What to Consider About Assisted Living in Jacksonville
Nearly 13 percent of Jacksonville's population of 892,062 residents are ages 65 and older. Some of these seniors may benefit from living in one of the area's 60 assisted living facilities, along with four facilities located nearby in Ponte Vedra and Fernandina Beach.
In Florida, the Bureau of Health Facility Regulation oversees assisted living facilities (ALFs). These facilities can acquire several different licenses, including Limited Nursing, Limited Mental Health, Extended Congregate Care and Standard. These licensing requirements ensure ALFs in Jacksonville and the rest of the state deliver high-quality care to seniors.

- Getting around Jacksonville is convenient with public transit. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority has routes that travel throughout the city, and seniors 65 and older ride for free.
- Jacksonville's cost of living is close to average, ranking 99.5 on a scale where 100 represents the U.S. average. Housing costs are lower than average at 88, and healthcare costs rank 97. Seniors may want to consider the cost of living when researching assisted living facilities in the area.
