The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Aventura, FL for 2024

Aventura is a densely populated suburban city located midway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It boasts excellent beaches, restaurants, parks and Florida’s largest shopping mall. Seniors comprise a far above-average 27.9% of its 40,000+ residents, which suggests it’s popular with older citizens. This may partly be explained by the region’s excellent health care facilities, low rates of violent crime and air quality.

Aventura’s assisted living facilities provide their residents with the comforts of home. Their private or semiprivate rooms are often furnished with objects from home, chefs prepare nutritious meals three times a day, and staff manage mentally and physically stimulating on-site activities. They also help with daily living tasks as required, such as dressing and eating, and help residents manage their medications. The median fee for assisted living in Aventura is $4,385 per month, which is above Florida’s average but below the country’s norm.

This guide considers the benefits and drawbacks of living in Aventura, the cost of assisted living and other types of senior care in the area and how families may finance long-term care. It also lists some free senior-friendly resources and touches on the rules and regulations governing assisted living in Florida.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Aventura

Aventura assisted living facilities must be licensed. They must provide evidence of financial stability, staff training and compliance with regulations regarding building codes, fire safety and health and safety. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration’s Bureau of Health Facility Regulation issues licenses, which are valid for two years. Licensed facilities are subject to unannounced inspections by the bureau.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Aventura

  • Sperling’s BestPlaces gives Aventura an average cost of living index of 115.9, which is far above the state and national averages. The primary reason for the higher average is the cost of renting or buying a home, which isn’t a concern to most assisted living residents. 
  • Seniors moving to Aventura from out of state will find Florida is very tax-friendly. It doesn’t tax older residents’ Social Security income or withdrawals from retirement accounts, and there is no state income tax. 
  • Aventura’s elders can easily access high-quality medical care, as Aventura Hospital is well-regarded and centrally located. It’s a 467-bed acute care facility staffed by cardiologists, dermatologists, orthopedic surgeons and cancer specialists, among others. There are also several clinics in the area, and Aventura is located just 25 minutes from the many hospitals in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
  • The city boasts 18 more physicians per 100,000 people than the U.S. average of 210.
  • Aventura’s water quality is slightly below the norm, but not to an unhealthy level, and the quality of the air coming in from the Atlantic is far better than what the typical American breathes. Aventura’s commitment to making the city healthier is illustrated by its success in cleaning up contaminated land as part of the EPA’s Superfund project.
  • Violent crime in Aventura is less than half the U.S. average, which may please seniors worried about how safe the area is. However, property crime is significantly more common. Although this is concerning, seniors should know assisted living facilities typically have strict security measures in place and staff on duty around the clock.
  • Many people move to Florida for the sun, and Aventura doesn’t disappoint because it gets 48 more sunny days annually than the U.S. average of 205. The city’s residents rarely experience winter temperatures below 58 degrees, so icy sidewalks aren’t an issue. Summer temperatures of around 90 degrees and high rainfall generate periods of potentially uncomfortable humidity, but these are often tempered by cool breezes sweeping in from the Atlantic.

Paying for Assisted Living in Aventura

The median cost of assisted living in Aventura is $4,385 per month, although fees can be higher or lower, as facilities may have varying price structures.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program(866) 595-7678This program helps seniors prepare their taxes. IRS-certified volunteers can do most of the work on the senior's behalf or both parties can work together. Centers where seniors drop off their documents can change annually, so it's prudent to check the tax-aide locator at the start of each tax season.

Review of Sterling Aventura

Sterling Aventura was very nice. They pretty much have everything. It's a little bit cheaper but I don't like being down there in Miami. It's not the best place to be. I have nothing against them...
