What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bonifay

Bonifay is a small town located in the northwest region of Florida. The city was incorporated in 1921, and it serves as the county seat for Holmes County. The city has roughly 2,800 residents, nearly 600 of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. 

Bonifay seniors who need assistance with some activities of daily living may choose to move to an assisted living facility. Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration licenses several different types of assisted living facilities in the Bonifay region, including standard homes, limited nursing services facilities and extended congregate care. There are four assisted living facilities in the Bonifay region, including three in the city proper and one in the neighboring city of Caryville.

  • Bonifay ranks among the hottest cities in the state with summer highs reaching an average of 92 degrees.
