SUNNY BOWER — Assisted Living in Bradenton, Florida

Sunny Bower is a 16-bed assisted living facility in Bradenton, Manatee County, Florida. Its CareQED grade is 98 out of 100 — a strong record based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records show no serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. Care options include memory care. It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under Annie's Homes for the Elderly, Inc. for about 22 years. Bottom line: The facility has a strong inspection record overall and participates in Medicaid and VA programs, which may ease payment options for some families. However, there are several mid-level citations on file and a substantiated complaint, so you may want to ask what changes were made to address those issues and how they monitor ongoing care quality.
