Aus Senior Living at Bartow, LLC is a 36-bed assisted living facility in Bartow, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 53 out of 100 (Notable concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings.

Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing. It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under Aus Senior Living at Bartow LLC for about 1 year.
Serious findings are present on the facility record and drive the lower score, and the site also has formal state enforcement actions on its file. Repeated issues have centered on staff training, meeting staffing standards, food service practices, admissions processes, resident care, and recordkeeping; the facility has corrected the cited deficiencies noted in inspections, but the enforcement history remains. Overall the pattern is mixed: there have been periods of fewer problems suggesting some improvement, yet intermittent upticks in violations keep the record inconsistent.
