SERENADES BY SONATA — Assisted Living in Longwood, Florida
Serenades by Sonata is a 57-bed assisted living facility in Longwood, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 27 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 2 serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 5 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, limited nursing services (LNS). It accepts Medicaid and VA benefits. It has operated under Sonata Longwood, LLC for about 14 years.
Serious enforcement findings are the dominant driver of this score, reflecting a history of state sanctions and a recent inspection that identified a serious deficiency. AHCA records repeatedly cite resident care, admissions practices, and staff training as recurring problem areas; cited deficiencies have been corrected so no open citations remain, and the pattern of findings has generally eased in more recent inspections even though the prior enforcement keeps the overall profile elevated.
