Discovery Village Fleming Island's AHCA profile does not list a Memory Care program, so treat it as assisted living rather than a secured dementia setting, and ask directly how it would care for a resident whose dementia progresses.

It holds no ECC, LNS or LMH specialty license, so its care is limited to standard ALF services; a resident who needs regular nursing care would generally need a facility with a specialty license or a nursing home.

What should you ask when touring Discovery Village Fleming Island?

Ask Discovery Village Fleming Island for its most recent AHCA survey first, then cover overnight staffing, the full rate sheet and which care needs would force a move.

• How long have the administrator and the resident care director been in their roles?
• Is a nurse on site every day, and who covers nights and weekends?
• What happens if a resident runs out of private funds — do you work with SMMC long-term care plans?
• Can we visit unannounced in the evening and at mealtimes?
• Do you accept VA Aid & Attendance or long-term care insurance, and do you help with the paperwork?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the community?
• What is the monthly rate for my parent's exact care level, and what triggers an increase?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing home?

Visit twice — once at a meal and once in the evening — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit. Florida gives ALF residents specific rights under s. 429.28, F.S., including 45 days' written notice before a non-emergency relocation or discharge.

How does moving into Discovery Village Fleming Island work?

Florida requires a medical examination on AHCA Form 1823, completed within 60 days before or 30 days after admission, so Discovery Village Fleming Island can confirm it can meet your parent's needs.

• Residency agreement. Florida requires a written contract listing the services, the rate and the notice the facility must give before a rate increase; compare it with other communities before signing.
• Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and, where accepted, SMMC LTC Medicaid can offset costs.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a room is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the contract helps most.
