The directory lists every active license AHCA's locator shows in Lee County for assisted living facilities, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, adult day care centers and adult family care homes, 247 in all, with CMS ratings for nursing homes and OIR's list of life plan communities.

Where does the directory's data come from?
Only from official bulk data: AHCA's FloridaHealthFinder locator and facility profiles (retrieved November 6, 2026), AHCA's posted inspection histories, CMS's Provider Information dataset (data as of October 1, 2026) and OIR's October 2025 CCRC map; no aggregator listings, facility marketing or reviews.
Facility pages exist for the 43 ALFs licensed for 17 or more residents and all 18 nursing homes; smaller ALFs and the other license types appear as roster rows that show licensed beds and whether an inspection report is posted.
How do I use the listing pages?
Each listing has a search box and filters for city and license type (and CMS rating for nursing homes), and every column sorts when you click its heading, so you can, for example, list every LNS-licensed ALF in Cape Coral by size.
How current are the inspection dates?
AHCA inspects ALFs for relicensure about every two years and investigates complaints in between; among the 43 Lee County ALFs licensed for 17 or more residents that have a posted standard survey, the median latest survey is 12 months old and recorded 3 deficiencies.
A complaint visit without citations means an allegation was not substantiated; a clean standard survey is the stronger signal.
