What to Consider About Assisted Living in Hollywood

Located in South Florida, Hollywood features a beach named Fodor's "Best Beach for Families," a 2.5 miles path along the beach called "Broadwalk" and the Anne Kolb Nature Center. Seniors living here account for almost 17 percent of the population in Hollywood and have several options for assisted living: There are currently 29 assisted living communities in Hollywood, with 33 others located in nearby communities like Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Pembroke Pines.

Regulated by the State of Florida Department of Elder Affairs, assisted living facilities (ALFs) in Hollywood are categorized as residential facilities that provide housing, meals, personal care and support services and function as an alternative to 24-hour nursing supervision. In addition to a standard ALF license, Florida also provides three other specialty ALF licenses, including extended congregate care (ECC), limited nursing services (LNS) and limited mental health (LMH).

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Hollywood

  • Climate is among Hollywood's bright points, with a summer average high of 90 degrees, an average winter low of 59 degrees and 246 sunny days per year. However, the area is prone to excessive rain in the summer months, with 60 days of rainfall each year and is at risk for frequent hurricanes. 
  • The cost of living is high in South Florida and Hollywood in particular, averaging 6 percent higher than the mean in the United States. 
  • Florida has no state income tax and is among seven states that do not levy taxes on Social Security or pension income, helping seniors save money on the cost of assisted living facilities.
  • Hollywood does not have significant access to public transportation, with bus routes provided by Broward County Transit and access to limited trolley services. The area is also served by the Tri-Rail, a commuter train system that traverses the tri-county area. 
  • The Hollywood area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Memorial Regional Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness
  • Hollywood is a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, meaning that its elected leadership “has made the commitment to actively work toward making their town, city or county a great place for people of all ages,” according to AARP.
