Palagio Senior Living

Is Palagio Senior Living a licensed assisted living facility in Florida?

Yes. Palagio Senior Living holds Florida ALF license #13475 for 120 beds. FloridaHealthFinder lists the license as in review, meaning AHCA is processing the renewal; the license stays open while that review is pending.

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

Has AHCA fined or sanctioned Palagio Senior Living?

No. Palagio Senior Living's FloridaHealthFinder profile lists no AHCA fines, conditional licenses or other sanctions as of October 2026.

That puts it among the 41 Duval County assisted living facilities with no fine since 2021. A clean sanction record is a good sign, but still read the inspection reports — most citations never lead to a fine.

Does Palagio Senior Living offer memory care in Orange Park?

Yes. Palagio Senior Living'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.

How much does Palagio Senior Living cost per month?

AHCA does not publish prices, so ask Palagio Senior Living for its written rate sheet. Across the Jacksonville metro, memory care typically runs $4,500–$6,800/mo in 2026, with the Beaches, Ponte Vedra and Nocatee at the high end.

Palagio Senior Living's AHCA profile lists Medicaid among its payment forms. In Florida, the SMMC Long-Term Care program can cover care services (not room and board) for eligible residents in an ALF that contracts with the resident's plan — ask whether a Medicaid bed is open.

The profile also lists VA among accepted payment forms.

What should you ask when touring Palagio Senior Living?

Start with what AHCA has already cited at Palagio Senior Living — medication assistance, storage and records and staff training — and ask what changed afterward; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate sheet and what would trigger a move-out.

• Who helps residents with medications on the night shift, and how are missed or late doses caught?
• How do you track annual in-service training, and can I see the schedule?
• 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?
• 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?

Tour at a mealtime, ask to see this week's activity calendar, and take the contract home. Under s. 429.28, F.S., a Florida ALF must give 45 days' written notice before a non-emergency relocation or discharge.

How does moving into Palagio Senior Living work?

Moving into Palagio Senior Living starts with a medical examination recorded on AHCA Form 1823 — done within 60 days before admission or 30 days after — which confirms your parent meets Florida's ALF admission criteria.

• 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 Palagio Senior Living 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.

If Palagio Senior Living has no opening, ask to be put on its waitlist and keep touring — availability at large Northeast Florida communities changes month to month.
