Grand Living at Tamaya

Is Grand Living at Tamaya a licensed assisted living facility in Florida?

Yes — provisionally. Grand Living at Tamaya holds Florida ALF license #13324 for 215 beds, issued by AHCA as a provisional license on February 6, 2026. AHCA issues provisional licenses to new licensees, including after a change of ownership, until the first full survey is complete.

AHCA recorded a change of ownership on February 6, 2026, so the current licensee's own history starts there; older inspections and fines in the record belong largely to the previous operator. Ask who runs the building day to day now.

Check it yourself on FloridaHealthFinder, which shows the license dates, specialty licenses, ownership and any sanctions AHCA has imposed.

Has AHCA fined or sanctioned Grand Living at Tamaya?

The largest was $20,000 (initiated July 30, 2025, AHCA case 2025011281). That is larger than 69% of the AHCA fines on record for assisted living in the five counties, so ask the facility to walk you through that case.

Does Grand Living at Tamaya offer memory care in Jacksonville?

Yes. Grand Living at Tamaya's AHCA profile lists a Memory Care program. Florida has no separate memory care license, so memory care is delivered under the ALF license, and a facility that advertises Alzheimer's care must disclose those services and train staff under Florida's ADRD rules.

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 Grand Living at Tamaya?

Start with what AHCA has already cited at Grand Living at Tamaya — dementia (ADRD) training and care, resident rights, contracts and visitation and staffing standards — and ask what changed afterward; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate sheet and what would trigger a move-out.

• Which staff have completed Florida's ADRD dementia training, and how are new hires covered before they finish it?
• Can we take the residency agreement home to review before signing, and what is your visitation policy?
• How many direct-care staff are awake overnight, and how many residents does each one cover?
• How do you notify families after a fall or other incident, and how fast?
• 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?

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 Grand Living at Tamaya work?

Florida requires a medical examination on AHCA Form 1823, completed within 60 days before or 30 days after admission, so Grand Living at Tamaya 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.
• Memory care placement. Ask how Grand Living at Tamaya decides between assisted living and memory care for a new resident, and whether a move between them changes the rate.
• 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.
