GOLDEN POND COMMUNITIES — Assisted Living in Winter Garden, Florida

Golden Pond Communities is a 108-bed assisted living facility in Winter Garden, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 0 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 2 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing, limited nursing services (LNS). It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under Winter Garden Opco, LLC. for about 9 years.

Serious findings are present and drive the low score because the facility has repeatedly received high‑severity citations that remain on its record. Most citations involve resident care, admissions, staff training, food service, medication handling and staffing standards; many past deficiencies were corrected but several serious issues remain open and the inspection pattern shows recurring problems rather than sustained improvement.
