105 assisted living facilities across Volusia (87) and Flagler (18) counties, 4,998 licensed beds in all. 8 of them carry a limited mental health license, 11 limited nursing services and 3 extended congregate care, and 42 tell AHCA they run a memory care program.

Who is assisted living right for?

People who need help several times a day with bathing, dressing, medications or meals, who are unsafe or isolated alone, but who do not need round-the-clock nursing, are the typical residents.

Specialty licenses (LNS, ECC, LMH) let some buildings serve people with more complex needs. See the license categories.

What does assisted living cost?

CareScout's 2025 Florida median is $66,000 a year, about $5,500 a month; no Volusia or Flagler figure is published, and actual quotes vary with apartment size, care level and building age.

Florida Medicaid long-term care plans can pay for assisted living services in contracted buildings and OSS can help with room and board for low-income residents, but most residents pay privately.

What should we check before choosing an ALF?

Check the AHCA license and any specialty license, the latest standard survey and its citations, any fines or recent ownership change, who is awake overnight, whether a generator is reported, and the contract's fee schedule and 45-day notice terms.

Our facility pages put each larger ALF's state record on one page with nearby alternatives and questions tied to that record.
