SANCTUARY BY STRIVE - BEAR LAKE — Assisted Living in Apopka, Florida

Sanctuary by Strive - Bear Lake is a 15-bed assisted living facility in Apopka, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 55 out of 100 (Notable concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 2 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing. It accepts VA benefits. It has operated under Ssl Bear Lake Operating, LLC for about 7 years.

Serious findings are present and weigh heavily on the score, and the facility also has state enforcement actions on record. The inspections repeatedly flagged staffing standards, resident care, and staff training, and while cited deficiencies have since been corrected on survey, substantiated complaints and recurring citations in those same care areas make the overall trend steady rather than clearly improving.
