Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) · Jacksonville Senior Advisor
Sandra Boyd is a Certified Dementia Practitioner who guides Jacksonville families through memory care decisions across the metro. She helps caregivers understand how Florida licenses memory care — a base Assisted Living Facility license under Florida Statutes Ch. 429, Part I and Rule 59A-36, F.A.C., layered with Extended Congregate Care (ECC), Limited Nursing Services (LNS), or Limited Mental Health (LMH) endorsements and ADRD dementia-training standards — along with secured-unit requirements and how to plan ahead as Alzheimer's or vascular dementia progresses. She has particular expertise in reading Florida Health Finder inspection records for red flags before a family commits.
Sandra Boyd contributes practical, Florida-specific guidance to the Jacksonville Senior Advisor blog. Our advice is free to families and grounded in current AHCA licensing data and SMMC LTC Medicaid rules.
Free, no-pressure call. We work for families, not facilities.
