SOMERSET — Assisted Living in Tavares, Florida
Somerset is a 60-bed assisted living facility in Tavares, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 79 out of 100 (Solid record), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records show no serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 1 state sanction or final order, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care. It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under Jest Operating, INC. for about 22 years.
The record is comparatively clean with no serious findings or active enforcement actions driving the score.
